How to make a rose from a napkin?

Nowadays, there is a very large number of varied decor for various types of decoration: from store variety (the shelves of many outlets are full of products for every taste and color) to do-it-yourself crafts.

Mass-market products do not differ from each other. They are all of the same type and similar, focused not on a specific customer, but on general demand. And also such things are often of average and low quality.

Non-industrial jewelry is distinguished by its character and uniqueness... When making them, the author puts love and a piece of himself into them. It is always more pleasant to receive something sincere and cozy as a gift. For example, handmade flowers. These include and roses from napkins... They can serve not only as a decoration and serving element, but also as a beautiful addition to a gift. Or an original sign of attention.

For those who first encounter this type of creativity and want to try themselves in it, it is better to start with simple ways of folding such colors.

To make a rose from napkins, you will need simple tools that can be found in any home:

• paper napkins or towels of any color, but plain colors look more advantageous;
• scissors;
• pencil;
• threads, it is better to take strong ones (sometimes it can even be replaced with wire).

To make a rose with your own hands beautifully and quickly, it is enough to strictly follow the instructions, in which all the steps for making are described step by step.

1. First you need to take a napkin folded in four, as in the package, without straightening anything, one side of which we bend. The folded edge should be 1 cm.
2. Next, we wrap it with a fold on the index finger of the hand - so that the folded edge is at the base of the finger.
3. Squeeze the resulting cylinder a little and twist the upper edge.
4. Finally, turn the edge outward a little so that the rose looks more blossoming.

There is another simple way to make this flower. It is called a bud on a stem.

1. You will need a fully unfolded napkin or square paper towel. The material should be spread out so that one layer is obtained.
2. On one side, we retreat 2 cm and twist a thin tube.
3. Next, we proceed to the formation of the bud. To do this, gently twist it on the other side. At the same time, we pinch the place in the middle between the stem and the flower. You need to wrap it loosely to get a voluminous rose.
4. We twist the remaining napkin, and straighten the edge that remains sticking out. It will serve as a leaf on the stem.

Nowadays, when the Internet is ubiquitous, anyone can learn such simple techniques, even a schoolboy who has access to a home computer or any other device with an Internet connection. There is a large amount of information on this topic in the digital space. You can find a huge number of video and photo master classes. And even find specialists who will help you with advice on how to make it better and more aesthetically pleasing.

And if you are fed up with a simple technique and want something larger and more creative in appearance, it will be useful to learn about other techniques for making a rose.

A non-professional can also cope with such a technique for performing work, although it will require a little more effort than the above methods. You need to follow the instructions, carefully, slowly, step by step performing the strictly specified actions. The result is more elegant than simple methods.

To make such a rose, you can take material of any shade.... But the red petals will be brighter and more expressive.

For work you will need:

• napkins, you can also use corrugated paper, but this will be a more expensive color option;
• wire or tape - for fixing the petals together;
• a pencil, but any stick of suitable thickness can be used instead, such as a Japanese sushi cutlery;
• stapler;
• scissors - for cutting the napkin into equal squares if it is large (in this case, you can do without this tool and take standard size copies).

A step-by-step description of the technique for making a rose on a pencil:

• smooth the napkin gently;
• take a pencil or any other similar stick, place this object on the edge of the prepared sheet and wrap the paper tightly over it so that the indent from the edge is about 5 cm, it should remain even;
• squeeze the twisted part, you should get a small accordion.

Next, alternately (with an even edge to the stem), you need to roll up the sheets a little and fasten them to each other from below with wire or tape tape.

The finished bud can be attached to the stem, which will turn out to be made from a green napkin. It is simple to do: you need to screw the latter onto a wire and fasten it (you should get a thin tube).

This kind of work is also within the power of beginners. You need to practice a little and, perhaps, refer to the execution scheme, then with the advent of experience it will be easy to twist the petals using a pencil.

For more effect, you can make several of these colors. Then, when presenting a bouquet, there will be more positive emotions from him than from one rose.

There are other types of crafts with the flower in question made of paper. Namely: a fluffy volumetric rose, a rose in a glass and a topiary.

These types of fakes can be a table decoration for a holiday. And also these are small details that give a new style shade to the interior.

This type of craft is used not only to decorate the table, but also as a decor for hairpins and elastic bands. In combination with other elements, excellent jewelry details are obtained. It can be done with your baby and taken as a craft to the older group of the garden. Or complement the gift for the teacher with such a cute accent. And also any girl will be delighted with such an addition in the form of a brooch on a dress for a matinee.

To complete it, you will need the following tools:

• scissors;
• napkins of any color depending on the desired result;
• stapler;
• wire for creativity;
• green craft paper (it is better to take corrugated paper for a more beautiful and high-quality result).

The procedure is described below.

1. The napkins must first be folded in the middle in both directions.
2. Then cut along the fold line. You will get 8 small squares, 4 from each.
3. Put all the parts together and fix the resulting stack of sheets in the center with a stapler.
4. We take scissors and cut the corners of the squares, rounding them in this way. You should get an almost round shape for each staple sheet.
5. Further, starting from the upper fixed circle, with our hands we form a bud from them (in turn: from the top to the bottom).

There is another way to make a fluffy rose, but from a cloth napkin.

1. You need to take a number of equal-sized squares of fabric.
2. Create a stack of all the prepared pieces.
3. You need to trim the edge a little, for example, in a waveform.
4. We fold an accordion out of them and fix it in the center with a thread or wire to get the shape of a bow.
5. Then we wrap the bonding place to get the base on one side, and on the other - the petals.

You can choose any of these two methods, the end result is a fluffy beautiful rose. It is best to make a bouquet of them. This is a pretty quick way to get voluminous flowers.

To add beauty to the festive table decoration, it is better to create an interior element such as a rose in a glass or vase.

A rose in a glass or vase differs from other types of products in that it can be made not only from a paper napkin, but also from a cloth one. It is widely used as a decoration for table setting, as well as as an independent decorative item. Also, this type of rose can be performed only in the singular. Of course, you can make several roses, but not in one glass, but in several. This is her uniqueness and main feature - she should be alone in this vessel. This adds a touch of romance to this composition.

To perform this type of rose you will need:

• a glass or vase, a glass will work too;
• a napkin made of paper or fabric in red, pink or white, you can take other colors (we use it to create the rose itself);
• green towel (for making leaves).

A fabric rose looks much more advantageous than a paper rose. And also it has practical properties, in addition to aesthetic: the napkins from which it is created can be used for its intended purpose.

The technique for performing this decor element is very simple. You just need to practice to get a good result.

1. First, they take a piece of green fabric, fold it in the form of an accordion, intercept it in the center with a thread and place it in a glass.
2. The side of the material of a different color is bent 2 cm and twisted into a bud. The easiest way to do this is by wrapping the fabric around your finger. As a result, you get a cylindrical base for the flower.
3. The bottom of the cylinder is fastened with wire or thread.
4. For greater resemblance to a rose, the edge is slightly straightened outward, so that it looks like petals.
5. Then we put the resulting flower in a glass - on the foliage made of green fabric.

Topiary - This is a decoration, an element of decor, which is made in the form of a round tree with a trunk and is most often in a flower pot or on a stand imitating the earth.

This craft, unlike a rose in a glass, cannot be performed in the singular. To make this creative product, you need to prepare several blanks in the form of roses.

Roses for topiary can be made in different ways. The main thing is the principle of performing the topiary itself.

You will need the following materials:

• a foam ball, it is better to take a small or medium size - depending on what dimensions the final product should be;
• napkins of the color planned for the topiary;
• glue gun;
• a flower pot filled, for example with plaster, for fixing the stem;
• rod to simulate the trunk.

The technique for performing this craft from roses is described below.

1. Prepare a napkin, cut it into several strips. They should not be too wide (approx. 5 cm).
2. The edges need to be folded 2 cm.
3. We twist it into a bud and slightly squeeze it at the very bottom.
4. Flowers will be required at least 30 pieces, depending on the size of the blank ball.
5. We fix the ball on a rod, which we fix in a plaster base in a pot. Or directly to the bottom of the pot we glue the rod securely. Then you can fill it with any loose material for crafts.
6. We fix the roses with a glue gun over the entire surface of the ball tightly to each other, leaving no empty areas.
