Crepe paper flowers
Many people enjoy making various paper crafts. When making them, it is best to use crepe paper. This material is particularly durable, retains its shape for a long time. Today we will talk about how you can make flowers from this paper with your own hands.
What will it take to work?
For the manufacture of such crepe crafts according to various master classes, it is necessary to prepare corrugated paper. In this case, it is better to immediately prepare sheets of different bright colors. And also scissors and glue will come in handy (it is better to take PVA). If you want to decorate the product, then you need to purchase rhinestones, beads or beautiful little stickers.
How to make roses?
To begin with, we will analyze how to correctly make beautiful roses from crepe material. To do this, you need the following:
- crepe paper (color can be any);
- wire;
- PVA glue);
- scissors;
- cardboard;
- simple pencil;
- adhesive tape;
- floral green ribbon.
15 petals in the shape of hearts are cut out of the material, as well as 5 petals in the form of drops. It is best to use pre-printed templates to keep the details clean and neat. After that, the cut out elements are given the required shape. To do this, the hearts are stretched to the sides, and the droplets are twisted with a pencil.
Next, two pieces of wire are taken, they are wrapped in a floral green ribbon. Then a piece of crepe paper is glued to the resulting stem to imitate the core.
Later you can start forming a flower bud. To do this, petals in the form of droplets, and then petals in the form of hearts, are gradually glued onto the stem with a core. It is better to fix all this with adhesive tape.
Next, a sepal is cut out of green corrugated paper. It is also fixed at the base of the flower with adhesive tape.
Leaves should be cut out of the same material and glued to the stem of the finished rose.
Making tulips
Next, we will look at step-by-step instructions that will allow you to make beautiful tulips from crepe paper with sweets with your own hands. For this we need the following:
- simple pencil;
- double sided tape;
- green teip tape;
- scissors;
- satin tape;
- packing material for bouquets;
- wire;
- pliers;
- wooden stick.
The wire is taken first. It is cut into separate pieces of different lengths. In the future, these elements will become flower stems. Next, you need to take corrugated paper. 8 small strips of the same size are cut out of it. To form a bud, you will need 6 such parts. Each of them must be bent in the center so that the front parts are directed in one direction, the resulting blanks will become petals.
Next, the wire is taken. Double-sided tape is fixed to one end of it. One candy is fixed on the tip of the wire. A flower bud will gather around it. The first prepared petal is taken and attached to the tape. The second and third such elements must be placed near the candy and fixed with a tape.
After that, the rest of the petals are attached in the same way. The excess ends of the corrugated material are carefully trimmed at the base at an angle.
The stem is wrapped with green tape. Next, a sheet of green corrugated paper is taken. A small strip is cut from it. It is cut into two equal parts. Each of them is folded 4 times, leaves are cut out of the folded material. Each sheet is gently pulled in a spiral pattern using a wooden stick.
All leaves are fixed on the stem with tape. It is better to make several of these tulips with sweets at once and wrap them in packing material.
For more information on how to make a tulip with candy, see the next master class.
Composition with flowers on a plate
Next, we will look at a master class on making beautiful flowers on a plate. For this we need:
- disposable plate;
- scissors;
- glue;
- corrugated paper (you can take any colors);
- acrylic rhinestones.
Crepe material is taken first. The same neat rectangles are cut out of it, then ovals are formed from them, cutting off the corners. Next, on one resulting petal, make a small dot of glue and glue it to the other petal, turning it slightly with a fan. In this way, the rest of the details are fixed. Several of these small flowers should be made.
In this case, it is better to prepare products of different colors so that the composition turns out to be brighter and more interesting.
Later, green paper is taken. Leaves for flowers are cut out of it. All the resulting blanks are glued to the plate. The resulting composition should be decorated with stickers in the form of ladybirds or butterflies, acrylic rhinestones. This craft can be made by children and beginners. The decorative item can be attached to the wall.
Other nice ideas
You can make beautiful and lush giant flowers with your own hands. Most often, in the manufacture of this craft, crepe paper of pale pink, apricot, olive, cream, orange colors is used.
First you need to make a strong flower stem. For this, three thick stem wires are connected to each other. This is done with glue and floral green tape.
After that, you can start creating a flower bud. You need to take five small petals in the form of droplets. One of them is tightly wrapped around the stem.Next, the remaining four petals are glued. Make sure they are evenly distributed.
Then another 15 large blanks in the form of hearts are attached to the small elements. Their ends must be slightly bent back. Leaf blades are cut separately from the green corrugated material. They are stuck to the stem in a checkerboard pattern. This is done with scotch tape, glue and floral tape.
You can also make a beautiful volumetric peony out of corrugated paper. To do this, you should prepare material of several bright colors at once. Sheets are laid out neatly in layers. Then they are folded in the form of an accordion (the thickness of the folds should be about 2-3 cm).
Each color stack should be secured with thin wire. To make the peony more neat and beautiful, you need to reduce the length of each paper strip by one centimeter. With the help of scissors, you need to cut off the ends of the pointed and rounded shape. Thereafter, clamps are attached in the center of each pack.
The edges of all bundles should be trimmed with scissors so that a fringe is obtained. Then all the blanks are stacked on top of each other. Moreover, the largest convolutions should appear at the base, and smaller ones on top.
Starting from the central part, the side petals are raised. And also it is necessary to gradually straighten all the stripes from each flower layer. If desired, you can attach stems with leaves to ready-made bright peonies.
The resulting craft is often used as a beautiful decor for the interior.
Now let's figure out how to make beautiful asters from such paper with our own hands. The creped material is cut into strips. In this case, one of them should be 6 cm wide and 1 m long. The other strip should be 50 cm long and 3 cm wide. The resulting parts are cut into fringes and twisted into neat flagella.
Later, a thin wooden skewer is taken. One end is greased with glue. Next, a narrow short strip is wound on it. Then a second paper strip is wound there.
After that, the workpieces are fixed on a skewer with glue. The base is tightly tied with a thread. A narrow strip made of green crepe paper is also tightly wound around the skewer. It is also fixed with glue.
At the final stage, small neat leaves are cut out of the same green material. They are fixed to the stem.
There is another master class that allows you to make a beautiful aster. In this case, white corrugated paper is taken, it is cut into strips with a length of about 60-70 cm, with a width of 6 cm. Then they are cut with a fringe.
The ends of each paper strip are curled. At the same time, it is necessary to make the core of the aster - the stamens. To do this, take a small strip of yellow paper. It is also cut into fringe. It is then rolled tightly and attached to a wooden skewer.
Next, white blanks are gradually wound on a skewer. The base is fixed with threads. The piece of wood is completely wrapped in a green paper strip. It is fixed with glue. You can make several of these flowers and collect them in a bouquet.
