Corrugated paper chrysanthemums

Very beautiful chrysanthemums are obtained from corrugated paper. There are many schemes for the manufacture of such products. In today's article we will look at how you can make beautiful flowers from corrugated paper with your own hands.

Beautiful chrysanthemums from corrugated paper can be made not only by experienced, but also by novice papermakers. There is nothing prohibitively complicated in such creative processes. The main thing is to use quality materials and tools. In order for the flowers to turn out beautiful and neat, the master needs to purchase good corrugated paper. It is advisable to buy several flowers at once. High-quality crepe paper is sold in many stores that sell office supplies, as well as everything for creativity.

It is very important to prepare good scissors for modeling the craft. The blades must be very sharp. If the master uses blunt scissors, then all the cuts will turn out to be sloppy and uneven. Because of this, the overall appearance of the paper craft will suffer.

To make a good chrysanthemum stem, you will need to prepare dense wire or wooden skewers. Both options will do. If there is only a very thin wire, then 2 parts can be connected together at once to make the stem.

In the manufacture of paper flowers, you cannot do without clerical glue. You can use the classic PVA composition, but in some situations it is more convenient to use a glue gun or hot melt glue.

Craftsmen who are little familiar with the manufacture of crafts from corrugated paper are advised to first make simple flowers. Modeling such products does not require a lot of free time. Let's consider step by step how you can easily and simply create spectacular chrysanthemums from corrugated paper with your own hands. To create a flower, you can use paper of different colors. For example, it could be a positive shade of yellow. A strip with a width of 5 cm and a length of 30 cm should be cut from a sheet of corrugated paper of a similar color. The part should only be stretched along the long side. The workpiece is folded several times, after which cuts are made at a distance of about 1 cm. They should not reach the opposite side.

Next, the strip needs to be expanded. Now the master will need to start shaping the petals of the future flower. For this, 1 strip is folded in half and twisted. In the next step, you will need to bend the lower part and stretch it a little. This will make 1 petal. The work should be continued in a similar pattern to form other petals. Next, you need to use PVA glue. With the help of this composition, it will be necessary to fix the bent petals. This should be done with the rest of the petals on the workpiece.

Additionally, you need to model the same petals from stripes 6x30 cm and 9x30 cm. For the middle of the flower, you need to cut a strip of 2x30 cm. It should also be stretched in length. The workpiece is folded several times and cuts are made at a distance of 7 mm. The ends are rounded off. Now each small petal is carefully stretched.

Then you can proceed to the formation of the flower. For this, the smallest petals are fixed with a glue gun. Thus, the middle will be ready. Next, you need to take blanks with a width of 5 cm. These petals are glued in a circle. With each row, the petals should be raised by about 1 mm. Now a strip of 6 cm is taken. It is also glued in a circle, raising the petals.

Then you need to take green paper. A rectangular piece of 4x9 cm is cut off from it. One side of the piece is made toothed. The corners of the other side are rounded. Shallow cuts are made on this part.

Using a glue gun, the green part is fixed under the flower. After that, the stem and leaves are drawn up. All ready-made components are fastened into a single structure. A simple and beautiful craft is ready!

The craft can turn out to be more original and interesting if you add sweet surprises to it. Beautiful paper chrysanthemums, decorated with your favorite sweets, will serve as a creative gift for a variety of occasions. You can make such a composition to present it as an addition to the main present. Consider a detailed workshop on modeling attractive paper chrysanthemums with candy. First you need to take a base in the form of a skewer, a piece of foil or polysilka, as well as a candy. One of the tails of the wrapper should be taken and gently crushed to the candy itself. The second tail will need to be attached to a wooden skewer. Next, the candy will need to be wrapped in a foil piece and fixed on a skewer. If you use the most common foil, then you just need to twist its edges surrounded by the future stem along with the tail of the candy package. If the master does not use foil, but polysilk, then the tails should be additionally wrapped with thread and cut off the extra corners.

For additional strength, the base of the flower can be wrapped with a tape. Next, you will need to make the core of the paper chrysanthemum. This is done very simply: you need to take paper for the petals, cut off a strip from it across with a width slightly larger than the foil-wrapped candy along with the base. The length of the stripe should be such that at least 3 turns around the candy can be made.Cut one side to form a fringe. On the other hand, triangles of 1.5-2 cm are made. The middle of the strip is stretched, after which the workpiece is wrapped. The bottom of the paper must be secured with thread.

In the next step, the master will need to prepare the chrysanthemum petals. There should be enough of them to form a beautiful flower. The petals will turn out to be formed from strips about 1.5 cm wide. The details that will be located closer to the middle should be slightly narrower. Each of the strips will need to be cut into 3-4 more pieces.

After that, you can proceed to the formation of chrysanthemum petals. The bottom of each petal must be trimmed at the corners. Then each petal is taken. A drop of glue is applied to it. Next, the part is pressed against the base of the flower. Thus, it will be necessary to fasten all the elements one by one. It is necessary to continue fixing the petals until the flower blank acquires the desired appearance.

Next, you need to move on to modeling the stem. To do this, you need to use green corrugated paper and tape. First, a sepal is formed. To do this, you need to cut out a green strip with a width of 4-5 cm. The length should be such that you can make 1 revolution around the bottom of the flower. You will need to make 4 cuts to the middle of the strip. After that, the workpiece is twisted and glued like petals.

The opposite part is cut into triangles. We need to make some green leaves. When all the details are ready, you will need to assemble the paper chrysanthemum with candy into a single composition. First, the sepal is fixed on hot melt glue close to the base of the flower. Next, the stalk is wrapped with tape, screwing on the leaves.
