If a novice papermaker does not have much experience in creating crepe crafts, then it is best to start with the simplest products. To model such things, it is enough to prepare only the paper component without additional components.

We will learn how you can make a beautiful and simple sunflower using only crepe paper with your own hands.

• To make a sunflower, you need to prepare yellow, black and green crepe paper first. Several blanks need to be made from these materials: 4 black strips with a width of 30 cm and a height of 3 cm, 2 yellow strips - 20 cm and 7 cm, 1 green blank - 20 and 5 cm.And you will also need to use a wire base for the stem, glue -pistol and ruler with scissors.
• The master will need to cut each strip of black color slightly on one edge. There should be about 1 cm to the other side. The fringe should be twisted slightly with your fingers.
• The yellow stripes should be cut into separate pieces with a width of about 1 cm or a little more. The gap to the opposite edge should be 1 cm. Using small scissors, the master will need to round off the tips of the petals. The center of each component is gently folded back, stretching the corrugation.

• Now you need to take the green stripes. A sepal should be formed from them by cutting triangles on one edge.
• The next step is to assemble the original sunflower. Start with a bead of glue applied to the tip of the wire base. Next, 1 black blank is taken and wound on a wire. All rows must converge. With the remaining black details, similar manipulations must be done. During assembly, you must not forget about the application of glue.
• The formed black circle must be carefully straightened at the edges. The cut pieces should be directed to the sides.

• Now we need to tackle the petals. You need to wind the yellow stripes in a circle over the black ones so that their bottom remains at the same point. The petals should be evenly distributed. It is desirable that they are arranged in the chess order. For reliability, it is recommended to apply the adhesive more often. After that, the petals are straightened.
• It remains to fix the green sepal. The stem must be supplemented with green tape. Stretch each pointed end of the green component in the middle.
• Next, you need to take a narrow green strip of corrugated paper with a width of 1-1.5 cm. With this element it is necessary to wrap the wire along its entire length, while applying glue.

• Next, you need to cut a blank from black corrugated paper. The size of this blank should be 7x7 cm.

• The candy should be wrapped in this blank, and then secured with a thread.
• Next, you need to use the mesh material. The silver mesh will look very impressive and elegant. This component will need to wrap the candy in black paper.

• Next, you should proceed to modeling the petals. For this, a rectangular piece is cut out of yellow corrugated paper. The size of this part is 9x30 cm.
• You need to wrap a candy in a yellow blank.
• The bottom of the formed tube will need to be fixed with a thread.

• The edges of the yellow paper must be carefully folded out.

Likewise, a master can make many small flowers with sweet surprises with his own hands. The finished composition can be decorated with large green paper leaves. Both sunflowers and leaves can be placed in a neat decorative box or wicker basket.

With their own hands, both experienced and novice papermakers can create creative paper flowers with other sweet surprises - lollipops. Such a craft will look very original and funny. At the same time, you do not need to allocate a lot of free time to make it.

To create such an interesting composition you will need:

• 7 lollipops;
• 7 wooden skewers;
• green and yellow corrugated paper;
• glue (in this case, it is better to use a heat gun or silicone composition);
• wire with a diameter of about 0.5 mm;
• tape tape;
• threads;
• narrow tape;
• scissors and ruler.

Let's find out how to correctly create a beautiful craft from paper and chupa-chups.

• A stick of sweet caramel must be combined with a wooden skewer. The area with the joint should be fixed with a strip of tape.
• Further, from the chupa-chups, you need to form a rounded center of flowers. The candies need to be fixed with tape, connecting the "legs" into one bunch.
• Now you need to cut 2 rectangular pieces from yellow corrugated paper. The sides of these parts should be 10 and 18 cm. The sweet element will need to be placed horizontally, and narrow pointed petals should be cut along the entire length of the yellow part.
• The petals will need to be carefully stretched.
• Now the details with petals will need to be wrapped around the middle one by one. The base of the paper components should completely cover the joint between the plastic stick and the wood skewer. All parts can be fixed with thread or glue. The petals must be twisted inward.
• At the next stage, the master will need to cut from 16 to 20 rectangles with sides of 9 and 4 cm from yellow crepe paper. From these bases, sharp petals should be formed with scissors. The upper details are gently stretched 2/3 of the petal to create additional volume.
• Then you need to grease the lower third of the petals with glue and lay out the first row, consisting of 8 petals.
• The details of the second row must be glued in the areas between the petals of the first row.

• The next step is to do the taping of the flower base, as well as the upper half of the stem.For these operations, the master can use a narrow piece of green corrugated paper, or a special floral ribbon.
• It will be necessary to form a leaf for the future sweet sunflower. To do this, cut out a rectangular green part with sides of 12 and 15 cm. The workpiece is cut along a diagonal line. Hot glue is applied to the edge along the entire length of the longest side of one of the triangles. A piece of wire is applied to the treated area, the length of which is about 30 cm. On the upper half, the hypotenuse of the second formed triangle of green paper is applied with a slight overlap.
• Using sharp scissors, the craftsman will need to give the resulting paper part the correct shape of a neat leaf.
• The finished leafy component will need to be carefully woven into the overall sweet-floral composition. After this stage, the master will only have to complete the process of taping the rest of the base.

There are many more interesting and original ideas for creating beautiful paper sunflowers with various fillings. Not only candies and lollipops, but also nuts are suitable for the role of the latter. Bouquets made using your favorite nuts look especially original and are easy to make.

To model a spectacular bouquet of sunflowers with nuts with your own hands, you will need the following components:

• At the first stage, the master will need to cut 3 strips from paper, the width of which will be 2 cm. From the segments of yellow and green shades, it will be necessary to carefully form the details in the form of petals. The brown material should be cut into a fringe on one side.
• Now the selected nuts will need to be placed in a small piece of foil. The details are twisted like a bag and secured with wire.
• Next, you need to glue a paper piece made in brown to the formed component with nuts. After that, 3 turns of yellow petals are made, as well as 2 rows of green components.
• The stalk of the future sunflower will need to be thoroughly coated with glue. After that, the prepared base must be wrapped with green crepe paper. Thus, the master will be able to make several original sunny flowers at once in order to collect them into one elegant bunch.
