Corrugated paper tulips

Corrugated paper is often used to create various crafts. You can make a variety of greeting cards, flower bouquets, various compositions and even whole panels from this material with your own hands. Ease of use, large selection, low price - all this makes corrugated paper such a popular material. How to independently make tulips from such raw materials will be discussed in this article.

The main material for making various crafts is corrugated paper. Its main advantages include good elasticity, which contributes to the easy stretching of the canvas, twisting it.

Initially, the material was used exclusively as headwear lining. Now corrugated paper is chosen for creating all kinds of handicrafts, jewelry, and packaging compositions.

This material is divided into several types, differing in the size of the corrugation.

• Corrugated paper. This canvas has a large wave size. It is usually used as a packaging option.
• Crepe paper, it is distinguished by great decorativeness. Its base consists of small folds. This option is more suitable for creativity.

Corrugated paper can be successfully used in floristry, it is an excellent material for creating voluminous paintings, panels and other compositions, as well as decor for holidays, costumes, topiary. Ideal raw materials for sweet design and scrapbooking. Wonderful flower arrangements are made from such paper. When creating petals, a canvas is usually used, the density of which is 32 g / sq. m, stretch - more than 45%. Such material perfectly holds its shape, it is elastic, and will not tear when bent.

In addition to corrugated paper, other additional materials and tools will be useful in the work.

In this case, you cannot do without:

• scissors;
• rulers;
• PVA glue, glue gun and scotch tape;
• wooden skewers, cocktail tubes;
• disposable spoons;
• foil balls or sweets for sweet compositions.

Depending on the option chosen, the master may use other additional materials, decorative elements.

Various flowers can be made from corrugated paper, including tulips. A detailed master class with step-by-step recommendations will help make this process not only simple, but also fun.

To get tulips of an unusual curly appearance from corrugated paper, you should prepare the following.

• Crepe paper of different shades. In this case, the tulips will be yellow and lilac. It is these colors that are needed to create a composition. You also need to take green paper and a small piece of black paper.
• Tape tape.
• Glue.
• The base for the stem, it can be made from wooden skewers or hard wire.
• Scissors.
• Paper.

Let's describe the algorithm of actions.

• You need to take a sheet of paper, draw elements on it or print it on a printer.
• The required elements are cut out of the corrugated paper according to the template. To make one flower, you need to cut 6 purple petals, a middle (yellow), two green leaves, a fringe (black).
• After that, the middle is put on a skewer and fixed with glue. The tip of the stick is wrapped in a fringe.
• Next, the wide edges of the petals should be stretched a little - so that a wave is obtained. Roll up the narrow edge.
• At the next stage, these petals are glued to the stem.
• It remains to decorate the stem skewer, using green paper or special tape for this, then attach the leaves to it.

Further, similar to the described technique, several more buds are collected. Their color can be any, depending on the chosen idea. Both monochromatic flowers and bouquets of tulips of different shades will look good.

The buds will have the correct shape and will not deform if the correct paper is used in the work.

To prevent the flower from wrinkling, a ball of foil is often put in the middle of it.

To create a bouquet of tulips using a similar technique, you need to prepare:

• corrugated paper in red and green colors;
• wooden skewer;
• foil ball;
• glue gun;
• scissors.

You may also need threads, a ruler.

Getting started, you should free up the workplace and lay out the required tools.

First of all, you need to prepare blanks for creating a bouquet.

To do this, cut:

• red rectangles (6 pcs.), their size is 3 * 8 cm;
• sheet 3 * 10 cm red for a bud;
• two rectangular strips 4 * 16 cm to create leaves;
• a strip of 1.5 cm wide of green paper to form the stem.

The flowchart for making a tulip is described below.

• It is necessary to take a workpiece (3 * 10 cm) and twist it in the middle. Then wrap the ball in it - the middle, so that it is not visible. Tighten the lower part.

• Then you need to apply a little glue on a wooden skewer and insert the end into the bud. If desired, the lower part can be rewound with threads.

• After they begin to form flower petals from blanks (6 pcs.). To do this, using scissors, you need to round off the blanks in the upper part, narrow them down. In order for the petals to take the shape of a tulip, they are stretched slightly diagonally.

• You need to drop a little glue on each petal and glue them to the bud at the base in a checkerboard pattern.

It remains to form a stem with leaves. To do this, take a narrow green strip and stretch it slightly. Starting from the base, the workpiece is evenly wound in a spiral. For strength at the beginning of the process and at the end, it is better to fix the paper with glue.

The stem is supplemented with leaves. To create them, rectangular green blanks with a size of 16 * 4 cm are used. It is better to sharpen the ends with scissors, cut the edges on the sides. The blanks are stretched a little and attached to the stem, trying to keep their tips peeking out from behind the tulip. The attachment point is wrapped with a strip of paper.

An elegant bouquet of tulips can be presented to mom or grandmother on March 8, congratulate a friend or give it to a teacher at school.

Bouquets with sweets will look very interesting and rather unusual. Such a "suite" -composition will not only bring joy, but also come in handy for a sweet tooth.

Performing the steps step by step, you can make an original delicious bouquet.

• It is necessary to take a roll of corrugated paper and cut a strip about 5 cm wide. Its color can be any depending on the shade of the flower. After that, the strip is cut in half, then each part is folded again.

• Next, the strip at the place of its fold is collected in the form of an accordion and twisted. Then the halves should be bent together so that a depression forms in the middle. To create one flower, you need to make three identical boats.

• Next, proceed to the design of the edible part. Small candies with a wrapper folded on top are more suitable for this. It is necessary to unfold the candy a little, then put a skewer, cocktail tube or wire inside the wrapper and wrap the "tail", fixing it on top with tape.

• After that, the prepared petals need to be collected around the candy, placing them with their free edges down. Using a thread, tie the edges on the stem.

Now we should start making leaves for a tulip. They are made from a cut green strip. This strip, about 4 cm wide, must be divided into three parts and each shaped as a leaf.

A narrow strip of 1 cm is cut off from green corrugated paper and wrapped around the stem, starting from the bud and going down. A little below the bud, tulip leaves are fixed.

Having made one flower, they begin to create other buds. The result is an original sweet bouquet that will be a pleasant surprise for any holiday or celebration.

In order for corrugated paper tulips to keep their shape well, it is not at all necessary to use candies or foil balls in the work. You can make a beautiful bouquet with disposable spoons.

To create such a bouquet, you need to follow these steps.

• Prepare materials. To make one tulip, you need to take several disposable plastic spoons (5 pcs.), Five pieces of pink corrugated paper measuring 12 * 12 cm, green paper cuts 15 cm long and 7 cm wide.
• Then you need to take a disposable spoon and put it on the diagonal of the square, bending the top corner. After that, the loose ends need to be wrapped around the spoon.
• With the help of tape, two spoons are held together, giving them the shape of a bud. Then add the remaining petals by wrapping them with adhesive tape.

The bud is ready. You can start forming the stem. To do this, lay out blanks of green paper leaves on the table, doing it with an overlap. After that, they begin to wrap the stem in paper, trying to prevent the handles of the spoons from looking out, but to be hidden completely.

Having made the required number of buds, you can form a beautiful bouquet. It is allowed to decorate it with ribbons or paper, you can put it in a basket or flowerpot.

Corrugated paper tulips can also be presented in a box - you will find a master class in the next video.
