Create beautiful paper flowers

Paper flowers only at first glance may seem too primitive and simple decoration. Masters of their craft manage to create so neat and elegant decorative compositions that the language does not even turn to call them "crafts." Paper flowers can be voluminous or flat. They decorate walls, windows, shelves, countertops and even the ceiling. Depending on the splendor of the bouquet, some use as a permanent home decoration, and others - to create a festive atmosphere. The rich language of flowers also has its own characteristics. With the help of an artificial bouquet, it is easy to reveal subtle notes and half tones that will become part of the interior symphony in the house. Dive into the beautiful world of floral diversity and get acquainted with a number of step-by-step master classes on making stylish, unusual decor.

Paper Color Ideas

Paper flowers decorate the house. They are collected in bouquets, which are put in vases instead of real plants. These flowers do not require watering and care, perfect for those who are allergic to pollen. Among the disadvantages, only their predisposition to rapid burnout is noted, if the buds are placed under direct sunlight. A special role is given to floral decor on various festivals. You can use the finished composition for different purposes:

  • Artificial bouquet will be a luxurious and durable decor for March 8, a birthday, New Year. Instead of ordinary balls and rain, the tree is decorated with paper roses or lilies, thereby creating the illusion of flowering. So that a simple postcard does not look too beaten, it is decorated with a small composition of a pair of buds with sprigs of artificial greenery. And the application to the present itself becomes an original gift.
  • At the wedding in the banquet halls combine decor from natural and paper bouquets. Lush garlands are created from buds, they decorate stands in photo-zones, decorate windows, and napkin flowers are used for serving the festive table.
  • For interior decoration usually use original topiarii or wreaths on the door. By the way, with the help of such decor it is easy to mask the defects of the finish.
  • Paper flowers decorate even coffee tables. The lower bowl is filled with buds of different colors, and the top is covered with a glass lid-top.
  • For Valentine's Day, a heart made of paper red roses will be a great budget decoration. Artificial flowers can decorate the top of the cake of chocolate.
  • Paper flowers will be an important part of the gift photo album made using the scapbooking technique.

In recent years, huge flowers come into fashion, which are also called growth flowers. Usually they are used to decorate studios before photo shoots. Foamiran buds are more durable, but paper is more affordable and cheaper. The interiors use miniature bouquets. They are put in vases, baskets, bowls. A miniature sprout with a pair of buds, which is buried in a pot and sprinkled with moss on top, will look original.

    

About paper

Corrugated paper is considered the most popular type of paper for making flowers. It has the original texture and easily maintains the shape given to the master. Corrugated paper (crepe) is made using a special device through which the web is passed by turning the handle. At the exit, the material is decorated with specific "folds" - small "accordion". From ordinary (office) paper, coarser angular flowers are obtained. For example, almost everyone folded a simple origami tulip. A little less dense is considered newsprint and book paper. It is easier to work with it, but the inscriptions will have to be masked with paint, unless, of course, the book lines are part of the composition. Magazine paper for making flowers with large petals is better not to use at all. Glossy surface can not be painted with gouache or tempera, which will be noticeable on large parts. But small buds, collected from a colorful paper "fringe", will look bright and festive. Textured paper and embossed sheets are more suitable for the role of the background for a magnificent flower arrangement than for the manufacture of buds. Embossed inflorescences will look luscious, oversaturated with small details. Whatman craft paper is another type of material available. Due to the high strength of the sheets, the finished composition will not be as fragile as from corrugation. Paper is easy to paint. It is usually used to make roses.


    

From book pages

It is easy to make a whole bunch of beautiful roses from book, music sheets. For work you will need:

  • several pages of books;
  • paper tape;
  • PVA glue;
  • wire.

Oval petals of various sizes are cut out of paper, which are then twisted in a certain way and attached to the tip of the wire, previously wrapped with paper tape. To make the roses more interesting, the books are artificially aged, soaked with tea, coffee.

Chamomiles are made in much the same way. On a wide paper strip, notches of sufficient length are made to produce petals. The strip is twisted into a roll, the petals are bent to the sides and the whole structure is attached to the wire. A yellow button or paper circle is glued to the middle. A bouquet of three to five or more flowers placed in a vase.

    

From craft paper

For the work you need a curly scissors, which is cut off a strip with a width of at least three centimeters. On both sides of the strip, transverse incisions are made approximately to the middle, every three to four centimeters. The upper corners of the cuts are diagonally screwed onto the awl, the lower corners are glued together in the shape of a bowl. Then the strip twists into a tube, the petals bend back. The resulting flower can be sprinkled with varnish of glitter from a can, paint over the tips of the petals by hand.

If you cut out several figured flowers of various sizes from a crafting paper according to a pattern and fasten them in the middle with a glue or stapler, and paste a cardboard circle, a bead in the middle, you can get a believable bouquet of carnations, daffodils, asters.

Corrugated paper

For the manufacture of flowers is the best material - bright, thin, textured. To make them will require:

  • corrugation - red, yellow, blue, pink - for buds. Green corrugation - for leaves, stalks;
  • wire, floral sleeve for stalks;
  • scissors, sharp mock knife;
  • cardboard;
  • PVA glue;
  • fishing line, thread.

First, the cardboard templates of the petals are made and outlined on paper. For one flower you need five or six small petals, as many medium and large. They are cut in compliance with the texture of the corrugations. After going to the center of the bud of the five or eight twisted, glued together the petals, which should be slightly bent. The design is put on the wire, tied with a thread for strength, then the other petals are glued. A floral sleeve is put on the stem-wire, which is decorated with green corrugation, crepe fabric, from which leaves are made.

Master classes in making flowers

Needlewomen use a huge number of different techniques. They can be divided into two groups:

  • Origami. The buds are made of paper without the use of scissors, glue or other accessories.
  • Flowers are collected from various modules, which are fastened together with the help of threads or glue.
    Consider a series of phased workshops on the creation of original flower arrangements. For greater convenience, we divide the plants into groups according to the flowering season.

Bouquets of small flowers and inflorescences

There is an opinion that small inflorescences of wild flowers are more difficult to produce than large buds. In fact, work on both types of petals requires patience. Small inflorescences, as a rule, create a pattern, as if cloning individual parts. For example, the clover head is easy to assemble from a long paper tape, one edge of which has "triangles" cuts. These tiny stripes then need to be slightly fluffed and you get a field clover head. Lilies of the valley can be made flat or bulk. In the first case, resort to the technique of quilling. Each inflorescence is made of narrow white strips, which are wound on a special stick (replaced with a toothpick). Then, the resulting circle is crushed with fingers, giving it the desired shape, and the tips are slightly pulled, so that the craft looks like the original. Ready lilies of the valley inflorescences are glued to the legs. From corrugated paper more delicate inflorescences turn out. Each bud is made from a small piece of material. First, it is wrapped in a cup. Then gently pull and twist the tips of the petals out. In the center of the flower they stick a yellow center, made of the same corrugated paper. The composition is decorated with wide green leaves.
Fluffy, fluffy daisies can be created from plain colored paper. It will take two shades:

  • Yellow for the core;
  • Red, lilac, blue for petals.

   

   

The paper is cut into strips. On each make cuts, leaving a small "tape" of the base. Then the future buds are twisted so that the fluffy tips are outside. First, wrap the yellow center, and after lilac petals. The end of the strip is fixed with glue. You can use thread. Bottom in the buds threading wire stalks. Buttercup production will be more laborious. Their inflorescences have a complex color structure, so you have to choose a few shades that will be harmoniously combined. First, cut out a petal pattern from cardboard. It is much more convenient to work with a stencil, since there are a lot of components of the buttercup bud. Corrugated paper in dark green, light green, pale yellow, light and dark pink (crimson) shades cut out the petals. Each slightly stretched edges to get the shape of the cup. Then the inflorescence begins to collect in parts. You will need a foam ball. On it consistently stick petals. First, dark green, then light green, yellow, pale pink and complete a rich raspberry. Color gradation allows you to create a bud identical to the original. The outer petals are slightly wrapped. Four green leaves are glued to the base, forming a cup. The foam ball is pierced with wire, pre-wrapped with green crepe paper tape. Leaves are attached to the rod at a short distance from each other. Inflorescences of pansies are also collected on a petal. The main feature of these colors is in an unusual color. Two petals have a blue-purple color, another two or three - yellow with black veins. There are blue with red or orange-yellow pansies. It is best to use white crepe paper, which you have to paint yourself with gouache and apply the original pattern of inflorescences. Buds are harvested from petals, which are glued to the base. A twisted piece of crepe paper is suitable as a core.

Spring flowers

Spring flowers enliven the atmosphere and bring with them a feeling of freshness, solar heat, uplift the mood of the household. To make hyacinths, you will need regular office paper and napkins of bright colors. For fastening parts using glue. First, the paper is rolled up into a tube. It will become the stem of the future flower. The bottom of the tube is covered with green paper. Napkins cut into small squares. Each of them is crushed in such a way that the "shaggy" tips look outwards. The surface of the stem is covered with glue. With the help of the blunt end of the brush, which is put on a small square of napkins, they are pressed against the straw. Inflorescences have a very thick. Empty space on the stem should not be. For a full bouquet will need 3-5 of these flowers. They are best combined with wicker baskets and flower pots. Vases for such compositions are usually not suitable. Tulips and crocuses are made either using origami from one sheet or from crepe paper. In the second case, the buds will be more graceful and delicate. You can work in the same way as with buttercups. The main differences are the buds of tulips are larger, the cups of their petals are bent inward, only paper of one color is needed.

    
    
    
    

To work on the creation of daffodils will need crepe paper in three colors: green, white and yellow. A foam ball is used as the core. It is wrapped in a strip of yellow paper, from which a bud is formed. Then 5-7 white petals are glued to it from below. Their edges are slightly stretched and crushed to form a relief border. Even lower paste green sepal. The heads of tulips are fixed on wire stems. This bouquet will look original in a wicker basket or a homemade pot. It is easy to make from a cardboard box, a piece of foam, twigs of the same length and jute rope. The box is placed foam. Outside it is covered with glue. The sides are decorated with dense rows of branches arranged vertically. They are tied up with a jute rope with a flirty bow. Wire rods are inserted into the foam base. Snowdrops can be made from ordinary colored paper. The fluffy core is made from a strip of yellow color with a fringe. It is wound on a wire rod and secure the tip with glue. Petals are cut from a sheet of white or blue paper. As an oval pattern, you can use a teaspoon. Every detail is glued to the base of the future flower, as if wrapped around the core. Petals are staggered.

Summer flowers

Summer paper flowers are usually bright, juicy. In interior design, they are used to create a mood, to bring optimistic, lively notes to the atmosphere. For the manufacture of sunflowers need paper of four colors:

  • Brown and black for the core;
  • Bright yellow for petals;
  • Green for the stem and leaves.

First, create a core. Because of the rather large size, the paper will need a lot. Several strips of dark brown and black color are decorated with "fringe". Then they are twisted into a thick tube, which is tied in the middle with a black thread. The top of the need to fluff, giving it a volume. Petals with sharp tips cut out of yellow paper. They are consistently glued to the base. It is advisable to use three rows so that the sunflower is quite lush. For a similar pattern, cut out parts for the sepal from green paper. They are fixed under the yellow petals. Then from green paper glue the tube, which is put on the flower at the base, to disguise the part tied with thread. At the other end, the paper tube is crushed and glued to the stalk.

Peonies are created according to the principle of making buttercups or tulips. In the center of the ball placed from the foam. It is wrapped in soft pink crepe paper. On the blanks of the petals make cuts, giving them a heart shape. Then they are slightly pulled out to make cups with wavy edges. Petals are consistently glued to the base of the flower. Peonies, unlike tulips, have more “fluffy” buds. Because of this, the petals need to stick not so tightly to each other. Carnations are made according to a similar scheme. The only difference is the cuts that are applied to the tips of the petals to make them even more lush, like in real buds. Macs can be made according to the sunflower manufacturing algorithm. Their black fluffy core turns around 5-7 bright scarlet petals. To create field daisies you need white, green and yellow paper. The fluffy core of the flower is made of tightly rolled paper strip with a fringe. Petals are glued in two rows. To make the inflorescence look more realistic, some of them make cuts, as if giving shape to a heart. Callas - incredibly beautiful and delicate flowers. Making them yourself is pretty easy. The bud consists of an oblong core usually of a yellow color and one petal with a sharp tip, as if swirling around it.

Autumn flowers

Golden autumn has longed up many, despite all the splendor of colors of fading nature. The best recipe for raising the mood will be needlework. Making interior decorations will distract from sad thoughts and help develop their creative talents. Autumn flowers in the garden are the first heralds of the end of the summer season. However, the beauty they are not inferior to flowering spring or summer plants. Chrysanthemums and asters are made on the same principle. Both flowers have many delicate sharp petals. They can be made from strips of paper. On the one hand cut "triangular" fringe. Then the strips are twisted, and the tips are glued. The petals in the middle must be fluffed up, and the lower ones bend and wrap inside the inflorescence. Dahlia bud is performed by a more complex algorithm. Each petal is twisted like a funnel. A sheet of paper is cut into many squares. Каждый сворачивают конусом, как пакетик для семечек из газеты. Затем вырезают круглую основу из картона, к которой последовательно приклеивают лепестки. Пустых мест в бутоне остаться не должно.Such dahlias look great as part of the composition of a three-dimensional picture, which is placed in a frame and hung on the wall. The background can be draped with a thin cloth or covered with a piece of plain wallpaper.

We make the queen of flowers - a rose

Rose, perhaps the most beautiful flower of the entire floral fraternity. In most women, it remains a favorite plant, whose buds fascinate with grace and refinement. To make a delicate rose, you will need:

  • Wire for stalk;
  • Corrugated paper for petals of red, white or yellow color;
  • Glue gun;
  • Crepe paper for green leaves;
  • Polyfoam ball

The ball-based wrapped with a piece of red crepe paper, to leave the detail of the form of "spindle". Pre-cut petals begin to gradually stick to the base. To make the rose slightly blossoming, the tips of its extreme petals are slightly wrapped with a toothpick. Wire wrapped with green crepe paper. The sepal is glued to the rose from below, and then the rod is threaded into the foam ball.

For a more minimalistic product, only red color paper is required. Cut out a circle from A4 paper. It makes one long incision in a spiral. Then, the resulting strip is folded, slightly tied, and the "tail" is fixed with glue. A simple red rose is ready. From below, a green wire stem is glued to it (using wooly wire) and “planted” in a pot, sprinkled with soil or moss. Additionally, the bud is covered with artificial snow or glitter. Top composition is covered with a bowl of clear glass.

    

To make a velvet rose, use colored paper with a special coating. Its front side is difficult to distinguish from natural fabric. You can buy such paper in stationery stores.

Paper flowers with candy

A bunch of paper flowers can hide a large amount of sweets in each of the buds. It is easy to make such a tasty and beautiful gift with your own hands. Any flowers that have a dense middle will do. In the above-described master classes, a foam ball was usually used as a base. It is simply changed to a small candy, preferably round. To disguise the rectangular "Swallow" or "Little Squirrel", you will have to use a large amount of corrugated paper, and the bud itself will have impressive dimensions, with such and such a core. So that the wrappers tails the sweets do not interfere, they can be cut or glued with scotch to the candy itself. Be sure to have to take care of the strength of the stems. The wire must withstand extra weight so that the flowers do not lower the head downwards. If you give the composition to the mercy of the sweet tooth too sorry, the flowers decorate the cake, assembled from sweets.

Making large bulk colors for the holidays

As mentioned above, large growth flowers are usually used as decorations for photo zones. You can prepare props yourself. The easiest way to make a huge chrysanthemum, which is suspended from the ceiling on the strings. You will need a sheet of colored paper in A2 or A1 format (depending on the required size of the finished flower). It must be shirred, that is, folded with an accordion. Then the paper is tied in the middle with a string. The tips of the folded harmonica are cut in a semicircle to make it look like an ice cream stick. Now the petals of a huge flower can be dismissed by hands. They are drawn and evenly distributed throughout the bud. Bulk chrysanthemum ready. Flowers of slightly smaller sizes can be hung with a garland on the window. To make a blooming rose, a circle for the core and a multitude of petals are cut out of colored paper. At the base of each make an incision. The two “tails” are glued to each other, and the tip is turned outward to form a three-dimensional part. Petals are successively glued to the color wheel. Finishing work fixing a fluffy core. These flowers are suitable for interior decoration as a festive wall and even floor decor.

Making flowers using origami technique

Origami (oriki) is the Japanese art of folding paper pieces. There are three main techniques:

  • Simple origami. For work use one sheet of paper.
  • Modular. The composition is collected from several parts, which are folded separately.
  • "Wet" technique. Models are less rough and angular than traditional origami, due to the fact that the paper is pre-moistened.

    
    
    
    

The two most popular types of origami figures are animals and flowers. The most primitive example of the latter is the tulip. Another "related" technique for origami is considered kusudama. Flower bouquets are ball-shaped and consist of many identical parts that are sewn together.
Simple origami perfectly develops fine motor skills of hands, therefore the technique is often used to create children's applications with voluminous colors.

Lilies

For the manufacture of lilies you will need a simple or corrugated paper of several colors, acrylic paints, scissors, glue, wire, semolina. Cut six to seven pointed petals, one side of which gently straightened, twisted out. At the base of a thin brush dark spots are drawn. The petiolum is lined with green paper, a pistil is formed at its end, stamens, the tops of which are dipped in glue, then - in semolina, are painted. The design is going, the leaves are glued to the stalk, which are also slightly twisted.

    

Roses

Roses are made of corrugated, magazine, colored or white paper. Each petal is cut individually or from a single shaped strip. The design is twisted, all the details neatly straightened. Under the bottom of the product there are glued outer pointed green petals, the bud is put on the stem.

    

Peonies, chrysanthemums

Peonies are made quite large. To get a believable pinkish color, a food coloring is used. Petals of various sizes are cut in the form of rounded rectangles, ovals, narrowed at one end. Corrugation slightly stretch, rattle, giving the petals realistic. The bud is twisted from 20-26 petals.

For the manufacture of asters, chrysanthemums, and cornflower, one or several color strips are taken, on which cloves of the desired shape are cut. The core is twisted from the narrowest strip, the rest is fastened around.

    

Flower garland

Wall, ceiling garlands of small volumetric flowers decorate the festive interior. Flower buds without stalks are made by any of the above methods, and then strung on a thread, a fishing line. Garland should be combined in color, style with the rest of the room decorations.

    

Exclusive Wedding Bouquet

Flowers of the desired type are drawn on paper by hand or colored blanks are printed from the Internet and then cut out. Each bud is attached to the floristic wire. The required number of flowers is collected in a bouquet, their stems are twisted together with a floral ribbon, the tips are cropped. The resulting handle is wrapped with a silk, satin ribbon of suitable colors. You can tie a gorgeous bow.

    

Quilling

Flowers in the technique of quilling are made of narrow paper strips, screwed on a needle. From strips not less than five millimeters wide, and from ten centimeters long, rolls are twisted, which are slightly flattened to obtain an oval that is pointed at both ends. Details are placed in a circle on a plane, glued in a circle. The middle is made fringed - on strips two to three centimeters wide, transverse cuts are made, the paper is rolled into a roll, straightened, attached to the middle of the flower.

For the manufacture of a simple three-dimensional postcard colored paper is cut six to seven squares with a side of about ten centimeters. Each fold diagonally three times, draw a diamond-shaped petal, cut out, lay out. It turns out eight flower petal. Then draw hatching along the edge, closer to the middle, on six of eight petals. In each flower, one open petal is cut out, glued in the form of a cup. Then all the flowers are collected in a single design, glued with the back side to each other, a postcard.

    

Conclusion

Paper flowers, just like real ones, can express different emotions. Refined, exquisite lilies of the valley; rustic but beautiful in its laconic chamomile and pansies; exquisite roses; lush and elegant peonies - for each flower there is a connoisseur. Bouquets as a gift to pick up, focusing on the nature of the person. To make the composition look appropriate in the interior of the house, it is compared with the peculiarities of the stylistic design, color scheme and the general "mood" of the room.
