Flower elements carved from a dyed and starched cotton pad

In principle, a daffodil can be made in several ways, but whichever one you choose, remember that this flower has a rather peculiar core. Therefore, if you want to make the most realistic craft, then do it not from a yellow cardboard mug, but from pieces of corrugated paper.

In order to make the core, you will need to take a strip 5 millimeters wide and cut it into small pieces. And when your daffodil is ready, you will need to put a little glue in its center, and then carefully place shredded paper on it. As a result, you should get an airy and fluffy core.

Cotton pad dandelions

Cotton pad dandelions

Although such a craft seems very simple at first glance, there are still some nuances in its manufacture. Firstly, in this case it is best not to use standard colored paper to make the stem and leaves. If you want your dandelions to visually look like real ones, then this part of the craft is best cut out of corrugated paper.

Secondly, when fixing a cotton pad on a cardboard base, you must ensure that it is slightly wet. If it turns out that it is heavily saturated with glue, then you will not be able to fluff it even after it is completely dry. Therefore, it will be better if you apply glue to the disc pointwise.

So:

• Cut out the bottom of a dandelion from paper.
• Carefully glue it onto the cardboard base
• Apply glue to the disk and fix it on paper too
• Let it dry a little and then remove the top of the disc
• Lightly fluff the dandelion with your fingers

Yes, and it can just be a craft for an exhibition or competition.

Do-it-yourself flowers from cotton pads

Data step by step master classes intended for children of the senior preschool and younger school age, their parents, as well as educators kindergarten, teachers primary school and teachers of additional education.

Let's first consider, how to make a bouquet beautiful white callas.

Callas from cotton pads

This is a beautiful and very unusual tropical flower. People call it a white sail because it really looks like a sail. And it is also called female happiness. It is believed that if you give a lady such flowers, she will certainly be lucky in her personal life and long-awaited changes for the better.

For to make a bouquet of callas with our own hands, we will need the following materials and tools:

A step by step guide to making a bouquet

1. We start the work with take cotton pads and fold them in half.
2. Now we draw buds on them, such as these flowers should have (if you don’t know how they look, you can find photos on the Internet).
3. We take scissors and, according to the drawing, we cut out our calla buds from the disks.
4. Next to us need cotton swabs. Of these, we will make the core of the flowers.
5. Remove the cotton from one end of each stick.
6. The other end, on which the cotton wool remains, is dipped in yellow gouache.

Our blanks for the future bouquet of discs are ready.

Now let's take the preparation, made with your own hands from a cotton pad and wrap it around a cotton swab that acts as a stalk. We smear the edges of the disk with glue and connect with each other.

Wrap a cotton swab in plasticine Green colour.

Our bud is ready.

Now let's make leaves for flowers.

To do this, we need to arm ourselves with a stroke and black cardboard.

We draw calla leaves on cardboard with a stroke. Next, using green plasticine, color them. First, we take plasticine in our hands and warm it up. When it has become softer and more pliable, we smear the plasticine inside the contour of the sheet. It is best to start such manipulations from the edge of the leaf, so it will be more convenient to gradually stretch the plasticine towards the middle part.

Using a stack, we make veins on the leaves.

We take a stroke and draw on cardboard under the flowers pot. Color the soil with brown plasticine. Now we attach the buds already prepared before this to the foliage. If your stems turned out to be short, then you can lengthen them with green plasticine.

It remains to make a pot. For this we need white plasticine. We smear it over the silhouette of our pot. Now, as a decor, we fasten the beans.

Our craft is ready.

Now the final touch remains - to arrange the work in a frame.

Bouquet of snowdrops

You can make flowers from cotton pads with your own hands, which are the very first to bloom in spring - this is gentle and cute snowdrops. The principle of operation is similar to that described in the previous section.

Materials and tools

Getting started on the craft, you need first of all make a template, on which we will cut buds from cotton pads. To make them neat, you can find drawings or photos of snowdrops, print, cut and circle.

Flowers are ready. Now to us need to make stems. Just as in the case of callas, we make them from cotton buds, but our actions will be slightly different. At one end, the cotton wool should be removed. On the second - lift a little up. We wrap the stick itself with green plasticine.

We cut each bud in the middle part. In these cuts you need to insert the stems. To make our snowdrop strong, we glue green plasticine over the junction of the bud with the stem. That is, in other words, we make a pedicel.

The heart of a snowdrop should be blue. We decorate it with plasticine of the appropriate shade. Now we attach the leaves.

Next, we make a vase for the bouquet with our own hands. A round jar of cream is ideal for her role. Decorate the vase with a bow. To do this, glue a small ribbon around its circumference. We leave the ends free and tie a neat bow out of them. We attach a bead to it.

Glue plasticine to the bottom of our vase. We will insert our snowdrops into it.

When everything is ready, it remains only to put cotton wool in a vase under the flowers. So the impression of a snowdrift will be created snow through which our spring flowers break through. Now you can send our craft to the exhibition or give it as a gift.

We take a sheet of cardboard and glue our stems and leaves to it.

If you are afraid that you will not succeed neatly or you will cut off something superfluous, then draw ballpoint pen on the disks of the line, along which it will be convenient to cut the flowers.

As you know, daisies have a yellow center. So that our flowers also have this, we sculpt from yellow plasticine balls. We glue them to our buds.

At the end of the work, we attach the petals to the stems.

Our craft is ready.

We start the product with, which we glue to several (depending on how many flowers you plan to include in your bouquet) cotton skewers. An approximate photo of how to do this can be found on needlework sites.

Now spread a little glue on the edges of the disks and connect these edges. We will get a button similar to calla, but more closed.

Now take another cotton pad and glue it to the one attached to the skewer. As a result, we should have 6-7 cotton pads glued on top of each other in a checkerboard pattern.

To make the craft look like real roses, need to make sepals. This work is easy. We take corrugated green paper and cut out a figure resembling a fence from it.

Then we spread it with glue and wrap it around the bottom of our bud.

Next to us need to make a stem for a rose. To do this, take corrugated paper and cut a strip out of it. The strip should be narrow. We coat it with glue and wind it in a spiral onto a skewer. We also fix the tip with glue.

From the same corrugated paper cut out the leaves for our flowers. Cut them out and glue them to the stems.

The craft is ready.

The technique for making nylon flowers is quite simple, but you can create real floral masterpieces. For example, -phalaenopsis, which is not immediately possible to distinguish from the real one!) A wonderful element of decor for both home and office!

Wire flowers and nail polish

Another handy tool for creating wire flowers is regular nail polish.

It is better to use a fresh varnish of a more liquid consistency so that it flows from the brush.

The varnish is applied to the edges of the petals formed from the wire. After the first drying of the varnish, additional layers of the same color can be applied or, for example, topped with glitter varnish.

To prevent the varnish from dripping onto one side of the flower, secure the stem vertically in a dishwashing sponge.

Olga Lazarchuk reveals in her master class the features of making flowers in this way:

And ladybug sure to bring good luck!

If you do not have time to take care of ordinary flowers, then your window sill can decorate this one.

A comb with delicate flowers will be a worthy decoration for your hair:

Flowers made of wire and floss

Ganutel - a technique for making flowers from wire and.

To create such a flower you will need:

• wire
• floss in different colors
• scissors (nippers)
• pliers.

We make a spring out of wire: we wind a thin wire on a long rounded object, for example, a pen rod or a simple knitting needle.

From the resulting spring we form the petals and leaves of the flower. Next, on the resulting flower frame, we begin to wind floss threads in a certain order. We connect the resulting flower details!

More clearly, this process of creating flowers can be seen in the DIANA Bilohorka master class:

From hard wire and soft threads, you can even create such airy beauty!

Burlap flowers

Anyone can create flowers from an unusual material - burlap. This is a very popular pastime that is born for!

Beginners can start with the simplest, make a rose from burlap.

To do this, you will need the material itself - burlap, matching threads and a needle.

If you can use it carefully, then the needle and thread can be replaced with hot glue.

We cut off the burlap 4-5 cm wide, about 1 m long. Fold the resulting strip in half along the entire length and begin to twist the rosette.

YOU WILL USE

See the step-by-step process of folding a rose in this way in the master classes "Cross":

Burlap roses look very stylish! They can decorate various things in your home, for example, make such designer lamps ...

... or make such a wreath-decoration for the door:

There is a universal technique for creating flowers from burlap. In this case, the burlap is glued onto the finished frame of wire petals.

First, the burlap is coated with PVA glue.

After drying, the fabric will become firmer and more comfortable to take on any shape.

From the wire we prepare the frame of the petals for the flowers, we wrap the wire with colored adhesive tape.

The resulting petals are superimposed on the glued pieces of fabric and are again treated with glue from above.

The workpiece must be allowed to dry in this form for 1 day. Next, cut out the resulting petals along the contour of the wire so that the edges are perfectly even. We bend the cut elements of the flower in the right direction and form a flower.

Thread flowers

Flowers from pom-poms

Thread pom-poms are a great element for creating flowers! With their help, you can create a spring mimosa:

Or a bouquet of summer dandelions.

MASTER CLASS ON THE TOPIC

Anyone can make flowers from threads with their own hands - and even without a crochet hook and knitting needles!

It is clearly shown how and from what materials such flowers can be made in the master class by Natalya Melnik:

Master class on creating a solar dandelion

To make a dandelion, you will need threads of two colors.

We wind yellow threads on any hollow frame. Next, we sew the middle of the wound threads with the same threads and coat with PVA glue. We remove the frame, and tightly wind the threads on the middle of the workpiece, stitched and smeared with glue.

After the glue dries, cut the workpiece in half. We cut the yellow threads and straighten the resulting dandelion.

We make sepals from green threads.

We make the stem from wire wrapped in green threads.

A dandelion leaf can be crocheted.

Thread flowers can be made using the Tenerife loom (flower loom). Flowers are created by winding threads in a certain order on circle skewers. This process is very addictive and captivates not only adults, but also children. The resulting flowers can decorate clothes, hats, scarves and bags.

In work, you can use twine or jute of natural color, dyed or bleached.

Twine flowers…

...and jute

The process of weaving flowers can be seen in detail in the Povyazuli master class:

You can buy a Tenerife machine at a needlework store.

Or do the same with your own hands. The easiest option is to cut it out of cardboard

There is another option for a homemade machine. To create it, you will need cardboard, needles, compasses, glue and a large needle.

Cut out two circles from cardboard and glue them together.

The resulting circle is divided into equal parts. According to the lines we stick needles or pins:

We form the core of the flower according to:

After the "birth" of the flower, remove the cardboard base:

Good day to all. Since you are now reading my article, it means that you like to make various beautiful things with your own hands and you have come here for inspiration and new ideas. Well, what are we going to do? Today we will make roses from cotton pads.
For this we need:
- Cotton pads.
- Aluminum wire.
- Glue.
- Scissors.
- Green gouache.
- Brush.
- Hairspray.
Take the wire of the desired length and cotton pads. The length of the wire depends on how high you need the stem of the future flower. Cotton pads will need to be slightly torn, as shown in the photo. And wrap them around the wire. For reliability, we fix the ends of the cotton wool with glue. The stem is ready. If the stem turned out to be uneven in thickness, then there is nothing to worry about, because real flowers have irregular stems.

Let's put our stems aside for now. We take more cotton pads and cut leaves out of them. In fact, you can cut out the shape of the leaf at your discretion, I decided to cut out the simplest shape.

Now we paint the stems and leaves on both sides with green gouache. It is better to paint on a newspaper in order not to stain the table.

We leave to dry. As long as we have free time. You can make rosebuds. The flower can be collected on the stem, or separately, as it suits you. We take again cotton pads and glue. We roll the first disk with a tube and fix it with glue.

We take the second disk and glue it on top of the tube, without gluing the edges of the disk on top, then we will correct (straighten) them as needed. So we glue other disks until the rose reaches the desired size.

The bud is ready, you can stick it to the stem (if, of course, it is dry).

Then glue the leaves. You can glue the leaves along the entire trunk, but I wanted to glue them only at the bottom of the bud.

When the glue has dried well and all the details of the flower hold well, the flower is ready. From these roses you can create a beautiful flower arrangement that will decorate a room in your home.

As you can see, you can make flowers not only white. Using gouache, you can make flowers of any color. Yes, I almost forgot, I advise you to apply hair styling varnish to the painted places on the flower, thereby they will not be painted and the varnish will give them a little shine. Goodbye, see you again.
