Good afternoon, today I'm finally uploading large selection master classes on the theme of paper flowers. Here are the most interesting ways to make paper flowers. We will make a variety of flowers - flat and voluminous - from corrugated paper and from dense color. I will show each craft step by step in photos and give the most detailed instructions to each flower made in one way or another. And also ladies stencils- patterns of silhouettes of flowers. All the crafts I have collected are posted in order from simple to complex. First of all, we will take the MOST UNDERSTANDING techniques for folding paper flowers (those that are easy to understand and repeat ourselves) ... and gradually move on to MORE COMPLEX and painstaking instructions (to prefabricated detailed flowers and to the origami technique). I also uploaded a special article on different ways to make a paper rose - here is a link to it

As well as, for teachers (teachers and educators) I made an article with simple children's crafts FLOWERS that can be done in the classroom at school and kindergarten from paper and other materials:

I specifically decided to so big a selection of paper flowers in one place - so that you can immediately find a suitable flower assembly scheme for THE PAPER THAT YOU HAVE and for the task that you want to solve with the help of paper flowers (flower crafts as a gift for mom, decoration children's day birthday parties with voluminous flower arrangements, wedding decoration, decoration of postcards or gift bags).

The only thing that I did not include in the body of this article is ROSES FROM PAPER. I found ways to make a voluminous rose so much that I had to put these crafts in a separate article on the same site, it will be called "Paper roses - 20 ways to do it yourself."

But before proceeding to the master classes themselves, I want to make you fall in love with the very idea of ​​paper flowers. I want even random guests of this web page to itch their hands and light up their eyes. And I want to awaken in you delight and a burning desire to make a flower with your own hands. For this magic to arise ... so that your soul also spreads its petals and blooms ...

Let's see what piece of life the flower you made can decorate. Here are examples of how an ordinary table setting can become very beautiful and solemn with lush floral crafts.

Also, large paper flowers made of crepe or corrugated paper are used for decorative purposes. to decorate a celebration – wedding hall, children's birthday, incendiary party. They are mounted on the wall or on the backs of chairs, tied to window handles.

But such large flowers can be made from A4 paper (office size) or from a roll of corrugated crepe paper.

Photographers and photo studios also use voluminous large paper flowers as exclusive props for staged photos.

And you can also make such a large paper flower simply - as a gift for Mother's Day, or on March 8th. No one has ever given something like this to your mother. Will be remembered for a long time. And you can also take a picture of your mother right away with this flower - she will proudly post this photo on her page in the social network.

Ordinary plastic combs, rims and metal hairpins can also be decorated with voluminous paper flowers. So we'll get smart hair accessories for a wedding or party.

Miniature paper flowers can decorate postcards handmade , and other scrapbooking crafts (like these delicate crepe paper pansies).

Also, a handmade paper flower is the best gift box decoration. And not costly. Lush gift ribbon costs much more than a couple of sheets of colored or white office paper - a few scissors and now your paper orchid has blossomed on your packaging or the delicate pink color of wild rose hips.

And the flowers themselves can be great standalone gift. If you arrange your work in the form of a basket, or decorative panel(as in the photo with colored paper poppies).

If you learn how to make paper flowers with your own hands, you can use this talent in many areas of life. It will become simple and easy for you to decorate a hall for any holiday, decorate a home family celebration or beautifully decorate gifts for relatives and friends, or entertain neighbor kids by organizing interesting craft with a master class.

METHOD #1

Paper FLOWERS

Flowers made in this way, I decided to call "puffs", because their construction principle is the same as that of puff pastry. Thin layers of floral silhouettes overlap each other. And each layer is given convex volume(or faceted relief), and due to this, the flower looks lush and voluminous.

In the photo below we see step by step master class for beginners to create such a voluminous dahlia flower. It is the dahlia - not to be confused with the aster, the aster has narrower petals and each has a face (a embossed fold like on trousers).

So ... let's look carefully at the photo of the flower craft below. Here the trick is that they are cut from paper layer outlines- each circuit has six petals, and is different from its counterparts only in size. That is, the shape of the stencil is the same - only the size is different.

Before gluing, each cut paper arch silhouette in order to give it a natural form. We start gluing and assembling the paper dahlia from small middle layers to bigger and bigger ones.

Of course, you have a QUESTION:“And how to cut such even-sized petal circles-layers.

ANSWER: Here is the most simple and fast way to make such a flower with the hands of a novice master. It does not require searching for a stencil template, but allows you to get geometrically even petal details for yourself without any measuring instruments (compasses and rulers). paper flower.

1. We take a sheet of paper and glasses and glasses different radius. Draw them on a sheet of paper.
2. We cut out the resulting rounds, fold each round in four and in half again (as when cutting a snowflake). And on such a circle folded into a triangle we draw outlines of two petals (like a heart).
3. We cut this contour with scissors (see photo below) - deepen the cutout in the middle of the heart - unfold and get a petal layer.

Because we have circles different size- then we will get the petal layers different in size. We set the relief, put it together, add a yellow stamen-middle (we will talk about stamens a little lower).

Such a delicate flower can be strung on a wire (make a stalk) and give a paper bouquet for Mother's Day to your mother.

ANSWER: An ordinary round stick (pencil or pen, or knitting needle) can serve as a stamp for imprinting a relief on the petals. Here's how you can do it yourself, you can clearly see it in the photo craft of the flower below.

The flower assembly scheme is the same as the previous one (see step-by-step photos).

In the technique of PAPER Puff you can do different voluminous flowers(anemones, poppies, asters, dahlias, roses). Photo evidence below.

You see - the same "puff" method - but completely different flowers are obtained. And all due to the fact that silhouettes of paper petal layers DIFFERENT IN THEIR OUTLINES.

And do not forget that not only the contour (silhouette, petal shape) is important ... but the RELIEF of the petals is also important. It is the correctly set relief that turns flat outlines into living convex layers of the future flower.

For relief we need round sticks of various thicknesses (thin knitting needles, toothpicks, thick round-sided markers, felt-tip pens, spherical perfume caps, or lollipops). Any items that will help set the shape.

So that the relief fits neatly on thick paper- it may need to be slightly moistened before work (sprinkle from a pulverizer or hold on a wet towel). Try it and see how it works out better - dry or wet.

And here's to you ready-made templates paper puff flower. Flower stencils are already several sizes in size. Can right now put a sheet of paper on a glowing screen and trace with a pencil these silhouettes that appear from the screen on your sheet of paper (this is my favorite way copy the template without any printer - not every home has a printing device).

Also, you can resize any template using a computer mouse.

Look - in the photo below I give you a template silhouette. Silhouette only ONE size. Do you want this silhouette? different sizes- to make a multi-layer paper flower craft.

To change the size of this silhouette, you press with one hand on the keyboard buttonctrl, and while holding this button down, use your other hand to roll the mouse wheel back and forth. And from this action of yours, everything that is drawn on your screen now increases or decreases, depending on where you turn the wheel - away from you or towards you.

Here try it right now- press and twist. See how the stencil image below has resized? In this way you can adjust the template to any size right on the computer screen and circle it with a pencil on a piece of paper placed on the screen of your monitor. This is the fastest way to get the outline of any flower stencil at once in any size we need.

Here are curly templates for future paper flowers - and you can already change the size of the picture yourself. And you yourself can design and create any paper flower with your own hands.

And let's take a closer look at interesting additions to such puff colors.

How to make stamen

in puff paper colors.

Here is an interesting step-by-step lesson below where we see how a stamen for a multilayer paper flower is created in stages.

How to issue

large inflorescence

on one stem.

And I would like to show here one more smart and simple trick, which allows you to do whole inflorescence of flowers on one stem. In nature, such flowers are often found, where many cups of flowers nest in one place and have common central stem.

It is such a flower craft that will now demonstrate a step-by-step master class in the photo below.

1. We cut out from green thick paper (or cardboard) a shock of stems with a common round base. On this round base we glue double-sided tape.
2. We twist the tube from the newspaper and wrap it with green paper. We glue the tube-stem to the round base - twisting it around the stem.
3. We make flowers (from two red layers and one black stamen). We glue each flower on its stalk. We glue wide leaves to the central stem-leg. It turns out a very beautiful stem-bouquet of paper.

How to make a puff flower

WITH ASYMMETRIC petals.

But in the photo below we see from what layers the ORCHID paper flower is created with our own hands.

In a glass of water dilute a drop of green paint- we get light green water. We moisten the white details of the orchid with this water, they become white-green (exactly like in nature).

Further while the pale green petals are still wet, we apply lines of purple paint on them - the lines themselves are slightly blurred on wet paper - an uneven, blurry color is obtained (exactly like a real orchid).

The middle part of the orchid upper layer also make it green ... and along the very edge (right along the cut of the paper) we paint it in bright purple. Thus, when we lift this top layer up, the purple edges just stick out with their color upwards, imitating the position and color of the shaggy central orchid petals.

The same principle is used to create various asymmetric flowers-crafts. Let's remember what other flowers do not have circular symmetry in their calyx ... that's right, these are PANIES (photo below).

1. Lower layer of blue petals (only 2 pieces with a location on the upper side).
2. Then layer of blue petals (also 2 pieces splayed to the sides).
3. And the third top layer in the form just one white petal.
4. Then we smear the central part of the flower with yellow, draw the central lines with a pencil. From crumpled paper we make yellow balls of stamens (or from plasticine).

A simple DIY craft that even a child can do. The main thing is to prepare in advance the templates that the child will circle on colored paper.

Volumetric puff flower

from THIN paper.

We do such techniques as “different sizes of layers” and “work on folding the relief on paper petals” only when we use ordinary THICK COLOR PAPER

But if If you are making flower crafts from CREPE, CORRUGATED MINT PAPER, then you can not set the relief there. The very texture of the paper will make it fluffy bulk flower.

Furthermore, the corrugated structure of the paper allows you not even to bother with obtaining DIFFERENT-SIZED LAYERS. I.e all layers of the flower can be the same size. Here are the master classes on paper flowers below just clearly prove this.

See? All layers of the flower are the same size. We pierce the middle of the layers folded in half with a hole punch (or with a needle and thread, or fasten with a stapler). Unfold the flower and fluff its layers into a fluffy pompom. These are very beautiful large paper flowers.

This is perhaps the easiest and lightning fast way to make a flower with your own hands. It turns out big, lush, rich and expressive.

If we choose napkins of two colors - and apply them with alternating colors, we will get a play of halftones in each layer, and our flower will look like a rose.

You see, in the method below, we make identical silhouettes from napkins of two colors (in shape and size, like twin brothers). Under the bottom we put a piece of cardboard with two holes (like a button ... however, cardboard can be replaced with a button). And we thread the threads into the holes and pierce through all the layers of the napkin. We tie a knot in the middle of the flower - and fluff all the corrugated layers of crafts with our hands.

Think for yourself how you can diversify and complement this air-napkin flower. Can you add more border color- for this, cut out the napkin silhouettes a little bit along the edges with an office marker.

Turn on your imagination ... and let it show off plenty of napkins. No one has a shortage of tea in napkins. And suddenly you will give birth to your own author's flower.

And in the same way, red carnations are made. The same rounds with a serrated edge are also cut out of the napkin - and deep cuts into the petal parts. And then they simply overlap each other with a drop of glue in the center ... or instead of glue in the center, we pierce them with a stick (but it will be a stalk. Beautiful craft do-it-yourself flower for dad on February 23, or for grandfather's Victory Day.

And exactly on the same principle as cloves (on step by step lesson above) Lingeri terry daffodils are also made. Here they are in nature - lush and voluminous.

Spring paper flowers good gift mom on March 8th. And now you will learn how easy it is to make them with your own hands.

And here's how they can be made from dyed paper napkins. We put a stack of napkins on top of each other - fold it a quarter - in a triangle - cut off the edges with a jagged semicircle. We paint the top napkins in a bright yellow color, and the middle layers of napkins in a light yellow color, leave the bottom layer white.

Now about the material. Daffodils are gorgeous, you might say, but where do you get these paper colors (pale yellow and bright yellow)? Here, I tell you, there are 2 ways at once - 1) dye white paper napkins in 2 shades of yellow ... or 2) get a pale shade of yellow from bright yellow crepe crepe paper.

INSTRUCTION №1. How to dye a white paper napkin.

ANSWER: We paint the napkin in a straightened form - tinted water. We paint in a glass of water and pour it on a straightened napkin. We are waiting for the natural drying of the napkin (about a day).

INSTRUCTION №2. How to make light yellow from bright yellow crepe paper.

ANSWER: We take crepe yellow paper - put it on a wet towel - put a dry white napkin on top. We iron it with an iron - bright crepe paper gives off its moisture to a dry napkin, and together with moisture it partially gives off color. And we get already PALE YELLOW crepe paper. Thus, we can change the shades of crepe corrugated paper.

As you can see, everything is solved - if you turn on your head and think ... and try to experiment. Knowledge often comes by experience (even if this path is a mess). One failed experience can be the source of several ideas at once. I somehow wet the crepe paper, ruined the craft - but I saw that when wetting the crepe paper loses its color. And once I spilled some water for washing brushes on paper napkin- and she dyed in a gentle even color. So out of two jambs - I got 2 color changes for delicate and thin paper textures.

Well, it was all just about the FIRST METHOD of making paper flowers with your own hands. I deliberately made this first chapter of our article so detailed and detailed so that you immediately understand a simple and important truth:

Even one the only way can have MULTIPLE CONTINUATIONS… numerous options… endless designs. And you yourself can become an author - and create your own paper flower, made all in the same way of “curly layers superimposed on each other ».

And now let's look at the next way to make flowers from colored paper with your own hands.

METHOD #2

paper flowers

TWISTED IN A TUBE.

We have been familiar with this method of creating flowers since childhood. We all made classic flower crafts at school or kindergarten. by February 23 - red carnations from crumpled crepe paper. They twisted a strip of paper around a toothpick, wrapped the twist with a piece of green paper and fluffed the bunch-panicle of the flower.

And it never occurred to us that inside this primitive method there is a recipe for not only a modest carnation.

This method " twisting crepe paper into a roll» can give birth to completely different voluminous and flat flowers. It all depends on how we changed the SHAPE OF THE EDGE OF THE PAPER STRIP. Depending on its pattern, we will get paper flowers that are completely different in design.

Here is photo proof. See?

Different edge gives different flowers- disheveled aster, neat chamomile, chrysanthemums. Even roses can be made in this way (but roses will be discussed in a separate article - in detail and in detail, as befits a queen of flowers).

And not only from soft corrugated (crepe) paper you can make craft flowers using this ROLL technique.

Here you are in the photo below - an example of paper flowers in the same roll-up technique FROM ORDINARY THICK COLOR PAPER (office double-sided colored paper).

Here is a simple job and very simple instructions.

1. A narrow strip of paper was wound onto a thin rod (or toothpick) (to make the middle of the flower).
2. And then a winding of a wider tape, already cut along the edge into strips-petals, was added to this rolled middle.
3. And the petals are folded to the side - like an umbrella-spread.

AND IF THIS SIMPLE TWISTING TECHNIQUE IS ADDED TO THE EXPERIMENT, YOU CAN GET NEW PAPER FLOWER DESIGNS.

For example, what if... these petals are not just bent to the sides with a flat spreading chamomile, but slightly twist the tip of each petal inward (as we cover curls in the morning) - and we will get a voluminous lush ASTRA.

And what if ... make a strip for twisting with DIFFERENT WIDTH AREAS. We see the result of this plan in the photo diagram below.

1. A narrow strip (1 cm wide) for the middle stamen (we wind it into a tight roll on a toothpick).
2. Next, on this roll we wind an already petal strip (with an edge cut into a fringe) 2 centimeters wide.
3. And then we wind a petal strip 2.5 cm wide ...
4. and then a petal strip 3 cm wide.

And thanks to the different widths of the strips, we get a flower-roll in which the height of the petals increases from the center to the edges.

As you can see, in this simple roll technique, you can and should do EXPERIMENTS. Let's continue to encourage our inquisitiveness of the mind and decide on one more dashing idea ...

WHAT IF, cut the fringe not straight, but OBSOLUTE. And what if ... this oblique fringe is not cut along the edge CUT, and along the edge of the BEND (that is, bend the strip in half along the entire length, and cut this fold line obliquely into a fringe, and then twist it in this form.

We see the result in the photo below - an amazing aster with spirally twisting carved perforated petals. A beautiful flower craft looks like a difficult job, but making it with your own hands is simple and fast.

Such shaggy flowers with slanting petals can be used as a shaggy stamen for other flowers.

Here's how, for example, in this master class in the photo below. See?

There, too, a bent strip is cut along the OBLIQUE FRINGE ... and an orange shaggy stamen is formed - needed to decorate the center of the paper aster.

By the way, the paper aster itself from the photo below is made very original in its simplicity.

1. The base of the aster is puffs (a multi-beam star with cut rays).
2. Each beam in the puff is bent with a slate ruler into a sharp arrow (as on trousers).
3. The layers are superimposed on each other - we get lush flower.

And just the stamen inside this voluminous flower is made using the OBLIQUE FRINGE technique, which we just talked about.

This roll technique can be combine with a regular petal puff (Method # 1 from this article).. Yes - you can - because it occurs in nature. God Himself once came to this idea - and created the flowers of TIGAGE. And we will embody this method of combining a roll and a puff on paper. (See how it is done in the infographic below).

In roll technology the fluffy center of the flower is performed. And in the "Puff" technique»The lower petal part of the marigold flower is made of paper (patterns with five-leaf silhouettes). Photo instructions for assembling the flower below.

And here is the rosehip flower - where the middle stamen is also combined using the roll twist technique and 2 petal layers. By the way, they can also be made in large sheets of A4 format and pasted on the wall - and your living room will be transformed. Buy a pack of red office paper at the stationery and play interior designer. All the neighbors will come running to gasp with delight.

And here is a flower craft where the roll technique is also used to create a fluffy stamen panicle, and the side petals are simply glued separately to the lower layers of a lush stamen panicle.

It turns out large flowers-sunflowers from crepe paper.

In a similar technique ROLL-BUNCH + INDIVIDUAL PETALS, a do-it-yourself narcissus flower is also made.

But these flowers are WHETHER LILAC, OR SALVIIA - with a long stem of inflorescences, also made in a roll technique.

Yes, yes, this is also a common roll technique, with the only difference being that the strip of paper is not folded into a tube, but wrapped around spiral roll around a long stick.

Here is a master class of this lush paper flower in the photo below.

1. A wide strip of crepe (corrugated) paper cut into long fringes.
2. We wrap the fringes on a toothpick(or a knitting needle) - and we get curls along one edge of the tape.
3. We take a long wooden skewer and wrap our paper tape with curly fringe around it - wrapping begins from the top end of the wooden skewer and spiral down.
4. Doing under the flower green winding stalk-skewers and glue wide green leaves to this stem.

paper rose flowers

ROLLING method.

In roll technology, you can quickly roll a paper rose. We will have a separate article on paper roses. But I will give two master classes right here - because they affect the roll technique for creating flowers.

Here is the first step by step paper rose tutorial. Thick paper is used here, and in order for the petal parts to have the geometry of broken rose petals, you need this dense paper strip, in the process of rolling into a roll, KIND AND TWIST around itself.

And don't pay attention to those centimeters… just take the very essence this instruction. Cut off a strip of paper from the draft and try to twist it into a rosette, just bending the strip as God puts it on your soul - the paper itself will tell you where to bend and turn it.

Many other options to make a paper rose from different types papers can be found in the article

And here's another way roll up the roll of paper so that it looks like a rose. For such a roll we need paper strip NOT STRAIGHT FORM, but make a strip of paper IN THE FORM OF A SPIRAL.

For this it is enough draw a snail on a piece of cardboard(the curve is uneven, no matter which one). This drawn spiral will be the template for our paper flower.

Now this spiral line need to cut and then start twisting the roll NOT FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE SPIRAL ... but vice versa FROM ITS EDGE. And in our hands a paper rose will appear by itself.

My advice, do not take polished slippery glossy paper for such crafts - roses- such an elastic rose will strive to turn around or the circles of the spiral will slip out of the flower bed. It is better to choose rough paper or not very thick cardboard - this way the rose will keep its shape better.

paper flowers

Method number 3

In the POMPON technique.

And here's an even faster way to create a fluffy three-dimensional flower. It is made using the "pompom" technique - from corrugated crepe paper.

This technique is good because it allows you to make large paper flowers very quickly - as crepe paper is sold in large rolls (like wallpaper). And each roll can turn into a large flower for holiday decoration.

The master class in the photo below shows how to make such a lush paper flower with your own hands. We fold a wide (20 cm wide tape) several times to get a layering in many layers. We cut the folded ribbon into a fringe FROM TWO EDGES, leave the middle intact.

We fluff the fringe of the flower in all directions - achieving the shape of a perfect circle. And we decorate the central part of the flower with a lump of black paper - and we get the similarity of a flower with a disheveled poppy.

As you understand, the height of the petals depends on the length of the fringe. And the shape of the petals depends on the shape of the fringe.

Below (paper flower tutorial) we make anemones using exactly the same pom-pom technique. The difference is that we slightly changed the shape of the fringe - it's not even a fringe cut at all, but just a beautiful curly petal edge of the napkin.

As a result, the fluffy flower no longer becomes a poppy - but a delicate anemone made of paper.

And you can completely do not change the shape of the edge- that is, in general, do not incise or fringe it in any way. Leave it flat, as it is with a napkin. Just lightly paint over with a marker.

And in the same pompom technique we make a carnation flower with our own hands. They pinched it with wire, folded it in half - fluffed it up and got a carnation on a wire leg.

It remains to add elements from green paper - receptacle(wrap a toothed roll around the flower bowl), stalk(a long green strip for wrapping the flower stem), leaves (glue long oval to the stem).

And you can also make such a pom-pom flower two-color with a center of a different color (see photo below). To do this, we need paper strips of two colors - one wide (yellow), and the second 2 times narrower (black).

We prepare the strips - first we cut a wide strip into a double-sided fringe (or a patterned edge, also on both sides), then we make patterned edges from two on a narrow strip.

To make a patterned petal edge- you need to fold the strip into an accordion (as fans were made in childhood) and on both sides of this folded fan we make a rounding with scissors.

Then unfold the strips and put a narrow black strip in the middle of the wide yellow stripe. We fold them again with an accordion (already two-color).

We tie up the twine or wire. And we turn the sides of the fan in a circle - a flower is formed. If desired, the center of the flower can be decorated with crumpled paper or threaded fringe, glued between the blades of the black center.

And here is a master class, which shows how to make a paper pom-pom flower WITH A FRINGE-STAMEN with your own hands (photo-instruction below).

The principle of creating this flower from paper of two colors is the same as in the previous master class. Only here the middle strip is shredded on both sides into a small fringe. This is another way to make large crepe paper flowers.

Method number 4

paper flowers

Twisted on a ball.

And here is another way to create flowers from crepe paper.

To make such paper flowers, you need wide short strips of crepe paper and balls of different sizes (chupa-chups, balls). We put the ball on the strip and hug the ball from both sides with the strip - we twist the tails-tips of the strip into a tight flagellum. Carefully take out the ball, trying not to crush the inflated petal pattern. We make several of these petals and collect them into a lush flower.

By the same principle, rounded crocus petals are made from corrugated paper (photo below). Here you need a paper strip already longer - it is placed on the ball with one of its halves. The other half is twisted at the top of the ball and goes back behind the back of the ball and lies on top of its first half. It turns out a rounded petal.

If you fold such petals close to each other, you get a cup of a closed crocus flower (as in the photo below). Excellent hand-made flowers for March 8 for mom.

A lot of bouquets can be made from crepe corrugated paper. Including candy bouquets.

Method number 5

FLOWERS from paper

In ORIGAMI technique.

And now we will talk about folding flowers out of paper - without any cutting with scissors. That is about the art of origami.

The first model is flowers with conical petals. That's how handsome they are. Each petal of such a flower is made from a simple square of paper. In simple origami technique.

All the finished petals are glued to each other - and in the center of the gluing we put a beautiful rhinestone-pebble.

Such craft flowers are very simple and quick to make yourself - and they look very elegant on gift box. They can even decorate a Christmas tree.

As soon as you pick up a square of paper and look at the master class below, you will immediately make the same petal. It's very simple - you start doing it and you understand everything along the way. And you are surprised that this is not taught in kindergarten - everything is so simple and accessible to an ordinary person. After the 10th module, when the whole flower scheme has already been absorbed into your subconscious, your hands are already doing everything almost blindly - on the machine.

If you take a roll of plain wallpaper as paper and cut it into large squares, you can get large-sized flowers to decorate a hall or decorate a home celebration.

And also due to the fact that these flowers have the shape of a CONE - it is convenient to collect them in one common large ball. And use it as a pendant. Or as a crown for an ornamental tree (usually used to decorate weddings).

And here is a master class of a large water lily and paper folding technique without cutting.

And here interesting way where the petals-modules are made separately, and then each module is not glued, but simply inserted into the grooves of the neighboring module.

These do-it-yourself paper flowers can be a great craft for any occasion. You can now make paper flowers in different techniques and teach it to children. You can use these ideas to decorate a holiday or to practice in the Handy Hands club. Such flowers are suitable as crafts for the Spring contest at school or kindergarten. Or these flowers can be a gift for the day of March 8 for mom - a bouquet of paper flowers made by yourself.
Many simple ideas for children's crafts on the theme of flowers you will find in our other articles:

Good luck with your crafts.

universal choice gift ideas for any occasion and occasion. Surprise your friends and loved ones! ;)

Greetings, dear readers and visitors! I have repeatedly written that I love decorating gifts in the most unexpected ways. And today I suggest you make paper flowers with your own hands. Already twenty-odd methods, by the way.

Now, unfortunately, I rarely get to mass gift wrapping. Moreover, every year there are more and more acquaintances and friends who should be congratulated along with relatives. It's very joyful! I love giving presents. But if I choose them very carefully, I pack them in Lately in organza bags, since I decide on detailed packaging only for single holidays (like a birthday).

However, my passion for various kinds of packaging beauty is difficult to overcome, so today I will train with you to make beautiful flowers according to step-by-step schemes.

DIY paper flowers: simple and with a twist

There will be a lot of master classes, get ready. Good news for all rose lovers: there will be 4 of them.

Aster

Guys, honestly, I'm not very strong in the names of colors. So if you see a clear discrepancy for you - write in the comments.

So, the first in line is the aster. For her, cut out five circles: two large, two medium and one very small. Fold each circle in half three times, then draw the edge as in the 4th photo. After unfolding the design, squeeze each petal to add volume. Fold all the circles into each other and decorate the middle.

Almost calendula

This flower is much more like a packing bow. Prepare for it a square of paper of the desired length and cut the edges according to step 2. You will need several such blanks. Lay them one on top of the other and squeeze in the center, tightening with wire or thread.

Now the most important thing is to straighten the petals so that you get a beautiful likeness of a flower. Accordingly, the more layers, the more petals and the more magnificent the flower in the end.

Tip: make several of these flowers of different sizes and glue them on the packaging next to each other, then you get a beautiful semblance of a bouquet.

Calla

To create calla lilies, you can use both ordinary double-sided paper and foamed rubber (here I wrote what it is - in the section about the minion).

For calla, take a stamen (you can crumple it out of paper, go make it out of polymer clay) and a heart-shaped petal. Insert the stamen into the petal, fold the edges of the petal over the stamen, gluing them together. It remains only to unscrew the edges to get the maximum resemblance to calla lilies.

Such flowers are well suited for postcards, packaging, and as an independent gift in the form of a bouquet.

Bell

The master class for the bell is quite simple and understandable. Cut out the blank according to the first photo. Glue the edges of it, and gently straighten the ends. To make everything look natural, make the middle of several oblong stamens that will need to be glued inside the flower.

Of these bells, by the way, it will be great to decorate the packaging for March 8 or just a spring birthday.

lilies of the valley

Well, or something similar. For one flower, take a long rectangle and bend the edge of it, as in the photo. Cut the wide part so that you get a lot of small strips. Using scissors, twist the strips (to do this, you just need to run the sharp side of the scissors along these strips, slightly pressing the blade against them).

To prevent the flower from falling apart, take a rod on which you wind a green strip. Then, from above, begin to gently twist the “flower” part, previously smeared with glue. Apply layers tightly so that greenery does not show through from under them.

But it’s not at all difficult to make green leaves - for them, just fold a rectangle of green paper with an accordion and cut the edges with a “triangle”. When unfolded, you will get a lot of green leaves ready to be glued to the base.

Poppy

Now let's use corrugated paper. Cut out about ten teardrop-shaped petals from it. Stretch the wide part so that the blanks resemble mushrooms.

Take a thin wire and wind some paper around it - this will be the core. Wind the petals onto this core so that each slightly overlaps the previous one. When everything is ready, the structure can be pulled down below so that it does not fall apart.

The master class shows how this flower can be attached to a festive cap, but, believe me, gift box poppy will look great.

Red flower

What kind of species does he have? No associations came to mind. But this is not the point - to create it, you will need about ten petals (corrugated paper is used, by the way). Their shape is almost drop-shaped. but with a cut end.

Cut out a base circle from thick cardboard. Glue all the petals in layers to this circle, slightly crumpling (doubting? God, how right: _D) the bases, thus forming folds - then the flower will be more voluminous and “fluffy”. Decorate the center with some button or bead.

Such a flower, by the way, will look great from soft felt- so it will gain durability. And if you attach the base for the brooch at the back, you get two in one - a gift decoration and a gift itself.

Extravaganza of color

There are only two flowers, but due to bright combinations, it turns out very unusual effect. Take the crepe paper again, cut out a circle and fold it into a chrysalis shape. Cut a “skirt” to it, which you wrap around the chrysalis. Attach the petals on top, gluing them in a circle. Glue two wide leaves at the base.

The second flower is quite simple - cut the fringe and twist it into several layers. Flowers are very simple, they can make a very interesting gift arrangement.

Unseen flower

To prepare the basis for this flower, I advise you to look here - here the basis for the second Christmas tree is created in the same way. But then the differences begin - each of the corners must be wrapped with a thick wire or knitting needle so that a spiral is obtained.

You can leave this design alone, but I suggest you connect several (say, three) pieces using the existing spirals - the wow effect is provided. Then you can also experiment - combine elements with spirals into unprecedented designs.

Tip: going to a party in Japanese style? Then make such a flower very big size and take it with you - it will serve as an excellent decoration for the chandelier.

Pion

“Pio-, pio-, peonies are given by a new acquaintance ...” - the words from the song of the underground group “My Michelle” (I often listen to it lately, inspired). We will make crafts from corrugated paper. You will need five sizes of petals, approximately five copies of each ( appearance as in the photo).

Stretch the petals so that you get a semblance of a wave (for both large and small ones). Then form a stamen from the same corrugated paper by folding the paper with further compaction. You can do this on a wire skewer, or you can do it without it.

Glue the petals onto the finished stamen, overlapping each subsequent previous one. Do not tighten the petal too much. At the end, it remains only to cut the green leaves and stick them around the peony.

4 in 1: dandelion, carnation, aster, chamomile

All these wonderful creations of nature are made according to the same principle - cutting the edge of the strip from which the flower will be made. The final shape of the flower also depends on the shape of the cut. Keep in mind that some require a core, while others do not.

Please note: despite the very simple design, the flowers are very realistic. If there is very little time for production, then this is an ideal option.

Experiment and discover your unprecedented plants - be sure to tell us what happened.

paper roses

Magic roses are one of my favorite flowers.

Rose with twisted edge

The main difficulty here is to carefully twist the edge of the corrugated paper, straightening the folds. Then make sure that the folds are even. Now twist the strip so that the layers fit snugly together. At the end, fasten with a thread, cut off the excess.

simple rosette

Need to make a plant in five minutes? Then this rose is for you! Just cut out a circle in which draw a spiral. Cut out a spiral like in the photo and twist the rose starting from the longest link of the spiral (the central part will serve as the base).

big rose

Even gigantic, if you follow just such dimensions. Heart petals are stretched and superimposed on each other in a circle with fixing with glue. Green petals are attached at the end. Of course, the flower does not have to be as big as in the photo - start from your preferences.

Twisted paper rose

Once I already described this way of creating a rose (here is the second one). The principle is exactly the same, but the dimensions of the triangles resulting from twisting must be the same along the entire length of the tape, otherwise there will be a not very neat flower.

Once she even made a Rosemary doll, which took part in the city exhibition. Her whole body was covered with roses, made just in this way (the roses were from ribbons, really).

Clover

I will only show you how to make the base for a four leaf clover. To do this, take a square of paper and fold it in half lengthwise and in half again. Bend the ends to the center. Cut out a heart from the resulting design. The result will be exactly what we wanted - a happy flower.

Nameless

As much as I puffed up, I could not give an intelligible name. As a result, Tovariz remained just a beautiful flower, reminiscent of kanzashi motifs ( Japanese art production of jewelry from satin ribbons).

The beginning here is the same as in clover. But after bending the edges, it will be necessary to bend the ends so that the length of the bent part is equal to the length of the visible side in the middle. Then these parts are straightened and their edges are already bent so that the sides are even. They are again bent and glued so that three stamens are obtained. There should be three such petals.

Most of all, such a flower is suitable for decorating a gift in the Japanese style.

And again aster

This time, you already need to glue the petals around the edge until you reach the desired volume. Decorate the center as you wish, or simply fill it with as many petals as possible.

On this large flower review, I declare it closed. I hope you have found exactly the option that will help you decorate the best gift. See you soon, subscribe and share with your friends!

Corrugated Paper Flowers

We cut out 3 circles from red crepe paper, put them on top of each other, then fold them into a cone, fasten them with a stapler approximately in the middle. Then we twist it halfway and straighten the petals. We fasten it to a skewer, which we wrap with green crepe paper. Glue the leaves. A simple rose is ready.

Making a flower with a lollipop

Using a small ball (we took a lollipop), you can get a fantasy flower with very lush petals that will keep their shape, but it is advisable to grease the ends with PVA glue so that they do not unwind.

We cut out 5 squares from corrugated paper and wrap them around the lollipop to make the “tail” longer on one side than on the other.

For the core, we fold a strip of red crepe paper several times, cut the ends - these are “stamens”.

We put the core between the long tips of the petals, we wind everything to the stick-stalk. We wrap the stem with a strip of green corrugated paper.

It turns out such an original flower with lush petals.

snowdrops

Corrugated paper flowers with candies

Corrugated paper makes excellent

The easiest children's option corrugated paper tulips with sweets. On March 8, we decided to make tulips for our teachers, because these are the most spring flowers. Truffles were chosen from sweets, and we decided to try to make stems without skewers. For this we needed:

• heavy double-sided green paper,
• red crepe paper
• red thread,
• glue (stationery or PVA),
• as well as packing tape for flowers and ribbon(the bouquet should look like a real one).

For the stems, green paper was cut into strips and twisted into spirals.

Petals cut out of red crepe paper elongated shape, pointed on one side, six pieces for each flower. With your fingers, gently part the fibers in the middle of the petal so that it turns out to be slightly convex.

The candy was inserted into the spiral stem, twisted tightly and glued.

Then they wrapped the candy with petals, as in a real tulip - three inside and three outside. In order not to mess around with glue (such thin paper melts under liquid glue), they simply tied it with a red thread to match the paper.

Leaves were cut out of green paper, similar in shape to long tulip leaves, glued to the bottom of the stalk.

Two more such flowers - and the bouquet is ready. It remains only to wrap it with a film and tie it with a ribbon.

Paper tulips are ready, it turned out three bouquets.

You can take it to the kindergarten and hand it over.

simple carnation

Another option to assemble a flower from corrugated paper without glue is to string the edge of a long strip on a thread, like pompoms, but you need to be very careful here so that the thin paper does not tear.

Lubricate the base of the workpiece with glue.

We roll the paper into a tube. Secure with staples until the glue dries.

Cut out flower blanks. We use several shades. It will be more convenient to first draw a template, and then cut the flowers along the contour. A few yellow circles will serve as cores for flowers.

Glue the centers to the flowers.

Distribute the flowers evenly throughout the bouquet. We straighten the leaves. Children's bouquet is ready:

Making a flower with a child

Step 1:
The flower will consist of three flower blanks of different sizes. From cardboard yellow color you need to cut three flowers of the same shape, but different in size (from largest to smallest). For convenience, you can first draw the shape of the flower with a pencil, and then cut it out. Glue the blanks together. Most larger flower should be below.

Step 2:
Using a pencil, twist each petal down: place the pencil under the petal, press it with your finger and stretch it down to the tip, twisting slightly. These actions will make the flower lush and voluminous.

Step 3:
For the middle of the flower, you will need corrugated paper or a red napkin. It is necessary to cut off a strip about 3 cm thick, then cut many narrow strips to the middle. Twist the workpiece into a roll and cut again. There is another way: just cut the paper into small pieces. In the middle of the flower, apply glue liberally and glue red pieces of paper.

Step 4:
You can make leaves like this: fold green cardboard in half, draw half of the future leaflet at the fold and cut it out. There should be two such leaves.

Step 5:
To make the stem, you need green cardboard. From it you need to cut off a strip 2-3 cm wide, twist it into a narrow roll and fix it with glue. Cut the top of the stem into four pieces.

Step 6:
All the details are ready, it remains only to connect them together with plasticine. It must be applied to the top of the stem and secure the flower. Leaves are attached in the same way. Glue the flower on plasticine to the bottle cap. This will be the craft stand.

The paper flower is ready.

Soak flowers in water for 5-10 minutes. Do not be afraid to overexpose, watercolor paper is quite thick and soaks in water for a long time. After the allotted time, blot the blanks with a napkin to remove excess liquid. If you can't find colored watercolor paper, you can color plain white paper. food coloring, gel pens, felt-tip pens or gouache. Do this while the paper is still damp.

Place the flower on a damp soft cloth. Using a tool with a ball at the end or any other object with a rounded end (for example, the tip of a pen, brushes), press on the edge of the petal and forcefully draw it to the center. Do the same for all the petals. So the flower will gain relief.

Now transfer the flower to a thick sponge and push the center of the flower. Here the recess should be larger than in the petals.

After extruding the petals, turn the second flower inside out and push it in the center in the same way.

You should get these two types of flowers: with petals bent up and down.

Lay the flowers on a flat surface and leave to dry completely. Dried flowers are very hard, reminiscent of cardboard.

Now it's up to assembly. Glue the flower with the petals inside into the flower with the petals turned outward. PVA glue is great for watercolor paper.

How to make a magnificent flower with your own hands in stages

1. In the list of materials used, the colors of paint and decorative stamens that can be used to create a flower are deliberately not indicated, because they can be chosen according to your desire. The basis of the flower is ordinary white office paper, and then you can paint the product with any paints, according to your taste or need. First you need to take scissors and a sheet of white paper.

2. Cut out the first flower with oblong petals from paper in the amount of 6 pieces. But the shape of the flower may be slightly different, only it is desirable that the petals are oblong.

3. Using the first flower as a template, cut out 6 identical layers of white paper. The more layers you use to create a list, the more magnificent the product you will get. You can not care about evenness and accuracy.

4. Using a brush and plain water, wet the petals. Dip the tip of the brush into the water and run over the petals as if painting over them.

5. Until the paper is dry, squeeze each petal, while it is convenient to use the same brush or pen, applying to a rounded surface. Thus, you will not only bend each petal into a kind of accordion, but also make them inside out.

6. Do the same procedure with all the other petals, leave all layers to dry.

7. While the layers of the flower are drying, prepare a bunch of stamens. Since a white-yellow flower is shown here, the stamens were chosen accordingly. Take 6 or 7 double-sided white and yellow stamens, use a wire to find the middle and bend in half to get a bunch. Twist the end of the wire to make it sharp. In the future, the wire will help to fix the stamens in the center.

8. Dried flower layers white color start fastening. Glue the second layer on the first layer, shifting it.

9. Then glue all other layers in the same way. Before you is a blank for a lush flower.

10. Make a small hole in the center of the flower with scissors and pull the tip of the wire, fixing the stamens. Cut the bottom of the bush and coat with glue.

11. Choose a paint color and casually paint over the top of the flower, leaving white gaps to make it even more ornate.

Simple autumn bouquet - aster

An autumn bouquet made of paper will be an interesting DIY craft for children. It is autumn that is the time of the year that gives us colorful colors and incredible materials for creativity. The craft is a bright bouquet decorated with flowers that look like asters, autumn leaves and a bow.

• a set of cardboard and paper;
• scissors;
• glue;
• black capillary pen;
• semi-beads-crystals;
• brocade bow;
• maple leaf template (or a special hole punch in the shape of any leaf).

How to do autumn bouquet step by step

Prepare cardboard and paper for work. Thick paper (in this case, used green color) is needed to create the foundation. You can also prepare for this purpose junk cardboard from packaging or colored plastic. Bright sheets from the set are needed to create flowers and leaves. If one-sided paper is used for flowers, the reverse side of which is white, then interesting two-color buds will be obtained.

From a dense sheet prepared for the base, cut out a detail that resembles a bouquet in shape. Top part will expand, and on the bottom there will be a tail, like a bouquet.

Cut out some maple leaves (or you can prepare blanks of a different shape, such as oak, chestnut or birch leaves). It is better to use yellow, orange, brown or red paper for this work. Apply veins with a capillary pen. The leaves should be small - this is an addition to the bouquet, which echoes autumn theme. Make 5 or more blanks.

Stick the prepared leaves on the base. You can glue four on top, one on the bottom, or distribute them as you wish.

Additionally, cut out oblong leaves. These are directly the leaves of asters, which will become the central decoration of the postcard. Curl each leaf with the same scissors. Long details are the decoration of the bouquet.

To create buds, prepare thin brushwood from pink paper. Cut the leaf into thin strips and divide each of them into segments about 10 cm long or so.

Fold each piece into a loop, overlapping the edges. The reverse side of the paper may be white.

From paper of any color, cut circles for flowers. Lubricate the circles with glue and start applying loops around the circumference, forming flowers.

Glue two or more rows of loops to get lush buds. Decorate the middle with half beads. You can pick up half beads to match the flowers or use yellow details.

Model three or more aster flowers to decorate the bouquet.

Glue autumn flowers in the center of the bouquet.

Decorate the lower part of the composition with a brocade bow to mask imperfections, and the bouquet looked complete.

Cut off the tip and the wide edge in a semicircle, make 4 such blanks of layers with 8 petals. To create volume, cut one side of the workpiece and glue it to get different widths of the workpiece: 6, 5, 4 and 3 petals. Twist the petals, insert the layers into each other and glue. Fold the leaves of green paper with an accordion.

Paper flowers opening in water

You can spend interesting time with a small child at home. This simple but fascinating miracle craft will interest the baby. The joint production of flowers will bring pleasure to everyone.

You will need:

• colored (on both sides) xerox paper;
• office white paper;
• colour pencils;
• glass of water;
• white shallow plate;
• stapler,
• circle templates with a diameter of 6, 10 and 12 cm (for more complex options colors).

Easy option

Draw several flower options on a white sheet of paper, about 4-5 cm in diameter with not very large petals. Can different colors and petal shapes. Now they need to be cut. Bend the petals of each flower to the center in a circle, one on top of the other.

When the flowers are ready, put a plate and pour some water into it. Now you can lay out paper flowers with bent petals up. And then there will be an amazing transformation. All the petals will open and flowers will bloom on the water.
This action occurs from the fact that the paper absorbs water and tries to return to its original form. And that means it straightens at the fold. It turns out that the flower is blooming.

Flowers can be immediately cut out of colored xerox paper. You can stick something funny or draw inside the flower. Optional.

More difficult option

Option number 1. The original flower can be made large in 3 layers. Take xerox paper, connect it with a stapler in the middle. Using the template, draw two circles with a 2 cm difference between them. In the resulting bagel, depict the petals. The finger will serve as a template. Cut out the flower, capturing three layers at the same time.
Now correctly fold the petals in the center. One by one, overlapping each other. And so all three circles. It remains to run it on the water and see. The flower will open layer by layer. The kid will love it.

Option number 2. This flower can also be made in 2-3 layers. Only now the difference between the circles will be 4-5 cm. Long petals will turn out. Now each petal must be twisted inward with a pencil. You can use a thinner diameter.

Origami flowers

Origami flowers, of course, are not so similar to real ones, but they have their own charm. In addition, this technique helps to develop fine motor skills which is very important for children and adults too. How can such original things be obtained from an ordinary square of paper?

callas

For the manufacture of children's applications, paper is most often used. We suggest adding some chenille wire to it and making beautiful flowers that look like elegant callas. And when creating the flower itself, the child can be introduced to the basics of the origami technique. The entire process of making such an application is given in this master class.

To create such a craft, we prepared:

• white cardboard;
• red, orange, pink and green paper;
• glue;
• chenille wire;
• pencil;
• scissors;
• ruler.

Flowers for this application will be made of colored paper using the origami technique. Therefore, initially we prepare a square blank. In our case, there will be a square with a side of 8 cm.

Fold it in half diagonally.

Now let's unfold the blank of the future flower and begin to bend the sides to the middle line.

It is necessary to bend symmetrically on both sides.

Next, the upper parts of the bent elements are bent back. We try to do it symmetrically. We get such a preparation for a flower.

The middle of the flower will be a piece of chenille wire. It is enough to take about 4 cm. We use orange chenille wire, but if desired, such a center can be made of chenille wire of any color. We fix this piece with PVA glue.

We bend the lower corner of this flower to reverse side and glue.

In a similar way, we make flowers from pink and orange paper.

Now we distribute the flowers on white cardboard, after which we fix them with glue.

From green paper we cut out narrow strips that will become stems on our application.

Leaves for flowers are also made from green paper. To do this, fold it in half, and then cut out the contour of the half of the leaf. We cut out 3 leaves of different sizes. Glue them to our craft. Application with flowers made of paper and chenille wire is ready.

You should not make a tulip or a rose as a first experiment - try something very, very simple first.

decorative crafts

In order to make simple and spectacular flowers you will need:

• double-sided colored paper (corrugated is also suitable);
• thin wire;
• sharp scissors and a pencil for marking.

It is better to take colored paper in several shades, so your flowers will look spectacular and attractive - for example, it can be shades of yellow or several tones of red. Do not try to mix cold and warm colors if you doubt your taste.

For beginners, the easiest way to do this is to fold colored paper several times in such a way that you get a stack of squares of about 6 * 6. Then, with a pencil, mark the shape of future buds on the upper square with a pencil - it can be a smooth rounded figure, regular circles, or whatever your imagination tells you.

Then, with scissors, you need to carefully cut the stack in the shape of a marked sepal and disassemble it into its components - for each flower you will need three to five blanks. The wire must be cut into pieces of about 15-25 centimeters, twisted on one side so that a decorative center is obtained, then the previously obtained “petals” are put on each wire, after which a stand is made at the bottom of the wire (a stable ring is twisted).

With such crafts you can decorate a table for a holiday, or use them for a photo shoot or interior decor, or you can simply attach them to the wall in the nursery or in the hall near the mirror - good mood secured.

By the way, making paper flowers with your own hands for garlands is very simple - you only need beautiful spectacular paper and a little skill. No color templates for cutting or diagrams are required, the main task of such large products is to look bright, unusual and attractive, large paper flowers do not have to be realistic.

What will be required:

• scissors;
• corrugated paper of two or three colors (it is better to take bright and light);
• thread or fishing line;
• stapler or glue.

From corrugated paper, you need to cut rectangles, put them in a pile of five. If you want to get flowers of the same color, then fold by color. And if you want to make original paper flowers, then stack several shades in one pile - pink, white, light red and yellow will look chic.

The size of the rectangles is chosen independently, you just need to remember that the flowers will be of the same diameter as the rectangle on the narrow side.

Each stack is collected in an accordion (look at the photo how to make flowers from such accordions, if the description is not too clear).

Each accordion of five sheets of paper must be stapled in the center or glued with a paper ring. The edges of the accordion are best rounded - cut something like a petal.

Now each blank needs to be turned into a bud - straighten the buds from the accordions you made. You need to spread the accordions in different directions, and you will see how you get beautiful paper flowers in just a few seconds.

Then cut the desired length of fishing line or thread, and string the buds - your garland is ready.
