There is always a place for celebration in life. These include birthdays, anniversaries, weddings... Even the same matinees in kindergarten. And in almost all cases of celebration there is a question of decorating the room. Decorating with balloons becomes expensive, plus they can suddenly burst. Some of the guests may be allergic to fresh flowers. Therefore, now more and more companies are using paper flowers to decorate their halls.

There are various ready-made decorations that can be ordered from professionals, but in principle, after reading and watching master classes, it is quite possible to make paper flowers with your own hands. How exactly? Let's figure it out now.

DIY ordinary flowers

First you need to decide on the theme and design areas. After all, you can decorate almost anything with paper flowers:

• walls;
• photo zone;
• background screen for anniversaries or newlyweds;
• ceiling;
• tables;
• curtains;
• clothes.

The simplest technique is to cut out petals from paper and then stick them directly onto the object. In this design, daisies and poppies turn out well. Seems too ordinary? Fold each petal in half to immediately add volume.

A little more difficult, but not much, is creating three-dimensional flowers, for example, peony.

Making voluminous flowers

We take ordinary thick cardboard (from under any packaging). We cut a circle out of it - this will be our core. We cut out large petals of the shape we need from white paper. We cut the petal in the center at the base, and glue this place with an overlap to create volume. We do the same with the remaining petals. Then we glue the prepared petals onto the core in a circle. If desired, add a second and subsequent circles of smaller petals, but similarly prepared. But the more petals, the more magnificent the flowers are. The main thing is not to overdo it.

Decorating the hall requires a lot of flowers, so it is better to involve assistants. It could be friends, or it could be children. At the same time, it is a practice that develops motor skills.

If you are planning a photo zone, then you can also use paper flowers to decorate it.

Moreover, it is not necessary to sculpt flowers on the entire wall, although this option has a right to exist.

You can get by with three or four large flowers and a scattering of small ones.

In general, flowers on the wall can be made of any paper and made using any technique. Even from toilet paper rolls. Don't believe me?

Here are the detailed instructions:

We take a lot of rolls, yes, yes, it is advisable to take care of it in advance. Cut them into rings of equal height. We lay out the flower pattern we need from them, and fasten them together with ordinary PVA glue. In order for the parts to grip better, we grab the joint with clothespins.

We carefully attach the resulting beauty to the wall, hanging it on pre-driven nails.

Let's not forget about the theme of the event. So, to decorate a musical evening, you can make huge flowers from music paper.

Most flowers are made from corrugated paper. Almost any flowers can be made from it. From tulips to sunflowers.

How to make giant flowers?

To make giant flowers to decorate the floor we will need:

• large disposable plate;
• 5 large paper clips;
• approximately 35 sheets of corrugated paper;
• glue gun;
• scissors;
• patience.

We fold crepe (corrugated) paper (7 sheets) like an accordion.

This or that decoration has been used everywhere for decades. Every year more and more different types of jewelry appear, and they also vary in the type of materials from which they are made. These can be improvised materials, some natural or special materials made for a specific decor.

As already mentioned, jewelry comes in different types and can be made from a wide variety of materials. Most often, decorations are used in the works of designers, for example, to decorate a hall, bedrooms, children's rooms, kindergarten groups, and you can also decorate a school classroom before some important festive event. Let's look at paper jewelry items.

It can be:

• Garlands made of colored or shiny paper, etc.;
• Paper flowers;
• Paper balls;
• Various products using the origami technique.

Let's take a closer look at paper flowers. Such products are often used to decorate a hall or any other room in order to create a festive or romantic atmosphere.

Flowers can be of different sizes and different colors. The paper products themselves can be made in the form of completely different flowers: rose, dahlia, peony, daffodil, dandelion, tulip and so on. Most often, the choice falls on one flower or another based on the theme of the upcoming celebration, to which the decoration of the hall is timed.

Floral paper products can be either voluminous, as we can now say 3D, or flat, it all depends on how exactly the design will be carried out. For example, if you intend to make a garland on the wall from paper flowers, then it is best to use flat flowers, but if you are going to decorate the ceiling or make a large ceiling garland, then in this case feel free to choose voluminous flowers for your idea.

Large paper flowers for hall decoration: how to make it yourself

There is a whole range of types of paper, each of which has some unique characteristics. At the same time, from all types of paper material you can create such beauty as paper flowers.

The size of flower-themed products varies from small sizes to absolutely huge, almost gigantic. Here, again, everything depends on the imagination of the person who orders or makes the decorations in a floral style.

Huge paper flowers work well when you need to fill a large space at once. So let's get back to the types of paper products.

Let's look at what kind of paper can be used to make decorations for a festive or romantic interior:

1. Plain colored or white paper.
2. Corrugated paper.
3. Craft paper.
4. Wrapping paper.
5. Newspaper or music paper.

The latter is suitable for thematic decorations, for example, in a music education class, you can add decor from flowers made from music paper to the interior; in a printing house, flowers can be made from newsprint.

Making floral decorations for the interior of a room from wrapping paper, including paper baskets for sweets, is well suited for kindergartens. It will be stylish and bright, besides, in this case, you can involve the students in making the decoration, thereby not only decorating the group, but also giving the kids a labor lesson. In addition, corrugated paper is very popular; it can be used to create a huge variety of colors for decoration.

Decorating the hall with corrugated paper flowers

Corrugated paper is one of the most popular types of material from which flowers are made to decorate a wide variety of rooms. Corrugated paper can be used to make both small flowers, for example for voluminous garlands, and for individual flowers. Large colored items look especially good. Let's determine what flowers can be made from corrugated paper.

They all look quite natural, like natural ones:

1. Peonies;
2. Dandelions;
3. Carnations;
4. Exotic flowers.

The latter are usually performed, unlike others, in whole bouquets. Well suited for single room decor, or for Hawaiian-style parties.

Volumetric dandelions look like pompoms due to the light structure of the flower made of corrugated paper.

As mentioned earlier, you can use paper flowers to decorate the room, using them in the form of garlands. Often such garlands are made from small volumetric flowers like carnations or small dandelions. Corrugated paper is ideal for making garlands due to its lightness. Garlands made of thicker and heavier paper will not look so delicate and airy.

It is worth showing how you can make one of the simplest types of flower from corrugated paper - a dandelion. We take a stack of sheets of corrugated material, fold it like an accordion, then squeeze it in the middle and open the petals on both sides of the middle, a very fluffy ball comes out.

How to decorate a hall with paper flowers

There are many different ways to decorate a hall or other residential or non-residential premises with flowers from any type of paper, just as there are a huge number of master classes on making flowers.

Decoration can be placed:

• On the ceiling;
• On the walls;
• On the canvas of curtains or tulle;
• On the floor – giant flowers can be placed here, for example in the corners of the hall.

For wall decor, you can use paper flowers in volumetric or flat form. Of the flat flowers, daisies are often common. They can come in a variety of colors. Some daisies have one row of petals, some have several rows; such flowers may also differ in their core. Some people prefer to make it just as flat from a circle of paper, while others prefer to make a voluminous core.

To do this, the circle of the core is fluffed. This can be done by making numerous cuts at the edges of the core circle, without reaching the middle of the circle.

Next, let's look at how you can decorate the ceiling with flowers. The ceiling can be decorated with either individual flowers or entire garlands. Some people prefer to attach individual color paper products directly to the ceiling canvas, which may not be convenient for their subsequent separation, while others prefer to attach individual colors to thin threads. This method is great for rooms with high ceilings. If attached to thin threads, it will make the ceiling decoration mystical and mysterious, because thin light threads will be almost invisible, and thus will create the impression that the flowers are floating right in the air under the ceiling.

On curtains you can attach garlands of small flowers, like Hawaiian garlands, or large or small individual flowers. This solution is well suited for decorating a room for a children's party. With such bright curtain decor you can create the impression that children are in a magical forest or jungle. It all depends only on your imagination and the size of the room to be decorated.

Paper flowers for decorating a room with your own hands: all the subtleties of making them

Organizing a festive celebration is always accompanied by many problems and unnecessary expenses. This can apply to both weddings and birthday celebrations. Regardless of the occasion, room decoration remains an important element in preparing for the event. Paper flowers for decorating a hall with your own hands are in first place in popularity compared to the long-used fresh flowers, fabrics and balloons. By making paper flowers with your own hands, you will show originality and unleash your imagination.

DIY crafts have been known since ancient times. Even then, flowers were made from scrap materials and paper was used. In the Middle Ages, paper flowers were used to decorate the walls of houses intended for worship and religious ceremonies. Nowadays, such crafts are made both at enterprises and independently by handmade lovers.

Paper flowers are used very widely, for compositional decoration, creating photo frames, postcards, gift boxes, caskets, but still most often they are used to decorate the hall and festive tables. Such fakes will create a festive mood and give joy on the special day.

To create flowers with your own hands, we will need various materials and tools. Often, plain paper is used, both in different colors and standard white. It all depends on what kind of flower will be made. Products made from crepe and corrugated paper have gained no less popularity. If you only have white paper, then the way out of the situation is to paint it with the required color using watercolor or gouache.

The following tools are necessary for decorating and fastening all flower details: glue, scissors, thread, wire, tape, stapler. All this is an integral part of creating this or that craft. But still, the most important elements remain paper and glue, as the main and necessary ones.

Decorative flowers have the advantage for which most people value them: even the simplest and cheapest paper can be used to make an original and beautiful flower. Any flower can be created with a minimum of effort. And the main advantage is the durability of the craft with careful use.

The main condition when designing and decorating paper flowers is to maintain the proportions and maximum similarity of the flower inflorescence with real flowers. In this case, you will achieve the desired effect.

Before creating the flowers you need, it is important to decide what you want to see. Will it be large flowers glued to the wall of the hall, or small bouquets on tables in vases, or original garlands decorating a table or other furniture. It’s also worth deciding what type of flower will dominate your composition, so you can perfectly combine it with other colors or decorative elements. Use only quality materials for the ultimate in strength and durability.

The simplest paper flower that even a small child can make is a snowdrop. For it you need to take a small piece of paper, preferably white, fold it diagonally and bend the corners. This simplest version of a flower can be glued to the surface, then the rest of its parts can be added or completed.

Paper roses can be made both small and huge. The size depends on the flight of your imagination and, of course, on the purpose and size of your formal hall. To create a rose, you need to do the following:

Draw a spiral on paper of the desired color.

Cut it out with scissors.

Twist the spiral, starting from the end to the middle, gradually loosening the tension.

Secure the twisted spiral with glue.

The circle that formed in the center of the rose needs to be bent and glued, this will be its base.

In this way, a beautiful and original rose is obtained, which can be presented in a composition either in a single form or in the form of a certain number of flowers in a bouquet. To do this, you need to apply a little glue to the wire that will serve as the stem for the rose. Then glue the petals onto the tip of the paper.

Next you need to start preparing the petals themselves. The paper is folded 12 times and the petals are cut out to the required sizes. Then they are glued to the stem and this creates another version of roses, which can already be combined into a beautiful bouquet.

The most beautiful flowers are made from corrugated paper. It is considered the most convenient material for creating various shapes and volumes of flowers. From this paper, flowers acquire magnificent sizes and have an impeccable appearance. Bouquets of peonies, sunflowers, dahlias, asters, crocuses or other flowers can be made from such paper to decorate the room.

Giant flowers are perfect for decorating a wedding venue. For such flowers, it is important to have a strong base or a rod on which the rest of the craft structure will be attached. This will contribute to the reliability and durability of the flower.

Making paper flowers with your own hands is a great art that requires effort and diligence. But the result is worth it; your guests will appreciate your original crafts.

How to decorate a hall: paper plus imagination

Today I have collected several simple, but quite effective ways to decorate a hall (assembly, music) for a children's party.

The downside of this idea is that creating paper decorations takes a lot of time, so if we are talking about decorating a school hall, I advise you to conduct several master classes with children of middle and high school age. This is the only way to get many of the same elements for your holiday decoration.

Large voluminous flowers and pompoms

Pompoms of different colors and sizes can be bought in online stores. They will be delivered folded, all you have to do is fluff them up.

If you have time and free hands, you can do it yourself.

I won’t repeat myself, I’ll just point you to my article, in which there are three examples fairly large paper products. Just be careful, some flowers are made from corrugated paper, and hanging balls And outdoor flowers- from a thin silence.

We follow the picture, there is a description:

How to decorate a hall with such flowers?

• can be hung from the ceiling
• attach to the edge of the stage (as a rule, there is always something to cover there :-))
• hang vertically on ribbons along the edges of the stage
• lay along the edges of the “carpet” path along which graduates solemnly walk

Corrugated paper flowers

There is no way to do this without collective creativity. But! If you make a sketch 2-3 months before the event, you can quite manage to do everything. Again I’m sending you to my article with 10 master classes on making flowers and bouquets that will decorate not only the stage, but also festive tables (follow the picture):

By the way, ideas can be taken from newlyweds, whose tables are decorated with living plants. What a difference, actually! These are charming examples of flower arrangements that will look very festive even on paper!

Here I will also mention the “trees of happiness”. They are also made from corrugated paper or colored table napkins. It turns out elegant, there are quite a lot of master classes on the Internet, look for it!

How to decorate a hall with voluminous garlands

The point is this: you need to make three-dimensional figures from paper, which are then strung at some distance from each other on threads, fishing lines or thin ribbons. Such garlands hanging from the ceiling will greatly decorate a music or assembly hall.

Here is my example - pigeons in the clouds: I print out a diagram of a paper dove (by the way, you can print 20 more diagrams of different animals from here). For one garland we need two such birds. Cut out and fold along the folds, looking at the drawing in the right corner.

We will alternate pigeons with paper clouds like these. I don’t give you a diagram - we randomly cut out identical parts from 2 sheets of A4 format, bend them and fasten them in the center with a stapler. In a large figure, I cut out a small detail inside. This will also be a small cloud.

All! All that remains is to assemble our voluminous garland onto a string! I did this with a needle, securing the parts simply with a “step back” seam so that they would not roll down.

How do you like my pigeons in the clouds? By the way, these garlands spin very beautifully from any air movement. In the diagram the dove has legs, but we don't need it to stand on the table, I just made a curve at the bottom.

Cardboard letters

The inscriptions on the back of the stage are a weak point almost always and everywhere. The letters are poorly painted, the letter spacing is not maintained, and everything, as a rule, looks unprofessional.

If possible, it is better not to do this at all :-). But there are times when inscriptions or numbers are required. For example, a school anniversary.

I suggest decorating large cardboard letters with small flowers from colored napkins. The work is painstaking, but the effect is quite interesting.

The napkins are the most ordinary, small ones. One flower requires 2 napkins. Place them folded one on top of the other, draw a circle using a saucer, and cut them out. We fasten it in the center with a stapler. What to do next can be seen in the picture. We fix the resulting flowers with glue on a cardboard blank with numbers or letters.

Wall decorations

The picture on the left shows charming flowers with voluminous petals. Cut out the hearts, fold them in half, and glue one side. We made them quite large - one petal was made from half a landscape sheet. A noticeable decoration, no doubt about it! We attached them to strips of plain blue wallpaper and decorated the backdrop of the stage.

The right picture shows a “musical” wreath made from photocopies of music pages. The rolls are easy to roll and the results are amazing!

Ready-made three-dimensional paper decorations

Please appreciate my enormous work - articles with pictures that I have prepared for your convenience. She found the best examples of design, gave advice on installation and assembly :-). All these elements are quite LARGE, perfect for the hall, the price is quite reasonable.

I wish you pleasant viewing (click on the red words):

Thank you very much for the idea of ​​decorating the letter with flowers from napkins! Before my daughter’s birthday, I only had a few hours to design the letter using the materials polystyrene foam, masking tape and corrugated paper + zero experience in crafting paper flowers. There were several ways, but yours turned out to be the fastest and most beautiful.
As a result, I cut out a letter from foam plastic, wrapped it with masking tape, and made a lot of small flowers from corrugated paper according to your sample, which I pasted onto the letter, it turned out well))))

Yes exactly! You can do it on foam plastic, it will also be voluminous. Thanks for the idea.

Paper crafts are the bomb

It turns out beautifully. And you can do it yourself if you try hard, and even if under your leadership. Thanks for the ideas.

Master class “Paper flower for hall decoration”

PAPER FLOWER

For decorations central wall of the musical hall I try to use inexpensive means at hand. I often use it for this purpose printer paper. This year by March 8 decorated wall in the form of the number 8, made of paper flowers(of course I spotted the idea on the MAAM website). I've often heard question. “How did you make them so beautiful? flowers? I present to your attention a small Master Class.

1. Bend the sheet diagonally

2. Cut off the excess to make a square

3. Bend in half to find the middle

4. Bend the upper corner towards the middle of the base

5. And then we bend the same corner in half upward, as seen in the photo

6. You get two horizontal lines

7. Bend both edges of the workpiece from the middle of the base to the extreme points of the upper horizontal line

8. And fold the edges again - the left edge forward, and the right edge back

9. On the resulting blank we draw the outline of the future flower

11. Expand. It turned out 5 petal flower. We bend the inner petal inward along the fold line to add volume.

For decoration I used these flowers of different sizes. pre-glued to them colored center in the form of a circle

Thank you for your attention! I will be glad if it is useful to someone in their work.

Good afternoon, today I’m finally uploading a large selection of 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 three-dimensional - from corrugated paper and thick colored paper. I will show you every craft step by step in photos and I will give as much as possible detailed instructions to each flower made in one way or another. I will also give stencils– templates of flower silhouettes. All the crafts I collected are posted in order from simple to complex. First of all, we will study the MOST UNDERSTANDABLE 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 the origami technique). I also uploaded a special article dedicated to different ways to make a paper rose - here is the link to it

And, for educators (teachers and educators) I made an article with simple children's crafts WITH FLOWERS, which can be made in classes at school and kindergarten from paper and other materials:

I specifically decided to do so big a selection of paper flowers in one place - with the goal that you can immediately find a suitable scheme for assembling a flower for THAT PAPER THAT YOU HAVE, and for the task that you want to solve with the help of paper flowers (a flower craft as a gift for mom, decorating a child's birthdays with voluminous flower arrangements, wedding decoration, decor for cards or gift bags).

The only thing I didn’t include in the body of this article was PAPER ROSES. 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 that “Paper roses - 20 ways to make them yourself.”

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

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

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

You can also make such a large paper flower simply as a gift for Mother’s Day, or for March 8th. Surely no one has ever given your mother something like this before. 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 social media page.

Ordinary plastic combs, rims and metal pins can also be decorated with voluminous paper flowers. So we will get elegant hair decorations for a wedding or party.

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

Also, a paper flower made with your own hands is the best gift box decoration. And not costly. A lush gift ribbon costs much more than a couple of sheets of colored or white office paper - a few movements with scissors and now a paper orchid or the delicate pink color of a wild rose has bloomed on your package.

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

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

METHOD No. 1

PAPER FLOWERS

I decided to call the flowers made this way "puff pastries" because their construction principle is the same as that of puff pastry. Subtle 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.

Here in the photo below we see a step-by-step master class for beginners on how to create such a voluminous dahlia flower. The dahlia is not to be confused with the aster; the aster has narrower petals and each has an edge (a raised fold like on trousers).

So... let's look carefully at the photo of the flower craft below. The trick here is that paper is cut layer outlines– each contour has six petals, and differs 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 the silhouette in order to give it a natural shape. We begin gluing and assembling the paper dahlia from the little ones middle layers to larger and larger ones.

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

ANSWER: Here's the one simple and fast way make such a flower with your own hands as a novice master. It does not require searching for a stencil template, but allows you to obtain geometrically even petal parts for a paper flower without any measuring instruments (compasses and rulers).

1. Take a sheet of paper and glasses different radii. We trace 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 out a snowflake). And on such a round piece folded into a triangle we draw outlines of two petals (like a heart).
3. We cut this contour with scissors (see photo below) - we deepen the cutout in the middle of the heart - we unfold it and get a petal layer.

Because we have circles of different sizes - then we will get petal layers different in size. We set the relief, put it together, add a yellow stamen-middle (stamens will be discussed below).

Such a delicate flower can be strung on a wire (to make a stem) and presented to your mother as a paper bouquet for Mother’s Day.

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

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

Using the PAPER PAY technique you can make a variety of three-dimensional flowers (anemones, poppies, asters, dahlias, roses). The evidence is in the photo below.

You see – the same “puff” method – but the results are completely different flowers. And all due to the fact that the silhouettes of the paper petal layers are DIFFERENT IN THEIR OUTLINES.

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

For relief we need round sticks of varying thickness (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 lies neatly on thick paper– you may need to slightly moisten it before work (sprinkle it from a spray bottle or hold it on a wet towel). Try it and see how it works better - dry or wet.

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

And you can also resize any template using a computer mouse.

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

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

Try this right now– press and twist. See how the stencil design image below has changed size? This way you can directly on the computer screen, adjust the template to any size and trace it with a pencil on a sheet of paper placed on the screen of your monitor. This is the fastest way to get the outline of any flower stencil immediately in any size we need.

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

Let’s also take a closer look at the interesting additions to such layered colors.

How to make a stamen

in puff paper flowers.

Below is an interesting step-by-step lesson where we see how a stamen for a multi-layer paper flower is created step by step.

How to apply

large inflorescence

on one stalk.

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

This is exactly the kind of flower craft that the step-by-step master class in the photo below will demonstrate.

1. We cut out a bunch of stems with a common round base from green thick paper (or cardboard). We glue double-sided tape onto this round base.
2. We twist a tube from a newspaper and wrap it in green paper. 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 onto its stem. We add wide leaves to the central stem-leg. It turns out to be a very beautiful stem-bouquet made of paper.

How to make a layer flower

WITH ASSYMETRICAL petals.

But in the photo below we see from what shape the layers are used to create an ORCHID paper flower with your own hands.

In a glass of water add a drop of green paint– we get light green water. We wet the white parts of the orchid with this water; they become white-green (just like in nature).

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

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

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

1. Lower layer of blue petals (total 2 pieces with location in the upper direction).
2. After blue layer petals (also 2 pieces spread out 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 color, and draw the central lines with a pencil. We make yellow stamen balls from crumpled paper (or from plasticine).

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

Volumetric puff flower

made of THIN paper.

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

But if If you make flower crafts from CREPE, CRUMPTED PAPER, then you don’t need to specify the relief there. The texture of the paper itself will allow you to make a fluffy three-dimensional flower.

Moreover, The corrugated structure of the paper allows you not to even bother with getting LAYERS OF DIFFERENT SIZES. That is all layers of the flower can be the same size. The master classes on paper flowers below clearly prove this.

Do you 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 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 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 place a piece of cardboard with two holes (like a button... however, the cardboard can be replaced with a button). And we thread 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 out all the corrugated layers of the craft with our hands.

Think for yourself how you can diversify and complement this airy napkin flower. You can also add border color– to do this, slightly stain the cut out napkin silhouettes along the edges with an office marker.

Turn on your imagination... and let her play around with napkins to her heart's content. There is never a shortage of tea napkins. And suddenly you will give birth to your own designer flower.

And red carnations are made using the same method. Identical round pieces with a jagged edge are also cut out of a napkin - and deep cuts are made 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 (there will be a stem on it. A beautiful DIY flower craft for dad on February 23, or on Victory Day for grandpa.

And Lingeri terry daffodils are made using exactly the same principle as carnations (in the step-by-step lesson above). This is what they are like in nature – lush and voluminous.

Spring flowers made of paper are a good gift for mom on March 8th. And now you will find out how easy it is to make them yourself.

And here's how to make them from dyed paper napkins. We place a stack of napkins on top of each other - fold them into quarters - into a triangle - cut 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, leaving the bottom layer white.

Now about the material. Daffodils are gorgeous, you say, but where can 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 2 shades of yellow... or 2) get a pale shade of yellow from bright yellow crepe crepe paper.

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

ANSWER: We paint the napkin in a straightened form with tinted water. Dye some water in a glass and pour it onto a straightened napkin. We wait for the napkin to dry naturally (about a day).

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

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

As you can see, everything is solvable - if you turn on your head and think... and try to experiment. Knowledge often comes through experience (even if this path is messy). One bad experience can give rise to several ideas at once. I somehow wet the crepe paper and ruined the craft, but then I saw that when it gets wet, the crepe paper loses its color. And one day I spilled water for washing brushes on a paper napkin - and it turned a delicate, even color. So out of two jambs - I got 2 experiences in changing color for delicate and thin paper textures.

Well, this 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 extensive and detailed so that you immediately understand a simple and important truth:

Even one single design can have MULTIPLE CONTINUATIONS... numerous variations... endless designs. And you yourself can become the author - and create your own paper flower, made in the same way of “shaped layers superimposed on each other” ».

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

METHOD No. 2

Paper flowers

TWISTED INTO A TUBE.

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

And it never occurred to us that inside this primitive method there was hidden a recipe for more than just the humble clove.

This method " twisting crepe paper into a roll" can give birth to completely different three-dimensional 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's photo proof. Do you see?

Different regions produce 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 the queen of flowers).

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

Here you go in the photo below - an example of paper flowers in the same roll rolling technique FROM REGULAR THICK COLORED PAPER (office double-sided colored paper).

This is a simple job and very simple instructions.

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

AND IF YOU ADD A THRUST FOR EXPERIMENT TO THIS SIMPLE TWISTING TECHNIQUE, YOU CAN GET NEW DESIGNS OF PAPER FLOWERS.

For example, what if... You can’t just bend these petals to the sides with a flat, spreading daisy, but slightly twist the tip of each petal inward (as we do with curls in the morning) - and you’ll get a voluminous, lush ASTER.

What if... make a strip for twisting with AREAS OF DIFFERENT WIDTH. We see the result of this idea in the photo diagram below.

1. A narrow strip (1 cm wide) for the middle stamen (wrap it in a tight roll on a toothpick).
2. Next, we wrap a petal strip (with a fringed edge) 2 centimeters wide onto this roll.
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 stripes, we will get a roll flower in which the height of the petals increases from the center to the edges.

As you can see, you can and should do EXPERIMENTS with this simple roll technique. Let's continue to encourage our inquisitive mind and decide on another wild idea...

WHAT IF, cut the fringe not straight, but diagonally. And what if... this oblique fringe is not cut along the edge CUT, and along the edge of the FOLD (that is, bend the strip in half along the entire length, and cut this fold line diagonally 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 - it looks like a difficult job, but making it with your own hands is simple and quick.

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

Like for example in this master class in the photo below. Do you 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 in a very original and simple way.

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

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

This roll equipment can be combine with a regular petal puff (Method No. 1 from this article).. Yes – you can – because it occurs in nature. God himself once came to this idea - and created the Marigold flowers. And we will implement this method of combining a roll and a puff on paper. (see how this is done in the infographic below).

In roll technology the fluffy center of the flower is made. And using the “Puff Puff” technique“The lower petal part of the marigold flower is made of paper (templates with five-leaf silhouettes). Photo instructions for assembling the flower are below.

But here is a rosehip flower - where the stamen and the middle are also combined using the rolling twist technique and 2 petal layers. By the way, you can make them in large sheets of A4 format and stick them on the wall - and your living room will be transformed. Buy a pack of red office paper from the stationery store and play interior designer. All the neighbors will come running to gasp with delight.

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

You get large sunflowers from crepe paper.

Using a similar ROLL-BUNK + INDIVIDUAL PETAS technique, you can also make a daffodil flower with your own hands.

But these flowers, EITHER LILAC OR SALVIA - with a long stem of inflorescences, are also made using the roll technique.

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

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

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

Paper rose flowers

FOLDING method.

Using the roll technique, you can quickly roll up a paper rose. We will have a separate article on paper roses. But I will give two master classes right here - because they cover the roll technique of creating flowers.

Here is the first step-by-step paper rose master class. Thick paper is used here, and in order for the petal parts to have the geometry of broken pink petals, this thick paper strip needs to be PUMPED AND TWISTED around itself during the process of rolling into a roll.

And don't pay attention to these centimeters... Just take it the very essence this instruction. Cut a strip of paper from the draft and try to twist it into a rose, simply bending the strip as God wishes - the paper itself will tell you where to bend and turn it.

You will find many other options for making a paper rose from different types of paper in the article

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

Enough for this draw a snail on a sheet of cardboard(uneven curve, no matter what). This drawn spiral will be the template for our paper flower.

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

My advice, do not use glazed slippery glossy paper for this rose craft.– such an elastic rose will strive to turn around or the spiral circles will slip out of the flower’s bed. It is better to choose rough paper or not very thick cardboard - this way the rose will better hold its shape.

Paper flowers

Method No. 3

Using the POMPOM technique.

Here's an even faster way to create a fluffy, voluminous flower. It is made using the pompom technique - from corrugated crepe paper

This technique is good because it allows you to very quickly make large flowers from paper - since 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) ribbon several times to create many layers. We cut the folded ribbon into fringe from TWO EDGES, leaving 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 wad of black paper - and the flower resembles 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 master class) we make anemones using exactly the same pompom technique. The difference is that we slightly changed the shape of the fringe - it’s not even a cut fringe 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.

Is it absolutely possible? do not change the edge shape- that is, do not cut it or fringe it at all. Leave it flat, as it is on a napkin. Just lightly color it with a marker.

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

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

You can also make this 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 onto a double-sided fringe (or a patterned edge on both sides), then we make patterned edges on both sides 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 make a rounding on both sides of this folded fan with scissors.

After unfold the strips and put a narrow black stripe to the middle of the wide yellow stripe. We fold them again like an accordion (this time two-color).

We tie it with twine or wire. And we unfold 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 cut fringe, glued between the blades of the black center.

And here is a master class that shows how to make a paper pom-pom flower WITH A FRINGED stamen with your own hands (photo instructions 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 small fringes. This is another way to make large flowers using crepe paper.

Method No. 4

Paper flowers

Twisted on a ball.

Here's another way to create flowers from crimped crepe paper.

To make such paper flowers you need wide short strips of crepe paper and balls of different sizes (lollipops, balls). We place the ball on the strip and hug the ball with the strip on both sides - we twist the tails and ends of the strip into a tight flagellum. Carefully remove the ball, trying not to crush the inflated petal template. We make several of these petals and collect them into a lush flower.

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

If you put these petals close to each other, you will get a cup of a closed crocus flower (as in the photo below). Excellent craft-flowers for March 8th for mom.

You can make a lot of bouquets from crepe corrugated paper. Including bouquets of sweets.

Method No. 5

FLOWERS made of paper

Using ORIGAMI technique.

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

The first model is flowers with conical petals. They are so handsome. Each petal of such a flower is made from a simple square of paper. Using simple origami technique.

All the finished petals are glued to each other - and a beautiful rhinestone-stone is placed in the center of the gluing.

These craft flowers are very easy and quick to make yourself – and they look very elegant on gift wrapping. You can even decorate a Christmas tree with them.

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 the common person. After module 10, when the entire pattern of the flower has already been absorbed into your subconscious, your hands already do everything almost blindly - automatically.

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 room 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 into one common large ball. And use it as a pendant. Or as a crown for a decorative tree (which is usually used to decorate weddings).

Here is a master class on a large water lily and paper folding techniques without cutting.

But here is an interesting method where the petal modules are made separately, and then each module is not glued, but simply inserted into the grooves of the adjacent module.

These handmade paper flowers can be an excellent craft for any occasion. You can now make paper flowers using different techniques and teach it to your children. You can use these ideas for holiday decorations or for activities in the Skillful Hands group. Such flowers are suitable as crafts for the Spring competition at school or kindergarten. Or these flowers can be a gift for mom on March 8th - a bouquet of paper flowers made by yourself.
Lots of simple ideas for children's crafts on the theme of flowers you will find in our other articles:

By correctly preparing the materials, tools and developing a design for creating the product, you can create an original and elegant bouquet or an unusual composition that can decorate the living room and make it the most extraordinary and magical.

Paper hall decorations

After studying a master class on how to make decorations for your living room using paper, you can make your own flowers without breaking the bank. Very often people start thinking about creating such decor when preparing for a wedding. Nowadays it is no longer fashionable to use balloons, since they have ceased to amaze, but paper decor is something new. Decorating with paper flowers is a modern, and most importantly, alternative way to decorate celebration rooms and just apartments.

To make them you don't need:

• A lot of time;

They can be attached to absolutely any surface and even to curtains, since the products are very light. They fit perfectly into any interior and, if necessary, can be removed from view. Such products can please you at any time of the year and do not need to be watered, trimmed or fed.

Advantages of decor

Decorating a room with paper flowers has a certain number of advantages:

1. With such products, any celebration will become more vibrant and modern.
2. You don’t have to spend money on a florist and create the decor yourself.
3. There is no need to purchase a huge amount of natural flowers, which are far from inexpensive.

Paper flowers for hall decoration: master class

To make pompoms or flowers with your own hands, you will need to prepare some materials.

Namely:

• Tissue or corrugated paper;
• Wire;
• Scissors;
• Glue;
• Glitter.

You can create a wide variety of flowers, from the simplest, such as daisies, to complex, such as peony or lush rose. Making them is quite simple, since you need to cut out the petals of the appropriate shape. Depending on the splendor of the bud, it is worth adding the number of petals, but so that the flower is beautiful and does not resemble a pile of paper.

The inner petals must be smaller in size, which will bring the appearance of the artificial flower as close as possible to its real appearance.

The stem requires green paper, with which the wire is wrapped in several layers. It is important to remember that if you plan to create decor in the form of a bouquet, then you should not forget about the leaves on the stem. And if it is a composition of buds, then it should be voluminous and airy in appearance.

Origami flowers: do it yourself

The art of origami is known to people all over the world. Having studied the technique of creating such jewelry, you can create unimaginable, beautiful, stylish and fashionable flowers. Origami is unique in that you can create real, small copies of plants and flowers without much effort.

Naturally, paper flowers cannot convey the aroma of real buds, but they can also decorate a room and make it more attractive and unusual.

To get a high-quality product that can surprise others, you should properly prepare for the work. Origami originally originated in Japan, and only then spread throughout the world. The technique is very difficult, but can be understandable and useful. In addition to origami, you can simply do ordinary needlework and create lush flowers by hanging them on the ceiling, in the corners of the room, or on curtains.

As for choosing the type of colors and their shades, you should start from:

• Room size;
• Style;
• The shade chosen as the main one in the interior.

Unfortunately, an artificial fuchsia peony may not always fit into a room in the Art Nouveau style, but an exception would be for a special event. For production, you need to choose paper, and it is also possible to use fabric, such as silk or organza. The fabric must first be cut into stencils and also starched so that the bud is denser and does not fall apart.

You can collect the bouquet on a wire, which is very convenient. You need to wind the petals from the core, starting with small leaves. When winding, you can coat the lower part with glue, thanks to which the flower will be durable and literally will not crumble during use.
