Chamomile. This flower is familiar to every resident of our country. The yellow center and white petals look especially bright and gentle against the background of lush green grass. Unfortunately, in a vase, a bouquet of these flowers will not stand for a long time. But a daisy-colored paper application can decorate your interior as much as you wish! How to make such a do-it-yourself craft, we will tell you today in our article.
Simple daisy using flat application technique
The simplest embodiment of the floral applique is flat. From colored paper, it is necessary to cut out the details of the chamomile, and then glue them on a base sheet. The petals of this flower are oval, they can be rounded or sharpen to the edge. These elements are cut out of white paper. The core of the daisy is a yellow circle. Optionally, you can add a stem and leaves of green paper. Lay out all the elements on the background sheet, and then glue it - you have a bright and beautiful applique "Daisy". The template for creating a simple card with this flower you see in this article above. Print a pattern and cut a daisy, and then glue it on the background, as shown in the sample. On the free space of the base sheet, you can write a wish. A flat daisy applique is a very simple craft. With the help of my mother, even a child of three can cope with its manufacture.
Volumetric applique "Daisy" made of colored paper
An interesting idea for children's and adult creativity is the manufacture of volumetric flowers. Cut narrow strips of white paper, let them be 10 cm long and 1.5 cm wide. For the production of one inflorescence, 7-10 blanks will be needed. For the middle, cut out circles of 2.5-4 cm in diameter from yellow paper. To make one daisy, you need two cores. Pick up one strip, connect its ends and glue, without bending the middle. You should get a paper loop. Glue all prepared strips as well and glue them with tips to one of the middle ones. On the other hand, close the petals attachment area with a second circle of yellow paper. The “Chamomile” paper application made in this technique can be used for panels and postcards. If you glue the flower to the background sheet, applying glue only to its middle, you will save the volume of the petals.
How to make realistic flowers out of paper?
From plain paper using the simplest devices you can make daisies, similar to real! Cut a circle from a white sheet and mark it in equal parts from the center. Cut through the marked petals, rounding their tips. Now the most interesting part of the work is to push the center of the future flower with a cap from a marker or another blunt object. The petals should rise slightly, and the place for the core of the flower will become depressed. After that, take a pencil and carefully twist the edges of the petals. In the middle, glue a circle cut out of yellow paper. A chamomile applique looks much more interesting with a more complex core. To make it, cut a narrow strip of yellow paper and make it a “fringe”. Wrap the resulting workpiece on a toothpick and glue it on one side to keep it rolled up. Fluff the fringe from the non-glued end and glue the blank onto the daisy.

Hand-made paper flowers are suitable not only for children's crafts. With their help, you can decorate the interior or photo zone. The application “Daisy” made of colored paper will look beneficial in the form of an interior bouquet. Make inflorescences and, instead of sticking them to the base, attach to the stems. The stems are easiest to make from wire, wrapping it with green paper or thread. Gather a bouquet of the desired number of flowers and choose the right vase for it.
