Paper joy
Before holding various festive events, they often resort to decorating the premises, banquet halls and dining tables with various decor. In this case, compositions containing small flowers made of multi-colored paper will look original.
For work, you will need simple stationery tools available in any home, such as glue, scissors, a stapler, and if necessary, threads with a needle. Also, to create a composition installed in vases, you need a wire or a cocktail tube, which is a stalk. A small flower made of paper can have a bright center, so it will be useful to prepare beads of a suitable size.
How to quickly and easily create a floral decor
The easiest way to create an element for a bouquet is to make a rose from a spiral. To do this, take a red paper sheet and draw a small circle on it with a pencil. Then, in a circle, not reaching the middle, cut a spiral curve. Do not try to maintain the same width of the strip, due to this, small flowers will look more realistic. Start twisting the spiral, approaching the center of the figure. At the end of the work on the bud, fix the base of the rose with glue in the middle.
The next step is to create a flower stalk. On the prepared wire, you need to wind a strip of green paper, gradually rising to the base, where the bud will be located. At the same time, drip a little glue along the length of the stem. Form a cup with leaves under the rose and, leaving a small piece of wire clean, put a bud on it. A small flower made of paper is ready. Having made several elements of paper of different colors, you can create a small and original bouquet that will serve as an excellent decoration for your holiday.
Knitted decoration
Beautiful floral elements created from various yarns using a hook can decorate any outfit, making it festive and unique. To do this, you need very little: a working tool, threads and basic knowledge of knitting. Crochet small flowers, following the detailed description, even a novice can do.
When knitting small elements, chains of air loops, columns without a crochet and with a crochet are mainly used. Take a small skein of any yarn and crochet 6 air loops. Then lock the chain in the ring, attaching the last loop to the first dialed. Each flower petal will consist of three single crochet posts. To do this, you need to go up one loop and knit three more air loops, and then knit 2 SC. Between the petals you need to dial a chain of three loops. Repeat item 4 more times. Thus 5 petals are formed. This description is suitable for those who want to tie very small flowers.
Fabric use
Satin ribbons make very beautiful small and neat kanzashi-style flowers. To create this decor does not require much experience and any sophisticated equipment, the main thing is patience and perseverance. To create a small flower, you will need narrow ribbons of two shades for the bud and leaves. You should also pick up threads matching the material and needles. It can be used for decorating rhinestones or beads.
From the tape we cut off a strip 40 - 50 cm long. We apply the fabric with the short side to the adjacent one, forming a triangle. We bend the top and grab it with a needle and thread. Next, you need to collect the tape on the thread along the edge, folding the strip alternately in small triangles. The fabric collected on the thread is folded into a bud and the base is sewn, thereby tightly fixing the composition.
The next step is to create a leaf for the flower. To do this, cut off the part equal to 10 cm from the green tape. Apply the upper corners of the figure to the middle of the opposite side, forming an equilateral triangle. Stitch and tighten the base of the leaf. For the decoration to be complete, at least one more leaf should be formed. We connect all the elements with a needle and thread.
