Flowers are a unique creation of nature. They appeared on our planet even before the most ancient ancestors of man. Now these wonderful creations are the embodiment of beauty and perfection. A variety of shapes, colors is amazing. Using a bouquet of flowers, it is traditionally customary to express one’s feelings and aspirations of the soul: love, kindness, respect, friendship. Is that why people always wanted to copy this beauty by creating paper flowers?
Do-it -yourself flowers made from paper can, just like living ones, really please loved ones. With the help of artificial creations, panels, postcards, decorations are created, and the interior of the premises is decorated. Paper flowers can be in addition to clothing accessories, such as hats, and a mandatory attribute of the holidays.
Truly exquisite flowers are obtained if they are made using "mirror" gold or silver paper that reflects light. Bouquets of such paper flowers will be a fashionable decoration of the interior. From them you can make an elegant composition by arranging a bouquet or individual huge flowers in the corner of the room. The original design of the room is a few flowing threads falling in the form of a waterfall, mounted on a chandelier.
Making Paper Flowers - Easy Ways
In order to make paper flowers, you need light thin paper (cigarette, corrugated, writing); wire of different thickness; scissors; glue.
Simple flowers in the form of a lush rose, peony, terry poppy are made from simple oval petals. Five to ten oblong identical workpieces are cut. For inner petals, the size may be slightly smaller. You can use several matching shades of paper: from white to light and bright pink. The inner stamens are made of several strips of paper cut by a fringe, or cotton buds.
Then they take the wire and fold it with a loop through which the stamens are passed. Then the petals are gradually beautifully laid in a circle, each of which is glued with a small amount of glue to the previous layer. Having formed a flower bud, the base is decorated on top with green paper, wrapped several times. The flower stalk is also formed using green paper, wrapping the wire and securing the leaves.
To create paper flowers of a more realistic and complex shape, they first perform patterns on plain paper. Then, leaves and petals are cut out from the blanks, from which elegant flowers will be obtained.
