At the first glance at the bright red corrugated paper, an association with the petals of a recently opened poppy appears. Are you inspired by the idea of making such flowers? Then we will tell you how to make poppies from corrugated paper.
What is needed
In order to make flowers from corrugated paper (poppies), you will need corrugated paper itself:
- red color No. 580;
- green number 562;
- black No. 602;
- scissors;
- wire;
- foil or piece of foam;
- hot glue.
How to make poppies from corrugated paper: a master class
Real flowers in nature have from 6 to 10 petals. We restrict ourselves to the simplest option. To make one blooming poppy you need:
- cut out one black square of 7x7 centimeters from black paper;
- fold several times;
- cut 6 rectangles from red paper (5x7 centimeters);
- cut a black square, not reaching the edge by 1 centimeter;
- twist the "stamens" into thin tubes;
- cut petals from red rectangles (see photo);
- stretch the top edge;
- crumple and crush all the petals, achieving a natural look;
- make small cuts with manicure scissors along their edges - 2-3 pieces for each part;
- cut a rectangle measuring 3x11 centimeters from green paper;
- scroll it right in the middle once.
Assembly
Making poppies from corrugated paper (a master class will help you learn how to make them look like fresh flowers), you should pay particular attention to the final stage of work.
The assembly is carried out in the following order:
- they take a round candy or, if you do not want to make a “sweet flower,” a piece of crumpled foil, which was shaped like a ball, and hide it in paper to make the middle of the flower;
- stamens are attached to it with threads;
- with the glue gun attach the first petal, place the second one next, etc.
Corrugated paper poppies (master class): picking a bud
Option number 1
You will need corrugated paper in red (No. 580) and green (No. 562) colors. The bud is made in this order:
- twisting the end of the wire, prepare the stem so as not to accidentally pierce the candy (you can use a ball of foil or a piece of foam);
- 1 red rectangle (3x11 cm) and 2 green (3x8 cm) are cut out;
- the first part is scrolled in the middle 2 times and the candy is hidden;
- attach the wire using the thread of the desired color;
- round the top edges of the green rectangles with scissors;
- visually divide the resulting parts in length into three parts;
- the uppermost of them scroll once;
- give the details the shape of a boat, slightly stretching the paper;
- fix the unopened bud of red color between two green details.
Creating a bud: option number 2
Having made poppies from corrugated paper (a master class see above), you can supplement them with a half-bloomed flower. To create it you need:
- cut out 2 green rectangles (3x10 cm) and 2 - red (7x3 cm);
- with the help of scissors to give the last shape of the petals;
- stretch the top edge;
- crumple the petals, just like for the poppy flower itself;
- spread them and hide a candy (a foil ball) between them.
Decorative option
We also offer an original workshop “Poppy from corrugated paper” for creating a stylized flower. It is made in the following order:
- take a pebble in black or green;
- from black beads string a number of stamens on a wire;
- connect them into a ring, which is equal to the length of the circumference of the pebble;
- a circle of the same diameter is cut out of green dense cardboard;
- a strip is cut from corrugated paper, which is equal in width to the diameter of the intended flower;
- fold it with an accordion to make a square;
- draw a circle on it;
- fasten the center crosswise with a stapler;
- cut out a circle from all layers of paper;
- make small teeth along the edge;
- they cut the circles, not reaching the center at a distance equal to the radius of the pebble;
- raise the top layer of the petals to the center and bend slightly;
- do the same with all circles;
- slightly spread the petals;
- using a glue gun, fix a pebble and a whisk with stamens in the middle;
- draw leaves on a twig on paper;
- cut it out and fold it so that streaks are obtained.
Stylized buds
Having figured out how to make poppies from corrugated paper in a decorative style, it is worth learning how to make the same unblown flowers. To create a bud you need:
- put a bead of any color on the wire and twist the latter into the stem;
- take a piece of corrugated paper and wrap it with a bead, like a lollipop;
- fix the edges with PVA glue;
- wrap the stalk with a thin strip of green corrugated paper, starting from the bead;
- fix both ends with glue.
A bouquet of half-blossomed flowers
Such a souvenir is made as follows:
- take 3 buds;
- add several turns of raffia green;
- fasten together with wire;
- raffia is cut and disassembled into small leaves;
- green corrugated paper is wound over the wire;
- fixed with PVA glue;
- twist the ends of raffia with scissors;
- from two leaves and three buds, raffia and the flower itself, poppy is harvested.
Composition
Corrugated paper poppies, the master class for the manufacture of which is presented above, can be used to create a composition. To do this, take 5-6 of these flowers with buds and put them in a small basket, covered with a beautifully draped sisal cloth. On the handle of the basket you can tie a large satin bow in red.
Now that you have a detailed workshop: “Poppy paper from corrugated paper”, you can make a beautiful gift for your beloved mother, grandmother, sister or girlfriend or a stylish decoration for your home.
