Who does not know what the modest snow-white flowers are called, the first blooming in spring in a forest or garden? Of course, these are cute and touching snowdrops, known to us from the children's tale of Samuel Marshak. White flowers bloom even when the snow has not completely melted. First, they release their green leaves, and only then bright bells appear. That is why the flowers were called snowdrops. They are not afraid of cold and snow, although, at first glance, they seem very fragile and vulnerable.
Snowdrop cake
Snow-white plants are the favorite colors of decorators. They decorate vases, walls of rooms and even cakes. After all, paper flowers do not care what time they bloom. But these white "angels" will definitely not leave your guests indifferent. Make snowdrops of paper with your own hands on a cake with your children, and an elegant meadow will blossom right on your holiday table. Of course, flowers cannot be eaten, but minutes of bliss from contemplation of amazing beauty are surely provided to you, guests and your children.
How to make a snowdrop out of paper?
1. First of all, you need to prepare all the necessary attributes. You will need white crepe or tissue paper for the bud, corrugated paper for the leaves, wire for the stem, as well as scissors and a green ribbon or scotch tape. Paper can be replaced with satin or silk fabric.
2. To form the bud, you need to fold a rectangle of white crepe paper in three layers and cut off the corners to make jagged edges. Now you can expand the future craft. Think about how many flowers will fit on your clearing cake. Let's say 15 snow-white plants. So, you need to make 15 blanks for buds.
3. Now we will do each snowdrop from paper separately. To do this, take the white blank with its teeth and wrap it around a piece of colored wire. Its length should correspond to the height of the flower. Enough 15-20 centimeters. Crepe paper should be secured with floral tape or green tape. Continue to wind the selected material to the base, forming snowdrops from paper with your own hands.
4. This procedure should be repeated with all other flower blanks. Now we have to revive each flower with beautiful leaves. To do this, you need to prepare wide strips of corrugated paper of about 2-3 centimeters, cut the corners so that the shape of long thin leaves is obtained. It is necessary to make 30 blanks, 2 for each snowdrop. Now you need to attach the leaves to the stem, securing the tape.
5. Bend the stalk of each plant so that the flower slightly tilts its “head” down. Gently shape the petals of each bud. Now your snowdrops made of paper with your own hands are ready.
6. It remains to revive our clearing by sticking all the flowers in the finished cake. To make the product look more effective, cut large chocolate eggs and decorate the cake with them. Sprinkle paper snowdrops with confectionery sugar to make the cake turn into a snowy meadow.
