How to make a tulip out of paper?
First you need to prepare the petals.
Cut six blanks for the petals. They can be any color: yellow, red, blue, pink, violet. Many handmade lovers are also advised to cut tulip petals from paper with a pattern, for example, polka dots, striped, checkered, floral. They will look very stylish. By the way, flowers from bright multi-colored clippings of newspapers or magazines are very unusual. It all depends on the interior, which they will subsequently decorate.
Next, bend the left and right side of the petal with the edges inward.
Apply paper glue to the middle bottom of the petal.
Glue the extreme parts inward to the middle. Do the same with all six petals.
As a result, the petals began to resemble false nails.
Cut out a circle of paper of the same color. In the center of it we make a small hole with a gypsy needle or awl.
Glue the finished petals with the bottom on the diameter of the circle in two layers.
The outer layer should consist of four petals, the inner one of two.
Glued? The bud is ready. Now we take the green paper, cut it into strips about 1 cm wide. We cover the strip with glue and wrap it around the wire, on which we place the bud. Here's how to make a tulip out of paper - easy and simple.
The next step is to cut out the leaves and twist them a little.
