What can please more than a beautiful bouquet of bright and fresh flowers giving a feeling of happiness and positive? Such a gift will bring an excellent mood into the house and will delight you until it fades. Each time it is so pathetic that the wonderful representatives of the flora have died. But this can be easily changed if you know
how flowers are made from paper with your own hands. Perhaps they are inferior in beauty to the living, but they will always delight the person to whom they were presented. The manufacturing technique will be described below.
The simplest plant that can be made using origami is a tulip. Traditionally, it consists of two parts: a bud and a stem. The second one can be replaced with a cocktail tube or any other long thin stick, and you can also make it using the above needlework technique. So, let's start learning how to make tulips from paper with our own hands, from the scheme for creating a bud.
We determine the shade of material from which the flower head will consist. You can make it red, yellow, pink or purple. We take a square sheet of the desired color and fold it on one diagonal, then on the second, and then so that we get a rectangle. We unbend it and get the main lines, which we will use in the future for the implementation of all steps. According to the bends made, we turn the figure into the basic “double triangle” shape. Then we make a rhombus out of it - one of the most common positions in this Japanese needlework technique. On both sides of the figure we bend the edges to the
axis of symmetry and “thread” them into each other. Slightly press the base of the flower and open the petals. So, the bud is ready, and now you know how to make
flowers from paper with your own hands.
It remains to make a stalk. You can also use the origami technique to create it. We take a leaf of green color and bend it diagonally. From now on, we will take the resulting line as the axis of symmetry. We apply the sides to it, and then do the same with the opposite part of the figure. Fold the bottom edge of the form with the top, and then bend the resulting workpiece along the previously designated axis in half. It remains to pull the inner triangle and iron the resulting figure. Now you have a complete understanding of how to make flowers from paper with your own hands. The schemes of these decorations are not very complicated, so everyone can try to make them.
Do-it-yourself paper flowers are not only a great gift for any occasion and for no reason, but also eternal joy that will not fade. Such an ornament does not need to be taken care of: cut the ends, change the water, pick dry leaves ... All these problems remain with living plants, and
paper flowers with their own hands will not cause such inconvenience. You only need to look at them and enjoy the bright colors of the buds, the juicy greens of the stems and the joy that these colorful pieces of cardboard give.
Many people believe that artificial plants can not compete with living in any parameter, but this is not so, because tulips made with origami are also a very beautiful and original gift.
