Of course, fresh flowers do not cease to amaze with their perfection. But, unfortunately, beautiful bouquets cannot please for too long with freshness and fragrance. Instead, you can revive the interior with the original composition, which for a long time will be the decoration of the room. To do this, try to craft something with your own hands, for example, from paper. There are many ways to make the queen of flowers - roses. Consider the two most affordable and simple. The following describes how to make paper roses easily — plain and corrugated.
Creating a voluminous composition of buds
It is more traditional to make a standard bouquet of several flowers on stems with leaves (photo 1). This method will be presented later in this article in the description of the work with corrugated paper. But try to make something unusual as well. The composition will look very original in the form of many small buds that are fixed on a base cut out in the shape of a disk (photo 2). The composition can be formed in two types - flat and three-dimensional. In the first case, all the flowers will be on the same level. But a voluminous craft looks more extravagant. So, we will consider in detail how to easily make a rose out of paper.
Used material and tools
To work, you need simple colored paper. At the same time, it should be sufficiently dense and colored on both sides. The color scheme can be completely different. But the best option, of course, is the choice of shades from pale pink to purple-burgundy. For the layout, prepare a simple pencil, ruler and scissors. During the manufacture of the buds and for fixing them on the basis of quick-drying glue (such as "Moment"). As the “frame” of the craft, it is best to use cardboard material that will hold its shape well when securing paper products of a certain weight on it. This is especially worth considering if you choose the technology of manufacturing volumetric crafts. In addition to the total mass, an inner layer is added. For him, you can take everything that is suitable at hand (taking into account the need for further rolling it into a roller): a piece of fabric, padding polyester, soft paper or newspapers. An excellent solution would be to cut the blank of the desired shape from the foam, which is a very light material. The final element of the composition is a light wide tape on which the product is hung on the wall.
How to make a rose out of paper easily? The technology of manufacturing buds
- Cut a square from a sheet of paper.
- Then, marking the point in the center, begin to draw a spiral line. In this case, the distance between the sides of the turns should be approximately 1.5-2 cm.
- Cut the workpiece in a line. In the center, leave a small circle untouched (photo 3).
- Start twisting the bud from the outer end, fitting the tape tightly into the cylinder.
- After the flower has fully formed, loosen the layers a little.
- In conclusion, glue the middle part of the tape from the bottom to the resulting product to fix the shape.
- Make as many buds as needed to fill the free space based on the craft.
As you can see, roses are made of paper very simply. It’s very easy to do the work in stages, isn't it?
Design composition
Having prepared the required number of flowers (photo 4), proceed to the assembly of the craft. To do this, first make a base from cardboard (or from packing crates) in the form of a circle of the required size (50-60 cm). Then cut a hole with a diameter of 10-15 cm inside it. After that, firmly fix the bulk layer on the base (rolled up synthetic winterizer, paper, etc.), and begin to glue the blank with flowers. Sprinkle the finished composition with glitter varnish and tie with tape. As you can see, this description of how to make a rose easily out of paper will help to make an original craft even for a child. The main thing is to follow the instructions of the presented instructions and apply a little effort and patience.
How to make flowers from corrugated paper (roses)?
More plausible is a bouquet made using another technology. Prepare pink and yellow corrugated paper, pencil, scissors, glue and thread for your work. Also, for the stem of the rose, you will need wire and paper in green shades. On pink paper, draw several petal-sized templates of various sizes, cut them out, and then make the desired number of flowers from the samples (photo 5). And make yellow “stamens” from yellow - a rectangle of several layers, incised on one side in the form of a fringe. As a rule, in order for the flower to turn out to be magnificent, at least 20 different petals are required. Then begin the phased assembly of the flower - from inserting the center to the gradual receipt of the bud by layering the petals (photo 6). The buds of paper roses after full formation are fixed at the bottom in a circle with threads and decorated with green paper. At the beginning of work, you can immediately put a wire in the middle - the future stem.
Bouquet design
Using green paper, make leaves. Then, starting from the bottom, with a long strip of cooked wire, wrap the wire, moving in a spiral. Closer to the bud, place a few leaves a short distance from each other. Make at least 5-7 flowers, each of which may differ from the previous size. Compositions of fully opened flowers look very natural in combination with buds that have not yet fully opened. Such an original bouquet of roses from paper will decorate any interior. And the final touch may be the “aromatization” of the composition - sprinkle the flowers with your favorite perfume. Indescribable beauty!
