Artificial flowers occupy a separate large niche of hand-made. Needleworkers create their masterpieces from plastic, wool, paper and fabric. Voluminous flowers from paper are most often made from tissue and corrugated paper. Masters make almost all kinds of flowers existing in nature : sakura branches, roses, lilies, magnolias, chrysanthemums, crocuses, tulips, orchids, daffodils, irises and many others. It is very difficult to distinguish some instances from real ones.
Master class “Carnations from tissue paper”
You can make a bouquet of cute carnations with your own hands from tissue paper in one evening. It will completely replace a bouquet of real flowers. Beautiful voluminous flowers made of paper will be forgiven longer, and nature will be preserved.
You will need:
- cigarette paper;
- scissors;
- nippers;
- tape tape;
- 2 large paper clips;
- wire;
- colored markers or markers
Make the required size template. Instead, you can pick up any round object. Best if it will be 7.5 centimeters in diameter. Fold the tissue paper in a few words, circle with a pencil. To create five carnations will require about 50 paper circles.
Cut the folded paper. Use stationery clips so that the layers do not move when cutting.
Take markers in bright colors. Circle a felt pen around the edge of the blanks cut and assembled into clamps. Periodically gently move the clamps to paint over all edges of the workpiece.
Remove the clips and count out several circles for one flower. You can take 8-10 pieces, but if you use 12-16, then voluminous flowers from paper will look more magnificent.
Holding all the circles together, poke two holes in the center of the circle. Through one of them, wind the wire, bend its tip and bring it through the other hole. Firmly (but not to break) pull the short end. Then twist the tips together.
We make the petals. Separate the top circle and squeeze the paper in any shape around the center, without touching the edges. Repeat the procedure with each circle. The more accurately you do this, the more beautiful voluminous paper flowers will turn out to be.
Wrap each wire stalk with green tape.
Everything, a bouquet of carnations is ready!
Master class “Chrysanthemum from corrugated paper”
To get large flowers from corrugated paper, prepare seven sheets of paper of different colors (25 by 75 cm), scissors, wire, stationery clips.
Fold each sheet with an accordion; the width of the strip is 7 cm. Fasten with clips. Arrange in the order in which the petals in the flower will be arranged. Now cut a little more from each blank than from the previous one so that the blank for the lower petals is the longest. Make the edges rounded or pointed. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work out very smoothly.
Cut along the folds to clamp each workpiece on both sides.
Expand all the blanks and lay down the largest, on top of it - the one that is slightly smaller, and so on. Pull tightly in the center with wire.
Slowly and accurately straighten and stretch to the center all the petals in turn. Start with the shortest. Then wrap some twisted wires together with tape to make a stem for this big chrysanthemum
Bouquets of corrugated paper can decorate your home no worse than other decor items. They can also be an original element of theme parties.
