Application flower template. Patterns and stencils of flowers for cutting
There are many ways to give the walls of your interior a beautiful and original look. One of the most spectacular ways to decorate is to paint flowers on the wall. In order to decorate the walls to your taste, it is not necessary to invite a professional artist or be able to draw yourself, you can do it much easier - use flower stencils to paint on the walls.
The use of stencils with floral arrangements is recommended for those who want to radically change, refresh and update their interior. Decorate the walls with flower drawings using stencils, and the interior of your apartment will become more stylish and fashionable.
If you want to create a corner of wildlife in your home, then you can opt for stencils of flowers and butterflies.
Drawings of flowers on the wall will look beautiful both in ordinary apartments and in expensive luxury apartments. Colorful and picturesque roses, tulips, poppies, chrysanthemums, gerberas and daisies will enliven the interior, give it zest and individuality, and butterflies fluttering over the flowers will create an effect of lightness and airiness.
The main types of stencils
Depending on the method of application, stencils of flowers on the wall are direct and reverse. The latter type of stencils is used less frequently than the first. A straight stencil, or template, is a sheet with a flower pattern cut out on it.
Using a direct stencil, you can create an elegant and beautiful pattern. They push him against the wall and sponge, brush or roller apply paint to the cut out part, thereby transferring the pattern of flowers to the surface of the wall.
A reverse stencil of flowers on a wall is the complete opposite of a direct template. In order to make a reverse stencil, it is necessary to cut the flowers strictly along the contour.
Drawings of flowers using a reverse stencil are applied to the wall very simply - we apply a stencil of flowers to the wall and paint over the space around it with paint.
Then, when the paint dries, it is necessary to remove the stencil, as a result we will get clear drawings of flowers, bouquets or floral ornaments on the wall. The reverse pattern of flowers is convenient to use on large areas.
Wall stencils are complex and simple. Complex stencils are such stencils when a pattern is created using paints of different colors, and simple stencils, on the contrary, are a pattern made with paint of the same color.
Exist volumetric stencils, which are performed using putty or decorative plaster. In order to make a three-dimensional stencil, you should take a ready-made stencil of flowers and butterflies for cutting, putty (it is better if you use decorative plaster instead of putty) and a spatula.
We choose a place on the wall where the future three-dimensional drawing of flowers will be placed, and glue the finished cut-out stencil of flowers and butterflies there on masking tape. Now, using a spatula, carefully apply decorative plaster to the fixed template and wait for it to dry a little.
Important! You should not wait for the plaster to dry completely, otherwise you will not be able to remove the stencil from the wall later.
After the plaster dries a little, you should carefully separate the stencil of flowers and butterflies from the wall. Again we are waiting for the three-dimensional drawing to dry completely on the wall. After the decorative plaster has completely dried with the help of a skin, it is necessary to grind the surface of the three-dimensional pattern.
If you want flowers and butterflies to look more impressive in a three-dimensional drawing, paint it with acrylic paints of different colors and shades.
Flower stencils on the wall, depending on the use, are disposable and reusable. Disposable - these are stencils that are designed to perform only one drawing, that is, at one time.
Disposable flower stencils for painting on walls can be purchased at any building and finishing materials store. This type of floral patterns is produced on adhesive bases, so they are simple and easy to use and are in great demand and popularity.
Reusable stencils are designed for repeated use, they can also be purchased at the store or made by yourself. Reusable wall-cut flower stencils are usually used to create a repeating pattern of flowers - rapport.
This type does not have an adhesive base, and is attached to the wall using double-sided masking tape.
With the help of disposable and reusable stencils of flowers and butterflies for painting on the walls, you can create a large number of different patterns on the wall.
Do-it-yourself flower stencil on the wall
Do you like to craft and do everything yourself? Then you should definitely try to make a stencil of flowers and butterflies on the wall with your own hands. Undoubtedly, the easiest way is to buy ready-made stencils of flowers and butterflies for the wall. However, it is not always possible to find ready-made samples of color templates in stores that are suitable for your interior.
If you decide to make a stencil of flowers on the wall with your own hands, then the first thing you need to do is to choose your favorite flower patterns. You can use the Internet, find any drawings of flowers and butterflies that you like in the search and print them using a printer.
You printed the drawing of flowers, but you have it on plain paper, which can become sour and deteriorate from dyes. Therefore it is worth transfer the flower pattern to moisture resistant material.
Of course, you can buy special material for making flower stencils for cutting on the wall, but you can also use improvised materials, such as tracing paper or parchment paper.
The next step is to transfer the color pattern from plain paper to a denser material. This procedure can be performed using carbon paper (carbon paper). If you don't have it you can attach a drawing of flowers and a blank for a stencil to the window glass(it should be light outside) and transfer the image.
Now the most difficult process is cutting. In order to cut a stencil of flowers, birds, butterflies, you need to use scissors, a blade or a cutter. Scissors can cut large parts, and small ones can be cut with a blade. Carefully cut out drawings of flowers and butterflies around the office. A little patience - and the stencil of flowers and butterflies on the wall is ready.
DIY ready-made stencil of flowers and butterflies attach it to the wall you want to decorate and secure it with masking tape. Do not be afraid that masking tape will ruin your walls and leave traces on them; this is a glass-woven adhesive tape that is designed for various painting and painting works.
The main advantage of masking tape is that it easily peels off the walls and leaves no residue after use.
After fixing the stencil on the wall, we proceed to the choice of paint. It is best to opt for acrylic paints. The advantage of acrylic paints is that they are very wear-resistant to various types of physical and chemical influences and are easy to use. They do not spread, dry quickly (in about 3-4 hours) and do not fade from ultraviolet rays.
Acrylic paints do not contain substances harmful to health, which is very important, especially when there are small children in the apartment. They do not have sharp unpleasant odors, do not burn or explode, and most importantly, they are environmentally friendly.
You can apply acrylic paints on any surface: wallpaper of various types, drywall, plaster.
We have decided on the type of paint, now we need to choose the right colors for painting on the walls. The choice of color depends on the color scheme of your interior and on the image of the future flower pattern.
If you have chosen to decorate your wall with drawings of flowers and butterflies, then you should opt for bright colors. Let it be yellow, pink, blue, green, orange and red.
We draw on the walls
Having chosen the type of paint and color scheme for your future drawing, we proceed to the most crucial moment - drawing on the walls. Paint should be applied either with a brush or sponge. The brush should have short, stiff bristles.
We slightly moisten the brush or sponge in the paint, it is desirable that they be semi-dry, otherwise the paint may spread and you will ruin the wall, and you will not get clear flower drawings on the wall.
If the drawing consists of different colors, then it is necessary to wait until one color dries, and only then apply another.
Before you start painting flowers and butterflies on the walls, you should practice on some unnecessary surface. Be sure to prepare an unnecessary towel or piece of cloth in advance, as you will need to remove excess paint from the template and brush.
Advice. Try to apply paint to the stencil of flowers evenly at the same angle and with the same intensity.
The paint can be applied not only with a brush and sponge, but also with a roller. This method of drawing a picture is suitable for working with paint of the same color. The roller must be made of a dense material that does not absorb paint. The roller has disadvantages: for example, when painting with a roller, the pattern may not be painted over in hard-to-reach places.
For small holes in the stencil, a sponge is suitable. Sponge is the most versatile material for drawing on the wall. After you have applied a pattern of flowers and butterflies to the wall using a stencil, and the paint has dried, gently separate the stencil from the wall with light movements.
Having done all this laborious process, you will be able to admire the drawings of flowers and butterflies on the walls in your interior.
Options for use in the interior of rooms
The living room is perhaps the most important and most important room in any home. Stencils of flowers and flower arrangements are perfect for decorating the walls of the living room.
The color scheme of the drawings can be any. Pastel shades will look very advantageous; black and white options are suitable for a modern or high-tech interior.
In addition to the walls, in the living room, using a stencil of flowers, you can also decorate the ceiling, for example, around the chandelier.
Stencils of flowers for drawing on the walls will transform the interior of the living room, make it bright and different from others, and also create an atmosphere of coziness and comfort.
In the bedroom, you should select stencils with drawings that will be associated with wildlife: stencils of flowers and butterflies can be used to decorate the wall at the head of the bed - this is the most suitable place for decoration.
The color scheme for drawing flowers on the wall should be selected to match the textile design of the bedroom.
In addition to walls, you can also decorate furniture with a stencil of flowers for drawing in the bedroom. Drawings of flowers on the wall will look great in the interior of the bedroom in country style.
In the children's room, stencils of flowers and butterflies will help create an atmosphere of fabulousness and magic in the interior. If you decide to decorate the walls in the children's room with bright pictures with hand-drawn butterflies and flowers, use bright, colorful and saturated colors for this, but "poisonous".
It will be interesting for your child to make a stencil of flowers and butterflies for cutting out with your own hands and paint the walls in his room with fun drawings.
Clear drawings on the walls will transform the interior of your apartment, make it colorful and unique, because this is a great opportunity to radically change the interior of the apartment. The drawings stenciled onto the wall are amazing.
Wall stencils are the easiest and most original way to decorate walls in living quarters. Decorate your walls with taste and feel like an artist!
Greetings, dear readers and visitors! I have repeatedly written that I love decorating gifts in the most unexpected ways. And today I suggest you make paper flowers with your own hands. Already twenty-odd methods, by the way.
Now, unfortunately, I rarely get to mass gift wrapping. Moreover, every year there are more and more acquaintances and friends who should be congratulated along with relatives. It's very joyful! I love giving presents. But if I choose them very carefully, then lately I pack them in organza bags, since I decide on detailed packaging only for single holidays (like birthdays).
However, my passion for various kinds of packaging beauty is difficult to overcome, so today I will train with you to make beautiful flowers according to step-by-step schemes.
DIY paper flowers: simple and with a twist
There will be a lot of master classes, get ready. Good news for all rose lovers: there will be 4 of them.
Aster
Guys, honestly, I'm not very strong in the names of colors. So if you see a clear discrepancy for you - write in the comments.
So, the first in line is the aster. For her, cut out five circles: two large, two medium and one very small. Fold each circle in half three times, then draw the edge as in the 4th photo. After unfolding the design, squeeze each petal to add volume. Fold all the circles into each other and decorate the middle.
Almost calendula
This flower is much more like a packing bow. Prepare for it a square of paper of the desired length and cut the edges according to step 2. You will need several such blanks. Lay them one on top of the other and squeeze in the center, tightening with wire or thread.
Now the most important thing is to straighten the petals so that you get a beautiful likeness of a flower. Accordingly, the more layers, the more petals and the more magnificent the flower in the end.
Tip: make several of these flowers of different sizes and glue them on the packaging next to each other, then you get a beautiful semblance of a bouquet.
Calla
To create calla lilies, you can use both ordinary double-sided paper and foamed rubber (here I wrote what it is - in the section about the minion).
For calla lilies, take a stamen (you can crumple it out of paper or make it out of polymer clay) and a petal made in the shape of a heart. Insert the stamen into the petal, fold the edges of the petal over the stamen, gluing them together. It remains only to unscrew the edges to get the maximum resemblance to calla lilies.
Such flowers are well suited for postcards, packaging, and as an independent gift in the form of a bouquet.
Bell
The master class for the bell is quite simple and understandable. Cut out the blank according to the first photo. Glue the edges of it, and gently straighten the ends. To make everything look natural, make the middle of several oblong stamens that will need to be glued inside the flower.
Of these bells, by the way, it will be great to decorate the packaging for March 8 or just a spring birthday.
lilies of the valley
Well, or something similar. For one flower, take a long rectangle and bend the edge of it, as in the photo. Cut the wide part so that you get a lot of small strips. Using scissors, twist the strips (to do this, you just need to run the sharp side of the scissors along these strips, slightly pressing the blade against them).
To prevent the flower from falling apart, take a rod on which you wind a green strip. Then, from above, begin to gently twist the “flower” part, previously smeared with glue. Apply layers tightly so that greenery does not show through from under them.
But it’s not at all difficult to make green leaves - for them, just fold a rectangle of green paper with an accordion and cut the edges with a “triangle”. When unfolded, you will get a lot of green leaves ready to be glued to the base.
Poppy
Now let's use corrugated paper. Cut out about ten teardrop-shaped petals from it. Stretch the wide part so that the blanks resemble mushrooms.
Take a thin wire and wind some paper around it - this will be the core. Wind the petals onto this core so that each slightly overlaps the previous one. When everything is ready, the structure can be pulled down below so that it does not fall apart.
The master class shows how this flower can be attached to a festive cap, but believe me, a poppy will look great on a gift box.
Red flower
What kind of species does he have? No associations came to mind. But this is not the point - to create it, you will need about ten petals (corrugated paper is used, by the way). Their shape is almost drop-shaped. but with a cut end.
Cut out a base circle from thick cardboard. Glue all the petals in layers to this circle, slightly crumpling (doubting? God, how right: _D) the bases, thus forming folds - then the flower will be more voluminous and “fluffy”. Decorate the center with some button or bead.
Such a flower, by the way, will look great from soft felt - so it will gain durability. And if you attach the base for the brooch at the back, you get two in one - a gift decoration and a gift itself.
Extravaganza of color
There are only two flowers, but due to the bright combinations, a very unusual effect is obtained. Take the crepe paper again, cut out a circle and fold it into a chrysalis shape. Cut a “skirt” to it, which you wrap around the chrysalis. Attach the petals on top, gluing them in a circle. Glue two wide leaves at the base.
The second flower is quite simple - cut the fringe and twist it into several layers. Flowers are very simple, they can make a very interesting gift arrangement.
Unseen flower
To prepare the basis for this flower, I advise you to look here - here the basis for the second Christmas tree is created in the same way. But then the differences begin - each of the corners must be wrapped with a thick wire or knitting needle so that a spiral is obtained.
You can leave this design alone, but I suggest you connect several (say, three) pieces using the existing spirals - the wow effect is provided. Then you can also experiment - combine elements with spirals into unprecedented designs.
Tip: going to a Japanese-style party? Then make such a flower of a very large size and take it with you - it will serve as an excellent decoration for the chandelier.
Pion
“Pio-, pio-, peonies are given by a new acquaintance ...” - the words from the song of the underground group “My Michelle” (I often listen to it lately, inspired). We will make crafts from corrugated paper. You will need five sizes of petals, approximately five copies of each (appearance as in the photo).
Stretch the petals so that you get a semblance of a wave (for both large and small ones). Then form a stamen from the same corrugated paper by folding the paper with further compaction. You can do this on a wire skewer, or you can do it without it.
Glue the petals onto the finished stamen, overlapping each subsequent previous one. Do not tighten the petal too much. At the end, it remains only to cut the green leaves and stick them around the peony.
4 in 1: dandelion, carnation, aster, chamomile
All these wonderful creations of nature are made according to the same principle - cutting the edge of the strip from which the flower will be made. The final shape of the flower also depends on the shape of the cut. Keep in mind that some require a core, while others do not.
Please note: despite the very simple design, the flowers are very realistic. If there is very little time for production, then this is an ideal option.
Experiment and discover your unprecedented plants - be sure to tell us what happened.
paper roses
Magic roses are one of my favorite flowers.
Rose with twisted edge
The main difficulty here is to carefully twist the edge of the corrugated paper, straightening the folds. Then make sure that the folds are even. Now twist the strip so that the layers fit snugly together. At the end, fasten with a thread, cut off the excess.
simple rosette
Need to make a plant in five minutes? Then this rose is for you! Just cut out a circle in which draw a spiral. Cut out a spiral like in the photo and twist the rose starting from the longest link of the spiral (the central part will serve as the base).
big rose
Even gigantic, if you follow just such dimensions. Heart petals are stretched and superimposed on each other in a circle with fixing with glue. Green petals are attached at the end. Of course, the flower does not have to be as big as in the photo - start from your preferences.
Twisted paper rose
Once I already described this way of creating a rose (here is the second one). The principle is exactly the same, but the dimensions of the triangles resulting from twisting must be the same along the entire length of the tape, otherwise there will be a not very neat flower.
Once she even made a Rosemary doll, which took part in the city exhibition. Her whole body was covered with roses, made just in this way (the roses were from ribbons, really).
Clover
I will only show you how to make the base for a four leaf clover. To do this, take a square of paper and fold it in half lengthwise and in half again. Bend the ends to the center. Cut out a heart from the resulting design. The result will be exactly what we wanted - a happy flower.
Nameless
As much as I puffed up, I could not give an intelligible name. As a result, Tovariz remained just a beautiful flower, reminiscent of kanzashi motifs (Japanese art of making jewelry from satin ribbons).
The beginning here is the same as in clover. But after bending the edges, it will be necessary to bend the ends so that the length of the bent part is equal to the length of the visible side in the middle. Then these parts are straightened and their edges are already bent so that the sides are even. They are again bent and glued so that three stamens are obtained. There should be three such petals.
Most of all, such a flower is suitable for decorating a gift in the Japanese style.
And again aster
This time, you already need to glue the petals around the edge until you reach the desired volume. Decorate the center as you wish, or simply fill it with as many petals as possible.
On this large flower review, I declare it closed. I hope you have found exactly the option that will help you decorate the best gift. See you soon, subscribe and share with your friends!
Sincerely, Anastasia Skoreva
Hello everyone, today we are publishing a selection of pictures with black and white patterns of leaves. Beautiful autumn leaf stencils will help you create crafts on the theme of Autumn. All leaf stencils already tightened to the size of a standard A4 sheet- this will make it easier for you to prepare templates for printing. Pictures with the contours of autumn leaves will help teachers organize art classes (drawing, modeling, appliqué). Here are collected variety leaf patterns - maple, oak, birch, alder leaves. And also, along the way, I suggest to you ready-made ideas for crafts with these stencils and templates.
All pictures WILL LARGE - if you click on them.
Leaf patterns
The contours of the MAPLE leaf.
Maple leaf is the most beautiful. Its carved shape with pentagonal protrusions, its bright autumn color makes it the king of all autumn crafts. We offer you several types of maple leaves in clear and large patterns.
All pictures are presented in an enlarged format (up to A4 sheet size). You can see the actual size of the picture if you click on it with the mouse button. 
The maple leaf template can serve as a stencil for a wide variety of crafts. Here is one of the interesting ideas AUTUMN GARLAND. We take an ordinary white New Year's garland, wrap white diode lamps with yellow transparent tape (duct tape). And from yellow plastic (sold in sheets in hardware stores), we cut out the contours of maple leaves. We fix them next to the diode bulbs.
A variety of forms of maple leaf patterns ... with even smooth edges and ragged carved. 
5 
You can print maple leaf drawings on sheets for drawing classes with children. Their task will be to glue the leaves with plasticine pellets (autumn flowers - orange, yellow, red) ... or paint the leaves with wax crayons. The colors of the crayons can be mixed by rubbing them with your fingers on the paper. 
You can come up with absolutely any coloring for your maple leaf template. Let it be patterns or stripes or round spots.
Young children will love this smiling autumn leaf. This template can be painted with watercolors - the eyes and smile will show through the watercolor. 
OAK leaf patterns.
with stomachs.
Oak leaves look beautiful in crafts. Here are beautiful large oak leaf templates for you. As well as black and white drawings of acorns with caps.
It is convenient to paint such large leaf patterns with a gouache brush. Children will love this drawing activity. The contours and veins of the leaves can later be circled with black gouache for contrast. 
On the basis of such template stencils with oak leaves, you can make beautiful crafts for drawing or clipping appliqué.
How to make crafts with oak leaves (pictured below) I told in the article
Here are beautiful oak leaf patterns with large acorns. It is very convenient to print this coloring book for children in kindergarten and use it in art classes.
Leaf patterns.
Autumn leaf fall.
Here are some more beautiful leaf patterns from other trees. Clear contour silhouettes of autumn leaves will be a source of bright crafts for applications.
Chestnut leaf pattern. Beautifully color it in golden yellow with a reddish-brown border around the edges.
The contours of an ash leaf - this leaf turns bright yellow in autumn. Like a sun.
The composition looks beautiful in the form of autumn leaf fall - patterns of leaves flying in the wind. Each leaf can be made a different shade of autumn.
You can add patterns of other gifts of autumn to our autumn assortment of leaves - pumpkin, corn, acorns. 
Here is a coloring template with small leaves. Suitable for coloring with pencils.
DIY Stencils
in engineering
STRIPED COLORING.
The coloring of silhouettes using the CONTRAST STRIP method looks very nice. That is, we take the usual coloring with leaf patterns and draw straight lines over the picture under the ruler. And then we color all the objects on the sheet, alternating these linear zones in color.
In the example below, we see that the coloring is drawn using a compass (with round lines) - but it is not necessary that your lines can be made to fit a straight school ruler.
Here are suitable leaf patterns that you can draw in stripes (straight or arc stripes) and then color in the same style. Alternating pencils from stripe to stripe and using different colors for the background areas and different colors for the leaf areas.
Leaf patterns
for SECTOR COLORING.
Very beautiful crafts on the theme of autumn will turn out if the autumn leaf template is divided into sectors and each sector is painted separately with close shades of the palette or vice versa with contrasting colors.
It turns out the feeling of STAINED GLASS ... as if the picture is made up of multi-colored glass. But in fact, this is an ordinary watercolor, or crayons, or a pencil (your choice).
As you can see, everything is simple. We take a sheet template - we divide it into sectors. each sector is painted over with its own color (it is possible with smooth transitions with spills of shades from one to another) And then we circle the entire contour of the sheet along the edges with a clear color.
To facilitate your work, I give TEMPLATES of leaves with ALREADY READY sector sawing.
You can simply print out these pictures and hand them out to the children and offer to color each sector with crayons of a different color. To make coloring faster, you do not need to change the crayon in your hand every time you move to a new sector. Show the children that it will be faster if you first take a red crayon and color them in 5-7 different sectors (not neighboring ones, but randomly). Then take a yellow chalk and also randomly fill in 5-7 other sectors. It will be faster, and you will meet the time frame of the activity class.
Large leaf patterns can be filled with a thin brush with watercolor or gouache (such as the stencil below).
Leaf patterns
for APPLICATIONS
In kindergarten, leaf templates can be used as stencils for applications on an autumn theme.
Such colored paper leaves can become a background or decor for any application (mushrooms in the leaves or a hedgehog in an autumn meadow).
You can fold a paper autumn wreath from such contours - a collective craft in kindergarten (the older group can already cut out leaf shapes with scissors).
Beautiful leaf patterns
for coloring books.
In kindergarten or in an adult office, they like to color in large anti-stress coloring pages. So I found specially templates for such coloring pages from autumn leaves.
The picture is enlarged in large size if you click on it with the mouse.
Also, to help educators and teachers of elementary grades, I give bare tree patterns for crafts on the theme AUTUMN TREE.
- You can add leaves to these trees using gouache and prints wide brush, using fingerprints, cotton swab prints.
- You can cut small leaves from colored paper and glue them on a tree.
- You can add bright splashes of paint to tree branches using toothbrush.
- You can smear the crown with PVA glue and sprinkle with salt and then paint this salty crust with gouache (you get a beautiful texture of autumn foliage)
Here are some more beautiful fall-themed templates. Fly agaric mushrooms and a squirrel on a branch. Your kids will love these fall coloring pages.
And finally, I give you an AUTUMN HEART FROM LEAVES - a beautiful template for bright coloring.
Here are such interesting craft ideas and a variety of clear leaf patterns that I have prepared for you in this fall article. May autumn be bright and give a rich harvest of your crafts.
Olga Klishevskaya, specially for the site
Now I will tell you step by step about making a template (stencil) for cutting a flower.
It seems like the Internet is at hand, but we need to cut flowers for paper garlands or for decorating a wall newspaper, but we can’t find the desired form of templates anywhere.
So, we will make a template (stencil) on our own. In addition, this lesson is just on my topic: the development of fine motor skills of hands and the eye of children. Let's not miss this amazing opportunity.
A flower can have a different number of petals - cruciferous ones have four, buttercups have six, and jasmine has eight. But the Rosaceae have five (or a multiple of five), and the Rosaceae are prestige. So we will produce exactly the five-petal pattern.
Such a flower fits into a circle.
Ouch! But we do not have a compass at hand.
Not a problem - I will get the circumference by circling around the edge of my favorite rescue cup. We sculpted her, we gave tea to an elephant from her, now she is a sponsor of a circle for a flower.
But. But when working with a circle, we must start from the center. And where is he here? I put a dot by eye and check whether all radii are equal. Hey me! - almost ten.
I will draw the middle of the flower - a small circle and by eye I will divide the circle into five sectors. And without a protractor - again by eye.
And now let's check how accurate our eye is: we will make an angle out of paper and by applying it we will check whether all five angles are equal.
So, what didn’t fit - we’ll correct it. Now let's write a petal in each sector.
This is a sketch, for now we just want to decide on the shape of the petals. Let's say let it be teardrop-shaped. I fold the same corner of paper in half and draw a half-petal.
I cut it out - here is the template for a separate petal.
I apply and wrap. Now it is important to rotate the picture several times, carefully comparing the petals, to make sure that everything is fine, there are no distortions. I made the drawing on paper.
And the template must be strong and rigid. Yeah, I'll have to cut it out and circle it on cardboard.
Now I turn again and look - exactly. And then after all, with all these cutting-outlines, errors inevitably arise.
Look - the student drew a flower well, but he hurried, casually cut it out - please, and the template turned out to be multi-petalled. So, quality control is needed at every stage of work!
So, I double-checked my template and now it's time to take on the flowers. Let's reread it first and try to distribute the flowers sparingly on the sheet. On a standard A4 sheet, it turned out like this.
Good afternoon, today I'm finally uploading a large selection of master classes on the theme of paper flowers. Here are the most interesting ways to make paper flowers. We will make a variety of flowers - flat and voluminous - from corrugated paper and from thick colored paper. I will show each craft step by step in photos and give the most detailed instructions to each flower made in one way or another. And also ladies stencils- patterns of silhouettes of flowers. All the crafts I have collected are posted in order from simple to complex. First of all, we will take the MOST UNDERSTANDING techniques for folding paper flowers (those that are easy to understand and repeat ourselves) ... and gradually move on to MORE COMPLEX and painstaking instructions (to prefabricated detailed flowers and to the origami technique). I also uploaded a special article on different ways to make a paper rose - here is a link to it
As well as, for teachers (teachers and educators) I made an article with simple children's crafts FLOWERS that can be made in the classroom at school and kindergarten from paper and other materials:
I specifically decided to so big a selection of paper flowers in one place - so that you can immediately find a suitable flower assembly scheme for THE PAPER THAT YOU HAVE, and for the task that you want to solve with the help of paper flowers birthday party with voluminous flower arrangements, wedding decoration, decoration of postcards or gift bags).
The only thing that I did not include in the body of this article is ROSES FROM PAPER. I found ways to make a voluminous rose so much that I had to put these crafts in a separate article on the same site, it will be called "Paper roses - 20 ways to do it yourself."
But before proceeding to the master classes themselves, I want to make you fall in love with the very idea of paper flowers. I want even random guests of this web page to itch their hands and light up their eyes. And I want to awaken in you delight and a burning desire to make a flower with your own hands. For this magic to arise ... so that your soul also spreads its petals and blooms ...
Let's see what piece of life the flower you made can decorate. Here are examples of how an ordinary table setting can become very beautiful and solemn with lush floral crafts.
Also, large paper flowers made of crepe or corrugated paper are used for decorative purposes. to decorate a celebration- a wedding hall, a children's birthday party, an incendiary party. They are mounted on the wall or on the backs of chairs, tied to window handles.
But such large flowers can be made from A4 paper (office size) or from a roll of corrugated crepe paper.
Photographers and photo studios also use voluminous large paper flowers as exclusive props for staged photos.
And you can also make such a large paper flower simply - as a gift for Mother's Day, or on March 8th. No one has ever given something like this to your mother. Will be remembered for a long time. And you can also take a picture of your mother right away with this flower - she will proudly post this photo on her page in the social network.
Ordinary plastic combs, rims and metal hairpins can also be decorated with voluminous paper flowers. So we'll get smart hair accessories for a wedding or party.
Miniature paper flowers can decorate handmade postcards, and other scrapbooking crafts (like these delicate crepe paper pansies).
Also, a handmade paper flower is the best gift box decoration. And not costly. A fluffy gift ribbon costs much more than a pair of sheets of colored or white office paper - a few scissors swipes and a paper orchid or a delicate pink wild rosehip has blossomed on your packaging.
And the flowers themselves can be great standalone gift. If you arrange your work in the form of a basket, or a decorative panel (as in the photo with poppies made of colored paper).
If you learn how to make paper flowers with your own hands, you can use this talent in many areas of life. It will become simple and easy for you to decorate the hall for any holiday, decorate a home family celebration or beautifully arrange gifts for relatives and friends, or entertain the neighbor's kids by organizing an interesting craft with a master class.
METHOD #1
Paper FLOWERS
Flowers made in this way, I decided to call "puffs", because their construction principle is the same as that of puff pastry. Thin layers of floral silhouettes overlap each other. And each layer is given convex volume(or faceted relief), and due to this, the flower looks lush and voluminous.
Here in the photo below we see a step-by-step master class for beginners on creating such a voluminous dahlia flower. It is the dahlia - not to be confused with the aster, the aster has narrower petals and each has a face (a embossed fold like on trousers).
So ... let's look carefully at the photo of the flower craft below. Here the trick is that they are cut from paper layer outlines- each circuit has six petals, and is different from its counterparts only in size. That is, the shape of the stencil is the same - only the size is different.
Before gluing, each cut paper arch silhouette in order to give it a natural form. We start gluing and assembling the paper dahlia from small middle layers to bigger and bigger ones.
Of course, you have a QUESTION:“And how to cut such even-sized petal circles-layers.
ANSWER: Here is the most easy and fast way to make such a flower with the hands of a novice master. It does not require searching for a stencil template, but allows you to get geometrically even petal details for a paper flower without any measuring instruments (compasses and rulers).
- We take a sheet of paper and glasses and glasses different radius. Draw them on a sheet of paper.
- We cut out the resulting rounds, fold each round in four and in half again (as when cutting a snowflake). And on such a circle folded into a triangle we draw outlines of two petals (like a heart).
- We cut this contour with scissors (see photo below) - deepen the cutout in the middle of the heart - unfold and get a petal layer.
Because we have circles of different sizes - then we will get petal layers different in size. We set the relief, put it together, add a yellow stamen-middle (we will talk about stamens a little lower).
Such a delicate flower can be strung on a wire (make a stalk) and give a paper bouquet for Mother's Day to your mother.
ANSWER: An ordinary round stick (pencil or pen, or knitting needle) can serve as a stamp for imprinting a relief on the petals. Here's how you can do it yourself, you can clearly see it in the photo craft of the flower below.
The flower assembly scheme is the same as the previous one (see step-by-step photos).
In the technique of PAPER Puff you can make a variety of voluminous flowers (anemones, poppies, asters, dahlias, roses). Photo evidence below.
You see - the same "puff" method - but completely different flowers are obtained. And all due to the fact that silhouettes of paper petal layers DIFFERENT IN THEIR OUTLINES.
And do not forget that not only the contour (silhouette, petal shape) is important ... but the RELIEF of the petals is also important. It is the correctly set relief that turns flat outlines into living convex layers of the future flower.
For relief we need round sticks of various thicknesses (thin knitting needles, toothpicks, thick round-sided markers, felt-tip pens, spherical perfume caps, or lollipops). Any items that will help set the shape.
So that the relief fits neatly on thick paper- it may need to be slightly moistened before work (sprinkle from a pulverizer or hold on a wet towel). Try it and see how it works out better - dry or wet.
And here's to you ready-made templates paper puff flower. Flower stencils are already several sizes in size. Can right now put a sheet of paper on a glowing screen and trace with a pencil these silhouettes that appear from the screen on your sheet of paper (this is my favorite way copy the template without any printer - not every home has a printing device).
Also, you can resize any template using a computer mouse.
Look - in the photo below I give you a template silhouette. Silhouette only ONE size. Do you want this silhouette? different sizes- to make a multi-layer paper flower craft.
To change the size of this silhouette, you press with one hand on the keyboard buttonctrl, and while holding this button down, use your other hand to roll the mouse wheel back and forth. And from this action of yours, everything that is drawn on your screen now increases or decreases, depending on where you turn the wheel - away from you or towards you.
Here try it right now- press and twist. See how the stencil image below has resized? In this way you can adjust the template to any size right on the computer screen and circle it with a pencil on a piece of paper placed on the screen of your monitor. This is the fastest way to get the outline of any flower stencil at once in any size we need.
Here are curly templates for future paper flowers - and you can already change the size of the picture yourself. And you yourself can design and create any paper flower with your own hands. 
And let's take a closer look at interesting additions to such puff colors.
How to make stamen
in puff paper colors.
Here is an interesting step-by-step lesson below where we see how a stamen for a multilayer paper flower is created in stages.
How to issue
large inflorescence
on one stem.
And I would like to show here one more smart and simple trick, which allows you to do whole inflorescence of flowers on one stem. In nature, such flowers are often found, where many cups of flowers nest in one place and have common central stem.
It is such a flower craft that will now demonstrate a step-by-step master class in the photo below.
- We cut out from green thick paper (or cardboard) a shock of stems with a common round base. On this round base we glue double-sided tape.
- We twist the tube from the newspaper and wrap it with green paper. We glue the tube-stem to the round base - twisting it around the stem.
- We make flowers (from two red layers and one black stamen). We glue each flower on its stalk. We glue wide leaves to the central stem-leg. It turns out a very beautiful stem-bouquet of paper.
How to make a puff flower
WITH ASYMMETRIC petals.
But in the photo below we see from what layers the ORCHID paper flower is created with our own hands.
In a glass of water dilute a drop of green paint- we get light green water. We moisten the white details of the orchid with this water, they become white-green (exactly like in nature).
Further while the pale green petals are still wet, we apply lines of purple paint on them - the lines themselves are slightly blurred on wet paper - an uneven, blurry color is obtained (exactly like a real orchid).
The middle part of the orchid upper layer also make it green ... and along the very edge (right along the cut of the paper) we paint it in bright purple. Thus, when we lift this top layer up, the purple edges just stick out with their color upwards, imitating the position and color of the shaggy central orchid petals.
The same principle is used to create various asymmetric flowers-crafts. Let's remember what other flowers do not have circular symmetry in their calyx ... that's right, these are PANIES (photo below).
- Lower layer of blue petals (only 2 pieces with a location on the upper side).
- Then layer of blue petals (also 2 pieces splayed to the sides).
- And the third top layer in the form just one white petal.
- Then we smear the central part of the flower with yellow, draw the central lines with a pencil. From crumpled paper we make yellow balls of stamens (or from plasticine).
A simple DIY craft that even a child can do. The main thing is to prepare in advance the templates that the child will circle on colored paper.
Volumetric puff flower
from THIN paper.
We do such techniques as “different sizes of layers” and “work on folding the relief on paper petals” only when we use ordinary THICK COLOR PAPER
But if If you are making flower crafts from CREPE, CORRUGATED MINT PAPER, then you can not set the relief there. The very texture of the paper will make it possible to make a fluffy voluminous flower.
Furthermore, the corrugated structure of the paper allows you not even to bother with obtaining DIFFERENT-SIZED LAYERS. I.e all layers of the flower can be the same size. Here are the master classes on paper flowers below just clearly prove this.
See? All layers of the flower are the same size. We pierce the middle of the layers folded in half with a hole punch (or with a needle and thread, or fasten with a stapler). Unfold the flower and fluff its layers into a fluffy pompom. These are very beautiful large paper flowers.
This is perhaps the easiest and lightning fast way to make a flower with your own hands. It turns out big, lush, rich and expressive.
If we choose napkins of two colors - and apply them with alternating colors, we will get a play of halftones in each layer, and our flower will look like a rose.
You see, in the method below, we make identical silhouettes from napkins of two colors (in shape and size, like twin brothers). Under the bottom we put a piece of cardboard with two holes (like a button ... however, cardboard can be replaced with a button). And we thread the threads into the holes and pierce through all the layers of the napkin. We tie a knot in the middle of the flower - and fluff all the corrugated layers of crafts with our hands.
Think for yourself how you can diversify and complement this air-napkin flower. Can you add more border color- for this, cut out the napkin silhouettes a little bit along the edges with an office marker.
Turn on your imagination ... and let it show off plenty of napkins. No one has a shortage of tea in napkins. And suddenly you will give birth to your own author's flower.
And in the same way, red carnations are made. The same rounds with a serrated edge are also cut out of the napkin - and deep cuts into the petal parts. And then they just overlap each other with a drop of glue in the center ... or instead of glue in the center, we pierce them with a stick (but it will be a stem. A beautiful do-it-yourself flower craft for dad on February 23, or on Victory Day for grandfather.
And exactly according to the same principle as carnations (in the step-by-step lesson above), Lingeri terry daffodils are made. Here they are in nature - lush and voluminous.
Spring paper flowers are a good gift for mom on March 8th. And now you will learn how easy it is to make them with your own hands.
And here's how they can be made from dyed paper napkins. We put a stack of napkins on top of each other - fold it a quarter - in a triangle - cut off the edges with a jagged semicircle. We paint the top napkins in a bright yellow color, and the middle layers of napkins in a light yellow color, leave the bottom layer white.
Now about the material. Daffodils are gorgeous, you might say, but where do you get these paper colors (pale yellow and bright yellow)? Here, I tell you, there are 2 ways at once - 1) dye white paper napkins in 2 shades of yellow ... or 2) get a pale shade of yellow from bright yellow crepe crepe paper.
INSTRUCTION №1. How to dye a white paper napkin.
ANSWER: We paint the napkin in a straightened form - tinted water. We paint in a glass of water and pour it on a straightened napkin. We are waiting for the natural drying of the napkin (about a day).
INSTRUCTION №2. How to make light yellow from bright yellow crepe paper.
ANSWER: We take crepe yellow paper - put it on a wet towel - put a dry white napkin on top. We iron it with an iron - bright crepe paper gives off its moisture to a dry napkin, and together with moisture it partially gives off color. And we get already PALE YELLOW crepe paper. Thus, we can change the shades of crepe corrugated paper.
As you can see, everything is solved - if you turn on your head and think ... and try to experiment. Knowledge often comes by experience (even if this path is a mess). One failed experience can be the source of several ideas at once. I somehow wet the crepe paper, ruined the craft - but I saw that when wetting the crepe paper loses its color. And once I spilled water for washing brushes on a paper napkin - and it turned into a delicate, even color. So out of two jambs - I got 2 color changes for delicate and thin paper textures.
Well, it was all just about the FIRST METHOD of making paper flowers with your own hands. I deliberately made this first chapter of our article so detailed and detailed so that you immediately understand a simple and important truth:
Even one single way can have MULTIPLE CONTINUES… numerous options… endless designs. And you yourself can become an author - and create your own paper flower, made all in the same way of “curly layers superimposed on each other ».
And now let's look at the next way to make flowers from colored paper with your own hands.
METHOD #2
paper flowers
TWISTED IN A TUBE.
We have been familiar with this method of creating flowers since childhood. We all made classic flower crafts at school or kindergarten. by February 23 - red carnations from crumpled crepe paper. They twisted a strip of paper around a toothpick, wrapped the twist with a piece of green paper and fluffed the bunch-panicle of the flower.
And it never occurred to us that inside this primitive method there is a recipe for not only a modest carnation.
This method " twisting crepe paper into a roll» can give birth to completely different voluminous and flat flowers. It all depends on how we changed the SHAPE OF THE EDGE OF THE PAPER STRIP. Depending on its pattern, we will get paper flowers that are completely different in design.
Here is photo proof. See?
Different edge gives different flowers- disheveled aster, neat chamomile, chrysanthemums. Even roses can be made in this way (but roses will be discussed in a separate article - in detail and in detail, as befits a queen of flowers).
And not only from soft corrugated (crepe) paper you can make craft flowers using this ROLL technique.
Here you are in the photo below - an example of paper flowers in the same roll-up technique FROM ORDINARY THICK COLOR PAPER (office double-sided colored paper).
Here is a simple job and very simple instructions.
- A narrow strip of paper was wound onto a thin rod (or toothpick) (to make the middle of the flower).
- And then a winding of a wider tape, already cut along the edge into strips-petals, was added to this rolled middle.
- And the petals are folded to the side - like an umbrella-spread.
AND IF THIS SIMPLE TWISTING TECHNIQUE IS ADDED TO THE EXPERIMENT, YOU CAN GET NEW PAPER FLOWER DESIGNS.
For example, what if... these petals are not just bent to the sides with a flat spreading chamomile, but slightly twist the tip of each petal inward (as we cover curls in the morning) - and we will get a voluminous lush ASTRA.
And what if ... make a strip for twisting with DIFFERENT WIDTH AREAS. We see the result of this plan in the photo diagram below.
- A narrow strip (1 cm wide) for the middle stamen (we wind it into a tight roll on a toothpick).
- Next, on this roll we wind an already petal strip (with an edge cut into a fringe) 2 centimeters wide.
- And then we wind a petal strip 2.5 cm wide ...
- and then a petal strip 3 cm wide.
And thanks to the different widths of the strips, we get a flower-roll in which the height of the petals increases from the center to the edges.
As you can see, in this simple roll technique, you can and should do EXPERIMENTS. Let's continue to encourage our inquisitiveness of the mind and decide on one more dashing idea ...
WHAT IF, cut the fringe not straight, but OBSOLUTE. And what if ... this oblique fringe is not cut along the edge CUT, and along the edge of the BEND (that is, bend the strip in half along the entire length, and cut this fold line obliquely into a fringe, and then twist it in this form.
We see the result in the photo below - an amazing aster with spirally twisting carved perforated petals. A beautiful flower craft looks like a difficult job, but making it with your own hands is simple and fast.
Such shaggy flowers with slanting petals can be used as a shaggy stamen for other flowers.
Here's how, for example, in this master class in the photo below. See?
There, too, a bent strip is cut along the OBLIQUE FRINGE ... and an orange shaggy stamen is formed - needed to decorate the center of the paper aster.
By the way, the paper aster itself from the photo below is made very original in its simplicity.
- The base of the aster is puffs (a multi-beam star with cut rays).
- Each beam in the puff is bent with a slate ruler into a sharp arrow (as on trousers).
- The layers are superimposed on each other - we get a lush flower.
And just the stamen inside this voluminous flower is made using the OBLIQUE FRINGE technique, which we just talked about.
This roll technique can be combine with a regular petal puff (Method # 1 from this article).. Yes - you can - because it occurs in nature. God Himself once came to this idea - and created the flowers of TIGAGE. And we will embody this method of combining a roll and a puff on paper. (See how it is done in the infographic below).
In roll technology the fluffy center of the flower is performed. And in the "Puff" technique»The lower petal part of the marigold flower is made of paper (patterns with five-leaf silhouettes). Photo instructions for assembling the flower below.
And here is the rosehip flower - where the middle stamen is also combined using the roll twist technique and 2 petal layers. By the way, they can also be made in large sheets of A4 format and pasted on the wall - and your living room will be transformed. Buy a pack of red office paper at the stationery and play interior designer. All the neighbors will come running to gasp with delight.
And here is a flower craft where the roll technique is also used to create a fluffy stamen panicle, and the side petals are simply glued separately to the lower layers of a lush stamen panicle.
It turns out large flowers-sunflowers from crepe paper.
In a similar technique ROLL-BUNCH + INDIVIDUAL PETALS, a do-it-yourself narcissus flower is also made.
But these flowers are WHETHER LILAC, OR SALVIIA - with a long stem of inflorescences, also made in a roll technique.
Yes, yes, this is also a common roll technique, with the only difference being that the strip of paper is not folded into a tube, but wrapped around spiral roll around a long stick.
Here is a master class of this lush paper flower in the photo below.
- A wide strip of crepe (corrugated) paper cut into long fringes.
- We wrap the fringes on a toothpick(or a knitting needle) - and we get curls along one edge of the tape.
- We take a long wooden skewer and wrap our paper tape with curly fringe around it - wrapping begins from the top end of the wooden skewer and spiral down.
- Doing under the flower green winding stalk-skewers and glue wide green leaves to this stem.
paper rose flowers
ROLLING method.
In roll technology, you can quickly roll a paper rose. We will have a separate article on paper roses. But I will give two master classes right here - because they affect the roll technique for creating flowers.
Here is the first step by step paper rose tutorial. Thick paper is used here, and in order for the petal parts to have the geometry of broken rose petals, this thick paper strip, in the process of rolling into a roll, is to be KNEWED AND TWISTED around itself.
And don't pay attention to those centimeters… just take the very essence this instruction. Cut off a strip of paper from the draft and try to twist it into a rosette, just bending the strip as God puts it on your soul - the paper itself will tell you where to bend and turn it.
You will find many other options for making a paper rose from different types of paper in the article.
And here's another way roll up the roll of paper so that it looks like a rose. For such a roll, we need a paper strip NOT STRAIGHT FORM, but to make a strip of paper IN THE FORM OF A SPIRAL.
For this it is enough draw a snail on a piece of cardboard(the curve is uneven, no matter which one). This drawn spiral will be the template for our paper flower.
Now this spiral line need to cut and then start twisting the roll NOT FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE SPIRAL ... but vice versa FROM ITS EDGE. And in our hands a paper rose will appear by itself.
My advice, do not take polished slippery glossy paper for such crafts - roses- such an elastic rose will strive to turn around or the circles of the spiral will slip out of the flower bed. It is better to choose rough paper or not very thick cardboard - this way the rose will keep its shape better.
paper flowers
Method number 3
In the POMPON technique.
And here's an even faster way to create a fluffy three-dimensional flower. It is made using the "pompom" technique - from corrugated crepe paper.
This technique is good because it allows you to make large paper flowers very quickly - as crepe paper is sold in large rolls (like wallpaper). And each roll can turn into a large flower for holiday decoration.
The master class in the photo below shows how to make such a lush paper flower with your own hands. We fold a wide (20 cm wide tape) several times to get a layering in many layers. We cut the folded ribbon into a fringe FROM TWO EDGES, leave the middle intact.
We fluff the fringe of the flower in all directions - achieving the shape of a perfect circle. And we decorate the central part of the flower with a lump of black paper - and we get the similarity of a flower with a disheveled poppy.
As you understand, the height of the petals depends on the length of the fringe. And the shape of the petals depends on the shape of the fringe.
Below (paper flower tutorial) we make anemones using exactly the same pom-pom technique. The difference is that we slightly changed the shape of the fringe - it's not even a fringe cut at all, but just a beautiful curly petal edge of the napkin.
As a result, the fluffy flower no longer becomes a poppy - but a delicate anemone made of paper.
And you can completely do not change the shape of the edge- that is, in general, do not incise or fringe it in any way. Leave it flat, as it is with a napkin. Just lightly paint over with a marker.
And in the same pompom technique we make a carnation flower with our own hands. They pinched it with wire, folded it in half - fluffed it up and got a carnation on a wire leg.
It remains to add elements from green paper - receptacle(wrap a toothed roll around the flower bowl), stalk(a long green strip for wrapping the flower stem), leaves (glue long oval to the stem).
And you can also make such a pom-pom flower two-color with a center of a different color (see photo below). To do this, we need paper strips of two colors - one wide (yellow), and the second 2 times narrower (black).
We prepare the strips - first we cut a wide strip into a double-sided fringe (or a patterned edge, also on both sides), then we make patterned edges from two on a narrow strip.
To make a patterned petal edge- you need to fold the strip into an accordion (as fans were made in childhood) and on both sides of this folded fan we make a rounding with scissors.
Then unfold the strips and put a narrow black strip in the middle of the wide yellow stripe. We fold them again with an accordion (already two-color).
We tie up the twine or wire. And we turn the sides of the fan in a circle - a flower is formed. If desired, the center of the flower can be decorated with crumpled paper or threaded fringe, glued between the blades of the black center.
And here is a master class, which shows how to make a paper pom-pom flower WITH A FRINGE-STAMEN with your own hands (photo-instruction below).
The principle of creating this flower from paper of two colors is the same as in the previous master class. Only here the middle strip is shredded on both sides into a small fringe. This is another way to make large crepe paper flowers.
Method number 4
paper flowers
Twisted on a ball.
And here is another way to create flowers from crepe paper.
To make such paper flowers, you need wide short strips of crepe paper and balls of different sizes (chupa-chups, balls). We put the ball on the strip and hug the ball from both sides with the strip - we twist the tails-tips of the strip into a tight flagellum. Carefully take out the ball, trying not to crush the inflated petal template. We make several of these petals and collect them into a lush flower.
By the same principle, rounded crocus petals are made from corrugated paper (photo below). Here you need a paper strip already longer - it is placed on the ball with one of its halves. The other half is twisted at the top of the ball and goes back behind the back of the ball and lies on top of its first half. It turns out a rounded petal.
If you fold such petals close to each other, you get a cup of a closed crocus flower (as in the photo below). Excellent hand-made flowers for March 8 for mom.
A lot of bouquets can be made from crepe corrugated paper. Including candy bouquets.
Method number 5
FLOWERS from paper
In ORIGAMI technique.
And now we will talk about folding flowers out of paper - without any cutting with scissors. That is about the art of origami.
The first model is flowers with conical petals. That's how handsome they are. Each petal of such a flower is made from a simple square of paper. In simple origami technique.
All the finished petals are glued to each other - and in the center of the gluing we put a beautiful rhinestone-pebble.
These craft flowers are very easy and quick to make yourself - and they look very elegant on a gift box. They can even decorate a Christmas tree.
As soon as you pick up a square of paper and look at the master class below, you will immediately make the same petal. It's very simple - you start doing it and you understand everything along the way. And you are surprised that this is not taught in kindergarten - everything is so simple and accessible to an ordinary person. After the 10th module, when the whole flower scheme has already been absorbed into your subconscious, your hands are already doing everything almost blindly - on the machine.
If you take a roll of plain wallpaper as paper and cut it into large squares, you can get large-sized flowers to decorate a hall or decorate a home celebration.
And also due to the fact that these flowers have the shape of a CONE - it is convenient to collect them in one common large ball. And use it as a pendant. Or as a crown for an ornamental tree (usually used to decorate weddings).
And here is a master class of a large water lily and paper folding technique without cutting.
And here is an interesting way where the petals-modules are made separately, and then each module is not glued, but simply inserted into the grooves of the neighboring module.
These do-it-yourself paper flowers can be a great craft for any occasion. Now you can make paper flowers in different techniques and teach this to children. You can use these ideas to decorate a holiday or to practice in the Handy Hands club. Such flowers are suitable as crafts for the Spring contest at school or kindergarten. Or these flowers can be a gift for the day of March 8 for mom - a bouquet of paper flowers made by yourself.
Lots of simple ideas for children's crafts on the theme of flowers you will find in our other articles:
Good luck with your crafts.
