Crepe paper what to make of it. Corrugated Paper Craft Ideas

Home decor is a constant and non-stop job. In the process, new techniques and types of work are mastered. In this article we will talk about how to make flowers from corrugated paper. This paper can be found in flower shops. But in a larger assortment, it is in specialized establishments that sell everything for needlework. You will also need wire or thin sticks (bamboo skewers are also suitable), glue and scissors.

General principles and rules

Despite the fact that crepe paper flowers are made differently, the principles of work are the same. Here are briefly general rules that will help you make paper flowers with your own hands, very similar to real ones.

Here, in fact, are all the rules. And one more thing: the stem is prepared first. For it, wire or sticks of different thicknesses are used, which are wrapped in a long thin strip of green corrugated paper. The tape can be coated with glue, and then wound onto the base. You can twist it dry, and fix the edge with a drop of glue. One more thing: if you are going to assemble a composition from flowers, leave the lower 1/3 of the stem unfinished - it will be easier to make a bouquet.

poppies

Making crepe paper poppies is very easy. It is important to find the right shade of scarlet. You will also need a small piece of black - for the core. But, if it is not there, you can use any dark one, then painting it black.

We do poppy from corrugated paper like this:

From paper napkins of any color, we fold a small square. We wrap it with black corrugated paper. If there is no black, take any dark one, then paint it.
We cut out two or three petals of different sizes from scarlet paper: small, medium and large.
We collect the petals all together (do not put in a neat pile) and crush into a ball.
We disassemble the ball into petals.
We take the core, wrap the first small petal around it from left to right.
The second small petal partially overlaps the first one, followed by the middle one, also overlapping.
The second middle and two large petals form the second row. They are located so that their central part overlaps the junction of the previous row.
Having gathered everything together, we insert the wire into the base, wrap the base with a thread, glue it. Wrapped in green paper.

Poppy is one of the easiest colors to make from crepe paper. He looks very good, though. You can use them in a campaign with other flowers, or make a bouquet of poppies only.

Even such a simple flower can be made in different ways. First of all, you can change the middle. In the master class described above, the core of the flower is very simple. It can be made more natural. Using the same technology, we make the middle, but from white paper. And from black (can be painted), we cut out a strip about 1 cm wide and 4-5 cm long. On the one hand, we cut it into thin stripes (a couple of millimeters wide). We twist the resulting "noodles", getting thin stamens. We wrap the stamens around the core, and then we follow the same algorithm.

How to make paper and candy crocuses

An unusual gift can be made using candy as the core of flowers. It turns out an original sweet gift. Such a core can be made in flowers with a large bud hollow inside - a tulip or a crocus, for example. Moreover, crocuses made of corrugated paper are very simple to make. Everything will take 5-10 minutes. Not more.

Bouquet of corrugated paper with sweets - a good surprise

From paper cut out a square with a side of 15 cm.
We divide it into three parts, making a cut to a depth of 7.5 cm. Three petals are obtained.
Each petal, having measured 5 cm from the top, scrolls around its axis and bends the upper part down.
Give them a concave shape with your fingers.
We take the formed petals, wrap them around the stem so that each petal takes its place - about 1/3 of the entire diameter. To do this, the bottom edge will have to be well crushed.
We make leaves from green paper. Cut out a rectangle with sides 5 * 8 cm.
We divide it into three parts, making cuts to a depth of 8 cm.
Stepping back from the edge of 3 cm, we twist a strip of paper around its axis, bend the upper part down, straighten it and give it a rounded shape.
Wrap the leaves around the bud. They should fall on the junction of the petals.
We take a narrow strip of green paper, twisting it around the wire, we make out the stem.

That's all, the crepe paper and candy crocus is ready. Having made 7-9 pieces of such flowers, they can be put in the basket. For more variety, you can make some small flowers.

Chrysanthemum

Using the technology described above, you can make chrysanthemums. The difference is that there will be many petals and they will be narrow. And the principle is the same: we twist the upper part of the petal, lower it down. Only in the case of chrysanthemums, it is necessary to give the entire petal a curved shape.

For these paper chrysanthemums, sweets are also used as a core. These crepe paper flowers are best made from a material that is not too bright. Tones are more gentle, soft. Muted greens are also chosen for foliage. For more believability, take paper of two similar shades and make petals of two shades.

So, do-it-yourself chrysanthemum from corrugated paper:

This version of chrysanthemum looks good. But for greater credibility, you can make petals of different sizes. We need at least three gradations: small, medium and large. They will differ more in length than in width. Such a flower will look more magnificent, look richer in a bouquet. Try.

Asters - simple and original

If you need to make simple but spectacular crepe paper flowers, try making asters. They are made from corrugations of bright and pastel shades. They look best in a bouquet, and the colors can be different.

Corrugated paper asters can also be made from petals of different sizes - shorter ones closer to the center of the flower (there should be fewer of them), and longer ones on the periphery (there are more of them). You can bend them in one direction, but you can - in the opposite direction. As you like.

Corrugated paper roses: a step-by-step manufacturing algorithm (2 ways)

Corrugated paper flowers are good because they can be made in different ways. The material is very plastic, easily changes shape because there are several ways. Someone wants to achieve greater "naturalness", while someone is important speed.

1 way (natural look)

For corrugated paper roses, it is better to choose paper of two or three very close shades. So the look of the flower will be more natural. For example, white and crepe paper was used for the flower in the photo. The number of petals of different shades is arbitrary, as is their placement in the bud.

The production order is:

As a result, we get a beautiful rose from corrugated paper. In this performance, it looks like a real flower. There is an easier and faster way (pictured below).

2 way (simple and fast)

We cut out a strip of paper 7-8 cm wide. You can make it uneven - narrower on one side, wider on the other. We fold it starting from the narrow edge with an "accordion". The width of the "accordion" is 3.5 -4.5 cm. Cut out the petals from the resulting stack by 2/3 of the height.

We wind the petals onto the wire (you can not wrap it with green tape yet), starting from the narrow edge. As we wind, we give them a shape with our fingers - stretch on one side, crush at the stem. Having installed all the petals, we fix them with a thread (just by winding a certain number of turns). We correct the petals, forming a bud.

From green paper, folding it like an accordion, cut out long and narrow petals. Keep in mind that their ends will need to be twisted, so they should not be so narrow (noticeably 1 cm). We wrap the cut petals from below, under the petals, twist the leaves with our fingers, and then we make out the stem.

Corrugated paper peonies (with patterns)

For peonies, you need yellow corrugated paper - for the core, green - for foliage, pink, cream, raspberry - for the flower itself. For the stem, a wire or a thin stick is suitable. You will also need PVA glue.

Corrugated paper peony is a rather difficult flower to make. It has many different petal shapes. You can't do without a pattern here. But there are many varieties of peonies, so there are several patterns. We present two options. The first one can be printed, cut out and used as a template - it is given in a full-size image. The second option can be drawn with your own hands in the cells.

Step by step manufacturing process with photo:

Cut out a strip of yellow paper 4-5 cm wide and 10-12 cm long. Fold several times, cut into thin “noodles”, leaving about 1 cm of uncut edge.
We roll the resulting tape into a tight roll, using the whole edge for this. We grease it with glue, and twist it. It turns out a shaggy yellow core, around which the petals will be attached. We fix this center on a stick / wire, which will be the stem.
Cut out petals from paper. The minimum quantity is 20 pieces (of all types), but the more, the more fluffy the flower will turn out. On the second pattern, the number of petals is indicated on each, on the first, explanations are needed. There are also numbers. This is the required number of petals.
Stretch each petal in the middle, without touching the edges, giving them a convex shape. Don't try to make them the same. This is not required. In the process, it will still be possible to stretch or tighten a little.
We begin to fold the petals from the smallest. We place them around the already existing middle. We place the first small petals only slightly overlapping their edges. We coat the base with glue.
Next, take the middle petals. We lay them with a slight approach of one to the other.
Then we lay the large and last - very large leaves. We coat each layer with a small amount of glue at the base.
You will also need leaves. We cut them out of green paper. On the one hand, we compress them, forming a petiole, on the other, we straighten them in the middle, giving a curved shape (similar to a boat).
We fasten the leaves under the bud, bend them down.
You can also make leaves, like a peony, but this will also require a thin wire and a few cut out curly leaves. Veins on corrugated paper cannot be made, but they can be marked with paint.
We glue each leaf to the wire, wrap the petiole with a thin strip, then attach it to the stem.
The assembly process is a creative activity
We take a long narrow strip of green corrugated paper (about 1 cm wide, 20-30 cm long - depends on the length of the stem). We wrap the base of the flower, then smoothly move to the stem. At the end, we fix the edge of the paper with a drop of glue.

Peony from corrugated paper is ready. Usually they make up a bouquet. When you do the next ones, don't try to make them exactly the same. All flowers in nature are unique. Yours should be different too.

You can play with the size and number of petals, mixing petals of different shades, similar in color. You can try to make the petals at the base darker with paint. In general, there are a lot of options.

Corrugated paper flowers: photo ideas, patterns

Using the techniques described above, you can make any flower. The main snag is in the shape, number and size of the petals. The most important thing is the form. It is characteristic of each petal. Dimensions are arbitrary. Not only do flowers come in different sizes in nature, it has recently become fashionable to decorate the interior with giant growth flowers. Decoration is original, but specific. It is necessary to increase the basic patterns many times over, it is difficult to work with large scales. It's best to practice on normal-sized flowers first, and then move on to larger ones.

A little about patterns. They can not only be found. If it happens in the summer, take the desired flower, disassemble it into petals. From the whole pile, select the most characteristic, attach to a sheet of paper, circle. Then the shape must be corrected, taking into account the fact that these are still paper flowers. The final pattern will take shape after a few trial and error. We will post several patterns and master classes in the photo in this section.

cornflowers

The simpler the flower, the more ways to make it. Corrugated paper cornflower can be made using different techniques. Examples are in the photo.

If you want to make it very similar to the real one (A - a pattern for a blossoming flower, B - for a bud)

Iris

Making iris out of paper requires some imagination. A very unusual flower. The photo shows several techniques that allow you to achieve a different effect. Some flowers just resemble the original, some are very similar to it.

Anything-Miscellaneous

Lilies… Beautiful, but several techniques are used

Pansies - a pattern for making corrugated paper

For the "advanced". A very beautiful flower

Cute daisies - an option for beginners

Using crepe paper, you can make delicate and realistic flowers that are perfect for decorating gifts or placing in a vase.

Below are how to make three flowers from crepe paper - tulip, chamomile and peony.

1. crepe paper in rolls (blue, pink, red and yellow);
2. floral wire;
3. printed templates for petals;
4. green floral tape;
5. scissors;
6. cotton wool.

Crepe paper flowers: tulip

Step 1.

To make the stamen, cut out a 3x3 cm square of yellow crepe paper. Pinch off a small piece of cotton with your fingers and roll it into a ball. Place a cotton ball in the middle of the crepe square.

Glue the end of the floral wire to the cotton ball.

Squeeze and twist the yellow paper around the cotton ball and wire.

Use green floral tape to secure yellow crepe paper around a cotton ball with wire.

Step 2

To make petals, cut a 10 cm strip from a roll of red crepe paper.

Fold the red strip in four and lay the printed and cut out petal templates on it.

Templates must be placed vertically relative to the corrugated strips on the paper.

Step 3

Fixing the template and crepe paper with your fingers, cut out the outer and inner petals for the tulip. In total, for one flower you need three outer and 4 inner petals. Stretch the upper part of each petal with your thumb and forefinger, as if opening and making the petal more realistic.

Position the inner petals around the stamen so that each petal slightly overlaps the previous petal. Secure the inner petals with floral tape.

Place the outer petals around the inner petals so that they overlap slightly. Secure the craft with floral tape.

Wrap green floral tape around the bud and the entire stem of the flower, giving it a neat, seamless look.

Corrugated Paper Flowers: Chamomile

Step 1.

To make a terry stamen, cut out a piece of yellow crepe paper measuring 5x15 cm with a vertical arrangement of corrugated stripes. Roll the paper into a tube and cut it into thin strips to the middle.

Unfold the resulting fringe and wrap it around the floral wire. Secure the resulting terry stamen with floral tape.

Step 2

To make petals, cut a piece of 50 cm from blue (white, orange, red, etc.) crepe paper and lay it in layers of 10 cm. Attach a template with chamomile petals to the bottom of the corrugated piece of paper.

Cut out the blank with the petals according to the template and cut the petals into two-thirds of the total length of the paper (as shown in the photo).

Expand the blank with the petals.

Step 3

Attach the double stamen to the petals so that its edges are flush with the edges of the petals. Wrap the petals around the stamen, giving the flower a beautiful delicate shape.

When the petals are completely wrapped around the stamen, secure the flower with green floral tape from the bud and along the length of the wire, giving the craft a neat, seamless look.

Give each petal a nice shape by gently pulling with your fingers and flattening each one. Let the petals go so that the stamen is clearly visible.

Crepe paper flowers: peony

Step 1.

To make a stamen, cut out a 5x5 cm square from pink crepe paper. Place a small ball of cotton wool and floral wire on top of the square. Roll everything together into a neat pink bud and secure with floral tape.

Step 2

To make petals, cut a 10 cm piece from a roll of pink crepe paper. Cut the paper into 10x10 cm squares.

Take one square and fold it in half. Attach the petal template to the folded paper so that the paper header is vertical to the petal. Cut out 25 petals according to the template.

Stretch the top of the petals with your fingers, giving them a realistic and neat look. Fold the bottom of the petals into folds.

Step 3

To assemble the flower, take one of the petals and attach it to the stamen. Next, attach another petal to the stamen, slightly overlaying it not the first. Thus, attach 5-6 petals to the stamen and secure the craft with floral tape.

Continue adding petals in a circular motion around the stamen and secure with floral tape every few petals. Add the last petals and wrap the craft with floral tape from the bud to the end of the wire, giving the flower a neat, seamless look.

Put the finished flowers in a vase or use to decorate gifts.

I will show you how to make a bunch of crocuses out of crepe paper. This craft is suitable as a spring-Easter for the garden, as well as home decor for the Easter holiday.

Crocuses in nature are purple, white, yellow ...

And they have a yellow-orange center. By the way, crocus stigmas, this very middle, is the spice known to everyone - saffron.

Crepe paper choose the appropriate colors:

For the manufacture of flowers, domestic crepe paper of the brand Colibri, Mizar was used.
http://mizar.com.ua/g9434247-bumaga-krepirovannaya

The bouquet was made late at night, so the real colors were not conveyed in the photo of the master class.
Let's make the flowers first. To do this, cut the paper into strips of 3 x 12 cm. Each flower will have three petals. If desired, six of them can be made, exactly as many petals a real crocus flower has. Three, as it were, inside and three on the outside in a checkerboard pattern. I settled on the option of three petals.

Bend a strip of paper in half. find the center and twist it 180 degrees in this place.

Fold in half and give the petal a rounded shape.

Making the middle. To do this, cut pieces of yellow paper about 3 by 5 cm. Then we cut the fringe on them.

We twist each strip of fringe with our fingers, like this:

Then we put the blank directly on the watercolor paint and, using a slightly moistened brush, paint the edges of the twisted fringe orange. Gouache is also suitable for this purpose, but I did not have orange in stock.

We dry the painted centers, and then twist the part that fluffed up during painting.

I used wooden skewers to shape the stem of the flower. They can be replaced with floral wire or just regular wire. Then the stem will be flexible. With wooden skewers, making the stem will be easier.

We wind the strip with stamens on a stick and fix it with a glue gun.

We tightly wrap the collected petals with a thread. We do not tie the thread, it will be fixed with the next layer of paper.

We cut a strip of 0.5-0.7 cm from green paper over the entire width of the roll. We attach it with a drop of glue at the base of the flower, and then we form the flower bowl simply by winding the paper until the collected paper of the petals closes.

The stem is wound very simply: with one hand we press the paper to the stick, and with the other we twist the stick. A minute and you're done. We fix a strip of paper at the end of the stem with hot glue.

As I noticed, the flower turns out to be more even and voluminous if the petals are collected not on a stick, but first. Like this - pick up and give them a shape, and then attach to the stalk.

The flowers are ready.

Now let's make the leaves. We cut the paper into strips about 2 cm wide and 7 to 13 cm long. The leaves will be of different lengths, as they will be attached along the entire height of the stem.

We make the upper end of the leaf sharp, and simply narrow the lower one.

We attach a leaf to the stem, drip a drop of glue from the gun and wrap it around the stem.

Similarly, we fasten other leaves, trying to glue them on opposite sides of the stem.

Flowers are ready.

Now they need to be placed in a pot. This is an ordinary small size plastic pot for flowerpots.

I fix the foam plastic to the bottom of the pot with hot glue.

We stick the crocuses into the foam, if necessary, cut the stems to a suitable length (we fasten the paper tape at the cut point with hot glue).

I didn’t plan to wrap a plastic pot in anything, but I really don’t like it with its appearance)
I improvise on the go, using the materials available at home: a piece of paper in silence, a gift I recently received was wrapped in it, and a piece of multi-colored twine, it was prudently left from the wrapper of the eight-March bouquet)

I fold the paper in four, put the pot in the center and gently tuck the edges of the paper into the pot.

I intercept the paper-wrapped pot with twine.

To completely close the foam (in principle, it is not visible anyway), we put a little shavings in the pot between the flower stems. Two souvenir foam eggs were bought in the store, they are also intended for our bouquet.

Have a nice Easter holidays and warm spring weather!

Crepe paper is a unique material not only for children's creativity, but also for "adult" crafts. Flowers and buds of incredible beauty can be made from this colorful and inexpensive material.

What kind of "beast" is this? Simply put, this is a colored thin corrugated paper web. It is sold in rolls in craft stores. In the form of ribbons on a reel, such paper can be purchased at florist shops. If you decide, then you definitely can’t do without it!

Also, to make crepe paper flowers, you will need:

wire,
PVA glue (or better glue gun),
scissors,
watercolor or acrylic paints to give the petals a more natural look.

So let's get started?

Flowers from paper tape

This is an easy technique. It is necessary to prepare long ribbons of crepe paper so that the corrugations are across the length of the ribbon. Then we twist the tape as in the picture, and fix it with glue in the shape of a pretty bud. This method is well suited for making small flowers.

Large crepe paper flowers

To make a large flower, you need to fold the paper with an accordion, then drag it in the middle with wire and cut the edges of the accordion so that you get petals.

It remains only to straighten the finished product!

Depending on how you trim the edges, you can end up with completely different plant varieties. For example.

And that's the end result!

Beautiful, is not it? Especially if you use material of different colors.

Master class on crepe flowers from petals

Here is another "ribbon" method that allows you to create the illusion of individual petals on the finished product.

To create a flower very similar to a natural one with your own hands, you can draw veins and dots with watercolors. Get a real masterpiece!

Such ornamental plants are quite practical. They can serve to decorate the interior.

Be a decorative element for brooches, hairpins, gift wrapping!
