Flowers for scrapbooking yourself: a master class

Scrapbooking is an art for preserving warm and vivid memories in the form of postcards, photo albums and photographs, as well as other memorable trivia. The name of this handicraft comes from the English words scrap - scrapbook, book - a book that can be translated as a "scrapbook". Masters use in their work special techniques: aging pages (distressing), the creation of stamps (stamping) and convex elements (embossing). The only drawback of this hobby is the high cost of consumables. But many of them can be done by themselves. Flowers for scrapbooking - one of the popular elements of decor, which is often decorated with frames and gift wraps.

To create a single bud, you need the following materials:

• Dry withered children's napkin;
• paints;
• Small plastic cover;
• A simple pencil;
• Thick paper;
• scissors;
• Transparent glue or glue gun;
• Stamens;
• Thin wire;
• candle.

Flower templates for scrapbooking with your own hands

To create a bud, you need to make two stencils of different sizes: draw a five-petalled flower on thick paper, cut it out and make another one, but a little smaller. The edges can be left uneven, then they will look more natural. There are two such templates. Before making flowers for scrapbooking with your own hands, wet wipes are dried, otherwise they will not take the desired form. Fold the napkin three times, put a larger pattern on it and circle it with a pencil. Repeat with a smaller template, without capturing the outline. We make the cuts between the petals, after which we separate the layers.

How to make flowers for scrapbooking yourself? The master class consists of several stages:

1. Coloring petals.
2. Opaling edges over the candle.
3. Assembly.
4. Decoration of the middle and back.

Toning and singing petals

We spread the color of the desired color in the plastic cover, try the tone on an unnecessary part of the napkin and, if we are all happy, start painting the blanks by dipping them in a liquid. Squeeze and unfold the petals to dry - a wet napkin will not keep the shape. Speed up drying by using a hairdryer. Now take the candle - it will help make the edges of the flowers round, give them a convex shape. We carry each petal over the candle, trying not to scorch the edges.

At the next stage, we fasten the layers together, overlapping them with displacement to achieve a natural appearance. Glued and wait for complete drying. From felt and non-woven fabric, you can also make flowers for your scrapbooking yourself. Patterns of paper are used the same. The only difference: when using non-woven fabric, you need to make a lower layer of opaque material.

How to form the middle of a flower

For one bud you need about 20 stamens - the more of them, the more splendid the middle of the flower will be. From the wire cut off about 3 cm and pull it in the middle of 10 double stamens. Now add the resulting bunch in half to form the core. All stamens should not be on the same level. Carefully make a cross-shaped slit in the center of the assembled parts using scissors, apply glue on both sides. We stretch the wire through the middle, cut off the excess. Hold the end, straighten the middle. On the reverse side of the flower, we distribute the tips of the stamens in a circle so that they do not interfere with the work.

Back side manufacture

Making flowers for scrapbooking with their own hands is desirable with a green base - so they will look complete. You can make it in the same way as the petals - by cutting out a piece in the shape of a star from the napkin and toning it with a green salad. The edges should not be perfectly even. Another option: use a floral tape for this . The resulting leaves are glued to the base. You can improve the flower, making it more rigid - then it will be more convenient to use it in work. To do this, we plant a little glue, take a wide brush, pat the petals with this solution and leave it to dry. The finished flower can be additionally toned with paint or covered with glitter.

Roses from paper with their own hands

Flowers for scrapbooking with their own hands are also made of paper. They can create any color and size. To work will require special blanks under the petals: we cut five-petalled flowers from watercolor paper, and on the top of each petal we make small notches. One piece will need 4 blanks.

Additional materials:

• Watercolors for toning paper;
• An ordinary brush;
• A bowl of water;
• napkin;
• A rag to spread out the flower blanks;
• Tools for stamping;
• nail scissors;
• Glue gun or glue "Moment Crystal";
• Foam mat for mouse.

Scrapbooking flowers for oneself: a master class for making paper roses

Let's start creating flowers:

1. On the blanks, make small cuts towards the center of the flower, between the petals.
2. For a short time we soak the blanks and moisten the cloth.
3. When the petals are a little saturated with water, take them out and lay them on a rag.
4. Mix the paints to get the right shade and apply them to the blanks. You can do transitions or paint only the edges of flowers. We are waiting for the blanks to dry a little.
5. We take a rug and tools for stamping. With the tool with a small tip on the outside we begin to form the edges of the petals, bending them inwards.
6. Turn the workpiece over, make a tool with a thick tip from the center to the outer edge of the dent on each petal to lightly wrap it inside. You can use a pencil with a smooth cap for this.
7. Turn the part and make a notch in the middle, using the same tool. The first workpiece is ready. We repeat the procedure on the other petals. Leave it to dry. One more step, and flowers for scrapbooking, made by own hands, will be ready.

Assembling a Paper Rose

We form the middle of the rose from a napkin, rolling a small ball and fixing it with glue. Then rotate the first blank with the unpainted side up and glue the core into the center. We fold the bud: apply the glue and twist the petals in pairs, wrapping the middle. The next workpiece is glued to the bud and we have the petals so that they go over each other. On the next layer, the petals do not completely close, stretching them to the sides, we form the cone from the bottom, so that it easily enters the recess of the last billet. We combine with the bud to make the petals staggered. Rosochka is ready.
