Spring bouquets of corrugated paper

The arrival of spring is always a holiday. And I want to celebrate it in a special way. An excellent gift option will be spring bouquets. With their own hands to create them is not so difficult. The main thing is the availability of materials, fantasies and some free time.

Of what to do?

The most gracious material for crafts such a plan can be called corrugated paper, or crepe. It not only easily folds and cuts, but also allows you to create a wide variety of shapes.

The volume of flowers makes it possible in some places to stretch the corrugation. The petals are obtained with natural bends and protuberances.

Spring bouquets, made with their own hands made of corrugated paper, are markedly distinguished also due to its fineness. The same flowers from office sheets look rough and sloppy, even under the condition of perfect accuracy with them.

You can buy creme paper at any office store. It is better to give preference to a thicker version. It is quite difficult to create from thin paper to beginners.

Color options

At home, a spring bouquet can be created with your own hands, even with children. But first you need to decide which bouquet is needed.

Primarily in the spring in honor of primroses. But it is not easy to create them if you do not have certain skills. Therefore, you can beat the spring theme in daisies, gerberas and carnations. The main thing here is to pick up the gentle pastel colors of the paper itself.

Beautifully look and bouquets, the basis of which is made on living twigs. Withstanding the proportion of flowers, craftsmen get chic blossoming apple-trees, cherries, sakura.

And, of course, do not forget about the roses. There are several ways to create them. But each of them allows you to get the most close to the natural version of the flower. Thus , spring bouquets with their own hands should be done always when there is an occasion and mood for this.

The Elementary Protozoa

We recommend the beginning of the bouquet production from the simplest colors. These are chrysanthemums and carnations. Technologies for their manufacture are different, but the level of complexity is approximately similar.

In order to have a spring bouquet in the house, made up of chrysanthemums, you need to cut a strip of the desired width across the roll. Along the corrugation we add it to the accordion. The narrower the strips, the better. Next, the accordion is folded in half and shaped into petals: on one side we cut the edge in a semicircle, and on the other - we cut out small notches, trying not to cut the accordion completely. In places of notches we connect the workpiece with a dense thread. Then it's up to small - to form a three-dimensional flower from the petals and plant it not as a stalk-base.

Carnation is made from the same strip. Only it is wound on the wooden base with the bottom edge. The top of the strip can be slightly stretched to add a flower more splendor. This is not a difficult work. A spring bouquet made with these hands made of such flowers will please everyone who sees it.

Solid ribbon of petals

Creating flowers from corrugated paper is easier, if you do not cut out each petal separately, but create a ribbon from them. This method is based on the principle of assembling cloves. Only in it the petals are not cut out, but only slightly stretched.

The ribbon from the petals looks like this: several of them are connected to each other approximately in the middle. They make them all the same accordion, but do not fold in half, and cut the shape of the petal according to the workpiece, not cutting very little at the sides.

Then you need to shape them. The central part is stretched in one direction, as if creating a small pocket, and the top of the petal is twisted in the same direction. It turns out an excellent workpiece for a rose, which is then wound on a stalk-base. Even then, ready-made spring bouquets are collected from them, created by the whole family with their own hands.

Snowdrops and tulips

Primroses are truly festive flowers. Such spring bouquets with their own hands in kindergarten can create and kids as a gift for the Eighth March or Mother's Day.

The technology of making petals is simple. We cut the narrow and long strips along the corrugation. Exactly in the middle fold it, at the bend point, rotate 360 degrees, and add both parts together. The place of turnover will be the top of the petal. Straighten it and stretch it a bit, making it convex.

The ready flower is assembled very simply: one petal is wound on the base with a thread, overlap with the second and the crown is crowned with a third. You need to calculate the width of the overlap in such a way that it is the 3 petals that create the finished flower. At the end we wind the stem with green paper and tie in the same color a long leaf or two, depending on the idea.

The most delicate crocuses

Here we have already learned how to make the most simple spring bouquets with our own hands. You can try to create something more complicated. For example, take gentle crocuses from crepe.

For work you need paper purple, green and gentle yellow color. We cut out a strip of yellow paper and cut it into several narrow stripes, which are twisted into a tube. It is important not to cut them to the end, but leave them as a ribbon from petals. It will be stamens.

From violet paper, we cut oval petals. On the edge we twist them a little, creating a tight outer frame. From the green paper in the same way, make long leaves.

We collect flowers on a flexible floristic wire. First we wind the stamens on it and fix it. Then we pull the petals. Everyone next should find a little for the previous one. For one flower we use 5 petals. We wrap the stem with green paper and glue the leaf. It remains only to form a ready bouquet and give.

Apple tree color

There is another interesting hand-crafted article. Spring bouquet is attached to the natural twig. This is actually not a bouquet, but an imitation of a flowering tree. Its implementation requires a certain skill and skill.

The description of the work looks like this. We select the branch-base, on which the maximum number of small knots. This will be the places on which the flowers are fastened.

Making them is very similar to crocuses. Only the shape of the petals is more round at the top, and the crown itself is more razlogaya.

The main thing here is to withstand the believable form of a flower and leaves. All the rest is a matter of technology. The flowers are collected separately. First the stamens, then the petals. Then, using glue, they are attached to the branch.

One or three flowering twigs will delight you for more than a month, because the advantage of such bouquets is that they do not fade and do not crumble.

Bouquets with a surprise

You can make not quite the usual spring bouquets by yourself. Photos of such masterpieces will be the property of a family photo album, and a surprise hidden in a flower will please the person to whom this bouquet is intended.

The secret of this gift lies in the fact that the core is used for sweets. The stamen is first fastened to sweetness. It is very important not to damage its factory packaging.

When the core is securely fastened, a flower is gathered around it. In this case, you can use the simplest methods. The main thing is to do it with the soul.

If you can not collect a neat flower, you can try to attach the candies on the stem, creating a sweet bunch. It will become the highlight of the composition.

For such purposes, candy is better to take with a bright and colorful wrapper. Or you can wrap them with beautiful wrapping paper. In this case, success is guaranteed.

Reason for creativity

You can create spring flowers from corrugated paper for any reason. For this, it is not necessary to wait for the holiday.

Children of 5-8 years will be happy to help their mothers in this fascinating business. Creating beautiful things together with children is not only interesting, but also useful. This develops in them the ability to see the beautiful in ordinary things, sharpens their aesthetic taste.

Creativity is possible even by impromptu. Imagine how unusual the spring bouquets look, with their own hands made of napkins created literally a couple of minutes before the celebration. Techniques of working with this material are the same as with corrugated paper. But the effect will be unrivaled. Make a small bouquet of each guest - and guaranteed a great mood for the whole holiday.

You can create beauty always and everywhere. It is not so important what materials are used for this. The main thing is that the process brings joy and pleasure. Then every product will come with a soul.
