Tulips made of paper. A few simple tricks for creativity

The country of tulips is Holland, however, the birthplace of this bright beautiful flower is ancient Persia. The shape of the tulip resembles a tall Persian turban - that's why it's called that name. Many beautiful legends and wonderful legends are associated with this flower. The unusual shape of the flower head resembles a cup filled with red, like blood, wine, and the closed bud is a tender mysterious box where, according to ancient traditions, happiness is concluded. In ancient English and Scandinavian tales, the tulip flower served as a cradle for small fairy-tale creatures - elves and flower fairies. Delicate silk petals were their safe hiding place in the night garden. Pass the beauty and shape of the flower with the help of various materials is not difficult. A few simple techniques allow you to make tulips from paper, taking up this creativity with children, and create a bright colored bouquet.

Tulip - volumetric application

To work, you need a color thin (perhaps, cigarette) paper bright red or delicate pink, yellow, lilac tones, as well as green for leaves and stems, scissors. Volumetric tulips from paper will decorate a greeting card or a paper box with a gift.

1. Add a sheet of colored paper with equal sides (square 10x10) in a diagonal, then fold the triangle once again in half along the central axis, fold the fold, then straighten the triangle to the initial position.

2. Put the triangle at a right angle up. We lay one third of the upper corner to the right and designate this distance as a point. From the middle of the lower side (where there was a fold) we set the dotted line to the point. On this line, bend the right lower acute angle upwards. Do the same thing on the left side of the triangle, bending the sharp bottom corner on top of the right.

3. The average vertex triangle is bent downwards (one layer). From the bottom corner of the folded bud we measure 2 cm and along this line we make a bend from itself under the bud. On the side, we fold the folded figure and insert the crease that was formed at the fold inwards. Make tulips from paper in different colors and collect a small bouquet.

4. For the stem, the square of green paper 10x10 is folded diagonally. Determine the central diagonal. We wrap first one edge of the square to the diagonal line, then the other. Then we add the resulting figure to the previously planned diagonal. It was a triangle with sharp angles from below and from above.

5. The lower corner is wrapped upward, making the bend slightly below the middle of the part so that the stalk with the sheet turns out. We collect the items together and attach them to a postcard or a box.

Volumetric tulips made of paper

Fine corrugated paper is perfect for making flowers. From yellow, pink or red we make a tulip. For the bud we cut along the corrugated folds of paper strips 3 and 18 cm wide. For one flower, six pieces are needed. Each strip in the center is twisted twice and folded in half. Layers of paper stretch from the sides, giving them the shape of a convex petal. Each turned petal is twisted at the base. On the wire wrapped with green paper, first we screw on the three inner petals, then the three outer ones, using a thin strip of green paper, the tip is fixed with glue. We cut out the sheet in the form of a double sheet of corrugated paper, attach it to the volume and attach it to the stem. Tulips from corrugated paper of different colors can be made into a bouquet.

There are also ways of making flowers in the origami technique . Tulip made of paper, folded with simple or modular technique, is also a fascinating kind of creativity that you can do with children. Comprehension of ancient Japanese art develops assiduity, accuracy and creative thinking.
