Greetings. We continue the theme of paper crafts. Recently we made tulips, and today I want to create the queen of flowers - a rose. It looks very good in any interior and on any application.
It is often made to decorate gifts or holiday decor. For example, large voluminous roses can decorate a wedding, birthday or International Women's Day, and also become the main decor for a photo zone.
I have selected the most understandable master classes, following which step by step, you will definitely succeed. There are easy options that can be made with children, and there are more complex ones that need to be created carefully. But absolutely everything is doable, so let's get started.
Step-by-step instructions on how to make a rose using the origami technique
I think that starting from school, most children have done origami at least once. Even in its simplest form, for example, they made airplanes or paper weapons.
Making a flower is a little more difficult, but it is quite possible for both a schoolchild and an adult. Today I will share with you 4 step-by-step diagrams that show you step by step what needs to be done to make a rose.
So, the first diagram is in front of you. For it you need to take a square sheet, you can cut an A4 landscape page. I advise you not to use small sheets if you are just learning this technique.
The second diagram is incredibly detailed. She describes each step that needs to be done in order for you to get this flower.
Origami does not involve the use of glue and scissors. But in this case, we will need to make more beautiful leaves, so we will give them a little shape at the last stage.
The following diagram shows how to make a rose from modular origami. This option is interesting, but also more labor-intensive than the previous two. Also, each step is described in detail, which will be convenient for those who are just beginning to hone their skills in this technique.
I suggest you watch the video in which the master makes an unusual beauty that also curls up into a cube. This idea interested me, so I’m sharing it with you.
You can use not only colored sheets, but also newspapers.
tiered flower
How to make small paper roses? Not everyone needs giant color options. If you are making roses for cards, then you will be satisfied with cute flowers that fit well in the palm of your hand. To make these flowers, you will need to draw a pattern. It will be shaped like a drop. But the tip of the stencil will not be sharp, but cut off. Create petals of three different sizes. These will be leaves of different tiers. Now a cut should be made on each lower part of the petal. Using glue, glue the cut parts together with an overlap. Why complicate your life and why can't you collect the leaves without additional cutting and gluing? Similar manipulations with the craft must be done so that your product is voluminous and not flat. Assemble each tier separately, and then glue them together like a pyramid. There will be a larger part at the base, and a smaller one at the top. You can decorate the center of the rose with any available material. For example, cut out stamens from colored paper, make them from wire, or make them from thin twigs. To make the flower look more decorative, glue a rhinestone or bead inside it.
Volumetric rose made of corrugated paper with a candy inside with a template
It is now popular to make wonderful sweets with a surprise from corrugated paper. The whole craft is wrapped around a candy. And most often such compositions are created for gifts. These roses look like real ones and are not very difficult to make.
I will give three instructions on how to make such beauties. They differ in the shape of the petals. By this I want to show that the chosen shape and size will greatly change the appearance of the flower.
In addition to corrugated, you can use crepe; it is also great for the techniques described. For one rose you need to cut three different petal shapes. The widest goes to the outer layers. And the narrowest ones create the middle and wrap the candy.
1. The necessary details are in front of you.
2. Each petal needs to be stretched in the middle and the edges should be curled with your fingers. They have already become like real ones.
3. We begin to wrap the candy.
To ensure that all layers adhere better, use hot glue to secure the bottom of the parts.
4. Layer by layer we apply the parts and fix the end of the bud with thread to keep the candy inside well. But this needs to be done by wrapping the bottom of the flower with wire or a kebab skewer. They will act as a stem for us.
This is what the result looks like from above.
6. Open the petals.
The next master class is very similar in the sequence of stages, but has a different shape of petals. Three sizes are also used here, but they all have the same shape.
I suggest trying to make flowers from unusually shaped parts.
There are two types of them used. One of which is a perky heart.
For one rose you need at least five petals, the more there are, the more fluffy and open it will be.
If you do it without candy, then immediately attach the first petal to the wire with hot glue.
We stretch all the parts a little in width, they become concave and we curl the edges to make them more similar to the real ones.
We begin to collect the bud. First we take narrow and then wide prepared parts.
For those who do not have professional materials for such products, I advise you to use the same crepe or corrugated paper to wrap the stem.
If you use several shades, you get bright and beautiful compositions.
To make the flower more realistic, select sheets of several shades of the same color, from dark to light, so you can create a natural gradient that all plants have.
Simple roses
What could be easier than cutting a sheet of paper into thin strips? Nothing. What beautiful things can be made from a thin strip? Simple paper roses take just a minute to assemble. How to make an interesting and very easy flower? To make it you will need thick double-sided colored paper. Cut the leaf into strips approximately 3-5 cm thick. The length of your workpiece will determine the splendor of the bud. If you are collecting a bouquet, then you should think about the fact that there should be roses of different diameters and different densities. So make blanks of different sizes. How to make roses from strips of paper? Twist the workpiece into a tube, and then slightly recess the middle of the spiral inward. Seal the tail with paper tape so that the product takes a stable shape and cannot fall apart. To do this, it is better to fix not only the end part of the strip, but also the beginning tail. The paper rose is almost ready. All that remains is to attach a stick to it and cut out the leaves. You can make a flower stem from a skewer, which should first be painted green. And the leaves can be made according to the same principle as a rose, only in this case the edges of the workpiece will need to be flattened at the top and bottom in order to make the leaf resemble the original.
How to make a paper flower with children?
The easiest way to make a craft with kids is to use napkins. They already have the required dimensions and are easy to roll and glue.
I offer an idea on how to quickly make a rose without glue.
Decorative napkins also provide several variations in how to fold the craft. The flowers turn out delicate and delicate.
Another simple option is to use a template. You draw a wavy spiral, cut along the outline and roll it, straightening each layer.
The same technique is shown below, but its difference is that the edges of the workpiece become frayed. They fold inward and thereby create a fluffy center.
Using the same spiral technique you can make slightly different flowers.
To do this, a template is drawn separately and cut along the lines. Do you see that the petals are more clearly defined here and there is a smooth edge?
Cut it along the contour.
And fold it from the end, correcting the outer petals.
You can finish the product with your fingers. The child will definitely be able to twist the part.
It is advisable to fill the bottom with hot glue so that the spiral does not unfold. This rose has the most beautiful and realistic petals than the results of previous versions using the spiral technique.
And one of the simplest options is to cut out a very ordinary spiral. Usually they start with this option, because it does not require any special skill at all.
I think that you liked the ideas and you will be able to create a beautiful decor.
For example, you can decorate a panel like this with flowers made using the techniques described above.
Origami
Making beautiful paper flowers is very easy. For example, you can make an origami rose. How to do it? To make such a craft, you will need many rectangles of thick double-sided paper. They should be the same not only in length, but also in width. A master class on paper roses is given above. How to repeat the result from the picture step by step? The first thing you need to do is make the middle. Fold one of the leaves in half and then roll it into a tube. Now you can start creating the petals. The edges of each rectangle from different sides need to be folded down into a triangle, and then the acute corner should be folded again. Bend the petals so that they clasp the middle. If the product falls apart because you are making it for the first time, you can use double-sided tape or glue to better secure the paper. Collect all the petals in a similar manner. The more layers your product has, the more magnificent the rose will look.
How to easily make a flower in five minutes with your own hands?
Incredibly beautiful buds can be made in just five minutes. And for this we will need corrugated paper again. We need a long strip five centimeters wide. The longer it is, the more blooming the flower you will get.
So, we bend the edge, turning it outward a little, as in the photo.
We do this along the entire length of the strip.
And we begin to twist it.
Don't forget to fix the edges.
Another fun and quick idea is created from tissue paper. It is thin and translucent. But it allows you to make voluminous crafts.
1. We need a rectangle, centimeters long and 7 centimeters wide.
2. Fold it in half so that the edges match.
3.And wrap the resulting workpiece around your finger with the fold upward.
4. Secure the bottom with a stapler and straighten the layers.
5. We will need a lot of these buds.
What creative people can’t come up with! For example, make beauty out of egg trays. It’s both environmentally friendly and looks amazing. All instructions are shown in the diagram.
Another quick rose idea. True, it is more labor-intensive than the previous ones, but it will not take more than fifteen minutes for an adult.
If you don't have such shaped staplers, cut out the parts by hand. But such assistants are sold in most office supply stores. And the kids will definitely appreciate such a purchase.
We will need parts of the same size, but with different numbers of petals. Therefore, we take three parts and make cuts in each. For the first we only cut one line, for the second we cut out a petal, for the third we remove two.
Roll up each piece and cut off the bottom.
Glue each piece together and see if your result is similar to the image.
We form the center from the cut petal, attaching it to the wire. Then we insert this part into the trefoil, then into the middle blank.
The outermost will be the largest. We remember that all layers need to be secured so that the craft does not fall apart.
This option works well from thick sheets or cardboard. It will be especially beautiful if you take a sheet with texture or reliefs. By the way, all these options can be repeated from felt. If suddenly you have such a desire.
Peony rose
Today, roses are in fashion, which are very similar to peonies. It is not surprising that these flowers are loved not only by florists, but also by needlewomen. How to easily make a paper rose? To make it you will need thin sheets of three colors. The central part of the rose will be pink, the edge of the flower will be dark pink, and the lower part will be green. For the top part you will need 4-6 sheets, and for the remaining parts you will need 2-3 sheets of different colors. How to make a rose from paper? Instructions with a step-by-step explanation of the operation are given above. You need to put all the sheets on top of each other, and then fold them like an accordion. Cut the right and left parts of the workpiece into a semicircle. Drag the middle of the workpiece with wire or thin rope. Now you need to lift the layers of paper one by one and fluff them up. The more layers you prepare, the more magnificent your flower will be. It will take about half an hour to make one such peony rose. But if you decide to give someone a craft as a gift, it’s better to immediately prepare three to five flowers. Then your bouquet will look lush and presentable.
Master class on a large paper rose for beginners with diagrams
Large flowers are popular now. They are made in different sizes, from standard to full size. These crafts are used to decorate photo studios, photo zones, decorate the interior, and simply give to each other.
This big beauty is made from crepe paper. Remember, above we looked at several options for petals that can be cut from corrugation? So, here we need heart-shaped parts.
The process is the same when creating ordinary flowers. We stretch each petal in width and bend the ends. A bud is assembled, around which layers of petals are glued.
For the stem, you can take a wire whose width corresponds to the volume of the bud. Of course, the thin one will not withstand it.
Here's a beauty for large spaces.
The craftswoman shows you the whole stage step by step. And it is almost the same as the previous one. But the details are many times greater.
All layers must be glued together, otherwise the petals simply won’t hold on under their own weight and will fall apart. You may need a whole pack of glue sticks because the parts are large.
Any woman can make such crafts. And then put your creation to decorate the hall or living room.
For large volumes, one roll may not be enough for you, so buy at least two of them.
Big roses
Today it is fashionable to decorate rooms with large flowers. Do you follow fashion trends and want to decorate the wall in your apartment with giant roses? This desire is easy to fulfill. How to make large flowers that will complement the interior in light colors? First you need to make preparations. Draw one of the petals on a piece of unnecessary wallpaper. In shape it should vaguely resemble a heart, but this shape should be exaggerated to make your flower more realistic. Make the same pattern in three different sizes. Then take sheets of tinted paper and start cutting. Count how many petals you need to make. There will be 7 large petals in the lowest tier. Make each subsequent sector with a decrease in one petal. You can fasten the workpieces with a moment, or you can use PVA glue. In the second case, the paper adhesion will be no less reliable, but the product will take much longer to dry.
How can you decorate a finished flower? You need to make a decorative center for the rose. The core can be decorated with metal fittings, as well as various beads and rhinestones.
Beautiful flower using quilling technique
Quilling has several directions. For example, there is laying out flat modules on the surface of the drawing. The results are bright and delicate compositions, but I will not describe this method today; it requires complete immersion in the technique. Today we will deal with a voluminous rose.
This option can be repeated with satin ribbons. You've probably already seen similar fabric flowers on brooches or other clothes. The sequence of actions is the same, but we use different material.
If you find it difficult to repeat the steps according to the scheme, then I suggest you watch the video in which the master shows how to fold the strip.
All the options I've given are beautiful and will help you out if you need to quickly decorate a gift or create decor for a holiday. And it’s also worth teaching children such wonderful creativity.
Roses with winding
Do you have tissue paper in soft pink? Then you can make a magnificent flower out of it. A master class on paper roses is given above. How to repeat a similar craft? First you need to find a stick that will become the base of the flower. For this purpose, you can use a skewer or any other smooth and durable thing, for example, a knitting needle. Pre-cut teardrop-shaped petals need to be wound onto the stick in layers. Since you initially take thin material, keep in mind that your product will be very fragile. Therefore, you should understand that such a rose will look good if it stands somewhere and not lies. But thanks to the transparency of its leaves, your product will be very similar to the original flower.
