General principles and rules
Despite the fact that flowers are made from corrugated paper differently, the principles of operation are the same. Here are some general rules that will help you make paper flowers with your own hands that are very similar to real ones.
Cut out several petals of the same size at once. To do this, fold the paper in several layers.
Petals are usually made in different sizes. Roses, for example, have at least four different ones, while daisies have 2-3. In general, you can follow the rule - the more petals a flower has, the more different sizes there are.
Don't try to make the petals and leaves perfectly even or exactly the same. In nature they are different and unique. The same should happen for you.
When twisting the petals onto the stem, press the wrapped part well with your fingers, twisting the paper around the stem.
The more tightly you press, the more tightly the petals will fit one to the other. By adjusting this force, flowers of different sizes and appearances can be obtained from absolutely identical petals.
- Coat each petal wound onto the stem with glue.
That, in fact, are all the rules. And one more thing: the stem is cooked first. It uses wire or sticks of different thicknesses, which are wrapped in a long thin strip of green corrugated paper.
The tape can be coated with glue and then screwed onto the base.
You can twist it dry and secure the edge with a drop of glue. One more point: if you are going to assemble a composition from flowers, leave the lower 1/3 of the stem without decoration - it will be easier to compose a bouquet.
poppies
Poppies from corrugated paper are very easy to make. It is important to find the right shade of scarlet. You will also need a small piece of black for the core.
But, if you don’t have it, you can use any dark one and then paint it black.
We make a poppy from corrugated paper like this:
Fold a small square from paper napkins of any color. We wrap it in black corrugated paper. If you don’t have black, take any dark one, then we’ll 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 them in a neat pile) and crush them into a ball.
- We disassemble the ball into petals.
- We take the core and wrap the first small petal around it from left to right.
- The second small petal partially overlaps the first, followed by the middle one, also overlapping it.
- 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 collected everything together, we insert the wire into the base, wrap the base with thread, and glue it. Wrap in green paper.
Poppy is one of the easiest flowers to make yourself from crepe paper.
At the same time, he looks very good. 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 like natural.
We use the same technology to 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 one side we cut it into thin strips (a couple of millimeters wide).
- We twist the resulting “noodles”, obtaining thin stamens.
- We wrap the stamens around the core, and then proceed according to the same algorithm.
Snowdrops
You will need: white and green corrugated paper, cotton wool, scissors, corn grits, glue gun, wire, polystyrene foam.
Master Class
- Prepare a piece of wire 25 cm long.
- Wrap cotton wool around the tip of the wire, apply a drop of glue and dip it in corn grits.
- Cut out 6 oblong petals from white paper and 3 leaves from green paper.
- Form the core of the snowdrop from 3 rectangles of white paper and do not forget to fix it with glue.
- Give the stem a curved shape.
- Cut a long, thin strip of green paper, then wrap it around the wire, securing it with glue periodically.
- Glue the leaves and petals.
- Make the required number of snowdrops in the same way.
- Insert snowdrops into foam and decorate to your liking.
Realistic lilies
You will need: corrugated paper of lilac, green and yellow colors, scissors, paints, brush, wire, glue gun, ruler, semolina, pencil.
Master Class
- Prepare a strip of lilac paper measuring 7 cm.
- Cut it into 6 equal pieces.
- Cut 6 petals from the blanks.
- Stretch the edges of the petals, then curl them with a pencil, giving them a realistic shape.
- Mix brown and purple paint, then paint specks on the petals with an almost dry brush.
- Prepare a piece of wire measuring 25 cm.
- Wrap the wire with a strip of green paper and secure with glue.
- Prepare a square of yellow paper, then make 5 cuts and twist the stamens.
- Apply a drop of glue to the tip of each filament, dip it in semolina and paint it brown.
- Prepare strips of green paper, cut in the leaves and stretch them slightly.
- Glue the stamens to the pistil.
- Glue the petals in a circle.
- Glue green paper at the base of the bud, forming a receptacle.
- Glue the leaves to the flower.
- Make the required number of lilies in the same way.

Large life-size corrugated flowers for hall decoration
Corrugated paper makes beautiful life-size flowers, which serve as a wonderful interior decoration. They are very often used to decorate shop windows and festive rooms.
Whatever, such a “handsome man” will look very unusual at home.
Necessary materials:
- Glue gun;
- Corrugated floral paper in green, pink and white colors;
- Cardboard (a box for equipment will do);
- Stationery knife or scissors;
- Metal-plastic pipe for the stem;
Subsequence:
- In this work we are making a growth peony. To create one flower you will need 3 meters of corrugated paper. Cut a piece of the desired size and fold it in half along its entire length.
- From the edge of the folded paper, measure a piece 5-6 cm long and fold it 3 times, as shown in the photo:
- We cut, not reaching the edge of the paper 3 cm.
- We cut the “separated” piece of paper on both sides, again without reaching the end.
- And give it the shape of a petal (about 20x8 cm).
- In this way we work through the entire amount of paper we have.
- The size of the petals on the second meter should be 22x10 cm.
- On the third - 24x12.
- Now, still without separating the petals, twist the free end of each of them into a flagellum:
- And then straighten it, giving it a slightly concave shape, like peony petals.
- Cut a circle 30 cm in diameter from cardboard.
- Cover it with pink paper on all sides. And using a glue gun, start planting petals in the center, going from smallest to largest.
This is the kind of peony you should get.
- Now twist a barrel from a metal-plastic pipe into the same shape as in the picture below.
- And cover it with green corrugated paper.
- Once planted on cardboard as shown in the photo instructions, attach the stem to the base of the peony.
- Disguise this unsightly part with pink paper, making a “skirt” out of it.
A life-size flower made of corrugated paper is ready. If you wish, you can attach green leaves to the trunk with wire or leave it as is.
These flowers can be used for a photo shoot:
And they just look attractive in the interior.
They often decorate rooms for various special events.
- For example, weddings or birthdays.
Looks quite interesting.
This is what it might look like at a party:
Option one
First of all, today we will learn how to create a rose bud like this. A flower with a small candy, such as “Hazelnuts in Chocolate”.
This master class will help you.
Take a piece of 6 cm (width) * 6 cm (height) of the desired color of corrugated paper and give it the following shape, as in the photo below. The top can be stretched with a wave.
Next, stretch it in the center to put the candy inside.
Secure the bud with a thread and insert a wire or skewer inside the tail.
It can be secured either with hot glue or, like mine, with a small strip of double-sided tape. We go over the top with narrow tape to secure everything well.
Cut out a sepal from green corrugation 3 cm wide and 5 cm high.
We attach the sepals and tape.
And so. The bud is ready for further decoration of your compositions.
How much time do you need to spend
Very relevant, due to the current busyness of everyday activities. We hasten to reassure you - this process will not take too much time.
If you have never carved from a zhmakanka, then making one artificial plant will take you from 30 to 40 minutes, of course, taking into account the preparation of tools and necessary materials.
Over time, as you gain practical experience in this matter, you will be able to reduce this time by half, that is, one will take 20 minutes of time.
This information gives some food for thought - whether to start your own business producing artificial decorations for banquet halls, but that’s a completely different story.
Making a masterpiece with your own hands is not at all difficult. All you need is a little patience, a lot of desire and follow the instructions.
Corrugated paper water lily
If you want to make an unusual decoration, a voluminous applique or an elegant flower for a gift box, then use these recommendations. Anyone can simulate a delicate pink version, having only corrugated paper of a suitable color on hand. E
This is an excellent craft option for children’s creativity, and also the activity of creating bright flowers can become a favorite hobby.
What you need to prepare for creative work:
- Corrugated paper in bright pink and bright green colors;
- Scissors;
- Cardboard circle base;
- Glue (anything that will stick paper together);
- Golden half beads for the middle or another suitable option.
- You need to cut small fragments from the corrugated paper, which will later become the petals and leaves of the flower. You can use the most ordinary glue in a pencil, which will perfectly glue the workpiece.
- Using the proposed principle, you can make any flower; the delicate coral color will look beautiful in the finished product, and we can assume that the resulting product looks like a lotus or water lily.
- Cut out a circle from any cardboard. Make several blanks for green leaves. Cut a piece of green corrugated paper into rectangles. Then stack them all and use scissors to cut out oval petals.
This way, all your pieces will be the same size. Next you just need to attach them to the base.
Stretch each petal to the sides. This can be done in bulk at once, stretching the entire prepared pile. Or process each leaf separately with your fingers.
After stretching, each part will acquire volume, becoming like a concave cup.
This is what we need to achieve, because the flower should be lush and elegant. On the underside (at the base), carefully coat each petal with glue. Glue it to the circle around the circumference. A total of 5 or 6 leaves will be enough.
Prepare the pink petals for the flower in a similar way. Also cut out a portion of rectangles, round and sharpen on both sides with scissors. Do everything at once, stacking the blanks in a stack. Stretch the petals to form an indentation.
You need to make more pink petals to be able to form several layers of a lush flower.
- Glue 3 or more layers of flower. Glue the petals around the circumference, lifting the tips up.
- And glue half beads inside the flower or come up with some other option for the middle. The inner part is a must, it immediately makes the product complete and elegant.
This is such an easy-to-make craft made from corrugated paper.
DIY foamiran flowers
Recently, foamiran - a decorative foam material, which is also called decorative suede, foam rubber and revelour - has become quite a popular raw material for crafts. If you want to try decorating your home for the holidays with it, take the material and cut out a rectangular strip of it with sides of 5 and 30 cm. Fold the strip in half lengthwise and thinly cut it evenly across. Slightly move one edge of the strip and glue its edges along its entire length. Then fold the strip into a flower, coating the edges with hot glue. When finished, lightly straighten the flower. If desired, it can then be glued to any base.
DIY corrugated paper roses step by step
The rose is a noble flower and at first glance it may seem that it is very difficult to create this miracle on your own.
We will show you simple master classes on making roses from corrugated paper with your own hands step by step, and you will be convinced that this mission is not only doable, but also very enjoyable.
You can make such a rose together with your child.
You can get larger and more lush roses with this simple master class:
- You need to cut a fairly long strip from corrugated paper (the larger the strip, the larger the bud will come out).
- We wrap the paper around the wire - this will be the base of the bud. When winding a bud, each layer must be wrapped with glue.
- We cut out the petals of our future rose from paper - different in size and shape, so that the rose seems natural.
- Glue the petals to the base, apply glue to the underside of the petal.
- We use green paper to make sepals, which we will glue to the base of the bud.
Bouquet of spring tulips
Tulips in a decorative basket will delight any birthday girl even on a non-holiday day. Instructions for creating crafts from corrugated paper:
- For the buds, you need to cut out paper blanks that have a rectangular shape.
- Each part should be treated with a hot iron, slightly stretched and released. This way the artist will get a wavy, realistic petal shape.
- The bud is sewn together using threads, and the upper edges are lightly glued together.
- For the stem, you can use strong wire or a wooden skewer wrapped in green crepe.
The flowers are placed in a wicker basket, tied with a satin ribbon.
