People learned to decorate their life back in those days when the first dwellings appeared. Most often, the decor was played by flowers, as the most affordable option. Homemade roses from corrugated paper will be an excellent decoration of the holiday, and a bouquet of them, especially with the addition of sweets, will be an original gift.
Corrugated paper is a thin elastic, easily extensible cellulose web used as packaging material for decorating various products, making crafts, and in floristry. The corrugation is usually performed in a single color - an image is rarely applied to it, since the pattern is blurry.Two main types of material are available:
corrugated - dense, has waves of various heights, is usually used as packaging;
creped - thin, light, covered with tiny folds, very decorative, used in scrapbooking, suite design, to create topiary, etc.
Corrugated material is easy to process, stretches, changes shape. Flowers come out of it quite realistic, have a beautiful appearance.
Corrugated paper is made mainly from recycled materials, because its price is relatively low, and the material itself is environmentally friendly.
Materials, tools for creativity
In order to work with paper, related materials, the following tools will be required:
crepe paper itself;
straight sharp scissors;
scissors with wave-like blades, cloves;
glue stick or PVA;
a simple pencil;
colored gel pens;
gouache, acrylic;
brushes of various shapes, thickness;
foil;
multi-colored shreds;
needles, threads;
beads;
wire;
color adhesive tape;
foam balls;
wooden sticks, toothpicks;
ribbons
baskets.
For the manufacture of flowers, special floristic paper is used, on which there are transverse stripes. Distinguish the material by the size of the flutes - small folds. There are three varieties:
A - flute height 4.8 mm, used primarily as a package;
B - a 3.2 mm tall flute, used to make growth flowers;
E - flute size 1.6 mm, great for creating small flowers, gift bouquets from them.
Master classes in making roses
There are many ways to make paper roses. They are made miniature or gigantic, placed individually in the space of a room or presented as a gift with a whole bouquet. Also, photo frames, postcards, lamps, curtains, hats, holiday hairstyles, “candy” baskets and much more are decorated with similar products.Some lovers of paper crafts even managed to establish their own business - the creation of corrugated flowers for decorating festive, including wedding, and other festive interiors.
Delicate rose - instructions for beginners
The flower consists of a stalk, several petals, sepals. To make the simplest rose, you will need green and pink corrugated paper, green scotch tape, a stick for the stalk, scissors.
What to do step by step:
five teardrop-shaped petals are cut from pink corrugated paper, plus 15 in the shape of hearts;
details are slightly stretched to the sides, the stem is wrapped with colored tape;
the middle of the bud is made of petals-drops laid in a circular, 15 pieces of “hearts” are attached on top;
all parts are fixed with glue, adhesive tape;
then triangular leaflets are cut out of green paper, which are attached with green tape in the lower part of the bud;
the structure is attached to the wire stem.
Making a bud
A more “complex” rose looks more realistic, it will take a little longer to complete it. To make it you will need: pink (red, orange, white, cream or other beautiful) paper to make the petals themselves, grassy green for sepals. Also, a glue gun, wire or stick for the stem, toothpicks to “twist” the petals, scissors for cutting paper, thin threads are also useful.
Approximate progress:
first you need to make blanks - this is one base of crepe paper, measuring 8 by 8 cm, six elements 3 by 8 cm, seven parts 4 by 8 cm;
the upper corners of the rectangles are cut off so that the petals become rounded, slightly tapering to the base;
then they take a toothpick, wind the sides on it at an angle of about 45 degrees - the petals should take the shape of a boat;
the widest, square petal is processed differently - the middle is carefully pulled out from it, into which a foam ball or a real round candy is wrapped, the lower part is wrapped with a thread in tone;
the first petal is wound on top, then, with a slight overlap, the second and all the others;
after the sepal is “built” - to do this, take part 8 by 9 cm, cut into corners or teeth, leaving one and a half centimeters from the edge;
each tooth is vertically incised on both sides, twisted;
with a thermal gun, the sepals are glued to the bud;
then you can begin to create, design a stalk or twig.
Rose with candy
A rose inside which a delicious candy or even a few is placed is an interesting idea for a handmade gift. From several of these flowers make up a bouquet, a flower basket, etc. To make a rose on a “leg” with a candy inside, a loop is twisted from a floral wire to hide inside the bud, supporting it, larger blanks are cut out than in the “candy-free” version.
The dimensions of the petals here are 8 by 9 cm, the more details are completed, the more magnificent, luxurious the flower will come out. The candy is tightly wrapped around the first petal, the bottom is fixed with a thread so that it does not fall out. The next part is slightly stretched, wound on top, but with an offset to the side, after which add another 9-13 petals. The sepals are glued at the very end - before this paper they wrap the stalk.
If desired, additionally create realistic lower leaves, fixing them on a wire.
Large roses for decoration
Decorated even with several huge roses, the room immediately takes on a festive look. Growing flowers are an ideal background for festive photo shoots, children's parties, creating romantic interiors, etc. They will need a lot of material - at least two or three rolls, but the result will exceed all expectations. It is also necessary to make a rigid base from corrugated cardboard, cut with scissors according to a certain pattern. You will also need “hot glue”, a bending metal-plastic tube, a flexible wire for leaves, a large ball of polystyrene foam, threads, synthetic winterizer, foamiran, beautiful fabric, etc.
To complete the rosette, you need more than three meters of paper. The sizes of the petals here are 15 by 25 cm (seven parts) and 20 by 25 cm (nine pieces). Each petal evenly curls outward, but bends in the middle. After the cardboard base is cut out - in the form of a circle, with a diameter of 15 cm. A ball of plastic or polystyrene 5–9 cm in size is glued into the middle of the base, it is “wrapped” with the first petal, the rest are glued around, slightly stretched. From a metal-plastic pipe, at least three meters long, twist the stand, the lower "loop" of which rests on the floor, and the bud is glued to the upper. The junction is decorated with a paper skirt-sepal, the “trunk” itself is wrapped with paper or painted, at the very bottom they make a paper “lawn” or do not draw up anyway.
To make leaves and spines, a suitable frame is made of wire. The leaf-branch consists of a middle “core” and three to five branches, on the tip of each of which there is a leaf, slightly twisted outward, securely glued.
When using double-sided colored paper, the product comes out even more interesting, more original.
The assembly of a bouquet of corrugated roses
Flowers from crepe paper are most often collected in bouquets in which the stems, additional leaves, twigs are tightly wound together with adhesive tape, and on top - with decorative tape. The height of the composition is exactly such that it is convenient to hold onto the “trunk” with your hand, the number of flowers is at least three.
Roses in a hat box, a basket, a liter ice-cream bucket look more solid, especially if there is a tasty surprise inside each rose. The box itself is pasted over with fabric, crepe paper, wallpaper, girdled with ribbon, decorated with beads and sparkles. It is advisable to use flowers of different colors - light along the edge, darker in the center. A piece of thick polystyrene is glued to the bottom, into which middle roses are stuck on thin wires, while the latter are usually glued to the sides from the inside.Between the buds themselves, paper, other artificial leaves are evenly inserted.
Conclusion
Large and small volumetric roses, made by hand, will decorate any room, giving it an original, festive appearance. Step-by-step master classes are easy to find on the Internet, on needlework sites or on glossy magazine pages. Even the child who knows how to hold scissors, cut, fold paper, use glue can cope with the simplest of them.
