Carnation from paper with your own hands

Carnation is a restrained and even austere flower. It is customary to give it mainly to men, to impose on the monuments on May 9 and other anniversaries of the end of hostilities. If a bouquet of carnations has appeared in the house, cat lovers should be careful - this flower is a deadly threat to pets, so in no case should they be allowed to eat by pets. An excellent alternative to a living bouquet is a carnation made of paper, made by own hands. You can place artificial flowers on postcards, panels and even put them in a vase - you only need a silent time and effort. We bring to your attention some ideas how to make carnations from paper, which can become an excellent decoration of the interior and a complement to the gift.

How to make a carnation from paper?

To make a carnation from paper, you need:

• sheets of colored paper of red and green colors;
• ruler with circles;
• scissors;
• glue;
• Styrofoam;
• thin wire;
• tweezers.

Progress

1. Cut out the patterns from the red paper in the form of flowers of 6 petals, each pierced in the middle with a needle or an awl. Minimum of templates should be five, better - more.
2. Fold each pattern three times in half, so that this kind of petal turned out.
3. We will stir petals on wet gauze or a napkin, wet paper is easier to correct and bend each petal into "accordion", then unfold.
4. On a piece of wire, 5 cm long, we put on a ball of foam, fix it with glue.
5. We put on the wire patterns, passing each through the circle in the ruler. To hide polystyrene, the flower can be wrung from above.
6. For buds, you can take a smaller number of parts, as well as cut out asterisks from green paper and paste them into a ready-made bud. Ready-made carnations from colored paper can be placed on a panel.

Carnation corrugated paper

For the production of flowers from corrugated (crepe) paper, we will need:

• corrugated paper of red, green and white colors;
• wooden skewers;
• ribbon for floristry;
• glue;
• scissors;
• wire.

Progress:

1. For one carnation you need 4 pieces of corrugated paper measuring 10 by 10 cm.
2. Fold each square in half and once again in half.
3. It turns out a square 5 by 5 cm, we bend it diagonally.
4. Raise the bottom edge.
5. The protruding part is cut in such a way that a triangle is formed.
6. We turn it to one fold and cut it out along the edge of the notch.
7. We unfold the leaf and cut it almost to the middle.
8. Thus we act with all four leaves for the future carnation.
9. Make a core - a piece of paper about 3 to 5 spread with glue and twist the top of the skewers.
10. In the center of each leaf we make a hole, pass it through the skewer, spread it with glue and lift the petals upward, forming a flower.
11. Similarly we do the three other leaves.
12. In order for the stem of the flower to turn green, we wrap it with a ribbon for floristry.
13. To make the leaves of the flower, we cut out from the green paper 2 strips measuring 10 by 3 cm and 2 more in size 5 by 3.
14. Cut off pieces of wire in such a way that they have enough for the entire length of the leaf with a margin for fastening to the stem.
15. Each leaf is bent in half, cutting corners to shape.
16. We attach to the flower first small leaves (photo of a carnation from corrugated paper 22), then large.
17. For a bouquet, you need at least three flowers. One of them can be made white.
18. A ready bouquet can be placed in a vase.

Also, three-dimensional cornflowers from corrugated paper will look spectacular on the postcard, but for it you need to take a cardboard of high density. If you have mastered carnations, you can proceed to create other colors: roses from corrugated paper , tulips or daffodils .
