Flowers made of crepe paper: tulips and crocuses

Any flowers from crepe paper turn out to be unusual and delicate. It is better to start with tulips or crocuses, whose buds are alike, and then go on to more complex creations. Crepe paper is unique in that it stretches and allows you to take any shape.

Crocuses from crepe paper

For crocuses, cut six rectangular strips (10 cm long and 2 cm wide). Now take the strip, bend it in half and twist once in the middle. Form the fingers of the petal, giving it a bulge. At the bottom of the corners bend. For the leaves, cut off long narrow rectangles. One edge is sharpened with scissors, the other is left.

Now make an interesting core. By the way, she can decorate any flowers from a crepe paper. From the wire length of 15 centimeters from one edge, twist the loop. Cut the rectangle of orange color 3x5 cm. Finge the top of the rectangle with the fingers. Next, attach the wire to the rectangle, stretched up from the wrong side, spread the glue and bend the centimeter, covering the loop.

Now the entire rectangle is coated with glue and gently rolled into the tube with the wire. Stretched up try not to touch. That is, you get a twisted orange leg with a triangular stamen. Then, to the resulting core, glue the petals in staggered order, wrap the stem with green paper and glue the leaves.

Tulips made from crepe paper

For one flower, you need to take six 8-centimeter rectangles with a width of 3 centimeters. Lay them on top of each other and cut out the oval petal of the tulip. Also from the green paper cut out the tall wide rectangles (about 10 centimeters in length and 5 cm in width). Place two rectangles on top of each other and form a wide sheet.

Now correct the petals of the tulip. Take the petal in your hands and begin to stretch it with your fingers in opposite directions, creating a convex shape. You can use a tennis ball, which stretches the petal. Further, just bend the leaves.

Now take the wires and make 6 stamens and one pestle made of beads and bugles. Or bend the wires from one edge to 5 mm, these will be stamens. Dip them into the PVA glue and then into the colored semolina. Leave to dry.

Now on the wire collect stamens, wrap them with petals. Stalk wrap with green paper, in some places spreading glue. Attach the leaves. You get beautiful flowers made of crepe paper.

Opened tulip

First make the core of the tulip. To do this, from the green and yellow paper cut out thin strips and twist them into the tubes. At green stamens twist a paper with a wire and one edge bend in a circle, like a mustache in a butterfly. Yellow stamens slightly pressed against one edge in a lump. Next, collect all the stamens together with the wire and wrap them with green paper. It will be a stalk.

Now make the petals. To do this, also from the rectangle cut out a wide petal of the tulip. With your hands stretch the petal to the width and the edges along the length twist inward to get a sharp-nosed corner. Also, from the strips of yellow paper with a length of petal, fold the tubes together with a thin wire. It is glued to the middle of the petal. With her help, flowers from crepe paper will get the right bend.

You make six such petals and fasten them to the stem, which you wrap with green paper. Also make wide long leaves. Hands on the edges bend into the tubes, forming a sharp corner. To the middle, glue the tube with the wire and attach it to the stem.

Terry Tulips

The crepe paper keeps the form very well. Cut a wide rectangle and pull it onto the wide bottom of the mug. First, the petal already assumes a convex shape. And secondly, with the help of paints you can apply an unusual coloring.

By the way, if you place three rectangles on each side of the mug, you can paint them all at once. Fingers bending the petals, get a wide three-leaf petal. It will be a large tulip, therefore you make a wide core.

Take a long rectangular strip (5-6 cm wide), cut it into strips. And twist them until cut. Then take the stem (skewer, wand, wire), wrap it with green paper and wrap it on the core. Edge glue, and stamen fluff.

Now glue the petals and leaves to the core. Spread the tulip and leaves. The multicolored flowers were made of crepe paper. Color schemes are simple, so they can be done with children. And if you use candy instead of stamens, you get an interesting sweet gift.
