Advice
To make future flowers beautiful and resistant, you need to choose the right napkins. If you make airy and light flowers, then single-layer napkins will suit your work. If these are more complex products, then it is better to choose dense and multi-layer options.
Also try to pay attention to color. Napkins should be the same color on one and the other. After all, otherwise the flower will turn out not neat.
Remember that it is better not to choose scented napkins in flower crafts.
Bouquets
Carnations
- You will need bright, colored napkins to help create a beautiful and colorful flower. Take 3 pieces of napkins and wrap their edge, as indicated in the photo. After that, you need to roll napkins in this way along the entire length, and wrap the middle with a beautiful thread.
- Then carefully cut the edge of the folded napkins with scissors, making a wavy cut. We cut only on the one hand. The result is a beautiful flower, on a comfortable leg.
Bouquet of roses
- Take a pack of yellow napkins, thick threads, a pencil and get to work. We start with a pencil. Attach a pencil to the beginning of the napkin at the very bottom, as indicated in the photo and wind a little napkin on it. Then gently pull out the pencil and make 8 more such petals.
- And now we spirally lay our petals, wrapping the following petals as if in a checkerboard pattern. When all the petals are laid, tie the base of the rose with thick threads.
Bright daisies
You'll need:
- Stapler;
- Multi-colored napkins;
- Scissors;
- Glue gun;
- Foam ball (for base)
- Any flower pot;
- Satin ribbons.
Manufacturing process:
- First, take our napkin and fold it in half. Then one more time, and then fasten in the center with a stapler. Then you need to cut a circle out of these napkins. Lift layer by layer of napkin to make something like a daisy bud. Do not crush all layers at once, but only one at a time. It will turn out a beautiful and voluminous flower.
- Now go to the bottom of the bouquet. You need a foam ball with a diameter of about 20 cm, for which you need about 50 pieces of daisy buds. The ball itself needs to be painted green to resemble grass. When the paint dries, proceed to gluing our buds.
- You can make the buds yourself from napkins of different colors to make your future bouquet look brighter. The foam ball should be put in a flower pot, and begin to glue the ball at the base. Gradually move upward, trying as tightly as possible to fill the ball with buds of daisies.
Napkin flowers for beginners
Lotus
- Take a square, dense napkin and unfold it in a full square. You can choose any color of the napkin, the main thing is that it be bright.
- After all four corners of the napkin, you need to wrap it in the middle.
- Turn over our napkin and again bend all the corners in the middle.
- Lift the corner of the napkin on the back side as indicated in the photo and pull the corner up. Hold the rest of the napkin so that its shape does not fall apart.
- We do the same with the other corners, as with the first. We get such sharp petals.
- The lotus flower is ready. To make it more beautiful, you can stick more small strips of white napkin in the middle.
Dandelion
- To make a dandelion you will need yellow napkins. Take a few napkins and cut them into small squares. After the squares you need to chop in the center with a stapler and make a circle out of them.
- When the circle is ready, make small cuts around its circle, and then begin to lift layer by layer and fluff the napkin.
Volumetric buds
- Take a pair of bright napkins and form a triangle from the square. Then fold it in half and cut an acute angle. On the rest, draw a semblance of a petal and cut it along the contour.
- We straighten our napkin and get a beautiful, curly layer. Now we need to make several layers of such layers so that our bud is voluminous. When you have made enough layers, then make a hole in the center of our flower and put a thread into it, holding all the layers together. We expand all our petals so that the volume is larger.
A couple of interesting ideas
the Rose
- A beautiful rose needs to be made from a plain red or pink napkin. But here is already at will. Take a napkin and bend it from one edge to 1 cm. After the napkin, you need to wind it on your index finger to form a cylinder.
- We squeeze and scroll the napkin, as a result of which a rose bud is formed. Now go to the petals. They need to be dissolved, starting from the bent layer, gradually moving forward, as if in a spiral.
- If you want a stem in your rose, then you need to fully unfold the napkin and twist its edge a couple of centimeters. The result is a thin tube. Slowly wrap the bud, as indicated in the photo, and then completely turn off the entire napkin, except for one corner, which will be our leaflet.
Poppy
- From a red napkin you need to cut two circles: one less, the other more. Then you need to put a small circle on a large one and pass a wire in the center of them. To prevent the wire from popping out of the hole, you need to make a small loop, as indicated in the photo.
- And we wrap the rest of the wire, which is now the stalk of the poppy, with green tape or tape. Poppy petals should be raised up to give them volume.
