Гофрированная бумага своей легкой и сжатой The structure surprisingly resembles a delicate flower petal. Therefore, it is convenient to make from it those flowers in which it is necessary to transmit tenderness, imitate the grace and curvature of the inflorescences. If you try, the flowers of corrugated paper are strikingly similar to the real ones.

To our crafts turned out beautiful, you needBefore you begin work, know the history of each flower and the myths associated with it. We begin the story of how to make flowers from corrugated paper, with a wonderful and lush peony. One of the Greek myths tells about the disciple of the legendary healer Asclepius named Peon.

For the manufacture of pion need corrugatedpink and yellow paper, PVA glue, scissors, copper wire, cardboard and compasses. We cut pink corrugated paper into 3 strips 2.5 x 3.5 cm in size, and cut a piece for stamens from the yellow one - 7.5 x 2.5 cm. We cut three strips into 9 small rectangles - a total of 27 rectangles from corrugated paper. Each such rectangle is folded in half along the corrugation line, carefully forming the petals, squeezing the fold line and smoothing the edges. Cut out a circle with a diameter of 7.5 cm from cardboard with a pair of compasses and scissors. Sticking the first petal to the edge of the cardboard circle. Each subsequent petal is glued so that it slightly overlaps the previous one and is closer to the center of the circle - that is, we glue not in a circle, but in a spiral.

Do not stop, reaching the level of the firstpetal, and continue to glue the second layer. Glue it, cut off the remaining petals by 0.5 cm and glue them with a third layer, also in a spiral. We make the stamens: fold the yellow paper in half across the corrugation, finely chop the tips, forming a fringe, thread or glue, fix the stamens in a not very tight roll and attach to the middle of the flower. Flowers made of corrugated paper will be very stylish, if you take care of the stem. To do this, to the wire wrapped in green paper, you need to attach the leaves, cut from solid green paper.

Magnolia flowers are wonderful.It is said that the magnolia tree is the ancestor of all now flowering trees. It originated over 20 million years ago. How to make flowers from corrugated paper, so that they fully convey the elegance and fragility of magnolia? For this you need soft-pink corrugated paper, glue, scissors, wire, tape, cardboard. First, cut out of cardboard 2 stencils in the shape of an ellipse - large and small. Using a stencil of corrugated paper, we cut out 4 large and 4 small petals along the corrugation line. We form petals: we twist both edges of the ellipse slightly, and straighten the middle. The top end of the ellipse is refilled inside. We form a ball of tape, so that it does not unwind, you can use glue. To this "inflorescence" we glue small petals, then - large ones. We straighten the petals so that the flowers of corrugated paper look like they have just been picked.

Tulip homeland is Iran.In ancient Persia, this flower was called “tulipan” - after the headdress in the form of turban. And in England they believe that fairies or elves dwell in cups of tulip. Flowers made of corrugated paper, imitating tulips, are made very simply. To do this, cut along the corrugation line 6 strips of paper of any color measuring 2.5 × 17 cm. Each strip should be folded in half, squeezed and twisted the base, and the edges of both layers of paper should be straightened to form petals. Cover the wire for the stem with green paper. Place around the stem 3 petals, and then 3 outer so as to close the gaps. Form a bud. To keep the petals on the stem, secure them with a tape dipped in glue. Make leaves from thick green paper, attach them to the stem and twist lightly, like natural tulip leaves.
