Do you need to decorate a party or just add color to the design of an apartment or room? Why not fill the room with flowers, but not simple ones, but from napkins. Perhaps live flowers are better, plus they drain a lovely fragrance. However, they have several significant disadvantages: they are very expensive, and besides, they fade after a few days. Napkin flowers or even bouquets: easy to make, very cheap material to work with, great gift for loved ones, and the aroma can be given with a few drops of perfume or fragrance.
In this article, we have collected the most popular and unusual master classes for the production of artificial paper flowers. It is enough to follow the step-by-step instructions with a photo to create a bouquet of roses, a few peony or carnations, as well as dandelions. Using the knowledge gained, you can easily make absolutely any flower with your own hands in a wide variety of colors.
Step-by-step master class: peonies from napkins
In order to make one flower, you need to prepare a bright multilayer napkin. It is most common to make a red peony, but there are no restrictions on the color, even purple and green will look great.
You do not need to unfold the napkin, but be sure to tear off a small strip, up to 1 cm, from both sides of the square. This will give the final craft more realism.
To form a bud, unfold the napkin so that you get a rectangle. Then fold it into an accordion with a strip width of up to one or two centimeters. And so that everything stays in a heap, tie an accordion in the middle with a torn piece.
And so, the final stage is the creation of a full-fledged bud. The resulting accordion must be fluffed up to make a pompom. Napkin is a very malleable material, don't be afraid to experiment.
The resulting bud can be attached to a wire stem and get a full-fledged branch, several of these products and a bouquet is ready. However, this is not the only way to use it, for example: as a pompom to decorate a dress or create a whole topiary.
Dandelion field from a napkin, do it yourself
Almost everyone saw a dandelion flower, and many even wove wreaths from it. We propose to make a copy of it, but from paper. To work, you need only 3 things: yellow napkins, scissors and an office stapler. In addition, such crafts are even children from elementary grades or kindergarten can create in labor lessons.
Initially, you need to decide on the size of the final flower. Divide the napkin into squares, we suggest trying to quarter it, if the size is large, they can always be reduced. And so that the squares do not scatter, fasten them in the center with stapler staples. For greater security, fasten two brackets.
Give the resulting workpiece round shape just cut off the corners with scissors. When the workpiece has acquired a round shape, make cuts in a circle, no more than a third of the diameter deep.
As in the previous master class, you need to form a bud. To do this, just lift each layer of napkins and crumple it.
This method is also suitable for making almost any flower, be it a rose or a chrysanthemum. It is enough to change the shape of the blank and cut out not a circle, but the contours of the plant you are interested in.
How to make a rose from a napkin?
There are several ways to make this flower. We will look at three main ones.
Paper rose - method number 1:
All the same multilayer napkin must be fully unfolded and cut into longitudinal strips ranging in size from 3 to 5 centimeters. Then wind them on your finger to get a small cylinder.
The other part of the cylinder, which is not on the finger, must be twisted tightly so that a small leg is obtained, and the workpiece does not unwind afterwards. On the other hand, begin to bend the napkin so that the petals are obtained.
The bud is ready, it remains to attach the leg. You need to attach a stem for a flower to the process on the bud, just wind a small tube from a green napkin.
Paper rose - method number 2:
Use a single-layer napkin, as in the previous version, unfold it. Next, take a pencil and put it on the edge. Start winding the napkin around it, about half way. Then squeeze the resulting sausage a little and remove it from the pencil.
It is necessary to prepare 5-6 such blanks. Next, you need to put them together, winding one on top of the other - in a spiral, while thickening the bud itself. This is clearly seen in the photo below.
To fix everything and hide the extra parts, attach another napkin, preferably of a different color, to the resulting legs and tie everything with a decorative ribbon.
If you did everything right, then you should have a beautiful boutonniere. It's perfect for decorating. holiday table or party decorations.
Paper rose - method number 3:
For this type of artificial rose, you need to prepare a special napkin - round with lace. It is enough to make an incision to the middle of the circle and twist the paper into a spiral. Be sure to twist the tail so that the structure holds and there is a beginning for the stem. As in the previous master class, the leg is made from a green napkin.
paper carnation flower
This type of flowers are quite delicate and beautiful. And for work, it is necessary to prepare not only white napkins with scissors, but also colored felt-tip pens, and even better - paint.
This technique is practically no different from the previous ones. The napkin also needs to be folded into a pile, secured with a stapler, thread or hairpin, then knead and lift the edges. The only difference is that the edges of the napkin, before the final collection, need to be painted with a felt-tip pen or soaked in paint.
Developmental classes are very important point in raising a child. Thanks to this original way creating crafts, like an applique, the baby develops fine motor skills of the hands, as well as imagination, perception of the color rendering of objects and their shapes.
The process of studying with children can be accompanied by riddles and stories about the object of creativity, which contributes not only to the development of physical skills in mastering the skill, but also to an increase in the level of intelligence. This article will tell you how to make a Dandelion appliqué. The process of creating crafts will be accompanied by photographs, which describe in detail the principle of creating crafts.
Master class: application "Yellow dandelion" from napkins and paper
This type of application is called voluminous, since with the help of ordinary table napkins, an artificial dandelion can be given a rounded and air form. For the creative process, you need to prepare everything necessary materials and tools, namely:
- table napkins yellow color- 3 pieces;
- colored cardboard (to create a background);
- corrugated paper (for the stem);
- colored paper (for leaves);
- stapler with staples;
- PVA glue (liquid or in the form of a pencil).
When all the necessary materials are prepared, you can start creating the application.
Dandelion, as noted earlier, will be made from table napkins. It is necessary to fold the napkin four times, forming a small square, and then fix the resulting shape in its center with a stapler.
To be sure of the strength of the fastener, you can pin another bracket so that a cross is formed in the middle of the square. Then you need to trim the edges of the shape, thereby creating a circle.
Next, you need to make neat cuts at the same distance from each other to a depth of 7-8 millimeters. Holding the middle of the future flower with your fingers, you should lift each layer of the napkin, turning the circle into a three-dimensional figure.
To create dandelion leaves, you need to make two rectangles for each flower and cut off their edges, thereby creating denticles in the likeness of those that a living plant has.
From corrugated paper make the stem of the plant. It will hold the head of the flower. The paper just needs to be twisted into a tight tube.
The final step will be the collection of applications. A paper dandelion needs to be placed on a sheet of colored cardboard. You can attach the flower to the base using PVA glue (or glue stick).
Craft for the little ones
For this simple application you will need:
- scissors;
- ruler;
- pencil;
- colored paper(yellow and green);
- PVA glue;
- white sheet of paper;
- multi-colored cardboard (optional).
From yellow paper, 24 strips should be cut, 9 centimeters long and 1.5 centimeters wide, and one strip 3 centimeters long.
Long strips should be glued along the edges, forming droplets, and a short strip should be connected in such a way that a circle is obtained. Next, on a round base, under which you can use cardboard, you should glue the dandelion petals and its middle.
Using a pencil, you need to draw the leaves of the flower and the stem and cut them out with scissors.
The details of the dandelion should be glued onto the paper, starting with the stem, then the flower itself and its leaves. If desired, the background paper can be decorated with multi-colored cardboard on the sides.
Application "Dandelion" from colored paper
This craft is made of colored paper, but if desired, it can be supplemented with various dried flowers or any other materials at hand. Such an application "Dandelion" for children is designed for ages from three to seven years. To create a craft, you will need the following materials and tools:
- colored paper (green, orange, yellow and Brown for appliqué details and a contrast sheet for the background);
- scissors;
- pencil;
- PVA glue;
- black marker.
First you need to draw all the details of which the application "Dandelion" will consist.
From yellow paper it is necessary to cut out two circles of different sizes, one with a diameter of 5 centimeters, the second - 3 centimeters. Two circles with a diameter of 4 centimeters are cut out of orange paper, 2 circles with a diameter of 1 centimeter from brown paper, and 1 circle with a diameter of 2 centimeters from green paper. Next, you need to cut out two stems and leaves from green paper.
After all the details have been cut out, it is necessary to process the edges of the circles according to the following technology: you need to fold them four times, thereby forming triangles, after which cuts should be made with scissors so that the paper flowers take on a shape similar to real dandelions. The situation is slightly different with the green circle. After the formation of the openwork edge, it should be cut into four parts, this part will serve as a receptacle. Next, the stems of the plant and the receptacle are glued onto the background paper.
After the stems have been glued, you can start assembling the flowers. The first consists of a large yellow circle, orange and brown, the second - of orange, yellow and brown. The penultimate stage is gluing dandelion leaves.
Finally, in the middle of the brown circles, you need to apply one small black dot using a felt-tip pen or a helium pen and draw veins on the leaves. The application "Dandelion" is ready, it can be presented to relatives on the occasion of any holiday or simply left as a keepsake.
Rules for working with sharp tools while creating crafts
It is important to teach a child to use scissors correctly during work, especially for those children who do not yet know how to handle sharp objects on their own. Before class, the child should be explained the following rules:
- You need to keep your workspace in order.
- You can work with scissors only at the workplace.
- It is necessary to monitor the movement of the scissors during operation and not be distracted.
- You can only pass scissors with the rings forward, and put them only with the rings towards you.
- Do not bring scissors to your face.
Organization of the child's workplace
Parents and educators should remember a few rules that will help organize the creative process so that it proceeds without unnecessary noise and any distractions from creating a masterpiece.
To begin with, you should think about what items and materials the child may need during the lesson and prepare them in advance.
If a child knows how to work independently with sharp objects, and there is no risk that he will injure himself during the lesson, then you can completely entrust all the work to him. In case the kid cannot do without the help of an adult in cutting out the necessary details or any other work, you need to stay with him and help.
During the creative process, do not miss the opportunity to tell the baby as much as possible about what he is making, whether it be flowers, animals or any objects. It contributes intellectual development young master.
The benefits of the application for intellectual development
It is important to understand that the craft may eventually be lost or thrown away, but thanks to the very process of creativity, the child develops his aesthetic taste, imagination, fantasy, and, importantly, eye and fine motor skills of hands. In the process of creating a masterpiece, practical skills in working with tools are formed. Also in the mind of the child is the formation of such qualities as perseverance, independence, patience and love for nature.
Napkin - simple and necessary thing on the table. But not everyone will think about using it in a different way. Look at this little thing from the other side and then you will understand that the thinness of the paper from which it is made, elegant prints and relative cheapness (compared to other materials) make the napkin a unique raw material for creating unique crafts. This is unlimited ground for imagination, because with the help of an ordinary napkin you can create any shape. It's worth starting simple. For example, everyone can make flowers from napkins with their own hands, you just need to familiarize yourself with several techniques, as well as show a little perseverance and patience.
Rose technique
Do-it-yourself flowers from napkins can be made using single-layer or three-layer napkins. Most often, three-layer napkins will have to be divided into layers, then the resulting flower will be more beautiful and neat. In order to create a colored rose, we need 2 single-layer napkins. One of them is red for the bud, the other is green for the stem.
First you need to unfold and straighten the red napkin. Carefully cut off about a third of it. Fold the napkin in half. You need to bend exactly its upper half. Look at the picture and see how it's done. Wrap the top of the strip around your left index finger. Get a blank for the bud. Roll the napkin around the bottom folded edge. One corner will stand out a little. You need to pull it up, then bend it to the side. Spread the bud very carefully with your fingers so as not to crush the petals, but to give the flower a natural shape. To perform this action will require some skill.
For the stem, you will need one single-layer cloth completely unfolded, or one of the layers of a three-layer cloth, previously separated. Wrap the napkin around the rolled end of the bud as shown. In the course of twisting, transform the napkin into a stem. In the middle of the stem, you need to make a leaf, for this, pull the edge of the napkin, and highlight the corner out. Continue twisting the napkin to the end.
After completing all the steps, you can admire beautiful flower which was created by you. The rose flower is ready. You can make several such graceful flowers - it will be original bouquet which you can even donate. If you do not have multi-colored napkins, then you can make the bud and stem of the same color.
Technique "Dandelion"
Do-it-yourself fluffy, multi-layered flowers from napkins are made not only for bouquets, but also for creating applications with a three-dimensional effect. Consider the technique of creating a dandelion. You will need a three-layer yellow napkin, green colored paper, a stapler, cardboard, which will be the substrate for the composition, and a little imagination.
The principle of making a flower
We take a three-layer napkin and divide into layers. We take two layers for a flower and fold them 4 times. Let's put both layers together on top of each other. We fasten the layers crosswise with a stationery stapler, as shown in the figure.
Cut out a circle from a square blank. Along the circumference of the trimmed workpiece, we make cuts at an equal interval from each other (about a millimeter deep). Gently lift the upper thin layer with your fingers and squeeze it to the center. Do the same with the next layers. You can lift each individual layer or two or three layers at a time. The dandelion bud is ready, let's move on to the rest of the flower.
To create a picture, apply your creative vision. Cut out dandelion petals from colored paper, stick to the substrate as your flair tells you, so you get a beautiful, exclusive picture.
Using a similar technique, you can make an arrangement of sakura flowers from napkins with your own hands. In this case, you will need to take the multi-colored layers of a three-layer napkin, at a certain moment divide the workpiece into four parts, cut a flower instead of a circle and then continue to work, as shown in the figure. 
Technique "Carnation"
You can get another masterpiece if you master the technique of creating fabulously beautiful carnations. If you want to make a red flower, then take a three-layer napkin of the corresponding color.
Tear off a small part about 1 cm wide from the napkin. You need to tear it off, not cut it off. This will give naturalness to the edges of the petals. It is important not to tear off the fold, watch this. Unfold one spread of the napkin as shown. Fold the napkin in the form of a bow with an accordion. With the torn part, tie the bow in the middle, as in the picture.
Next, you need to separate one layer from either side of the bow, do the same with all other layers. The other part of the bow can be cut off and fixed with a stapler, this will be the base of the bud. Thus, you will get beautiful flowers from do-it-yourself napkins.
You can make a composition of multi-colored flowers, do not forget that carnations are white, and pink, and delicate tea color.
If at the very beginning of the manufacture of the carnation you do not tear off part of the napkin, fold it in its original form, then, by cutting the corners of the folded strip in a semicircle, you can get a completely different flower. Having experimented with such moments, you will get many variations of colors from napkins, made not just from improvised material, but also with your own hands.
Using glue, you can attach flowers from paper napkins into a spherical shape, dilute it with beads and petals cut out of colored paper or fabric and get fabulous compositions that can even decorate a wedding interior in the hall.

Holding a girl in her hand
Cloud on a stem.
It's worth blowing on him -
And there will be nothing. (Dandelion)
