DIY paper flowers camellia. Making Flowers with your own hands (Camellia)

A universal selection of gift ideas for any occasion and occasion. Surprise your friends and loved ones! ;)

Greetings, dear readers and visitors! I have already written several times that I really love decorating gifts in the most unexpected ways. And today I suggest you make paper flowers with your own hands. As many as twenty-odd methods, by the way.

Now, unfortunately, I rarely get around to mass gift wrapping. Moreover, every year there are more and more acquaintances and friends who need to be congratulated along with their relatives. This is very joyful! I love giving presents. But if I choose them very carefully, then lately I pack them in organza bags, since I only decide on detailed packaging for single holidays (like birthdays).

However, my passion for all kinds of packaging beauty is difficult to overcome, so today, together with you, I will practice making beautiful flowers using step-by-step schemes.

DIY paper flowers: simple and clever

There will be a lot of master classes, get ready. Good news for all rose lovers: there will be as many as 4 of them.

Aster

Guys, honestly, I'm not very good at naming colors. So if you see a discrepancy that is obvious to you, write in the comments.

So, first in line is the aster. For it, cut out five circles: two large, two medium and one very small. Fold each circle in half three times, then decorate the edge as in the 4th photo. After unfolding the structure, squeeze each petal to give it volume. Stack all the circles and decorate the middle.

Almost calendula

This flower looks much more like a packaging bow. Prepare a square of paper of the required length for it and cut the edges according to step 2. You will need several such blanks. Place them one on top of the other and squeeze them in the center, tightening them with wire or thread.

Now the most important thing is to straighten the petals so that you get a beautiful resemblance to a flower. Accordingly, the more layers, the more petals and the more magnificent the flower in the end.

Tip: make several of these flowers of different sizes and glue them on the packaging next to each other, then you will get a beautiful bouquet.

Calla

To create calla lilies, you can use either regular double-sided paper or foam rubber (I wrote about what it is in the section about the minion).

For calla lilies, take a stamen (you can crumple it out of paper or make it out of polymer clay) and a petal made in the shape of a heart. Place the stamen in the petal, fold the edges of the petal over the stamen, gluing them together. All that remains is to unscrew the edges to get maximum resemblance to a calla lily.

Such flowers are well suited for decorating postcards, packaging, and as an independent gift in the form of a bouquet.

Bell

The master class for the bell is very simple and straightforward. Cut the blank according to the first photo. Glue the edges together and carefully straighten the ends. To make everything look natural, make a center of several elongated stamens, which will need to be glued inside the flower.

By the way, these bells would be great to decorate packaging for March 8th or just a spring birthday.

Lilies of the valley

Well, or something similar. For one flower, take a long rectangle and bend its edge, as in the photo. Cut the wide part so that you get many small strips. Using scissors, twist the strips (to do this, you just need to run the sharp side of the scissors along these strips, lightly pressing the blade against them).

To prevent the flower from falling apart, take a rod and wrap a green stripe around it. Then start carefully twisting the “flower” part, previously coated with glue, on top. Apply the layers tightly so that the greenery does not show through.

But making green leaves is not at all difficult - for them, just fold a rectangle of green paper like an accordion and trim the edges into a triangle. When you unroll, you will get a lot of green leaves ready to be glued to the base.

Poppy

Now we use corrugated paper. Cut out about ten teardrop-shaped petals from it. Stretch the wide part so that the blanks resemble mushrooms.

Take a thin wire and wrap some paper around it - this will be the core. Wind the petals onto this core so that each one slightly overlaps the previous one. When everything is ready, the structure can be pulled together at the bottom so that it does not fall apart.

The master class shows how this flower can be attached to a holiday cap, but believe me, the poppy will look great on a gift box.

Red flower

What is its species? No associations came to mind. But that’s not the point - to create it you will need about ten petals (corrugated paper is used, by the way). Their shape is almost teardrop-shaped. but with a cut end.

Cut out a base circle from thick cardboard. Glue all the petals in layers to this circle, slightly crumpling (doubting? God, how right :_D) the bases, thus forming folds - then the flower will be more voluminous and “fluffy”. Decorate the center with some button or bead.

Such a flower, by the way, will look great made of soft felt - this way it will gain durability. And if you attach the base for the brooch at the back, you get two in one - a decoration for the gift and the gift itself.

Extravaganza of color

There are only two flowers, but the bright combinations create a very unusual effect. Take the crepe paper again, cut out a circle and fold it into a “doll” shape. Cut a “skirt” for it, which you wrap around the doll. Attach the petals on top, gluing them in a circle. Glue two wide leaves at the base.

The second flower is very simple - cut the fringe and twist it into several layers. The flowers are very simple, they can make a very interesting gift arrangement.

Unseen flower

To prepare the base for this flower, I advise you to look here - here the base for the second Christmas tree is created in exactly the same way. But then the differences begin - each of the corners needs to be wrapped using a thick wire or knitting needle so that it turns out to be a spiral.

You can leave this design alone, but I suggest you connect several (say, three) pieces using the existing spirals - the wow effect is guaranteed. Then you can also experiment - connecting elements with spirals into unprecedented designs.

Tip: Are you going to a Japanese-themed party? Then make such a very large flower and take it with you - it will serve as an excellent decoration for a chandelier.

Peony

“Pio-, pio-, peonies are given by a new acquaintance...” - words from the song of the underground group “My Michelle” (I’ve been listening to it often lately, inspired by it). We will make from corrugated paper. You will need five sizes of petals, approximately five copies of each (appearance as in the photo).

Stretch the petals so that you get something like a wave (for both large and small ones). Then form a stamen from the same corrugated paper by folding the paper and further compacting it. You can do this on a wire skewer, or you can do it without it.

Glue the petals onto the finished stamen, each one overlapping the previous one. Do not pull the petal too tightly. In the end, all that remains is to cut the green leaves and stick them around the peony.

4 in 1: dandelion, clove, aster, chamomile

All these wonderful creations of nature are made according to one principle - cutting the edge of a strip from which a flower will be made. The final shape of the flower depends on the cutting shape. Please note that some require a core and others do not.

Please note: despite the very simple design, the flowers turn out very realistic. If you have very little time to make, then this is an ideal option.

Experiment and discover your unprecedented plants - be sure to tell us what happens.

Paper roses

Magic roses are one of my favorite flowers

Rose with twisted edge

The main difficulty here is to carefully twist the edge of the corrugated paper, straightening out the folds. Then make sure that the folds are even. Now twist the strip so that the layers fit tightly together. At the end, secure with thread, trim off the excess.

Simple rose

Need to make a plant in five minutes? Then this rose is definitely for you! Just cut out a circle and draw a spiral in it. Cut out a spiral as in the photo and twist the rose, starting from the longest link of the spiral (the central part will serve as the base).

Big rose

Even gigantic, if you follow these exact dimensions. The heart petals are stretched and placed on top of each other in a circle, secured with glue. Green petals are attached at the end. Of course, the flower doesn’t have to be as big as in the photo – go with your preferences.

Twisted paper rose

Once upon a time I already described this method of creating a rose (here is the second one). The principle is absolutely the same, but the sizes of the triangles resulting from twisting must be the same along the entire length of the ribbon, otherwise the flower will not be very neat.

Once I even made a Rosemary doll, which took part in a city exhibition. Her whole body was covered with roses, made exactly according to this method (the roses were made from ribbons, however).

Clover

I'll just show you how to make the base for the four leaf clover. To do this, take a square of paper and fold it in half lengthwise and in half again. Fold the ends towards the center. Cut out a heart from the resulting design. The result will be exactly what we wanted - a happy flower.

Nameless

No matter how I tried, I couldn’t give a clear name. As a result, the product remained just a beautiful flower, reminiscent of kanzashi motifs (the Japanese art of making jewelry from satin ribbons).

The beginning here is the same as in clover. But after bending the edges, you will need to bend the ends so that the length of the bent part is equal to the length of the visible side in the middle. Then these parts are straightened out and their edges are folded so that the sides are even. They are folded again and glued together to form three stamens. There should be three such petals.

This flower is most suitable for decorating a gift in Japanese style.

And again the aster

This time you need to glue the petals along the edge until you reach the desired volume. Decorate the center as you wish or simply fill it with as many petals as possible.

With this, I declare the big flower review closed. I hope you have found exactly the option that will help you decorate your gift in the best possible way. See you soon, subscribe and share with your friends!

Sincerely, Anastasia Skoracheva

Just look at this bouquet! Despite the different appearance (or varieties), all these camellias are made using the same technique. Following the advice of the master class, you can easily make the same bouquet, which you can then put in a vase, decorate your interior with, or give to your family as a gift!

Necessary materials:

Classic Camellia

Step 1: Cut out the squares

From colored paper, cut out 4 identical squares measuring 10 x 10 cm.

Fold the paper in half, and then into equal thirds.

Trim the bottom of the folded paper into a neat arch.

Do the same with the remaining three squares. In total, you should get four flowers with 6 petals.

Step 2: Cut out the petals

Cut out one petal in two blanks, 2 in the third, and 3 petals in the fourth (see photo below).

Using a stylus or round pencil, arch the petals on all elements downwards.

Step 3: Glue the Flower

Apply glue to one side of the petals and connect them to the other edge. In total, you should get 2 elements with 5 petals, 1 with 4, 2 with 3, 1 with 2 and 2 with 1 petal.

Glue all the shapes into a flower, starting with 5-petal elements and ending with 1-petal elements, which are glued into the very center of the flower. Try to arrange all the figures evenly and symmetrically. Voila!

Camellia with sharp petals

Step 1: Cut out the squares

To make a flower you will need 4 squares of colored paper measuring 10 x 10 cm.

Take one square. Fold it in half, and then in quarters. After that, fold it diagonally.

Trim the bottom of the folded paper into an equilateral pointed cone. Unfold the paper: you should have a flower with 8 petals.

Also trim the remaining 3 squares.

Step 2: Cut out the petals

Cut out 1 petal from the first element, 2 from the second, 3 from the third, and four from the fourth.

Using a round pencil, wrap all the petals on the shapes in an arched manner downward.

Step 3: Fold the Ends

Connect and glue the edges of the blanks. You should get 1 figure with 7 petals, 1 with 6, 1 with 5 petals, 2 with 4, 1 with 3, 1 with 2 and 1 with 1 petal.

Step 4: Collect the flower

Cut out a thin rectangle from yellow paper and cut one side into thin strips. Roll the paper into a fringe shape. Glue the fringe into the middle of the camellia. Let the glue dry.

Camellia terry

Step 1: Take the squares

Take 4 square sheets of paper measuring 10 x 10 cm.

Fold the paper in half and then in quarters. After this, fold the workpiece into a triangle, dividing the workpiece into 3 parts.

Cut the lower part of the folded workpiece in the form of a sharp arch. Unfold the paper: you should have a flower with 12 petals.

Do the same with the remaining sheets of paper.

Step 2: Cut out the petals

Cut 1 petal from one piece. The second has 2. The third has 3, and the 4 has four petals.

Using a round pencil, curl all the petals down.

Glue all the elements together with the edges.

Step 3: Collect the flower

Collect all the shapes into a flower, starting with the largest one and ending with the one-petal one, which you glue into the middle of the flower. Try to glue the elements so that the flower turns out beautiful and symmetrical.

Round camellia

Step 1: Cut the Paper

Cut colored paper into 3 equal squares.

Fold the square into quarters.

Trim the bottom of the workpiece into a round arch. Do the same with the remaining 2 squares.

Step 2: Make the Petals

Cut out 1 petal from two blanks, and 2 petals from the third.

Glue the edges of the shapes.

Step 3: Gather the Items

Collect all the elements into a flower, starting with the largest ones and ending with the smallest ones.

Cut out a fringe from a strip of yellow paper and glue it into the middle of the flower. Ready!

As you can see, everything is simple! If desired, plant camellias on stems, add leaves and place the bouquet in a vase. Or make a wreath, cute wall decoration, etc. All in your hands!

CAMELLIA flowers made of paper. I present to your attention another photo master class from craftswoman Leah Griffith, as always, the author shares with us ready-made templates of leaves and flower petals. The idea can be used to decorate gift packaging or to decorate a holiday interior. The author creates his flowers from metallized designer paper..., as far as I know, such paper is very expensive, and I have never seen it on sale. Such paper can easily be replaced with regular colored paper. Watch the photo master class, print the templates and start creating paper flowers)

So, look at the photo master class and get inspired to create camellia flowers from paper. But first I want to divert your attention to the topic of shopping in online stores. Personally, I just fell ill with this activity), you don’t need to go anywhere, and there is much more choice in online stores, and the prices for goods are much cheaper than in regular stores. And the purchase will be even cheaper if you use promotional codes and keep track of promotions and discounts in your favorite online stores. I recommend that you take a look at the promotional code website kuponlar.ru, here you can purchase a Fashion galaxy promotional code for purchasing shoes, bags, and accessories for the whole family at a multi-brand store with an impressive discount. Good luck!

For work we will need colored paper, a printer, printer paper, glue, scissors and paper raffia for the stems
