Paper flowers can be used for interior decoration, decoration and even as a gift! Let's try to learn how to make voluminous paper flowers with our own hands, look at examples and photos of beautiful finished works, and also watch a master class for beginners.
Simple products
The easiest way to make flowers is from colored paper - it can be corrugated or ordinary, and if you plan to make strictly decorative flowers, you can take paper with a mother-of-pearl or metallic effect. You shouldn’t make a tulip or a rose as your first experiment - try something very, very simple first.Decorative crafts
In order to make simple and spectacular flowers you will need:
- double-sided colored paper (corrugated paper is also suitable);
- thin wire;
- sharp scissors and a pencil for marking.
For beginners, the easiest way to do this is to fold colored paper several times so that you get a stack of squares approximately 6*6. Then mark the shape of the future buds on the top square with a pencil - it can be a smooth rounded figure, regular circles, or whatever your imagination suggests.
Then, with scissors, you need to carefully cut the stack according to the shape of the marked sepal and disassemble it into components - for each flower you will need three to five blanks. The wire needs to be cut into pieces of about 15-25 centimeters, twisted on one side so that a decorative center is formed, then the previously obtained “petals” are put on each wire, after which a stand is made at the bottom of the wire (a stable ring is twisted).
With such crafts you can decorate a table for a holiday, or use them for a photo shoot or interior decor, or you can simply attach them to the wall in the nursery or in the hall near the mirror - a good mood is guaranteed.
Or this simple option:
From what is at hand
Old magazines or newspapers are used to make these products. This way you can make large flowers out of paper - the technique is simple, and paper crafts turn out to be quite impressive.
What you will need:
- unnecessary magazines (absolutely any);
- green adhesive tape;
- sharp scissors;
- large barbecue skewers;
- paper glue or regular hot melt glue.
By the way, these recommendations can also be used for beginners - they are done quite easily. If you want to make such flowers with children, then make sure that they have safety scissors, or cut the fringe yourself. 
Decorative flower garlands
Want to make chic garlands? Use giant paper flowers for them. By the way, making paper flowers for garlands with your own hands is very simple - you only need beautiful, spectacular paper and a little skill. No flower templates for cutting out or diagrams are required; the main task of such large products is to look bright, unusual and attractive; large paper flowers do not have to be realistic.
What you will need:
- scissors;
- corrugated paper of two or three colors (it is better to take bright and light);
- thread or fishing line;
- stapler or glue.
You can choose the size of the rectangles yourself; you just need to remember that the flowers will be the same diameter as the rectangle on the narrow side.
Each pile is assembled into an accordion (look at the photo on how to make flowers from such accordions, if it is not too clear from the description).
Each accordion of five sheets of paper must be fastened in the center with a stapler or glued with a paper ring. It is best to round the edges of the accordion - cut out something like a petal.
Now each blank needs to be turned into a bud - straighten the buds from the accordions you made. The accordions need to be straightened in different directions, and you will see how you can create beautiful paper flowers in just a few seconds.
Then cut the required length of fishing line or thread and string the buds - your garland is ready.

A magical world, a world of flowers,
Secret whisper of petals.
There is no name for those flowers.
The fairy tale comes to life there.
Magic flower.
Words by Yu. Entin, music. E. Krylatova
I drew a magic flower
I gave my soul to the drawing.
And perhaps an angel helped me,
The painted flower came to life.
A magical flower, beckoning to you,
Not in the picture, but the real one.
I touched a living miracle
The magical flower is with me everywhere.
I live as if in a good fairy tale,
My flower changes colors
And now I’m not bored alone,
Little rainbow with me.
An unconventional way to tint paper.
I would like to introduce you to a new way of tinting paper using multi-colored sticky notes. Such simple materials are always at hand for everyone. Stickers painted in bright, rich colors have excellent color payoff.
For work we will need: multi-colored stickers for writing (the adhesive side can be cut off), white printer paper or a landscape sheet, a bowl of warm water.
Place the stickers in water and then place them on paper. Here you can show your imagination: cut out different geometric shapes and flowers from stickers; lay out on paper in various patterns.
After the paper has dried a little, remove the stickers. Our paper became colored and acquired the same pattern that was lined with multi-colored notes.
Now you need to let the paper dry well, then put it under the press.
Our creative paper is ready. Can be used for background or decoration, but we will make rainbow flowers from it. When working with such paper, children's hands do not get dirty, the paint does not wear off and does not change color.
Corrugation- this is a very simple, familiar and accessible way of folding paper to everyone since childhood, fraught with great possibilities. Making crafts using corrugated paper is accessible even to preschoolers. Corrugating paper consists of bending the sheet alternately back and forth. The result is an “accordion” from which various crafts can be made.
This type of creativity develops fantasy, imagination, spatial thinking, and hand motor skills in children; Aesthetic taste, accuracy, and hard work are cultivated.
Equipment:
- tinted paper;
- base for the panel;
- colored paper (green);
- gold foil;
- scissors;
- PVA glue;
- brush;
- stapler;
- ballpoint pen refill;
- decorative tape;
- figured hole punch.
Safety precautions when working with PVA glue.
1. Work carefully, trying not to drip glue.
2. Try not to get the glue on your clothes, face, or especially your eyes.
3. If glue gets into your eyes, rinse them well with water.
4. After work, close the glue tightly and put it away.
5. Wash your hands after work.
Safety precautions when working with scissors.
1. For work, use medium-sized scissors with blunt, rounded ends.
2. When working, carefully monitor the cutting direction.
3. Do not hold scissors with the blade facing up.
4. Do not leave scissors with open blades.
5. Scissors should be placed on the right with closed blades directed away from you.
6. Do not approach your friend while working.
7. Pass the closed scissors rings forward.
8. While working, hold the material with your left hand so that your fingers are away from the blade.
Stages of work execution.
Take a strip of paper 7cm wide, the length of a standard sheet of printer paper.
We begin to make corrugation.
Fold the accordion in half and secure it well.
We cut off the corners on both sides, sharpening them.
We fasten it on the reverse side with a stapler and we get a blank for the flower.
We do all the other flowers in the same way.
Cut out circles with a diameter of approximately 5 cm.
We cut each circle diagonally and make funnels.
Now we glue our flower with a funnel. We get such rainbow flowers.
To complete the stem appliqué, we need to make paper tubes. To do this you will need colored green paper and a ballpoint pen. We wind the paper onto the rod, coat the edge with glue and glue it to the tube. Our preparation is ready.
Using a simple pencil, draw the bend of the stem and begin gluing it, laying it out with paper tubes.
Glue the flowers, placing them up along the stem.
Cut out elongated leaves from colored paper.
Paper flowers can decorate a room on cold winter days, when there are so few real colors around us. The new trend is to make such decorations really big. They are suitable as props for fabulous photo shoots or simply as a decorative element. And the larger the flower, the more impressive it will be.
Large paper flowers are perfect as decoration for any special event. Save on those boring balloons and decorate your birthday party or wedding with these beautiful flowers. You will not need special equipment to create them, and the price of materials will be much less than the cost of conventional decor.
You will need the following tools and materials:
- templates for leaves and petals;
- glue gun;
- scissors;
- pencil or pen;
- compass;
- wooden dowel.
First you need to make a petal pattern. You can use ready-made templates by printing a picture from the Internet, or build one yourself. Cut out the template from very thick cardboard, because it will have to be used many times. After the template is ready, transfer its outline with a pencil onto colored paper. A flower requires petals of several sizes. Make petals of the same shape in three or four different sizes. 
If you print the template on a printer, just zoom in or out a little each time. And if you have a drawing by hand, set aside a few centimeters in each direction from the smallest one and trace the outline point by point. 
Once all the petals are drawn, cut them out. To complete this operation faster, simply fold petals of the same size together. You can even just draw one part, attach several layers of paper to it with stationery clips, and cut it all out together with sharp scissors.
Now at the bottom of each petal, in the very center, make small cuts. 2.5 cm on small petals, and a little more on large ones. 
Now apply a little glue to one half of the lower part of the petal and glue the second part overlapping. Do not connect the parts too tightly. 
Now you need to curl the petals on top. This can be done by hand, or by wrapping the paper around a pencil or pen. 
Next you need to glue the petals together. Connect them, placing one on top of the other, at an angle of 45 degrees, coat with glue and hold for a while. 
Glue the petals in a circle until you get a whole inflorescence. To be sure that there will be enough petals for the whole circle, first simply lay out the petals and try on at what distance they need to be glued on each other.
Using a compass, cut out a small circle that needs to be glued in the middle if the edges of the petals do not meet tightly enough. 
Now we glue the second layer of petals. Each smaller one is attached in the spaces between the larger petals. 
Now we attach the third layer of petals. 
And finally, the smallest petals in the middle. 
Next you need to make the core of the flower. Choose a contrasting color of paper and fold it into a rectangle. Fold it in half as shown in the photo and cut it. Now fold each of the short strips in half lengthwise and cut again. You will get 4 long narrow strips.
Place the strips together and cut one edge to create a sort of fringe. 
Divide the strips in two. Each should have two. 
Now we roll a strip around the pencil, coating it with glue. It’s even easier to use a wooden dowel as a base for the roll. 
After twisting the first layer, add a second strip on top, continuing to twist it. 
Bend the edges of the core slightly and glue it to the center of the flower.
Now, having built a template similar to the first one, cut out a sheet of green paper.
Fold the sheet in half lengthwise.
Now fold the sheet like an accordion.
This is what should happen in the end.
Now unfold the sheet. It should look like in the photo. Add these leaves to your flowers.

For a creative person, making a new masterpiece is not work, but relaxation. In their free time, active people prefer not to watch TV or the Internet, but to create something interesting and beautiful with their own. Empty walls make the environment uncomfortable and cold. In order to diversify your home interior, decorate your home and add bright accents, you can make a relief panel of flowers with your own hands. A pleasant pastime and excellent results are guaranteed.
A panel is a modern work of art designed to decorate walls in a living space. With its help, you can add new colors to the room, delimit space, and remove wall imperfections from your eyes. In addition, this is a great opportunity to use your creative potential.
Panels made from fresh or artificial flowers are now popular. With the help of flowers you can create an elegant ornament, voluminous or relief decoration. Everyone likes flowers, which means the panel will delight the eyes of every family member.
Such flower arrangements can be made from different materials:
- panel of paper flowers;
- from textile materials;
- from dried flowers and berries;
- from cereals;
- using fresh flowers.
In fact, this decorative element is easy to make from simple scrap materials.
It is important to first pay attention to some nuances. First you need to prepare the base. An old, unwanted picture in a frame works well for this purpose. If you don’t have one on your household, you can specially purchase an inexpensive one in the store or buy a photo frame and insert a sheet of cardboard into it. A significant point is the choice of location for the painting. You should initially decide on the location of the panel - whether it will be a living room, bedroom or corridor. It is important that the composition is combined with other interior items and fits harmoniously into the color scheme.
Where to start
The next step is to prepare the means at hand.
To make a panel of paper flowers with your own hands you will need:
- base in the form of a frame;
- baking parchment or other thin paper of a neutral color;
- scissors;
- office glue;
- double-sided tape;
- colored paper for making flowers;
- stapler;
- paper clips;
- simple pencil.
You can make any flowers yourself from colored paper, but it will be easier to buy ready-made ones - if you can find beautiful ones on sale.
Kanzashi technique
Nowadays, flower paintings in the “kanzashi” style are very popular. Many needlewomen successfully sell the results of their labors and even organize master classes on making compositions from kanzash. But it’s easy to make them yourself. In addition to the materials already listed above, you will need a satin ribbon approximately 2cm wide and thick fabric. It is recommended to take both the ribbon and the fabric in two similar shades (for example, blue and light blue, pink and red), and green material for the leaves will also be useful.
The sequence of actions is as follows:
- Cut the fabric into strips 1cm wide.
- Twist each strip into rolls and secure with glue to prevent unwinding.
- Glue pastel colored paper onto the cardboard.
- Glue fabric blanks along the perimeter of the cardboard sheet, placing them vertically and alternating colors.
- Now the satin ribbon needs to be cut into strips 4 cm long.
- Bend the strips along their length, cut off the tip diagonally, glue the base and turn the petal out.
- Cut circles with a diameter of about 3 cm from the fabric - the base of the flower.
- Glue petals to the circles, alternating colors.
- You can glue a bead into the middle.
- In the same way you need to make leaves from green material.
- Next, all the flowers are glued onto a cardboard base.
- The composition itself can be supplemented with fabric appliqué in the form of a flower pot or vase, a window or windowsill, figurines of birds, ladybugs and much more. The idea of using a pocket from unwanted jeans looks interesting.
As you can see, there are a lot of ideas. Such a relief panel will not only wonderfully decorate the interior, but will also make a wonderful gift.
You can also make a panel from fresh flowers. This is especially true for various memorable events, weddings, anniversaries. As a permanent means of decorating your home, a panel of fresh flowers on the wall would be a dubious idea, because flowers have a natural tendency to fade. However, this composition is ideal as a short-term option for interior decoration.
To make it, you will need a floral sponge (oasis), which will help the flowers stay fresh without water for 3-5 days - just like in a vase with water. This is a porous material that has the ability to retain moisture well. You can buy a sponge at any flower shop and cut it to the desired size and shape.
In general, the process of making panels of fresh flowers is identical to paintings with paper and fabric flowers, with the exception of one nuance: between the flowers and the cardboard base it is necessary to place an oasis soaked in water and well wrung out. It must be wrapped on the inside with film or flower packaging to waterproof it, then glue it to a cardboard base using double-sided tape. The flower stems are trimmed and stuck into the oasis.
Decorating a wall with fresh flowers is much more difficult than with paper ones. After all, fresh flowers require more careful handling and special care. It is better to start decorating the walls immediately before the event in order to keep the flowers as fresh as possible. Peonies, roses, lilies, tulips, and chrysanthemums are ideal for this purpose. These flowers are the least whimsical. Orchids are very capricious - they should not be used for panels with fresh flowers.
You can make a panel of artificial or fresh flowers for the wall using any available means and get an elegant ornament. The main thing is a little imagination and desire.

“Pink chrysanthemums” made of corrugated paper
Chrysanthemums have gained popularity due to the rich variety of varieties. These flowers differ in the size of the buds, the shape of the petals, the color scheme and the number of flowers on one stem. This means that anyone will find among this splendor flowers that will meet all their needs and desires. The buds of pink chrysanthemums used in bouquets, flower arrangements, garlands and wreaths look very tender and tender. You can also use the pink color of chrysanthemums as a basis to create a panel, composition or applique from corrugated paper. Let's look at this idea based on our master class.
Materials and tools
When creating a panel applique with pink voluminous chrysanthemums you will need:
- double-sided colored and decorative paper;
- thick pink corrugated paper;
- white paper;
- yellow and dark green felt-tip pen;
- PVA glue (silicate glue).
How to make an applique with voluminous pink chrysanthemums from corrugated paper
To create chrysanthemums, it is better to use high-density corrugated (creped) paper - this way the flowers will hold their shape better. For work, prepare the necessary tools and related materials.
Cut out long strips of corrugated paper with a width of about 5-6 cm (the larger the width, the longer the flower petals).
Fold the strips several times, as in the picture.
Using scissors, cut out the sharp petals, leaving 1-1.5 cm from the edge.
Make cuts evenly so that the width of the petals is approximately the same.
Straighten each of the strips. Apply a thin line of glue along the entire length of the strip.
Start rolling the strip into a tight roll. When the first strip is curled, start gluing the second strip around it.
Make several chrysanthemum flower preparations in a similar manner.
Gently spread outer chrysanthemum petals.
Spread the remaining petals to give the flower volume.
Using a scissor blade, curl the ends of the petals. Do this with all the petals so that the chrysanthemum becomes voluminous.
Lightly tint the center of the flower with a yellow felt-tip pen.
The number of flowers can be any, but it is desirable that the chrysanthemums differ slightly in size.
Cut out a vase of any shape from decorating paper. From dark green paper, cut out leaves that look like real chrysanthemum leaves. Use a green marker to highlight the veins on each leaf.
For the applique, make a base of office paper in two different colors. Cut the top rectangle with curly scissors to create a beautiful frame. Glue the shaped sheet onto the rectangle.
Glue the vase onto the applique base.
Turn the flowers petals down. Make cuts at the base of the flowers and open the edges. Generously coat the edges of the flowers with glue.
Glue three flowers above the rim of the vase. Glue the remaining flowers to the second row.
Bend the edges of the leaves slightly using the blade of the scissors. Glue the leaves near the flowers and inside the bouquet. Glue a couple of sheets near the vase.
Give the painting a little time to rest so that all the parts are firmly glued to the base. The applique with delicate pink chrysanthemums is ready!
What a wonderful original composition we have with pink chrysanthemum flowers! A little patience, diligence and time, and such a wonderful result of the work done! This master class can serve as an example for creating similar applications with chrysanthemums of any other color or using flowers to decorate the interior.
