How to make tulips from corrugated paper: μ with step by step instruction

In order to make flowers from corrugated paper - tulips - you need to prepare the following materials:

• corrugated paper;
• scissors;
• glue;
• wire.

You can use colorful corrugated paper to color the flowers. To create ordinary tulips, red paper is suitable.

1. Take a piece of corrugated paper and cut off a small piece, for example, measuring 3 by 18 centimeters.
2. The resulting strip of paper is folded twice, then doubled again and done so until the width of 4 cm is obtained. It is important to carefully fold the strip, otherwise the flower will turn out to be uneven. In the end, you should get a cut into one petal.
3. Cut out the petal itself, while observing the height and width of the petals. One end of the vertex is cut out with an oval, the second - as shown in the figure below.
4. Now we make each petal separately. The narrow edge of the petal must be crunched beforehand while crushing.
5. Similarly, you need to prepare all the petals of the tulip.
6. The second end of the petal is taken with two fingers and bends, trying to give the desired shape of the petal by stretching the paper.
7. Next, we begin to shape the bud itself. To do this, fold the eight petals of the tulip into one.
8. We prepare the stem of the tulip. First attach the bud to it, screwing the tip to the wire.
9. Take a sheet of green paper, cut off a small strip of it and begin to twist the wire.
10. Do the sheet. Cut it out of green paper, bend it in the middle.
11. At the end of the wire, attach the sheet with glue. The tulip is ready.
12. If you add black and yellow corrugated paper inside, you get stamens. Thus, you can make a blossoming flower. In this case, the petals of the tulip need to be made thicker.
13. There is another scheme for creating a bud of tulips from corrugated paper using the twisting method.

The stages of work are as follows:

1. Cut six strips of paper with a width of not more than 4 cm.
2. Twist the strip in the middle and fold it in half.
3. Stretching the layers of paper, we make a convex petal.
4. Squeeze and twist the base.
5. We take green paper, cut it into strips two centimeters wide across the corrugation lines.
6. We take a wire 20 cm long, pasted it with strips of corrugated green paper.
7. Around the stem, we place 3 internal petals and 3 outer ones on top.
8. We tie the petals with a strip of green paper, first gluing the glue on it.
9. In addition, you can glue the petals of corrugated paper green.

Flowers made from corrugated paper look more natural. They can be added to other crafts:

• a panel;
• voluminous applications;
• to make a bouquet;
• decorate albums for photos;
• use as an additional decoration when creating a gift package;
• tulips with sweets inside.

Making flowers with your own hands can interest a child and develop a sense of beauty. However, this is quite a painstaking work, which requires carefulness, care and perseverance. If you have mastered tulips from corrugated paper, you can try making roses
