Roses, tulips, daisies, lilies, peonies and other flowers made of corrugated and plain paper will decorate your home and become an original gift.

1. Rose made of paper

What do you need

• ;
• White paper;
• scissors;
• pink paper;
• wire;
• glue gun;
• green paper;
• napkin or toilet paper;
• floristic tape;
• green wire.

How to do

Print the template on white paper and cut out. Cut four flowers out of pink paper and make holes in the center. Using scissors, twist the petals of one flower slightly. Thread a wire into it. For reliability, the bonding point can be greased with glue.

Glue the edges of one petal together. Then attach all the other petals to it so that you get a bud. Put the second flower on the bottom of the wire and secure with glue.

Glue its petals to the bud in a circle and straighten the edges. Attach the rest of the flowers in the same way. The video shows in great detail how to do this.

Cut a piece with four petals out of green paper. Pierce the center and twist the edges with scissors. Insert the piece from below to the rose and glue. Wrap the wire under the flower with a folded strip of tissue or toilet paper, and spread the floral tape on top.

For a branch, cut a few leaves out of green paper. To make them look like real ones, use scissors to make ribbed edges and folds. Glue the resulting blanks to pieces of green wire and wrap it with tape. A twig with leaves can be attached to a rose or inserted into a bouquet.

The second half of the video shows you how to craft an unopened rosebud.

Corrugated paper roses also look alive. Each petal is glued separately:

And here is a much simpler, but no less effective way. The whole rose is made from one long strip of paper:

2. Paper tulip

What do you need

• Scissors;
• ruler;
• pencil;
• red corrugated paper;
• newspaper;
• glue;
• threads;
• green corrugated paper.

How to do

Cut a 25 × 15 cm rectangle out of red paper. Fold the narrow edge by 5 cm and fold the piece into an accordion. Cut along the fold lines. You will have five stripes.

Fold each in half, unfold and collect the paper at the fold. Twist the piece in the middle and fold one edge towards the other. Then curl the straight edges of the paper and straighten the resulting petal. Look for details in the video.

Cut a 43 × 11 cm rectangle out of the newspaper. Roll it diagonally with a thin tube and fix the edge with glue. Trim the workpiece from the sides. Tie the petals on top, as shown in the video. Wrap a strip of green paper around the stem.

To make a sheet, cut a 30 × 4 cm piece out of green paper. Fold it across in half, moisten your fingers with water and twist the corners a little at the fold.

Fold the part in half lengthwise, slightly remember the edge and straighten the sheet. Glue it to the flower stem. If you are making a bouquet of tulips, you can glue the leaf onto a separate stem from the newspaper and insert it into the bouquet.

The petals can also be attached to a toilet paper or tissue paper base. Then they will turn out straight:

Tulips from plain paper will come out no less beautiful and realistic:

3. Paper carnation

What do you need

• Scissors;
• ruler;
• pencil;
• red corrugated paper;
• curly scissors with a wavy pattern;
• thin and thick wire;
• pliers;
• floristic tape;
• napkin or toilet paper;
• glue gun;
• green corrugated paper;
• green paper.

How to do

Cut a 48 x 7 cm strip of red paper. Fold it in half twice, then fold one side towards the middle and the other back. You will have an accordion.

Cut the edges of the folded piece with curly scissors. Unfold the accordion without expanding the strip completely, and cut along the side folds. Then cut the piece crosswise into three pieces. Fold them all together in an accordion and wire them in the middle.

Straighten the paper to form a flower. Details of the process are in the video. Screw the flower onto the thicker wire. Wrap the place of attachment with floral tape, and then a narrow strip of napkin or toilet paper.

Cut a small rectangle out of green corrugated paper, accordion fold and round the edges on one side. Glue this detail under the flower. Attach the same piece below, but with sharper edges.

Cut out two thin long leaves and two smaller ones from plain green paper. Fold them in half lengthwise. Wrap the wire with tape, attaching two small leaves on top and two large ones in the middle.

The second half of the video shows how to make an unopened carnation bud.

4. Paper lavender

What do you need

• Scissors;
• ruler;
• pencil;
• purple corrugated paper;
• green corrugated paper;
• glue;
• wire;
• white toilet paper;

How to do

Cut a thin strip 50 cm long from purple paper, and 100 cm long from green paper. Grease the larger edge of the purple part with glue and attach the green one to it.

Cut the purple strip in half lengthwise. Fold the two-tone part of the part in half three times and make small cuts, as shown in the video. Unfold the piece and twist the cut ends with your hands.

Cut two small, very thin leaves out of green paper. Wrap toilet paper over the wire. Lubricate the green strip of the long piece with glue and attach it in a circle to the top of the wire, starting at the two-color edge of the piece. Glue thin leaves at the bottom. Twist them, bend the resulting flower slightly and straighten the petals.

5. Paper chamomile

What do you need

• Scissors;
• ruler;
• pencil;
• white corrugated paper;
• yellow corrugated paper;
• green corrugated paper;
• wire;
• glue gun.

How to do

Cut out 10-12 strips of 4 × 1 cm from white paper, from yellow paper - one piece 15 × 1.5 cm, and from green paper - two rectangles 4 × 2 cm and one piece 5 × 1.5 cm.

Fold each white strip in half lengthwise and round off the sides, cutting off any excess. Cut a corner on one side so that the open petal has two corners. Spread out the resulting petals.

Stretch the yellow piece slightly and fold it in half three times. Make many cuts on it, as shown in the video, and expand. Screw the strip to the wire, periodically smearing it with glue. Glue the petals to the core in a circle.

Take a 5x1.5cm green rectangle and fold it in half twice. Zigzag the paper at one narrow edge. Spread out and zigzag up under the petals. Wrap a thin strip of green paper over the wire.

From the remaining identical green parts, make leaves, as shown in the video, and glue them to the top of the flower. Straighten the chamomile petals gently.

Chamomile can also be made from plain paper. Here's a detailed master class:

6. Paper cornflower

What do you need

• Scissors;
• ruler;
• pencil;
• lilac corrugated paper;
• blue corrugated paper;
• wire;
• glue gun;
• floral tape.

How to do

Cut two rectangles out of lilac paper about 9x2.5 cm in size. Fold each one in half twice and make many cuts to about the middle. Unfold the parts and twist the cut strips with your hands.

Cut out a piece of blue paper about 4 × 3 cm in size. Make many cuts on it to the middle and twist. Wrap floral tape around the wire. Glue the purple parts together, grease with glue and screw to the top of the wire. Glue the blue piece around.

Cut out a 10 x 4 cm purple rectangle, stretch the paper and fold it in half lengthwise. Then fold it in half across it twice. Cut the paper as shown in the video. Fully unfold the part and glue it together to the wire.

Wrap this wire around the middle of the prepared bud. Bend the wire down. Wrap the floral tape around the stem, starting from where the two pieces are attached. Smooth out the cornflower petals.

10. Paper peony

What do you need

• Scissors;
• yellow corrugated paper;
• glue gun;
• wire;
• pink corrugated paper;
• green corrugated paper.

How to do
