Challenge yourself, entertain your child and make an original decoration for a photo shoot. Choose a difficulty level and create the most beautiful paper flower.

According to legend, when Aphrodite emerged from the sea, the foam from her body turned into beautiful white roses. And when the goddess fled to the grove, where her beloved died, and hurt her legs on the thorns, the flower turned red. This is how the scarlet roses appeared. Now, to decorate a house with these plants, you do not need to swim or injure yourself. And from a pack of colored paper buds of all colors of the rainbow will come out.

Easily

We will need

1. Thick colored paper.
2. Pencil.
3. Scissors.
4. Glue.

How to do

1. Draw a spiral on the square of paper. Do not strive for perfect lines: the more arbitrary the drawing is, the more interesting the finished flower will come out.
2. Cut a strip of paper along the marked outline.
3. Roll the strip tightly, starting at the center of the spiral. Add some glue to the base to keep the structure strong.
4. The paper rose is ready! You can add a green cardboard leaf to it and plant the bud on a dry twig found in the yard. You can also make a whole bunch of paper of any color and size.

Fine

We will need

1. Corrugated paper.
2. Scissors.
3. A wire or twig for the stem.
4. Duct tape.

How to do

1. Cut petals out of paper: 15 in the shape of hearts and 5 in the shape of drops.
2. Stretch each petal from the center outward to give it a more natural shape and curve.
3. Fold up the edges of the petals with a pencil or pen.
4. If you have colored duct tape, wrap it around the stem for a natural look.
5. Start assembling the flower: first, petals in the shape of drops are attached to the wire, then in the shape of hearts. If necessary, secure the layers with adhesive tape.
6. If desired, make green leaves for the base of the bud.

A corrugated paper rose can be of any size, up to a giant one. And these flowers are perfect for an original photo shoot.

Hard

We will need

1. Colored paper.
2. Scissors.

How to do

1. Cut a sheet of paper into longitudinal strips 1–5 cm wide (you can make from 4 to 20 roses from one sheet).
2. Bend the strip diagonally following the instructions in the photo. It's not as easy as it sounds - try it yourself.

Impossible

Only for those who are confident in themselves: the Kawasaki rose.

Toshikazu Kawasaki is an origami theorist and teacher of mathematics at Sasebo Technical College. To understand how to fold a Kawasaki rose out of paper, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the detailed (and unreproducible in one article), as well as videos, which on average last from 10 to 40 minutes.

In short: a sheet of paper will need to be folded many times, unfolded many times, and then carefully folded along the fold lines. Sounds easy? Try it if you can.

Making paper crafts is not only interesting, but also useful. Fine motor skills, patience and the ability to overcome difficulties are developed. Plus it is a way to relax and enjoy the process of creating beauty.
