Three-dimensional flowers appliques for children. Flower applications using patterns
Applications made from colored paper have long been a traditional creative activity for children.
It allows you to develop skills in handling scissors, improve the work of children's hands and make the baby more careful. Every child will be able to make appliqués from colored paper with their own hands if they are given a feasible task.
So, the most affordable options for colored paper applique for children 4-5 years old can be:
Volumetric applications made of colored paper
Ladybugs. Cut out two red circles and a black semi-oval. Black dots are placed on the circles, after which one circle is glued exactly above the black semi-oval, and the second is bent in half and glued to the first circle. We complement the bug with toy eyes and antennae.

Using the 3D appliqué technique from colored paper, an autumn tree turns out to be very beautiful.
You can make a heart applique from pieces of red and pink paper. We use a heart made of cardboard as the basis.
We crumple the pieces a little and glue them to the base. The craft will look interesting if you alternate red and pink lumps.
Excellent appliques are obtained using the cutting technique. Small pieces of paper are glued tightly to one another using a thin stick.
This is the kind of airplane that can be folded from pieces of paper using the cutting technique.
Instead of glue, small pieces of paper can be fixed to a plasticine base.
Flat applications from pieces of paper
The herringbone applique from colored paper is made in a very interesting technology. Pieces of thin tissue paper are glued onto triangular bases. In this case, the pieces can seal the edges of the Christmas trees and stick to one another. Only after this the triangular base is glued onto the pre-painted background.

Applique with quilling elements “heart”
Applications with elements of quilling or paper rolling look very impressive. In order to make an applique we will need colored paper, a pencil, scissors and glue.
We make notches about 1 cm wide on the paper and roll it into a roll. We cut the roll along the notches. We should get paper curls, the ends of which we fix with glue.
Glue the paper curls onto a pre-prepared base - a paper heart.
Decorate the curls with rolled green paper. The curls begin to resemble graceful roses framed by petals. We create an interesting applique using the paper rolling technique.
Applications made of colored corrugated paper
Colored applique corrugated paper— “Vase with flowers”
Application “Vase with flowers”
You can make a very impressive “Summer Meadow” applique postcard from colored corrugated paper and wire. The technique for making it is very unusual. We wrap corrugated paper several times around an easily bendable rod or wire. Fix the end of the paper with glue.
Squeeze the paper onto the wire. Cut off the excess wire and tuck the ends. We should get colored thick sausages.
"Sausages" made of corrugated paper
From these “sausages” we lay out an applique on paper.
You can make a very beautiful wall panel with yellow flowers from colored corrugated paper.
A paper plate is a great base for colorful appliqué. What do you think of the idea of making a carrot bed out of a paper plate?
Application on paper plate"bed with carrots"
Very beautiful applications are obtained if they are based on a background painted in watercolors.
Application and drawing “spring”
Using different techniques and combining ideas in your own way, you can create unique paintings that will become a real manifestation of children's talent.
Any type of creative activity develops a child’s imagination, perception of colors, textures and shapes, and contributes to the formation of spatial and imaginative thinking in general. Thanks to working with applications, kids learn diligence, patience and perseverance. Applique is the simplest and most accessible form of creativity for a child, because children from the age of 2 can glue cut-out figures onto cardboard.
Applications made from colored paper
For most crafts you will need:
- Colored paper or cardboard
- Scissors
- Markers
For children under 3 years old
- Finger crafts
For such a lamb or dandelion you will need:
- Pre-cut blanks for a muzzle, eyes and legs or stems for a dandelion.
- White non-toxic paint: watercolor or gouache.
Glue the blanks onto the background, mark the boundaries - the circumference of a flower or a lamb. First, you show what needs to be done, and then let the child dip his fingers in the paint and leave fingerprints on the paper, without going beyond the drawn line.
- Crafts-stamps from pompoms
Another type of crafts that even the little ones can do.
To make this craft the following is used:
- Pom-poms as stamps,
- Paints.
Craft ideas: christmas tree, Easter eggs, ice cream scoops, clouds, tree crown, yellow chickens.
- Caterpillar made of circles
First, you will need to draw a line on paper - the basis of the future caterpillar, and then place the circles you cut out on this line. After that, remove them and show the child where to glue the circles.
- Ice cream
For this ice cream you will need:
- Stationery glitter,
- Cosmetic cotton pads.
Cut out an ice cream cone from paper or cardboard, paint cotton swabs yellow, blue and pink colors. The child’s task is to stick a cone and “balls” of ice cream on paper. Sprinkle the top of the cotton pads with multi-colored glitter, which can be found in any stationery store.
- Rabbit from cotton pads and plasticine
Materials:
- Plasticine,
- Spaghetti optional
- Cotton pads - 4 pcs.
You cut one disk in half - these will be the ears, and the second into 4 parts - these will be the rabbit's legs. Spaghetti is used as a mustache, but they can also be made from plasticine. Form balls from plasticine or you can ask your child to make them. Then the child simply glues the details of the craft onto paper, and you make antennae for the rabbit.
- Multilayer applications
At the age of 2-3 years, children especially love multi-layered appliqués.
You cut out the parts, show them in what order they need to be glued, and entrust the task to your child.
There is a second option for this craft - print a stencil, cut out parts from it and paint them with paints.
For them you will need:
- Green felt-tip pen or marker,
- Cotton pads.
Cut two cotton pads in half - this will be snow, then cut out snowdrop flowers from the discs and green leaves from paper. And the child is already gluing the details of the flower onto the paper.
For children from 3 to 5 years old
These applications are more complex; the child will have to independently cut out simple parts and glue them onto paper.
- Bunny
For it you need:
- Colored paper for background,
- Green for the grass
- Pink or red for ears and nose.
The child cuts out the parts according to the template, pastes them onto the background and draws the bunny’s mustache and eyes with a felt-tip pen (if there are no blanks).
To make ladybugs we will use red and black paper or cardboard.
Cut out 4 circles from red paper and 1 oval from black paper. We cut the oval in half, glue its parts onto the background, then glue one red circle, as shown in the image - the ladybug, and on top of the fold we glue the second circle, which will be the wings. We do the same with the second bug, then draw dots with black markers. Eyes can be made from paper or drawn with a felt-tip pen.
What you will need:
Colored paper - dark blue or black for the background, red for the apples, brown for the basket and green for the leaves.
Cut out apples from red paper. We cut the brown paper into 3 long strips and 2 slightly shorter ones. Cut out leaves for apples from green paper. First we glue two apples, then 2 short strips on the side - the edges of the basket. Then we glue two strips, one on top of the apples, the other on the bottom. Glue on another apple. And the final touch is the strip from the basket in the middle.
First we cut out an oval, which will be the penguin. Then two black hearts are the wings, one white one will be the belly, two orange ones will be the legs and one pink one will be the decoration.
Now let the child simply glue the details onto the background step by step.
- Goose made of cotton wool and seeds
Materials for the goose:
- cotton wool,
- Colored orange napkins or white napkins and orange paint,
- Pumpkin seeds.
First, draw the outline of a goose on paper.
Glue cotton wool along the contour, glue pumpkin seeds onto the goose’s wing.
We tear the napkin into small pieces and make lumps out of them. We glue these lumps onto the beak and paws of the goose.
Draw eyes with a felt-tip pen or marker.
- Paper lamb
You can draw such a lamb yourself, cut out the parts from cardboard and paste them onto a stencil, or print out a stencil and paint it. Using this method, you can make other animals - a rabbit, a cat, a dog or an elephant.
Drawing on cardboard with a simple pencil outline of the peacock, cut it out.
We cut out several circles from colored paper (how fluffy the tail will be depends on their number), cut each of them into 4 parts.
From one such part we make an accordion, repeat the same with the rest and glue them into a fluffy tail.
- Cactus
Required materials:
Paper: white for the background, green for the cactus and red for the flowers and spines.
In order to make such a cactus, you need to cut out: 3 large circles - this is the largest part of the cactus, which is located at the bottom in the image, 12 circles are slightly smaller in diameter and 3 small circles are the upper part of the cactus. We glue one large circle from below, and on both sides of it we glue two medium circles from above. From the right middle circle up to the left another middle one “grows” and from it up to the right - the smallest one. When the base of the cactus is ready, glue the rest of the corresponding size circles onto these circles and bend them in half. We repeat this procedure a third time and again bend the circles in the middle. Cut small spines from red paper and cut out flowers. Glue all the parts onto the cactus - and you're done!
- Apple
From green and red paper, cut out approximately 20 green stripes and 10 red ones. Draw the outline of a tree on brown cardboard, cut it out and paste it onto the background. We glue the ends of the strips together to form a circle, and glue it onto the “tree trunk”.
- Snowman
The technique for making a snowman is similar to the previous one: we cut out several long strips from white paper, connect their ends - we get a circle. We connect several of these circles together to form a sphere - this is the body of a snowman. We do the same with the head, but for this we use slightly shorter strips. We make a scarf from the red stripe and wrap it around the snowman’s neck. Using a felt-tip pen we draw eyes, a mouth and buttons. To make a carrot nose, cut out 1/4 of a circle as on a stencil and roll it into a cone. For the hat, cut out a circle and cut it like a sun.
- Bouquet of flowers using quilling technique
At this age, children are already able to create more complex crafts, such as this bouquet.
Quilling is a technique for creating three-dimensional appliqués from rolled strips of paper.
To create such an application you will need:
- 4 green strips of paper for stems,
- 10 shorter ones for leaves,
- 1 long pink one for a bow,
- 5 stripes of red, yellow and blue.
First, we glue long strips of stems onto the background, and glue a bow on top. We glue the ends of the shorter green strips together, slightly squeeze the resulting circle to form an oval from it - these are flower leaves. We twist yellow, red and blue stripes to make flower buds and glue them onto the craft.
- Rose from a lace napkin
This craft looks very beautiful and is extremely easy to do.
All you need to do is cut off the edge of the lace napkin and carefully twist it into a flower, so that you get a rose.
- Rose made of colored paper
We draw a spiral on red cardboard, cut out a strip along the line and begin to twist it with our fingers until we get a bud.
The stem for the flower can be made from colored wire.
Cut out leaves from green paper and glue to the stem. Rose is ready!
- Fish - chessboard
This application is made without glue. To begin, draw the outline of the fish on colored paper and cut it out. We bend the fish in half and start making cuts in the middle. They start approximately after the head and end before the tail. Next we cut out the strips different colors And different lengths which form the fin.
We insert a strip of one color, for example, orange, in “waves” so that one part is above the cut and the other below it. Same with other stripes. The result should be a checkerboard pattern.
- Volume machine
Another quite interesting application, which is also very easy to perform.
All you have to do is print out the template, color the car, cut it out and make two cuts on the protruding part at the end.
This article contains 25 of the most interesting applications and templates for DIY paper crafts for children. It’s no secret that any form of creativity develops a child’s thinking. Paper crafts are a wonderful activity that develops perseverance and patience. In turn, working with scissors, glue, plasticine and cutting out parts of crafts develops fine motor skills hands
These crafts are suitable for both home games and classroom activities. kindergarten or class. The youngest children can make simple applications that require sticking several figures onto paper. From the age of 3-4, when children begin to master scissors, they can already cut out simple objects from paper and glue them together. Since school age Children are already capable of making more complex crafts: for example, making appliqués using the quilling technique or cutting out small figures with a lot of detail.

Planar applications of flowers made of paper
You can do this type of craft with the youngest children. Planar appliqué is the traditional and easiest way to make a product using this technique. It is characterized by the fact that the reverse side of all elements is smeared with glue and attached to a base of paper or cardboard.
The following instructions describe in detail how to apply flat flower appliqué.
Volumetric applique “Flowers”
You can teach children 5-6 years old to make beautiful daisies. A voluminous flower can be part of a composition for greeting card or paintings. To complete this you will need paper (white, yellow and green), scissors, glue, napkin and cardboard.
Read about how flowers are created in the following description.
A children's flower applique will be a wonderful gift for a mother or sister on March 8th, her birthday. Kids enjoy doing this type of creativity. Teach children to create beauty with their own hands.
Creating an applique of flowers from colored paper is exciting activity, which helps not only to improve the motor skills of the child’s hands, but also to interest the child in creativity. The best paintings will become a wonderful home decoration and a child’s pride.
For creativity, prepare:
- pencil and ruler;
- scissors;
- sheets of paper of different colors;
- glue, preferably PVA.
Let's start with a simple paper flower applique
which even kids can make, consist of a small number of parts. The simplest flowers are cornflowers, buttercups, and bells. Using paper of different colors, you can make bouquets and various compositions.
Bells
To make the bell, fold a rectangular piece of paper in half slightly larger than the desired flower. Draw half of the flower so that the center is on the fold. Cut it out, unfold it. This method is suitable not only for bells - you can make tulips this way, and if you experiment with the shape, you can also make various fancy flowers. Petals can be round or sharp. The flower is ready, stick it on the base.
You can make the flower more interesting by making it a little more complex. Two ways.
1. Extension. Draw two lines on the bud with a pencil to divide it into petals. Cut the workpiece into three parts. Glue the resulting petals onto the paper at a small, equal distance. You can cut out the core of a flower from a sheet of paper of a different color, then first you need to glue it, and the petals on top.
2. Decorating the flower with additional elements. Take pieces of multi-colored paper, cut circles of different diameters (taking into account the size of the flower) or a smaller copy of the bud. Glue the bud and the blanks onto it.
Cornflowers and other flowers.
Square sheet of paper suitable size fold diagonally. Fold the resulting triangle in half, then again. You should get a triangle with a fold. With the fold facing you, draw a petal. Depending on what flower 
you want to get, choose the shape: rounded, sharp, with teeth. The last option is cornflower.
Another way to spice up your appliqué and make it a little more complex is to make it multi-layered.
Cut out flowers from pieces of colored paper different sizes. Glue the largest one to the base. Apply glue to the center of the first flower, glue a smaller flower, and the smallest one on top. The result will be double flowers.
Flower with separate petals.
If you want to make a flower with separate petals, fold a strip of paper like an accordion and draw a blank of any shape on it. Cut out the part along the contour. You will end up with many petals of the same shape, from which you can make a flower. Draw a circle on the base, then stick on the petals, trying to arrange them evenly. In the center of the flower, glue the core - a circle cut out of paper of a different color.
Chamomile
On a piece of paper, draw petals: 16 large, 12 smaller. Draw a circle on the base - this will be the core of the flower. Glue the petals along the edge of this circle. First lay out a row of large ones, then smaller petals. Glue the core into the center - a circle of a suitable size made of yellow paper.
The core can also be made voluminous, similar to the real one. To do this, tear a sheet of yellow paper into small pieces, apply glue to the center of the flower, and sprinkle scraps of the sheet on it.
Three-dimensional paper applique for children. Daisies.
Flower applications made from colored paper can also be voluminous. The process of creating them is a little more complicated, but they also look more interesting.
You will need thin strips cut from white paper, 7-8 cm long and 5 mm wide. For the core, cut out a circle from yellow paper.
On the wrong side of the core, draw a smaller circle - it will be more convenient to glue the petals along the line. Fold strips of white paper into a loop (in different options in different ways), glue the ends to the core. Stick all the petals on 
equal distance. Turn the finished chamomile over to the front side and glue it to the base.
