Master class on making paper topiary using the quilling technique. Creating a bright topiary using the quilling technique Video master class on creating a quilling topiary

Use: colored paper purple, pink, yellow, orange and white; quilling tool; glue; scissors; foam balls - two with a diameter of 10 cm, one - 12 cm; pots - 2 pcs. diameter 7 cm, one - 10 cm; sticks for the trunk; acrylic paint; brush; pieces of foam; colorful ribbon.

Prepare strips 9 mm wide, 8 cm long for the petals and 3 mm wide, 10 cm long for the flower core. Cut the fringe into wide strips. Glue the wide and narrow strips together and let dry. Using a quilling tool, twist the strips, starting with a thin strip. Secure the end of the paper with glue.

Let the glue dry for about 15 minutes and straighten the flower.

Make many of these flowers from different colored papers. Cover the foam ball with flowers tightly together.

Fill the pots with pieces of foam. Using tree branches, cut out sticks - two the same size and one longer. Stick them into the foam and add glue to the base to secure the stick.

Place foam balls with flowers on the stick. Paint your pots bright acrylic paints to match the colors and cover the foam with moss. For moss, you can use grass-type yarn or thinly cut paper. The last step is to tie bright ribbons at the base of each ball.

MK on creating a tree of happiness

Lesson on creating a Tree of Happiness from Natalia Isenbaeva

Today she will tell you how these trees of happiness are made:

The materials we need:
paper tapes for quilling 5 and 10 mm wide for tree crown, scraps of newspaper for papier-mâché forms - the base of the tree crown, itself papier-mâché mold(I used a ball, I bought specially Smeshariki marmalade, it was in a ball, for small trees you can use a table tennis ball), PVA glue, scissors, stationery knife(useful if you cut strips for quilling yourself), thick paper for the pot (you can use pastel paper), corrugated paper for grass in a pot plasticine bevel to fill the pot, cling film, napkins for winding the barrel, kernel or an old handle (skewer or toothpick) for the base of the barrel, gouache for tinting pots, grass and tree trunks, quilling tool.

1. Take a papier-mâché mold. It can be any spherical object.

2. My shape opens up, so I decided to make two halves of the ball and then glue them together. If your form is not divided into 2 parts without problems, then it will be quite possible to cut the papier-mâché obtained from newspapers in half and glue it together. It's best to wrap the mold cling film so that it does not stick to the newspapers.

3. We tear newspapers into small pieces, moisten the pieces with water, and coat them with glue. You need to make about 3 layers of newspapers. When you have applied the required number of layers, set the piece aside to dry.

4. I got a ball like this. I painted it with gouache so that the newspapers would not show through between the leaves and flowers of the tree crown.

5. For the tree trunk, take some kind of rod and napkins. I took the rod from the handle, but it turned out to be too flexible; the tree began to bend under the weight of the leaves. So I had to insert a metal paper clip into the rod, straightening it out. For a large tree, it is better to take a skewer - you will get an elegant trunk, or an old handle - a more massive trunk. For small trees, toothpicks are ideal.

6. Twist half of the napkin into a rope.

7. Wind the resulting tourniquet around the rod. Secure the ends with glue.

8. Let's connect our crown to the trunk using glue. Before doing this, you need to make a small hole in the crown to insert the trunk into it. We will paint the trunk with gouache.

9. These are the strips we will need for quilling. Narrow 5 mm wide, and wide with cut fringe 10 mm.

10. To twist the flowers, glue these two strips together.

11. This is the homemade quilling tool I use. This is an old cap from a felt-tip pen (I hadn’t noticed before that it was so damaged)) and a thin needle with a long eye, the tip of which was broken off.

12. We begin to twist the flower.

13. Using glue, secure the end. The flower roll should be tight.

14. For my tree I made these white flowers.

15. The fluffy pieces (“leaves”) for the tree spin in the same way, but without a middle.

16. These are the green fluffies I made for my tree. You can make them multi-colored, then you can use only them, without flowers.

17. We fix our tree on plasticine.

18. Using glue, we “dress” our tree with foliage and flowers.

19. After all the flowers and leaves have taken their place, let's start making the pot. Let's use thick paper. This can be colored cardboard or pastel paper. Let's roll a cylinder out of a strip of paper, cut out a circle of the same diameter and two strips 10 mm wide.

20. Glue strips along the edge of the cylinder to simulate thickness (this will make our pot more “ceramic”).

21. Glue the bottom of the pot.

22. Let's remove our piece of plasticine from the tree trunk; now it has the necessary hole, into which we will then place the trunk back. Wrap the plasticine in film (plasticine is greasy and can leave unsightly stains on the pot over time, so let’s play it safe). Then we will place this piece of plasticine in our “newly made” pot and give it a good morning.

23. Now let's insert the tree trunk back into the hole in the plasticine. Agree, you can already see the end result

24. To fix the barrel well, use a circle of thick paper. Let's cut a hole in it for the barrel and make an incision as seen in the photo.

25. Let's move on to making weed. To do this, cut the corrugated paper into “squares” of approximately 15 mm. If the shape turns out to be not quite square, don’t be upset, mine is not square either - I’m not upset!

26. Here we will use the trimming method. Take a gel pen refill. We “put” a piece of corrugated paper on its end, press it down, creating the desired shape.

27. Using glue, we attach the blades of grass to our “soil” in the pot.

28. Let's see what happened. You can leave it like that. But for greater realism, I added some nuances with gouache.

29. Add scuff marks to the pot. Apply gouache with a semi-dry brush. We will also revive the grass with gouache.

30. Let's see what happened. We rejoice!!!

31. The tree can also be decorated with a butterfly.

32. And this is how it will become.

Hello dear readers. I suggest detailed master class on creating Topiary decorated with flowers using the quilling technique.
In one of my master classes posted on this site, I already told you what topiary is. And now I would like to pay more attention to the quilling technique.
Quilling, from English word Quill (bird feather) is the art of making flat or three-dimensional compositions from long and narrow strips of paper twisted into spirals. Quilling is also called "paper filigree".
Flowers and patterns are created from paper spirals, which are then usually used to decorate cards, albums, gift packaging, photo frames.
The art of paper rolling originated in Europe in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. In medieval Europe, nuns created elegant medallions by twisting paper with gilded edges onto the tip of a bird's feather.
Nowadays, paper rolling is widely known and popular as a hobby. It's simple and very beautiful view handicrafts that do not require large expenditures. Among other things, you can successfully involve children in quilling.
To practice quilling, you do not need expensive tools and a specially equipped workplace. In order to make a composition of almost any complexity You will need the following materials:
-PVA glue and Moment glue
-scissors
-quilling strips or colored paper
-threads
-ready base in the shape of a ball or balloon
-toothpicks
- sushi chopsticks or skewers
-small flower pot
-ribbon for decoration

Getting started, let's start with making flowers. You can buy special paper for quilling in craft stores or make the blanks yourself. To do this, you need to cut out strips of red paper measuring 30x1cm, which will later take on the shape of small petals. And the core will be strips measuring 30x0.5 cm in three colors - yellow, green, orange. The finished strips must be glued together as follows: red + yellow, red + green, red + orange. We will need about a hundred of these strips.

We make cuts on the red stripes as shown in the photo.

Let's take two-color stripes and start twisting them into a tight roller, starting with yellow (green, orange) using a toothpick. When the diameter of the roller becomes 3-4 mm, it can already be removed from the toothpick and twisted by hand. We twist the thick roller with both hands, constantly intercepting it with our fingers so that paper tape didn't bloom.

Glue the end of the strip with PVA glue.

Now we need our flowers to bloom.

Now let's get to the base. There are many options, one of which is a ready-made foam base in the shape of a ball.
But we will create our topiary from scrap materials. So, we pull a thread through PVA glue with a needle and wrap it around a pre-inflated balloon with a diameter of 6-10 cm.

The thread must be wound so that the ball is almost invisible.

It is not necessary to wait until the threads dry; we can immediately glue our blossoming flowers using Moment glue.

Now we need to be patient and wait about 10 hours for the glue to dry completely and we can pull out the ball.

After the ball is removed, we insert sushi sticks or skewers into the finished hole, which will serve as the trunk of our topiary and place it in a flower pot filled with plaster. The last touch remains: decorate the trunk satin ribbon. Ready!

As an option, I made a ball with a ribbon, made using the quilling technique, which can be hung

Good luck to you and creative success!

Quilling topiary is interesting craft to create which you can use children school age. Although many adults will spend time with interest twisting paper flowers.

Materials:

• Colored paper 2-4 colors, but more is possible
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Simple pencil
• Pva glue
• Glue gun
• Toothpicks or quilling tools
• Pot or other container
• Plastic or foam ball
• Thick wire, skewer or stick (for a tree trunk)
• Green corrugated paper

Quilling topiary (creation process):

Let's start making topiary with flowers made using the quilling technique. To create them, you need to cut strips of paper (along the sheet) 3-4 ml wide for the middle and 7-8 ml wide for the flower itself.

Glue the tip of the wide strip to the tip of the thinner strip.

Now take a toothpick and wind a thin strip on it, and then a thick one. Fix the end of the strip with glue.

We turn the fringe to the sides and get this flower:

We make the rest of the flowers the same way. You can make them in two or three colors, one color or multi-colored. I settled on yellow flowers with a white center and white flowers with a lilac center. The number of yellow flowers was increased, but this is a matter of taste. The number of flowers for topiary depends on the diameter of the ball.

When the flowers are ready, let's start preparing for the topiary. Make a hole in the ball, coat the tip of a twig or wire with glue and insert it into the ball. If necessary, we paint the topiary trunk or wrap it with thread. Another option is to cover the barrel with corrugated paper.

Place the topiary blank in a pot or other container with plaster diluted with water and wait until it hardens.

Glue the flowers to the ball using a glue gun or other quick-drying glue. It's better to start from the top.

And in the end all that remains is to disguise the plaster. For these purposes, cut green corrugated paper placed on PVA glue is perfect.

Teacher's Day is perhaps the most common professional holiday, which is celebrated in many neighboring countries. It has truly become popular, because the profession of a teacher was and remains to this day one of the most important. A teacher is not even a profession, but a way of life. Today, as in all centuries, a teacher is not only and not so much a keeper of knowledge, a model of behavior and imitation for children, but a master who is able to teach his students to find the necessary knowledge in the vast ocean modern sciences, gain experience in self-education. A true teacher should inspire his students to learn.

On Teacher's Day, it is customary to give flowers to teachers, but I propose to move a little away from this cliche and make an unusual and original craft with your own hands. We will make a globe, because this object has become an attribute that almost everyone associates with school.

To work we will need:

1. Styrofoam ball;
2. Quilling strips;
3. A tool for winding quilling strips or a regular wooden skewer;
4. Ruler with designation of the diameter of circles;
5. Glue – pencil, tape, simple pencil;
6. Scissors;
7. A small sheet of white cardboard;
8. Plastic straw for drinks.

First, we will make a leg for the future globe: to do this, we roll a sheet of thick cardboard into a cone, secure the edges with tape, and cut the bottom of the cone with scissors to the required length, ensuring its stability.

Make a small hole in the foam ball and insert a cone into it. The cone should fit tightly into the hole, but for reliability, its edges can be lightly coated with glue. It is better to use dry glue for work rather than PVA, such as a glue stick.

To indicate the poles on the globe, insert a small piece of wooden skewer into the resulting model of the globe from the top and bottom, onto which we subsequently glue small pieces from a plastic straw for juices.

Now with a simple pencil Let us roughly designate the continents and islands on the globe.

Well, now we can “decorate” our globe. We will “decorate” with “drops” twisted from quilling strips. The “drop” shape was not chosen by chance, since it allows you to most fully fill all the voids and gaps on the globe. To make a “drop,” insert the end of the strip into the socket of the quilling tool and twist it tightly.

After this, we place our roll in a circle on a ruler with a diameter of 14 mm, loosen it and let it unwind a little. Glue the end of the resulting roll.

I would like to draw your attention to the fact that when working on creating quilling figures, it is highly recommended to use a ruler with marked diameters of the circles; in this case, all the figures will be exactly the same in size.

We make drops of the colors that should be present on the globe. In this work, mainly blue and blue colors, since most of the earth consists of water, and the colors chosen for the continents were orange, green, yellow, white. We place the “drops” and glue them close to each other so that there is no free space between them.

After the entire ball is covered with multi-colored “drops”, you can “decorate” the leg of the globe. Here also a “drop” figure of only one color was used.

Well, at the end you need to build an arc, which is present on any globe. We will also make it from “drops”, only we flatten them on both sides. The “drops” will be black so that the arc contrasts with the color of the globe.

We glue the figures directly onto the globe, connecting them to each other, starting from the top pole to the bottom.

So our gift for Teacher's Day is ready. I am sure that teachers will definitely like it, because a gift not bought in a store, but made with one’s own hands, carries a piece of the warmth of the soul of the child who made it. Happy holiday, dear teachers!
