Spring flowers for cutting. Templates and stencils of flowers for cutting
Flowers, one of nature’s marvelous creations, are appropriate at different moments in life, including when creating various types of decor or crafts (such as vytynanka (vytynanka from Ukrainian - to cut). Stencils and templates will help you create simple and complex cute and useful crafts. The benefits of the hobby of paper cutting for a child are undeniable.
Flower stencil for cutting, how to make a stencil from a printed vytynanka template
Stencil (dense material (wallpaper, plastic, etc.) with slots that form one or another pattern. You can simply trace the corners of the sheet with a simple pencil. This is a simple process, but requires care and patience.
To transfer a pattern to the surface, first, you need to stock up:
1. Whatman paper or a piece of wallpaper;
2. scissors or a stationery knife;
3. pencil, eraser, ruler and marker;
secondly:
1. click on the picture you like;
2. choose a suitable template for flower protrusions;
3. download the template for yourself and print it (it can be roses, poppies, daisies, etc.);
4. cut with scissors or a knife;
5. Apply the stencil to fabric or paper and fill it with paint, aerosol or even putty, and enjoy the beautiful result.
Next, decide on the size of the drawing. Outline the area on the sheet, without going beyond these limits. Decide on the size of the stencil - make it so that it is 5-10 cm larger than the area of the drawing, then it will be convenient to work with this form.
Then draw a grid, dividing the internal area of the future drawing into equal intervals. In this case, the pattern will be symmetrical and proportional, and this is the main task of the protrusion.
Decide on the direction of the pattern - the sinusoid drawn from the lower left corner will become a guide along which you will then apply the pattern.
BY THE WAY: If you are not an artist, and for the first time you decide to start making flowers, take templates with more simple forms. Having cut them out of thick paper, apply them to the base and trace them with a pencil. To prevent the stencil from breaking and to make it more convenient to cut out the details, try to place the flowers randomly and not very close to each other.
If you have done everything as planned, use a contrast marker to outline each line that needs to be cut. And then you can easily navigate the cutting process. And then cut out the design along these lines with a stationery knife.
REMEMBER: Start with the larger pieces and the top. And if you have to work with a large stencil, put something under the base.
If all the parts are cut out, start using a stencil, securing it with masking tape, for example.
Important Tips
- The stencil is soft and will most likely be disposable. Although, if you use spray paint, it can serve you more than once. But hard stencils, say, made of cardboard, wallpaper, X-ray film, etc., last longer.
- The paint will not flow under the paper if, when painting the surface with the template, you use a foam sponge or roller and do not allow any excess.
How to make voluminous paper flowers from a printed template, step by step
Firstly, flowers can be created in different ways. Yes, a rose may seem difficult to work with. But it only seems!
To make a voluminous paper rose, stock up on:
1. thick cardboard
2. corrugated paper
3. with a simple pencil,
4. scissors,
5. thick wire,
6. green floral ribbon,
7. adhesive tape,
8. glue.
Step-by-step production of one flower
Step 1. Print your chosen template and apply it to thick cardboard.
Step 2. Cut out petals from paper in the form of a heart (there should be 15 of them) and in the form of drops (5 pieces).
Step 3. In order for the petals to take shape, the hearts must be slightly stretched to the sides, and the drops must be twisted with a pencil.
Step 4. Wrap 2 pieces of wire with floral tape; these are the future stems.
Step 5. Glue a piece to them like a core corrugated paper.
Step 6. To create a bud, you need to glue the drops and hearts with adhesive tape.
Step 7. After cutting out a sepal from green crepe paper, secure it at the base of the flower with adhesive tape.
Step 7. All that remains is to cut out the leaves and attach them to the stem.

Good afternoon, today I'm finally uploading large selection master classes on the topic of paper flowers. Here are the most interesting ways to make paper flowers. We will make a variety of flowers - flat and three-dimensional - from corrugated paper and thick colored paper. I will show you every craft step by step in photos and I will give as much as possible detailed instructions to each flower made in one way or another. I will also give stencils– templates of flower silhouettes. All the crafts I collected are posted in order from simple to complex. First of all, we will study the MOST UNDERSTANDABLE techniques for folding paper flowers (those that are easy to understand and repeat ourselves)... and gradually move on to MORE COMPLEX and painstaking instructions (to prefabricated detailed flowers and the origami technique). I also uploaded a special article dedicated to different ways to make a paper rose - here is the link to it
And also, for educators (teachers and educators) I made an article with simple children's crafts WITH FLOWERS, which can be done in class at school and kindergarten from paper and other materials:
I specifically decided to do so big a selection of paper flowers in one place - with the goal that you can immediately find a suitable scheme for assembling a flower for THAT PAPER THAT YOU HAVE, and for the task that you want to solve with the help of paper flowers (a flower craft as a gift for mom, decoration children's day birthdays with voluminous flower arrangements, wedding decoration, decor of cards or gift bags).
The only thing I didn’t include in the body of this article was PAPER ROSES. I found ways to make a voluminous rose so much that I had to put these crafts in a separate article on the same site, it will be called that “Paper roses - 20 ways to make them yourself.”
But before we begin the master classes themselves, I want to make you fall in love with the very idea of paper flowers. I want even casual visitors to this web page to have itchy hands and eyes to light up. And I want to awaken in you delight and a burning desire to make a flower with your own hands. So that this magic arises... so that your soul also spreads its petals and blooms...
Let's see what piece of life a flower you made can decorate. Here are examples of how an ordinary table setting can become very beautiful and formal with lush floral crafts.
Also, large paper flowers made of crepe or corrugated paper are used for decorative purposes. for celebration decoration– wedding hall, children's birthday party, incendiary party. They are mounted on the wall or on the backs of chairs, or tied to window handles.
But such large flowers can be made from A4 paper (office size) or from a roll of corrugated crepe paper.
Photographers and photo studios also use voluminous large paper flowers as exclusive props for staged photographs.
You can also make such a large paper flower simply as a gift for Mother’s Day, or for March 8th. Surely no one has ever given your mother something like this before. Will be remembered for a long time. And you can also take a picture of your mother right away with this flower - she will proudly post this photo on her social media page.
Ordinary plastic combs, rims and metal pins can also be decorated with voluminous paper flowers. So we will get elegant hair decorations for a wedding or party.
Miniature paper flowers can decorate postcards self made , and other scrapbooking crafts (like these delicate pansies from corrugated paper).
Also, a paper flower made with your own hands is the best decoration for gift box . And not costly. A lush gift ribbon costs much more than a couple of sheets of colored or white office paper– a few movements with scissors and an orchid made of paper or a delicate one has bloomed on your packaging pink wild rose hips.
And the flowers themselves can be a great stand-alone gift. If you arrange your work in the form of a basket, or a decorative panel (as in the photo with poppies made of colored paper).
If you learn how to make paper flowers with your own hands, you can use this talent in many areas of life. It will be simple and easy for you to decorate a hall for any holiday, decorate a family celebration at home, or beautifully decorate gifts for relatives and friends, or entertain the neighbor kids by organizing interesting craft with a master class.
METHOD No. 1
PAPER FLOWERS
I decided to call the flowers made this way "puff pastries" because their construction principle is the same as that of puff pastry. Subtle layers of floral silhouettes overlap each other. And each layer is given convex volume(or faceted relief), and due to this the flower looks lush and voluminous.
Here in the photo below we see step-by-step master class for beginners on creating such a voluminous dahlia flower. The dahlia is not to be confused with the aster; the aster has narrower petals and each has an edge (a raised fold like on trousers).
So... let's look carefully at the photo of the flower craft below. The trick here is that paper is cut layer outlines– each contour has six petals, and differs from its counterparts only in size. That is, the shape of the stencil is the same - only the size is different.
Before gluing each cut paper arch the silhouette in order to give it a natural shape. We begin gluing and assembling the paper dahlia from the little ones middle layers to larger and larger ones.
Of course you have a QUESTION:“And how to cut such uniformly sized petal circles-layers.
ANSWER: Here's the one simple and quick way make such a flower with your own hands as a novice master. It does not require searching for a stencil template, but allows you to obtain geometrically even petal parts for a paper flower without any measuring instruments (compasses and rulers).
- Take a sheet of paper and glasses different radii. We trace them on a sheet of paper.
- We cut out the resulting rounds, fold each round in four and in half again (as when cutting out a snowflake). And on such a round piece folded into a triangle we draw outlines of two petals (like a heart).
- We cut this contour with scissors (see photo below) - we deepen the cutout in the middle of the heart - we unfold it and get a petal layer.
Because we have circles of different sizes - then we will get petal layers different in size. We set the relief, put it together, add a yellow stamen-middle (stamens will be discussed below).
Such a delicate flower can be strung on a wire (to make a stem) and given as a gift paper bouquet for Mother's Day to my mother.
ANSWER: An ordinary round stick (pencil or pen, or knitting needle) can serve as a stamp for imprinting relief on the petals. Here's how you can do it yourself, you can clearly see in the photo of a flower craft below.
The flower assembly diagram is the same as the previous one (see step-by-step photos).
Using the PAPER PAY technique you can make a variety of three-dimensional flowers (anemones, poppies, asters, dahlias, roses). The evidence is in the photo below.
You see – the same “puff” method – but the results are completely different flowers. And all due to the fact that the silhouettes of the paper petal layers are DIFFERENT IN THEIR OUTLINES.
And don’t forget that not only the contour (silhouette, shape of the petal) is important... but the RELIEF of the petals is also important. It is the correctly defined relief that transforms flat outlines into living convex layers of the future flower.
For relief we need round sticks of varying thickness (thin knitting needles, toothpicks, thick round-sided markers, felt-tip pens, spherical perfume caps, or lollipops). Any items that will help set the shape.
So that the relief lies neatly on thick paper– you may need to slightly moisten it before work (sprinkle it from a spray bottle or hold it on a wet towel). Try it and see how it works better - dry or wet.
And here's to you ready-made templates puff paper flower. Flower stencils are already several sizes. You can right now put a sheet of paper on the glowing screen and trace with a pencil these silhouettes shining through from the screen onto your sheet of paper (this is my favorite way copy the template without any printer - not every home has a printing device).
And you can also resize any template using a computer mouse.
Look - in the photo below I give you a template silhouette. Silhouette is only ONE size. Do you want to get this silhouette? different sizes – to make a multi-layer paper flower craft.
To change the size of this silhouette, you press on the keyboard with one hand buttonCtrl, and while holding this button down, use your other hand to turn the mouse wheel - back and forth. And from this action of yours, everything that is now drawn on your screen increases or decreases, depending on where you turn the wheel - away from you or towards you.
Try this right now– press and twist. See how the stencil design image below has changed size? This way you can directly on the computer screen, adjust the template to any size and trace it with a pencil on a sheet of paper placed on the screen of your monitor. This is the fastest way to get the outline of any flower stencil immediately in any size we need.
Here are shaped templates for future paper flowers - and you can change the size of the picture yourself. And you can design and create any paper flower with your own hands. 
Let’s also take a closer look at the interesting additions to such layered colors.
How to make a stamen
in puff paper flowers.
Below is an interesting step-by-step lesson where we see how a stamen for a multi-layer paper flower is created step by step.
How to apply
large inflorescence
on one stalk.
And I would also like to show another one here clever and simple trick which allows you to do whole inflorescence of flowers on one stem. In nature, there are often flowers where many flower cups nest in one place and have common central stem.
This is exactly the kind of flower craft that the step-by-step master class in the photo below will demonstrate.
- We cut out a bunch of stems with a common round base from green thick paper (or cardboard). We glue double-sided tape onto this round base.
- We twist a tube from a newspaper and wrap it in green paper. Glue the tube-stem to the round base - twisting it around the stem.
- We make flowers (from two red layers and one black stamen). We glue each flower onto its stem. We add wide leaves to the central stem-leg. It turns out to be a very beautiful stem-bouquet made of paper.
How to make a layer flower
WITH ASSYMETRICAL petals.
But in the photo below we see from what shaped layers it is created paper flower DIY ORCHID.
In a glass of water add a drop of green paint– we get light green water. We wet the white parts of the orchid with this water; they become white-green (exactly like in nature).
Next while the pale green petals are still wet, we apply lines of purple paint on them - on wet paper the lines themselves blur slightly - we get an uneven, blurry color (exactly like a real orchid).
The middle part of the orchid - top layer We also make it green... and along the very edge (right along the cut of the paper) we paint it bright purple. Thus, when we lift this top layer up, the purple edges stick out upward with their color, imitating the position and color of the furry central petals of an orchid.
The same principle is used to create various asymmetrical flowers-crafts. Let's remember what other flowers do not have circular symmetry in their cup... that's right, these are PANSIES (photo below).
- Lower layer of blue petals (total 2 pieces with location in the upper direction).
- After blue layer petals (also 2 pieces spread out to the sides).
- And the third top layer in the form just one white petal.
- Then we smear the central part of the flower with yellow color, and draw the central lines with a pencil. We make yellow stamen balls from crumpled paper (or from plasticine).
A simple DIY craft that even a child can do. The main thing is to prepare templates in advance that the child will trace on colored paper.
Volumetric puff flower
made of THIN paper.
We do such techniques as “different layer sizes” and “work on folding the relief on paper petals” only when we use ordinary THICK COLORED PAPER
But if If you make flower crafts from CREPE, CRUMPTED PAPER, then you don’t need to specify the relief there. The texture of the paper itself will allow you to make a fluffy three-dimensional flower.
Moreover, The corrugated structure of the paper allows you not to even bother with getting LAYERS OF DIFFERENT SIZES. That is all layers of the flower can be the same size. The master classes on paper flowers below clearly prove this.
Do you see? All layers of the flower are the same size. We pierce the middle of the layers folded in half with a hole punch (or a needle and thread, or fasten with a stapler). Unfold the flower and fluff its layers into a fluffy pompom. These are very beautiful large paper flowers.
This is perhaps the easiest and lightning fast way to make a flower with your own hands. It turns out big, lush, rich and expressive.
If we choose napkins of two colors and apply them alternating colors, we will get a play of halftones in each layer, and our flower will look like a rose.
You see, in the method below we make identical silhouettes from napkins of two colors (in shape and size like twin brothers). Under the bottom we place a piece of cardboard with two holes (like a button... however, the cardboard can be replaced with a button). And we thread threads into the holes and pierce through all the layers of the napkin. We tie a knot in the middle of the flower and fluff out all the corrugated layers of the craft with our hands.
Think for yourself how you can diversify and complement this airy napkin flower. You can also add border color– to do this, slightly stain the cut out napkin silhouettes around the edges with an office marker.
Turn on your imagination... and let her play with napkins to her heart's content. There is never a shortage of tea napkins. And suddenly you will give birth to your own designer flower.
And red carnations are made using the same method. Identical round pieces with a jagged edge are also cut out of a napkin - and deep cuts into the petal parts. And then they simply overlap each other with a drop of glue in the center... or instead of glue in the center, we pierce them with a stick (there will be a stem on it. Beautiful craft-a flower with your own hands for February 23rd for dad, or for Victory Day for grandfather.
And exactly according to the same principle as carnations (on step by step lesson above) double Lingeri daffodils are also made. This is what they are like in nature – lush and voluminous.
Spring flowers made of paper – good gift for mom on March 8th. And now you will find out how easy it is to make them yourself.
And here's how to make them from dyed paper napkins. We place a stack of napkins on top of each other - fold them into quarters - into a triangle - cut off the edges with a jagged semicircle. We paint the top napkins in a bright yellow color, and the middle layers of napkins in a light yellow color, leaving the bottom layer white.
Now about the material. Daffodils are gorgeous, you say, but where can you get these paper colors (pale yellow and bright yellow)? Here, I tell you, there are 2 ways at once - 1) dye white paper napkins 2 shades of yellow... or 2) get a pale shade of yellow from bright yellow crepe crepe paper.
INSTRUCTION No. 1. How to dye a white paper napkin.
ANSWER: We paint the napkin in a straightened form with tinted water. Dye some water in a glass and pour it onto a straightened napkin. We wait for the napkin to dry naturally (about a day).
INSTRUCTION No. 2. How to make light yellow from bright yellow crepe paper.
ANSWER: Take yellow crepe paper - put it on a wet towel - put a dry white napkin on top. We iron it with an iron - the bright crepe paper gives up its moisture to the dry napkin, and along with the moisture it partially gives off its color. And we already get PALE YELLOW crepe paper. This way we can change the shades of crepe corrugated paper.
As you can see, everything is solvable - if you turn on your head and think... and try to experiment. Knowledge often comes through experience (even if this path is messy). One bad experience can give rise to several ideas at once. I somehow wet the crepe paper and ruined the craft, but I saw that when it gets wet, the crepe paper loses its color. And one day I spilled water for washing brushes on paper napkin– and it turned into a soft, even color. So out of two jambs - I got 2 experiences in changing color for delicate and thin paper textures.
Well, this was all just about the FIRST METHOD of making paper flowers with your own hands. I deliberately made this first chapter of our article so extensive and detailed so that you immediately understand a simple and important truth:
Even one single design can have MULTIPLE CONTINUATIONS... numerous variations... endless designs. And you yourself can become the author - and create your own paper flower, made in the same way of “shaped layers superimposed on each other” ».
Now let's look at the next way to make flowers from colored paper with your own hands.
METHOD No. 2
Paper flowers
TWISTED INTO A TUBE.
We have been familiar with this method of creating flowers since childhood. We all made classic flower crafts at school or kindergarten. for February 23 - red carnations made of crumpled crepe paper. They twisted a strip of paper around a toothpick, wrapped a piece of green paper around the twist, and fluffed a bunch of flower panicles.
And it never occurred to us that inside this primitive method there was hidden a recipe for more than just the humble clove.
This method " twisting crepe paper into a roll" can give birth to completely different three-dimensional and flat flowers. It all depends on how we changed the SHAPE OF THE EDGE OF THE PAPER STRIP. Depending on its pattern, we will get paper flowers that are completely different in design.
Here's photo proof. Do you see?
Different regions produce different flowers– disheveled aster, neat chamomile, chrysanthemums. Even roses can be made in this way (but roses will be discussed in a separate article - in detail and in detail, as befits the queen of flowers).
And not only from soft corrugated (crepe) paper you can make craft flowers using this ROLL technique.
Here you go in the photo below - an example of paper flowers in the same roll rolling technique FROM REGULAR THICK COLORED PAPER (office double-sided colored paper).
This is a simple job and very simple instructions.
- A narrow strip of paper was wound onto a thin rod (or toothpick) (to form the center of the flower).
- And then a winding of more than wide tape, already cut along the edge into petal strips.
- And the petals are folded to the side - like a spreading umbrella.
AND IF YOU ADD A THRUST FOR EXPERIMENT TO THIS SIMPLE TWISTING TECHNIQUE, YOU CAN GET NEW DESIGNS OF PAPER FLOWERS.
For example, what if... You can’t just bend these petals to the sides with a flat, spreading daisy, but slightly twist the tip of each petal inward (as we do with curls in the morning) - and you’ll get a voluminous, lush ASTER.
What if... make a strip for twisting with AREAS OF DIFFERENT WIDTH. We see the result of this idea in the photo diagram below.
- A narrow strip (1 cm wide) for the middle stamen (wrap it in a tight roll on a toothpick).
- Next, we wrap a petal strip (with a fringed edge) 2 centimeters wide onto this roll.
- And then we wind a petal strip 2.5 cm wide...
- and then a petal strip 3 cm wide.
And thanks to the different widths of the stripes, we will get a roll flower in which the height of the petals increases from the center to the edges.
As you can see, you can and should do EXPERIMENTS with this simple roll technique. Let's continue to encourage our inquisitive mind and decide on another wild idea...
WHAT IF, cut the fringe not straight, but diagonally. And what if... this oblique fringe is not cut along the edge CUT, and along the edge of the FOLD (that is, bend the strip in half along the entire length, and cut this fold line diagonally into a fringe, and then twist it in this form.
We see the result in the photo below - an amazing aster with spirally twisting carved perforated petals. A beautiful flower craft - it looks like a difficult job, but making it with your own hands is simple and quick.
Such shaggy flowers with oblique petals can be used as a shaggy stamen for other flowers.
Like for example in this master class in the photo below. Do you see?
There, too, a bent strip is cut along the OBLIQUE FRINGE... and an orange shaggy stamen is formed - needed to decorate the center of the paper aster.
By the way, the paper aster itself from the photo below is made in a very original and simple way.
- The base of the aster is a puff (multi-rayed star with chopped rays).
- Each ray in the puff is bent with a slate ruler into a sharp arrow (like on trousers).
- The layers are superimposed on each other - we get a lush flower.
And just the stamen inside this voluminous flower is made using the OBLIQUE FRINGE technique, which we just talked about.
This roll equipment can be combine with a regular petal puff (Method No. 1 from this article).. Yes – you can – because it occurs in nature. God himself once came to this idea - and created the Marigold flowers. And we will implement this method of combining a roll and a puff on paper. (see how this is done in the infographic below).
In roll technology the fluffy center of the flower is made. And using the “Puff Puff” technique“The lower petal part of the marigold flower is made of paper (templates with five-leaf silhouettes). Photo instructions for assembling the flower are below.
But here is a rosehip flower - where the stamen and the middle are also combined using the rolling twist technique and 2 petal layers. By the way, you can make them large sheets A4 format and stick it on the wall - and your living room will be transformed. Buy a pack of red office paper from the stationery store and play interior designer. All the neighbors will come running to gasp with delight.
But here is a flower craft where the roll technique is also used to create a fluffy panicle-stamen, and the side petals are simply glued separately onto the lower layers of the fluffy panicle-stamen.
You get large sunflowers from crepe paper.
Using a similar ROLL-BUNK + INDIVIDUAL PETAS technique, you can also make a daffodil flower with your own hands.
But these flowers, EITHER LILAC OR SALVIA - with a long stem of inflorescences, are also made using the roll technique.
Yes, yes, this is also a regular roll technique, with the only difference being that the strip of paper is not rolled into a tube, but wrapped around in a spiral roll around a long stick.
Here in the photo below is a master class of this lush paper flower.
- A wide strip of crepe (corrugated) paper cut into long fringe.
- We wrap the fringes on a toothpick(or a knitting needle) - and we get curls along one edge of the ribbon.
- We take a long wooden skewer and wrap our paper tape with curly fringe – wrapping begins from the upper end of a wooden skewer and goes down in a spiral.
- We do it under the flower green wrapping skewer and glue wide green leaves to this stem.
Paper rose flowers
FOLDING method.
Using the roll technique, you can quickly roll up a paper rose. We will have a separate article on paper roses. But I will give two master classes right here - because they cover the roll technique of creating flowers.
Here is the first step-by-step paper rose master class. Thick paper is used here and in order for the petal parts to have the geometry of broken pink petals, you need this thick paper paper strip, in the process of rolling into a roll, PUSH AND TWIST around itself.
And don't pay attention to these centimeters... Just take it the very essence this instruction. Cut a strip of paper from the draft and try to twist it into a rose, simply bending the strip as God wishes - the paper itself will tell you where to bend and turn it.
Many other options for making a paper rose from different types papers you will find in the article
And here's another way Roll up a roll of paper so that it looks like a rose. For such a roll, we need a paper strip NOT IN A STRAIGHT SHAPE, but to make a strip of paper IN THE SHAPE OF A SPIRAL.
Enough for this draw a snail on a piece of cardboard(uneven curve, no matter what). This drawn spiral will be the template for our paper flower.
Now this spiral line needs to be cut and then start twisting the roll NOT FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE SPIRAL... but rather FROM ITS EDGE. And a paper rose will appear in our hands by itself.
My advice, do not use glazed slippery glossy paper for this rose craft.– such an elastic rose will strive to turn around or the spiral circles will slip out of the flower’s bed. It is better to choose rough paper or not very thick cardboard - this way the rose will better hold its shape.
Paper flowers
Method No. 3
Using the POMPOM technique.
Here's an even faster way to create a fluffy, voluminous flower. It is made using the pompom technique - from corrugated crepe paper
This technique is good because it allows you to very quickly make large flowers from paper - since crepe paper is sold in large rolls (like wallpaper). And each roll can turn into a large flower for holiday decoration.
The master class in the photo below shows how to make such a lush paper flower with your own hands. We fold a wide (20 cm wide) ribbon several times to create many layers. We cut the folded ribbon into fringe from TWO EDGES, leaving the middle intact.
We fluff the fringe of the flower in all directions - achieving the shape of a perfect circle. And we decorate the central part of the flower with a wad of black paper - and the flower resembles a disheveled poppy.
As you understand, the height of the petals depends on the length of the fringe. And the shape of the petals depends on the shape of the fringe.
Below (paper flower master class) we make anemones using exactly the same pompom technique. The difference is that we slightly changed the shape of the fringe - it’s not even a cut fringe at all, but just a beautiful curly petal edge of the napkin.
As a result, the fluffy flower no longer becomes a poppy - but a delicate paper anemone.
Is it absolutely possible? do not change the edge shape- that is, do not cut it or fringe it at all. Leave it flat, as it is on a napkin. Just lightly color it with a marker.
And using the same technique, we make a pompom flower with our own hands. They pinched it with wire, folded it in half, fluffed it up and got a carnation on a wire stem.
It remains to add elements from green paper - receptacle(wrap a jagged roll around the flower bowl), stalk(long green strip for wrapping the stem of the flower), leaves (long oval ones glued to the stem).
You can also make this pom-pom flower two-color with a center of a different color (see photo below). To do this, we need paper strips of two colors - one wide (yellow), and the second 2 times narrower (black).
We prepare the strips - first we cut a wide strip onto a double-sided fringe (or a patterned edge on both sides too), then we make patterned edges on both sides on a narrow strip.
To make a patterned petal edge– you need to fold the strip into an accordion (as fans were made in childhood) and make a rounding on both sides of this folded fan with scissors.
After unfold the strips and put a narrow black stripe to the middle of the wide yellow stripe. We fold them again like an accordion (this time two-color).
We tie it with twine or wire. And we unfold the sides of the fan in a circle - a flower is formed. If desired, the center of the flower can be decorated with crumpled paper or cut fringe, glued between the blades of the black center.
And here is a master class that shows how to make a paper pom-pom flower WITH A FRINGED stamen with your own hands (photo instructions below).
The principle of creating this flower from paper of two colors is the same as in the previous master class. Only here the middle strip is shredded on both sides into small fringes. This is another way to make large flowers using crepe paper.
Method No. 4
Paper flowers
Twisted on a ball.
Here's another way to create flowers from crimped crepe paper.
To make such flowers from paper you need wide short strips of crepe paper and balls of different sizes (lollipops, balls). We place the ball on the strip and hug the ball with the strip on both sides - we twist the tails and ends of the strip into a tight flagellum. Carefully remove the ball, trying not to crush the inflated petal template. We make several of these petals and collect them into a lush flower.
Using the same principle, rounded crocus petals are made from corrugated paper (photo below). Here you need a longer paper strip - it is placed on the ball with one half. The other half twists at the top of the ball and goes back behind the back of the ball and lies on top of its first half. The result is a rounded petal.
If you put these petals close to each other, you will get a cup of a closed crocus flower (as in the photo below). Excellent craft-flowers for March 8th for mom.
You can make a lot of bouquets from crepe corrugated paper. Including bouquets of sweets.
Method No. 5
FLOWERS made of paper
Using ORIGAMI technique.
And now we will talk about folding flowers from paper - without any cutting with scissors. That is, about the art of origami.
The first model is flowers with conical petals. They are so handsome. Each petal of such a flower is made from a simple square of paper. Using simple origami technique.
All the finished petals are glued to each other - and a beautiful rhinestone-stone is placed in the center of the gluing.
These craft flowers are very easy and quick to make yourself – and they look very elegant on gift wrapping. You can even decorate a Christmas tree with them.
As soon as you pick up a square of paper and look at the master class below, you will immediately make the same petal. It’s very simple – you start doing it and you understand everything along the way. And you’re surprised that they don’t teach this in kindergarten - it’s so simple and accessible to the common man. After module 10, when the entire pattern of the flower has already been absorbed into your subconscious, your hands already do everything almost blindly - automatically.
If you take a roll of plain wallpaper as paper and cut it into large squares, you can get large-sized flowers to decorate a room or decorate a home celebration.
And also due to the fact that these flowers have the shape of a CONE, it is convenient to collect them into one common large ball. And use it as a pendant. Or as a crown for a decorative tree (which is usually used to decorate weddings).
Here is a master class on a large water lily and paper folding techniques without cutting.
But here is an interesting method where the petal modules are made separately, and then each module is not glued, but simply inserted into the grooves of the adjacent module.
These handmade paper flowers can be an excellent craft for any occasion. You can now make paper flowers using different techniques and teach it to your children. You can use these ideas for holiday decorations or for activities in the Skillful Hands group. Such flowers are suitable as crafts for the Spring competition at school or kindergarten. Or these flowers can be a gift for mom on March 8th - a bouquet of paper flowers made by yourself.
Many simple ideas
for children's crafts on the theme of flowers you will find in our other articles:
Happy crafting!

Now I will tell you step by step about making a flower template (stencil) for cutting.
It seems like the Internet is at hand, but we need to cut out flowers for paper garlands or to design a wall newspaper, but the required template form is nowhere to be found.
This means that we will make a template (stencil) on our own. In addition, this lesson is exactly on my topic: development fine motor skills children's hands and eyes. Let's not miss such a wonderful opportunity.
A flower may have petals different quantities- Cruciferous plants have four, buttercups have six, and jasmine has eight. But the Rosaceae have five (or multiples of five), and the Rosaceae have authority. So we will make exactly the five-petal template.
This flower fits into a circle.
Oh! But we don’t have a compass at hand.
No problem - I’ll get the circle by circling the edge of my favorite rescue cup. We sculpted it, we gave the elephant tea from it, and now she is the sponsor of the flower circle.
But. But when working with a circle, we must start from the center. Where is he here? I put a point by eye and check whether all radii are equal. Oh yes I am! - almost ten.
I will draw the middle of the flower - a small circle and by eye I will divide the circle into five sectors. And without a protractor - again, by eye.
Now let’s check how accurate our eye is: we’ll make an angle out of paper and use it to check whether all five angles are equal.
So, if it doesn’t work out, we’ll correct it. Now let's add a petal to each sector.
This is a sketch, we just want to decide on the shape of the petals. Let's say it's teardrop-shaped. I bend the same corner of paper in half and draw half a petal.
I cut it out - here is a template for a separate petal.
I apply and trace. Now it is important to rotate the picture several times, carefully comparing the petals to make sure that everything is fine and there are no distortions. I made the drawing on paper.
And the template must be strong and rigid. Yeah, I'll have to cut it out and trace it onto cardboard.
Now I turn again and see if it’s level. Otherwise, with all these cuttings and tracings, errors inevitably arise.
Look, the student drew the flower well, but was in a hurry, carelessly cut it out, and the template turned out to have different petals. That's it - quality control is needed at every stage of work!
So, I double-checked my template and now it’s time to get to the flowers. Let's re-read it first and try to distribute the flowers sparingly across the sheet. On a standard A4 sheet I got it like this.
I highly recommend introducing your child to most interesting technology Kirigami. Thanks to it, you can get three-dimensional figures, you can simply admire them, or you can use them as a basis for a future postcard. I personally would be very pleased to receive such a postcard on March 8th. And all you need is nothing: paper, scissors, a template or your own imagination. The template could be like this:
The solid line is what needs to be cut with scissors, the dotted line is to bend the sheet outward, the dots are the folds inward.
Here are some more cool ideas:
Here's how to fold paper to get a flower (or one of the parts of a flower):
The simplest way would be to cut along the contour of a ready-made flower template.
The second most difficult thing will be cutting out the same ready-made version flower, but using a stationery knife to carefully separate the necessary internal parts of the design.
The technique of cutting out a flower with preliminary folding of the paper will also be quite interesting. That is, the technique of cutting out a flower will be similar to the technique of cutting out a snowflake.
Also, a three-dimensional flower can be obtained without cutting by correctly folding a simple strip of paper.
A three-dimensional flower can be obtained by cutting out a spiral and twisting it.
In addition, a three-dimensional flower can be obtained by folding the same strip of paper. Only now you first need to cut out a row of petals. Depending on the cutting technique, you will get different flowers.
You and your child can try making a carnation out of paper. Take colored paper of any color that you think is suitable for the carnation flower. Cut out three circles from it. These will be our petals.
Fold the circles in half twice.
Glue the resulting three petals together.
Add a stem.
You can use a stencil or template to draw beautiful flower. And cutting it out is already easy. It will be easier for a child to trace a stencil than to draw an even and beautiful flower himself. You can make an applique with your child by cutting out all parts of the flower from colored paper and gluing it onto cardboard. If a child does not know how to cut out very well, it is better to finish drawing small details (for example, stems, stamens) or omit them altogether, rather than worry about cutting them out.
Here are some flower templates to cut out:
You can cut strips from colored paper and stick them in the form of petals, as in this photo.
It’s very easy to make paper flowers with your child; all you need is sharp scissors with rounded tips and any paper sheet. In order for the leaves of our flower to be the same, we will have to fold the leaf in half and then cut it. Or there is another option - use ready template or make a stamp or impression on paper and then cut it out. These flowers are suitable for decorating a postcard.
If you want to make a flower arrangement, attach a stem to the flower; you can make it from a skewer, toothpick, or wire. The stem is attached to the flower using a hot gun or plasticine.
Eat different ways how to cut flowers from paper. You can cut out each flower one at a time from paper or make petals and glue them all together.
You can cut flowers out of paper together with your child. This fun and educational creativity to improve your skills will be useful. Depending on how old the child is, crafts with paper flowers can be more or less complex.
A cut out flower can be used for applique, to create a postcard, to decorate a gift, etc.
To cut out flowers, you may need templates and stencils. The materials you need are colored thick paper, glue, and scissors.
Let's make a paper flower with children from blanks. First, we cut out blanks with petals from paper, and then we fasten all the blanks together into a lush inflorescence.
We fasten the blanks together with glue, you can grab them with a stapler. In the middle we decorate the finished flower with a button.
Cut out a rose flower from paper. For such a rose you need a template. Transfer the template onto colored paper and cut it out in a spiral. Then we collect it into a bud. To prevent the bud from unwinding, we fix it with glue.
All stages are shown in the photo with the master class:
Each of the paper roses can be decorated on the inside with a bead. Roses can be used to decorate gift packaging.
Here are the templates for a paper rose:
Let's make a lush flower out of paper.
First we will make the blanks for the flower. We obtain each blank by folding a square of paper several times and cutting off the edge, rounding it into petals. We unfold the paper and get a blank. To make one flower, we fasten several pieces together using a stapler.
Paper makes beautiful large flowers to decorate for a holiday with your children. It's not difficult to make them with your own hands.
Simple applications with cut out flowers can be used for holiday crafts as a gift for your mother or grandmother.
There are several ways to cut flowers from paper. Here are the simplest ones that you can use for joint creativity with your child, and you can decorate some holiday with these flowers.
Method 1: draw a flower and cut it out
You can draw a flower on paper (or use a pre-prepared stencil), you can color the flower with your child and cut it out. If you use colored paper for this, you don’t have to paint the flowers. Cut out small yellow circles - the centers of flowers and leaves from green paper.
Method 2 - paper flower based on the snowflake principle
With this method, it is better to immediately use colored paper and use thin sheets more easily. First we fold the sheet in the same way as when cutting out snowflakes. You need to cut it so that you get flower petals. Here are some visual examples that you can use or you can come up with your own.
