Master class on paper-plastic: we make flowers with the example of crocus and rose

Paper-based plastic is a technique based on such qualities of paper as plasticity and the ability to "remember" and retain the shape. In papermoplastics there are many techniques with which you can create the most unimaginable and spectacular crafts and decorations for your interior.

Examples of the basic techniques in the paper-plastic

• Application( gluing the cut-out parts on the base sheet).
• Paper mosaic( filling the contour on the base sheet).
• The application is volumetric( filling the contour with crumpled sheets or pieces of paper).
• Stitching( gluing of twisted paper on the drawing).
• Papier-mache( making a craft from the mass obtained by mixing paper with an adhesive).
• Origami( addition of figures from a square sheet without the use of scissors and glue).
• Kusudama( the whole figure is assembled from separate repetitive parts).
• Kirigami( the figure is obtained by bending, cutting, cutting).
• Quilling( composing compositions from twisted strips of paper).

If you are carried away by this kind of needlework, like paper-plastic, the master class on colors will be very useful.

We will make crocuses, a bouquet of which can refresh any interior and give a spring note to your room at any time of the year.

Required materials

We will need: glue, a piece of fine wire, scissors, 3 strips of corrugated paper( green, purple and pale yellow), wooden skewers for canopy, toothpicks.

Making a flower

1) We cut rectangles of 8 by 4 cm from purple paper. Fold them with an accordion and cut out the petals.

2) Thus, we get 6 petals. With a toothpick or skewer, twist the edges of each of them a little.

3) We cut out small rectangles from yellow paper and cut them into strips without cutting them to the end.

4) Each strip is tightly twisted and fixed with glue.

5) Twist the base of the strip and dipped in the glue. We get such stamens.

6) For the resulting part, we superimpose all 6 violet petals in sequence.

7) Now insert the skewer and tie the wires with petals at the base.

Making the stalk

1) We cut a piece of green paper into long strips and tightly wrap them on a toothpick.

2) We cut out oblong leaves from the rest of the paper.

3) The edges of the leaves slightly bend with the same toothpick.

4) Finished leaves are glued on the stem, the amount you choose on your own.

In the same way we produce other crocuses. Next, we collect them in any composition you like. You can collect here such a sweet bouquet.

For children's creativity

Paper agglomeration is not just a hobby, it's also a great way to develop your child's imagination.

There are also more simple options for making flowers from paper, which are perfect for children. Here is one such example - a rose with a leaf.

Sheet making

1) First we make a leaf for our craft. To do this, from the colored green paper( we use a two-sided paper), we cut out the square with a size of 7 by 7 cm.

2) Fold the workpiece diagonally.

3) Now our resulting triangle must be folded with an accordion.

4) The skladochki should be equal and be about 0.5 centimeters.

5) Adding our triangle to the end, we get this kind of workpiece.

6) Lay out the part and get a corrugated triangle.

7) Cut the excess paper in a semicircle.

8) We unfold the sheet and bend the letter V along the folds, in turn to ourselves and from ourselves.

9) Again, unfold our leaf and stretch it to the sides of the edge.

Making a flower

1) Take the red square of a double-sided paper 5 by 5 cm in size.

2) We start to cut it in a spiral, without cutting corners.

3) We get this kind of workpiece. The width of one turn is about 0.7 cm.

4) Now take the toothpick and wind the spiral on it, starting from the edge to the middle.

5) When the entire spiral is wound, carefully remove the resulting tube.

6) Using glue, fix the resulting flower.

7) Now we need a little yellow paper. From it we will make stamens. To do this, cut the paper into very thin strips.

8) Gently hold each strip with scissors and get these ringlets.

9) We paste the received ornaments in the center of a flower.

So our rose is ready. From these flowers you can create a whole panel using paper of different shades.

What else can I make?

With the help of the technique of paper-plastic it is possible to create not only flowers, but also other stunning crafts. These can be birds, dragons, boats, garlands and other ornaments. You can easily surprise your family and friends with such toys, you only need to have detailed schemes for their manufacture.

If you are interested in this type of needlework, then you will certainly help videos that detail the master class for beginners.

If, however, paper-plastic for you has become a habitual activity, then, for sure, you will be interested in these videos with real masterpieces of art.
