How to make floral bouquets of corrugated paper

In order to make a bouquet of tulips, several corrugated paper sheets are needed, it is desirable that the paper has bright colors, for example, yellow, red, orange and necessarily green for making leaves and stems, and also wire.

First of all, you need to cut off as many lines along the lines as the number of colors you plan to make. The width of each strip should be equal to three centimeters, and the length - eighteen. Then each strip should be twisted two times in the middle, then bend in half. After this, it is necessary to stretch the edges so that the bud turns out to be bulky, the remaining paper must be twisted and form the base. Next, you need to cut across the lines corresponding to the number of buds the number of strips of a sheet of green paper, about two centimeters wide and glue a two-layer wire in a length of about twenty centimeters. Then we need to connect the bud with the stem and wrap the joint with a green strip, greasing it with glue. The scheme of folding a bouquet is shown in the photo.

In order to make flowers called crocus, it is necessary to follow the scheme of folding the tulip buds, only the strips should be two and a half centimeters wide, and about 13 centimeters long. For the formation of stems, a wire of about eight centimeters long and green stripes will be required. When assembling the flower, you first need to attach a core of orange to the wire, then the petals.

How to make a cake from corrugated paper

The master class proposed below will help you understand how to make a colorful cake made from corrugated paper yourself.

First you need to prepare the basis for the future cake, for this you can use a ready-made cardboard box or cut out the base of a round form of cardboard. To do this, cut out of the cardboard two circles, one with a diameter of ten centimeters, the other - eleven and a half. To make the lateral edges, it is necessary to cut out a strip of cardboard about sixty three centimeters in length, and a height of about ten centimeters. Then the side part should be glued to the base.

After that, cut a strip of paper with a width of fifteen centimeters, bend it in half and cut it. The two resulting rectangles must be bent to make a line in the middle. Next, put one spoke on the edges of one of the rectangles and wrap each paper, then the paper wrapped on the knitting needles must be squeezed and then removed from the spokes. Similarly, you need to make the number of tubes that will be necessary to glue the sides of the cake around. Also from the sheets of white paper, you can make jewelry in the form of poluovals and circles. To decorate the cake with roses, it is necessary to wind the paper onto a single knitting needle, then squeeze the paper and flatten the resulting tube, glue it and roll it with a spiral. You can also make a lily. On most of the cake you need to glue a smaller one and decorate it too.
