Decorating the stage with flowers. How to make large flowers out of paper with your own hands to decorate the room. Corrugated paper tulips

How to beautifully and originally decorate a hall for a wedding, graduation, children's or other celebration? You can do this using paper flowers. Decorating a room with flowers like this is easy to do with your own hands.

Pros of paper flowers

This decor is an excellent alternative to, albeit beautiful, but familiar fresh flowers, balls and draperies.

Paper compositions do not fade or crumble.
Much cheaper than real bouquets bought at a flower shop.
There is no need to spend money on a florist; you can create decorations yourself.
The manufacturing process is simple, but interesting, you can involve children in it.
Easy to attach - just need pins, glue or tape.
It's easy to clean the room after the holiday.
You can make inflorescences of any size and type, including the most exotic and fantastic.

What paper is best to use

To create flowers, you can use a wide variety of paper and other materials. If you show your imagination, then the following will come into play:

cardboard,
colored,
white,
corrugated,
musical notation,
craft paper,
toilet paper rolls,
disposable tableware,
starched fabric (silk, organza).

It is good to make such decorations together with children. For example, for a holiday at school, students can not only do a large amount of work, but also enjoy it and realize their creative abilities.

Advice! Making flowers from paper is an interesting idea for a craft lesson in kindergarten or school, especially if you later decorate the class or group with crafts.

It is also useful for adults to engage in such creativity. Moreover, hand-made paper flowers for the hall will cost several times less than buying ready-made ones.

When choosing shades, you should keep in mind the general style of the room, the nature of the celebration, and the main color in the room.

Also for creativity you will need glue, tape, threads and a needle, wire, pins, tinsel, beads, ribbons and other additional decor.

How to position

Usually, the walls, curtains, and curtains are the first to be decorated. If there is a stage, then flowers are placed at the entrance and in the back. They are also attached along the ramp, simultaneously masking the equipment. You can place paper buds along the edges of the carpet.

The walls are decorated with voluminous or flat flowers of various shapes. You can create a composition from flowers of different sizes, leaves, ribbons, and add drapery. It is better, of course, to keep them in the same style or color scheme. Paper buds can resemble peonies, roses, daisies, poppies, or be of fantastic shapes. Sometimes large specimens have an island, and smaller ones are hung around. You can also cut out a flock of butterflies from paper of similar tones.

Above the festive table, with the help of flower arrangements, the places where the heroes of the occasion are sitting are highlighted. The photo shows how you can decorate the place of the bride and groom at the wedding table. For wedding decor, you can add paper butterflies or doves to the flowers.

Small flowers can be scattered on the floor. Garlands are used to decorate the ceiling and walls. You can decorate furniture with giant flowers or place them in the corners of the room.

The buds can be formed into letters and numbers, for example, to place them at the back of the stage. To do this, cut out bases of the desired shape from thick cardboard, and then glue flowers onto them. You can make them from colored paper napkins.

The ceiling is decorated with individual flowers or flower garlands. You can hang flowers on threads of different lengths. Such decorations look especially good under high ceilings. Suspended on thin threads or fishing lines, the inflorescences look floating and create a magical feeling. You can also hang them on ribbons. Such decor would be especially appropriate in a music or assembly hall.

Curtains or curtains can be decorated with flower arrangements, individual baskets or Hawaiian-type garlands. They also decorate a photo zone or screen background. At the same time, it is not necessary to fill the entire wall with flowers, although this is also possible - sometimes a few large ones and a scattering of small ones around are enough.

Ideas

Giant flowers

Large paper flowers made of paper for decorating the hall look impressive. To create them you will need:

paper,
glue,
pencil,
scissors.

You can use a glue gun or regular high-quality glue as glue.

First we draw the petals. They should not be round, but slightly oblong. You will need 9-10 petals: 4 large, 3 medium, 2-3 small. Next, cut them out and cut them. We glue the cut to make the petals three-dimensional.

Glue together the 4 largest petals. The edges need to be slightly bent, like a real flower. In the second row, we glue the petals of medium and small size into the center, and also bend their edges.

To create the center of the flower, take one small petal, cut it to the middle, fold it and glue it together. Glue the center into the flower cup. These flowers can be made in several different sizes and colors.

Dahlia

These large paper flowers can be made from many paper cones glued to each other. To do this, paper of different shades is cut into squares or rectangles, rolled and secured with glue. We glue the first (outer) row of cones to the cardboard base, and then gradually fill the middle of the bud.

Flowers with notes

If you use paper with a printed score instead of regular paper, you will get an original decoration for the hall for a musical celebration. The shape of the flowers can be the simplest.

From cupcake tins

The paper cupcake liners can be painted in different colors and the flowers are almost ready. Just add a bright center and green paper leaves.

Lily

To make giant white lilies to decorate the hall, you will need two plates - a large one and a smaller one. The large one will measure the diameter of the flower, and the small one will measure the size of the petals.

We draw a circle, outlining the large plate, and then draw the petals, outlining the small one. Cut out the workpiece. You need three such preparations:

from one we cut out two petals,
from the second - one,
We cut the third along the petal.

We roll and glue all three shapes and wrap the petals to get a flower that looks like a natural one. We glue the blanks together, inserting the smaller ones into the larger ones. Glue a round base to the bottom.

Daisies

Very simple, but in their own way cute flowers for decorating a room. To make daisies from paper for decoration, cut out the petals in the shape of a drop. You can either glue them together with sharp ends, or fold each petal in half, then unfold it and glue it like that.

The center of the chamomile is made separately. To do this, cut out a circle from paper of a contrasting color and cut it without reaching the middle. These “petals” need to be fluffed so that the core of the flower is voluminous. It is glued to the center of the daisy.

Corrugated paper

Corrugated paper produces voluminous and fluffy roses, peonies, carnations and exotic flowers.

You can make flowers using the same technology as pompoms - fold the paper into an accordion, tie it in the middle, and straighten it out. Pieces of paper or tinsel are glued into the middle.
Peonies do this: you need to cut out several circles of different shades of pink and different sizes. Some have waves cut out along the edges, others have teeth. Then the circles are stitched from largest to smallest to obtain a three-dimensional inflorescence. The flower is crushed to give it more volume.
Bright tropical flowers are made from paper in rich tones. To do this, the sheets are rolled into tubes, tied together and straightened.
Balloon flowers are made by folding several sheets of corrugated paper into a stack, then accordion-style. The accordion is tied with wire in the middle, the edges of the stack are rounded with scissors, and then the petals are straightened. The result is a flower-ball, similar to a dandelion.

Corrugated paper is especially suitable for creating flowers for hall decoration. Thanks to its structure, it is easy to fluff and can be used to make voluminous buds that look like natural ones. In addition, it is light and airy, making it easy to make delicate flower petals. Thicker paper does not create the same feeling of lightness; the flowers do not look as natural.

Made from craft paper

You can cut out a wide spiral from such paper, and then roll it into a rose of an unusual color.

From toilet paper tubes

A light and airy composition will be made from cut toilet paper rolls. To do this, they are cut into rings, folded, and then glued together with regular PVA, secured with clothespins. Ready-made flowers or individual rings can be painted. These flowers are easy to hang on the wall - all you need to do is drive in a few nails.

If you are preparing for a celebration, you need to start preparing decorations in advance. Firstly, you will not rush, and secondly, you will practice and get better at it. It is especially worth practicing if you want to make flowers using the origami technique or some complex model. It is better to start preparing for a serious celebration a couple of months in advance.

Make a sketch first. When you know what you want to get, it will be easier to choose paper and compose the entire composition.

Designers do not recommend making large letters and numbers yourself. As a rule, the result is far from ideal. If you can’t do without them, then letters made from paper flowers will look much better than ones simply cut out and painted.

Conclusion

Paper flowers for decorating a festive hall are often as beautiful as real ones. Such decorations are very original, and besides, inexpensive, because you can make them with your own hands.

Greetings, dear readers and visitors! I have already written several times that I really love decorating gifts in the most unexpected ways. And today I suggest you make paper flowers with your own hands. As many as twenty-odd methods, by the way.

Now, unfortunately, I rarely get around to mass gift wrapping. Moreover, every year there are more and more acquaintances and friends who need to be congratulated along with their relatives. This is very joyful! I love giving presents. But if I choose them very carefully, then lately I have packaged them in organza bags, since I only decide on detailed packaging for single holidays (like birthdays).

However, my passion for all kinds of packaging beauty is difficult to overcome, so today, together with you, I will practice making beautiful flowers using step-by-step schemes.

DIY paper flowers: simple and clever

There will be a lot of master classes, get ready. Good news for all rose lovers: there will be as many as 4 of them.

Aster

Guys, honestly, I'm not very good at naming colors. So if you see a discrepancy that is obvious to you, write in the comments.

So, first in line is the aster. For it, cut out five circles: two large, two medium and one very small. Fold each circle in half three times, then decorate the edge as in the 4th photo. After unfolding the structure, squeeze each petal to give it volume. Stack all the circles and decorate the middle.

Almost calendula

This flower looks much more like a packaging bow. Prepare a square of paper of the required length for it and cut the edges according to step 2. You will need several such blanks. Place them one on top of the other and squeeze them in the center, tightening them with wire or thread.

Now the most important thing is to straighten the petals so that you get a beautiful resemblance to a flower. Accordingly, the more layers, the more petals and the more magnificent the flower in the end.

Tip: make several of these flowers of different sizes and glue them on the packaging next to each other, then you will get a beautiful bouquet.

Calla

To create calla lilies, you can use either regular double-sided paper or foam rubber (I wrote about what it is in the section about the minion).

For calla lilies, take a stamen (you can crumple it out of paper or make it out of polymer clay) and a petal made in the shape of a heart. Place the stamen in the petal, fold the edges of the petal over the stamen, gluing them together. All that remains is to unscrew the edges to get maximum resemblance to a calla lily.

Such flowers are well suited for decorating postcards, packaging, and as an independent gift in the form of a bouquet.

Bell

The master class for the bell is very simple and straightforward. Cut the blank according to the first photo. Glue the edges together and carefully straighten the ends. To make everything look natural, make a center of several elongated stamens, which will need to be glued inside the flower.

By the way, these bells would be great to decorate packaging for March 8th or just a spring birthday.

Lilies of the valley

Well, or something similar. For one flower, take a long rectangle and bend its edge, as in the photo. Cut the wide part so that you get many small strips. Using scissors, twist the strips (to do this, you just need to run the sharp side of the scissors along these strips, lightly pressing the blade against them).

To prevent the flower from falling apart, take a rod and wrap a green stripe around it. Then start carefully twisting the “flower” part, previously coated with glue, on top. Apply the layers tightly so that the greenery does not show through.

But making green leaves is not at all difficult - for them, just fold a rectangle of green paper like an accordion and trim the edges into a triangle. When you unroll, you will get a lot of green leaves ready to be glued to the base.

Poppy

Now we use corrugated paper. Cut out about ten teardrop-shaped petals from it. Stretch the wide part so that the blanks resemble mushrooms.

Take a thin wire and wrap some paper around it - this will be the core. Wind the petals onto this core so that each one slightly overlaps the previous one. When everything is ready, the structure can be pulled together at the bottom so that it does not fall apart.

The master class shows how this flower can be attached to a holiday cap, but believe me, the poppy will look great on a gift box.

Red flower

What is its species? No associations came to mind. But that’s not the point - to create it you will need about ten petals (corrugated paper is used, by the way). Their shape is almost teardrop-shaped. but with a cut end.

Cut out a base circle from thick cardboard. Glue all the petals in layers to this circle, slightly crumpling (doubting? God, how right :_D) the bases, thus forming folds - then the flower will be more voluminous and “fluffy”. Decorate the center with some button or bead.

Such a flower, by the way, will look great made of soft felt - this way it will gain durability. And if you attach the base for the brooch at the back, you get two in one - a decoration for the gift and the gift itself.

Extravaganza of color

There are only two flowers, but the bright combinations create a very unusual effect. Take the crepe paper again, cut out a circle and fold it into a “doll” shape. Cut a “skirt” for it, which you wrap around the doll. Attach the petals on top, gluing them in a circle. Glue two wide leaves at the base.

The second flower is very simple - cut the fringe and twist it into several layers. The flowers are very simple, they can make a very interesting gift arrangement.

Unseen flower

To prepare the base for this flower, I advise you to look here - here the base for the second Christmas tree is created in exactly the same way. But then the differences begin - each of the corners needs to be wrapped using a thick wire or knitting needle so that it turns out to be a spiral.

You can leave this design alone, but I suggest you connect several (say, three) pieces using the existing spirals - the wow effect is guaranteed. Then you can also experiment - connecting elements with spirals into unprecedented designs.

Tip: Are you going to a Japanese-themed party? Then make such a very large flower and take it with you - it will serve as an excellent decoration for a chandelier.

Peony

“Pio-, pio-, peonies are given by a new acquaintance...” - words from the song of the underground group “My Michelle” (I’ve been listening to it often lately, inspired by it). We will make from corrugated paper. You will need five sizes of petals, approximately five copies of each (appearance as in the photo).

Stretch the petals so that you get something like a wave (for both large and small ones). Then form a stamen from the same corrugated paper by folding the paper and further compacting it. You can do this on a wire skewer, or you can do it without it.

Glue the petals onto the finished stamen, each one overlapping the previous one. Do not pull the petal too tightly. In the end, all that remains is to cut the green leaves and stick them around the peony.

4 in 1: dandelion, clove, aster, chamomile

All these wonderful creations of nature are made according to one principle - cutting the edge of a strip from which a flower will be made. The final shape of the flower depends on the cutting shape. Please note that some require a core and others do not.

Please note: despite the very simple design, the flowers turn out very realistic. If you have very little time to make, then this is an ideal option.

Experiment and discover your unprecedented plants - be sure to tell us what happens.

Paper roses

Magic roses are one of my favorite flowers

Rose with twisted edge

The main difficulty here is to carefully twist the edge of the corrugated paper, straightening out the folds. Then make sure that the folds are even. Now twist the strip so that the layers fit tightly together. At the end, secure with thread, trim off the excess.

Simple rose

Need to make a plant in five minutes? Then this rose is definitely for you! Just cut out a circle and draw a spiral in it. Cut out a spiral as in the photo and twist the rose, starting from the longest link of the spiral (the central part will serve as the base).

Big rose

Even gigantic, if you follow these exact dimensions. The heart petals are stretched and placed on top of each other in a circle, secured with glue. Green petals are attached at the end. Of course, the flower doesn’t have to be as big as in the photo – go with your preferences.

Twisted paper rose

Once upon a time I already described this method of creating a rose (here is the second one). The principle is absolutely the same, but the sizes of the triangles resulting from twisting must be the same along the entire length of the ribbon, otherwise the flower will not be very neat.

Once I even made a Rosemary doll, which took part in a city exhibition. Her whole body was covered with roses, made exactly according to this method (the roses were made from ribbons, however).

Clover

I'll just show you how to make the base for the four leaf clover. To do this, take a square of paper and fold it in half lengthwise and in half again. Fold the ends towards the center. Cut out a heart from the resulting design. The result will be exactly what we wanted - a happy flower.

Nameless

No matter how I tried, I couldn’t give a clear name. As a result, the product remained just a beautiful flower, reminiscent of kanzashi motifs (the Japanese art of making jewelry from satin ribbons).

The beginning here is the same as in clover. But after bending the edges, you will need to bend the ends so that the length of the bent part is equal to the length of the visible side in the middle. Then these parts are straightened out and their edges are folded so that the sides are even. They are folded again and glued together to form three stamens. There should be three such petals.

This flower is most suitable for decorating a gift in Japanese style.

And again the aster

This time you need to glue the petals along the edge until you reach the desired volume. Decorate the center as you wish or simply fill it with as many petals as possible.

With this, I declare the big flower review closed. I hope you have found exactly the option that will help you decorate your gift in the best possible way. See you soon, subscribe and share with your friends!

Sincerely, Anastasia Skoracheva

Personally decorating a hall for a celebration or the interior of your own apartment is becoming increasingly popular. Flowers are perhaps the most common decorative elements.

Thematically they are suitable for decorating practically any celebration. A variety of materials are used for their manufacture. The simplest and most accessible is paper. At the same time, paper flowers turn out to be very impressive and colorful.

Where to start decorating the hall?

Before you start creating a flower arrangement, you need to think about its location. This will determine its size and shape.

As a rule, the location for flowers is chosen walls, ceiling, podium. When decorating a wedding area, it would be appropriate to place them along the edges of an impromptu path or staircase. Small bouquets placed on guest tables or curtains look very cute.

Material for making flowers

As a basis To make a bright, voluminous flower you will need paper. Depending on the type of flower, it can be glossy or corrugated. To connect the parts, glue, threads, metal staples for a stapler, and tape are used.

To highlight some details you can use acrylic paints, satin ribbons, decorative beads. Having collected everything you need for creativity, you can begin the process of creating flowers.

Basic techniques for modeling a flower

The simplest design that can be created from paper is is a ball. It can be easily attached to any smooth surface. In addition, experimenting with the color and thickness of paper, you can create very unusual compositions.

It is created very simply. Several sheets of corrugated paper must be folded into an accordion. Secure the middle with wire or thread. Give the shape of a ball using scissors. The final stage will be straightening the ribs of the structure.

The size, color scheme and texture of the ball will depend only on your imagination and the quality of the paper. The thinner it is, the more elegant the finished product will be.

Flowers look more complex from craft paper. Thanks to their durable texture, they are very dense and hold their shape well. To make them, you need to cut out a spiral using scissors with a figured nozzle.

What flowers are made from paper?

If desired, you can cut it out of paper practically any kind of flower or plant. The most common ones are roses, peonies, and snowdrops.

In order to make peonies, you will need paper no smaller than A4. It is important that it is colored on both sides. This condition is necessary for the flower to be realistic. The sheet will need to be folded into an accordion.

In the middle, you should tighten the accordion with nylon thread. The formed accordions must be positioned perpendicular to each other. The more accordions, the more magnificent the bud will be in the end.

You can add volume, spreading the petals. You can complement the flower arrangement with such cute plants as daffodils. They also look great as individual decorative elements. To make them you will need to cut out a small square of paper measuring 15 by 15 cm.

The resulting figure must be bent at 45 degrees. the resulting accordion should be leveled. Use glue to connect the sides of the folds. In total you need to make 4 accordions.

You can add originality to the daffodil with the help of multi-colored petals. The flower head should be formed from the stem. It will act as a fixing base. Stamens can be made from beads.

How to make a garland?

The most common form of volumetric decor is a garland . It is universal and suitable for decoration almost any celebration area - ceiling, walls, arch. To make it you will need the following parts: fishing line, paper and decorative elements such as beads and sparkles. The auxiliary materials you will need are cardboard and glue.

At the preparation stage also you should make a stencil. It can be cut out of cardboard. After which you can start preparing the petals. They must be strictly the same shape and size. After which they can be placed on the fishing line. This must be done strictly in the middle of the elements.

For ease of placement, loops should be formed at the end of the fishing line. You can add to the garland based on your own imagination. Thus, making paper flowers is not difficult at all. The main thing is desire, patience and creative thinking.

Decorating interiors in a floral style is gaining popularity: giant peonies, roses, sunflowers, poppies are used to decorate wedding celebrations and theme parties, romantic photo shoots and create unusual storefront designs. Even for hats and suits, you can make large flowers with your own hands - it’s no more difficult than assembling a small bouquet or.

Let's talk about materials

When it comes to life-size flowers, you may not immediately believe that this beauty is created from paper. But the corrugated one has unusual properties - in the article on making small flowers we looked at them in detail. Let us remind you that for tall giants, crepe paper with a density of at least 120 g with A and B flute (folds 1.6 and 3.2 mm deep) is most suitable - this will allow the petals to keep their shape.

But! Not all life-size flowers are made from thick corrugated paper. There are models whose petals should bend, curl or fall freely. For these colors, thin paper is used.

To make large flowers, also prepare auxiliary materials and tools:

thick cardboard for the base;
scissors or knife for cutting blanks;
heat gun - large petals are easier to connect with hot glue;
wire for the stem frame;
round nose pliers for bending wire;
fabric, thread, cotton wool for filling the base or for combining materials;
foam balls or plastic containers as a base.

You will also need: imagination, good mood and a little magic...

Basic techniques and secrets of creating life-size flowers from corrugated paper

The entire decorative effect of the finished product depends on the beauty of the flower head. The process of its formation is similar to making flowers from isolon, but adjusted for the properties of the material. Let's learn how to create big ones!

Accordion method

This funny hat can be made with children - the flower is assembled according to the accordion principle.

We will need several sheets of thin corrugated paper 20–25 cm wide. The length and quantity depend on the desired splendor of the finished flower. Before starting work, the sheets must be placed one on top of the other and the edges aligned.

Stages of work:

Fold the sheets like an accordion and use scissors to give the edges a semicircular shape.
Mark the middle of the prepared strip and tie it with thread or clamp it with floral wire, forming a loop for subsequent assembly.
Disassemble the accordion, smoothing the edges.

Lift the layers one by one, straightening each sheet.
When all the layers are separated, the flower is ready.
You can make several flowers and connect them through prepared loops.

The hanging balls from the previous photo were created using this principle. To create such colors, you can combine paper of several colors.

The difference with this design is that the inner part of the flower is cut with fringe separately, and then both parts are combined into a single flower.

And here are more flowers made using the same technique.

Detailed method

You will use this method if you decide to collect giant flowers from corrugated paper with your own hands. To do this, you need to cut out individual petals and leaves using templates. Patterns for large flowers differ from small ones only in size, so you can use the ones we offered in the article.

Since you will need a lot of blanks, it is better to make patterns from thick cardboard or pressboard - this way they will last longer. You can cut the petals with scissors or a stationery knife.

Tip: unroll the roll, fold it several times and then cut it out - you will get several blanks at once.

Next begins the most creative stage in creating a flower - giving shape to the petals. Smooth curves and detailed edge work are achieved by straightening the folds with your hands, stretching the workpiece using a metal ruler or the blunt edge of scissors.

First, use a pencil or stick to curl the edges of the petal, pressing firmly to secure the bend.

The volume is created by straightening the corrugations: slightly stretch them in the upper part of the petal and almost completely straighten the middle.

Finally, you can use the same technique to add wavy edges.

Important! When applying the template to the sheet, you need to make sure that the folds go along the petal - then it can be formed correctly.

This type of MK describes in detail the process of making peony petals:

If you are just learning how to collect large flowers from paper with your own hands, many of the nuances may seem incomprehensible. Let's look at them with an example.

This chrysanthemum is assembled from separate parts, mounted on a branch and placed in a stand made of a flower pot. We'll talk about these assembly details a little later.

For the flower head we will need:

corrugated paper;
cardboard circle with a diameter of 30 cm;
glue gun

Cut out the blanks of petals and leaves according to the pattern, process the edges and give them shape.

You will need at least 30 petals of each size, 6 blanks 20 cm high for the sepals and as many leaves as your imagination and the length of the stem dictate.

Assembly is carried out on a cardboard circle. Let's look at the nuances that make the flower look realistic:

The petals should be directed strictly to the center, thanks to this we will maintain the symmetry of the flower.
Filling is carried out in circles, with each subsequent layer shifted towards the center by 1.5 - 2.5 cm. This will ensure a smooth decrease in the diameters of the petals, without the formation of voids. Approximately three rows should be obtained from each type of part. If necessary, you should add these or other blanks.
The closer to the center, the more the petals should be bent upward, and the smallest ones are bent almost vertically before gluing, thereby filling the middle. This principle is laid down by nature - the petals open from the bud.

After the front part of the flower head is ready, we glue a piece of cardboard tube to the back side, the diameter of which is suitable for the future mount.

The reverse side is decorated with six sepals. They should be glued in a spiral, overlapping the next one, to cover the entire surface of the cardboard base.

Belt method

Flowers made in this way differ little from the previous ones. The whole peculiarity is that the petals are not cut out separately, but are formed on the tape: the profile of the petal is formed in the upper part of the paper strip, and the lower part remains uncut.

Peony made using this technique:

And another fancy flower, reminiscent of a dahlia:

Leaves and stem

If you make life-size flowers with your own hands, you will definitely need a stem and leaves. To realistically reproduce the structure of a leaf, make veins and create a relief:

lay a wire in the middle of the sheet,
position the corrugations towards the top of the leaf,
reproduce the wavy edge.

Watch the video for making leaves for growing flowers:

The next element of a growth flower is the stem. Depending on the purpose, the stem can be made to hold the flower in the hands or as a stand.

In these colors, the stem can be made from a cardboard tube, for example, from foil or cling film, or you can cut a piece of plastic pipe. This leg is multifunctional - such a flower can be placed freely on a stand made of metal rods.

To create spectacular photo zones, a flower on a stem, as in this photo, would be an excellent option:

The stem is made of a wire frame. The secret of its stability is in a plastic cup filled with cement mortar.

Advice. A plastic cup can be replaced with a small flower pot, and cement mortar can be replaced with any building mixture: gypsum, alabaster and the like.

The resulting stand should be wrapped in thick paper, then decorated with green corrugated paper. Using any technology convenient for you, make leaves and screw them to the trunk using wire.

A metal-plastic tube or even a real branch can also serve as a stem - for beauty they need to be decorated with green tape.

The metal-plastic tube securely holds the flower
and looks great in the interior

Stand

Guests of the holiday will be very surprised when they find out that you made life-size flowers from corrugated paper with your own hands. And to decorate everything, you will need a stand. It can be metal, wood or a weighted flower pot.

It is especially important to make a stable stand if you plan to install not just one flower, but a whole branch or a giant bouquet.

For options for making stands for full-sized flowers, see the video:

Important! Take care of stable stands when decorating wedding ceremonies. Flat supports are perfectly camouflaged under a layer of artificial grass.

Compositions of large flowers on the wall

If you do not need a separate flower for a photo shoot, but a whole photo zone, you need to decorate the wall. There is no need for permanent fastening, since the flowers gather dust over time, may accidentally tear, or simply get boring, so you should use simple options:

Double-sided tape - tapes or ready-made mugs are sold. This method is not suitable for a wall in a room, since marks remain on the surface. The solution is to use a portable smooth plastic surface as a base and lean it against the wall, supporting it so that it does not fall.
Hooks – ready-made ones with Velcro are available for sale, but you can attach homemade wire hooks to the back surface with hot glue.
Velcro – ordinary sewing Velcro is used, which is attached to the surface with a construction gun, and to the back of the flower with hot glue. Adhesive-based Velcro is also sold, which is also better reinforced for reliability.

What all these methods have in common is that you need a special surface to mount flowers.

But to create an original design, it is not at all necessary to hang the decor on the wall. You can tie a ribbon on a couple of hooks, to which you can attach flowers and threads with petals, as in this photo:

Or string strings under the ceiling to which you attach the decor, creating a magical atmosphere.

Video with visual examples of attaching paper flowers:

However, large corrugated paper flowers can be used not only for photo zones. They can serve as an amazing costume for a theater production or theme party.

To create these costumes, the designer combined paper with fabric.

Nothing is impossible for limitless imagination! You can even make a chandelier from corrugated paper. The only condition is that there are no problems with the electrical wiring and that the lamps do not come into contact with the flowers.

And this charming cabbage made of corrugated paper will be an excellent setting for a children's photo shoot. It is made according to the principle of flat flowers - on a cardboard base. To make the baby comfortable, there is a pillow in the middle.

There are a lot of ideas for using giant corrugated paper flowers - fantasize, create beauty and delight yourself and those around you with your creativity!

Making flowers with your own hands

Which paper is best?

To create incredible compositions, you will have to use the most interesting materials and papers.

If your imagination is well developed, then you will understand that you can use materials such as:

Colored paper.
White paper.
Cardboard.
Corrugated paper.
Music paper.
Disposable tableware.
Craft paper.
Cardboard toilet paper rolls.
Starched fabric (such as organza or silk).

Even children will enjoy creating voluminous paper flowers to decorate the hall; for example, school students can not only make decorations, but also get great pleasure and realize their talents.

Advice! Making paper flowers is a great idea for craft lessons at school or kindergarten, especially if you decorate a classroom or group with these crafts.

But adults will be no less interested in being creative. In addition, such flowers will cost less than real or even store-bought paper products. When choosing shades, pay attention to the style of your room, what kind of celebration there will be, and what color is the main one. For creativity, you can also use tinsel, pins, tape, a needle and thread, beads, ribbons and more as auxiliary elements.

Location of finished products

As a rule, the first thing to decorate is the curtain, walls and curtains. If you plan to decorate the stage, then flowers should be placed in the back and at the entrance. They can also be placed along the ramp, thereby camouflaging the equipment. Beautiful paper buds can be placed along the edge of the carpet.

Decorate the walls with flat or three-dimensional flowers of any shape and size. If you like the activity, you can create a whole composition from flowers of different sizes, ribbons, leaves and even drapery. Of course, ideally everything should be in the same style. Paper buds can resemble roses, peonies, daisies, poppies or other flowers of incredible shapes. Sometimes they do the following - large flowers are placed as an island, and then small flowers. You can also cut out a lot of butterflies and hang them on the curtain.

Decorating the hall with paper flowers with your own hands- this is responsible, and when decorating the hall, you can decorate the places where the heroes of the occasion will sit. In the photo you will see how you can decorate the seats of the bride and groom near the wedding table. For decoration, you can add doves or paper butterflies.

You can also make a number of small flowers that can be scattered on the floor. Use a flower garland to decorate furniture or corners of the room. It is easy to make numbers and letters from ready-made buds and you can place them near the backdrop of the stage. Decorate the ceiling with other flowers or garlands, and you can also do the following - flowers on threads so that they hang beautifully from the ceiling. Such inflorescences will literally “float” and create beauty. They can also be hung on ribbons. The decor in an assembly or music hall would be appropriate.

Curtains or a curtain can be decorated with a flower arrangement, baskets or Hawaiian garlands. You should also definitely decorate the photo zone, but you don’t need to decorate the entire wall at all – a beautiful scattering will be enough.

Big flowers

Large paper flowers for decorating a room look impressive.

To make them you will need:

Glue.
Paper.
Scissors.
Pencil.

Typically, regular glue or a glue gun can be used as glue. To begin, draw petals on paper; they should be slightly oblong in shape, not round. There should be 10 of them - 4 large, 3 medium and 2-3 small. Then we cut it out and make an incision. Glue the cut so that you get beautiful voluminous flowers.

Glue 4 large elements together and bend the edges a little to make it look like a real flower. Glue petals of medium and then small sizes onto the second row, and also bend the edges. To make a beautiful center, cut one small petal, roll it up and glue it together. You can make several of these colors.

Dahlias

Such beautiful flowers can be made from paper blanks in the form of paper cones, which are glued to each other. To do this, take paper of different colors, cut it into rectangles or squares, roll it up, and then secure it with glue. The outer row should be glued onto a cardboard base, and then fill everything to the middle.

Music paper flowers

If you take an unnecessary score and make flowers from it, you will get a very beautiful decoration for the assembly hall at a music school. Moreover, even the simplest flower shape will look very beautiful thanks to the paper.

Incredible flowers from cupcake tins

Paper cupcake liners can be painted in different colors and the flowers can be considered almost ready. Just add a bright center inside and make beautiful leaves out of green paper.

Lilies

To create an airy composition for decorating the hall with paper flowers, make beautiful lilies. You will need 2 plates - a large one and a slightly smaller one. The large one is needed to measure the diameter of the flower, and the small one for making petals. Trace the large plate - you will get a circle, and then draw the petals using a smaller plate. Cut out the blank, and you should have 3 of them - you need to cut two petals from one, only one from the second, and cut the third one petal at a time.

Roll and glue all the shapes and wrap the petals to create a flower that looks almost like the real thing. Glue everything together, while inserting smaller copies into larger ones. Glue the round base to the bottom.

Daisies

These are simple, but such cute flowers for decorating a room. To make paper daisies, cut out drop-shaped petals. Then you can glue them together with sharp ends, or fold each petal in half, and then unfold it and glue it together.

Let's take a separate look at the middle of the chamomile. To do this, take paper of a contrasting shade and make circles, cut them, but do not reach the middle. Then fluff these “petals” so that the core is voluminous, and glue it to the center of each flower.

Corrugated paper flowers

Flowers made from corrugated paper for decorating the hall are fluffy, voluminous and beautiful, especially carnations, roses, peonies and exotic flowers.

You can make flowers using the same technology as pompoms - take paper, fold it into an accordion, tie it in the middle and straighten it out. After this, glue pieces of paper/tinsel into the middle.
Peonies are also easy to make: make several circles of different shades of pink and different sizes. Cut out waves along the edges and teeth in other circles. Afterwards, the circles need to be sewn from larger to smaller to create a voluminous flower. To create additional volume, remember the finished product.
If you want to make tropical and bright flowers, use paper in rich colors. To do this, roll the sheets into a tube, tie them together and straighten them.
Globular flowers do this - fold several sheets into a stack, and then like an accordion. Tie the accordion with wire in the middle, round the edges of the stack with scissors, and then straighten the petals. You will get a ball flower that looks like a dandelion.

This type of paper, like no other, is perfect for creating unique compositions for decoration. Thanks to the unique structure, the flowers are easy to fluff, making voluminous natural buds, and it is also airy and light. It will be difficult to achieve the same effect with thicker paper, and the flowers will not look natural.

Craft paper flowers

To create such flowers, cut out a spiral that is large in width, and then roll roses of different sizes from it.

Flowers made from toilet paper rolls

By using toilet paper rolls you can make an airy composition. To do this, we cut the cardboard into rings, fold it, and then glue it with standard PVA glue. To secure it when drying, fasten everything with clothespins. Color individual rings or finished flowers. They will be easy to hang on the wall - just drive in a couple of nails.

If you decide to prepare for a celebration and you like the method of creating paper flowers to decorate the hall, then try to do everything in advance. This way you won’t be in a rush and will be able to get used to making beautiful flowers. Yes, it is worth paying special attention to practice, especially if you want to make origami flowers or other complex models. It is better to prepare for a serious celebration several months in advance.

Make sketches. This way you will know exactly what you want, and it will be much easier to select papers and create an overall composition. Designers do not recommend making large letters and numbers yourself. Usually the result of such creativity leaves much to be desired.

Conclusion

Often, paper flowers for decorating a room are no worse than real ones. Such decorations are original, they can be used many times and are inexpensive, since everything can be done with your own hands.
