Video for inspiration and training

In the selection of videos offered below, needlewomen will share their experience and talk about several options for making paper tulips from different types paper.

Paper tulip: folding patterns

In order to understand the basic principles of how to fold a flower, you will need a diagram and a sheet of white paper.

First you need to make a sheet square shape, but you shouldn’t throw away the extra strip of paper. Then the resulting square should be bent twice diagonally, then the side edges should be folded inward so that the center of the square is the vertex of the triangle. Further bottom corners the triangle must be bent upward, i.e. towards the center.

Then the figure should be turned over and the lower corners of the other triangle should be folded in the same way. After this, the corners should be moved inward, i.e., the opposite corners should be folded.

The previously set aside strip of paper must be folded, this will form a stem, all that remains is to connect the flower with the stem and the work can be considered completed. Below we will illustrate the process of making a paper tulip step by step.

A bright bouquet of tulips made from colored paper looks beautiful. You can choose sheets of paper for work different colors and be sure to have a sheet of green paper to make the stems. Below you will find instructions that describe each stage of the work in detail.

Volumetric flowers made of corrugated paper

Volumetric tulips made of corrugated paper look festive. For work you will need: corrugated paper, as well as scissors, glue and wire. First of all, you need to make flower petals; to do this, cut a strip three centimeters wide and eighteen centimeters long from a sheet of paper. Then the resulting strip must be folded several times until the width is four centimeters.

Then you should mark the outline of the petal, then cut out the petals using scissors. Next, you need to give the petals a more natural shape, narrowing at the bottom and widening at the top. In order to form a bud, eight petals should be folded together.

In order to make a stem, you need to cut a strip of green paper and wrap it around a wire, and also cut a leaf from the strip. The leaf is attached to the stem with glue. The finished bud must be attached to the stem, and the flower is ready. To make a blossoming bud from paper yellow color you can make stamens and attach them inside the bud.

There is another origami technique for making a tulip flower. You need to cut several strips of paper four centimeters wide, then each strip needs to be twisted in the middle and folded in half. Next, each layer of paper must be stretched a little to make the flower voluminous; the base of the flower should be twisted.

To make stems, pieces of wire must be wrapped in green stripes. Then the petals need to be secured around the stem with glue. You can also glue the leaves and the flowers are ready.

International Women's Day, that is, the eighth of March, is traditionally associated with tulips. And indeed - what other representatives of the flora can be even more “beautiful spring” than these royal flowers?

Where to start making a paper tulip?

You probably remember from school how you made similar flowers from paper. The technique seemed simple and accessible to you, although some may not have been able to handle it. Today you can teach this to your child. And we will remind you how to make this simple, laconic, and at the same time beautiful craft.

Let your baby give his mother an armful of paper tulips - what could be sweeter to a mother’s heart?

How to make a tulip out of paper? Very simple! To do this, you don't even need to glue or stitch anything. And we will work in the Japanese minimalist origami technique - exactly the one that was taught to us from school in fine arts lessons.

True, at that time this name was not yet so widespread, and therefore ready-made craft simply called a paper tulip, or paper tulip.

Since the creation of such works was carried out back in school, you yourself understand that the level of complexity of this craft is almost zero. And it will be a great start for the development of artistic or sculpting skills in your child. The technique we have prepared is quite suitable for teaching four- and five year olds. So you can take it on board and “teach” it to your own child. So, how to make a paper tulip with your own hands?

Tools for paper tulips

Since the word “paper” appears in the name itself, it’s not difficult to guess what we will use to create origami. However, since the choice of colored paper and cardboard today is extremely large, we decided to give you some advice regarding correct selection suitable raw materials.

It is believed that truly high-quality paper must be thick. And this is true - few can argue with this. However, we strongly do not recommend that you purchase cardboard or anything like it for origami. It will be much more difficult for you to make a craft from this material, and even more so it will not be easy for your baby, who is encountering this for the first time. similar type work.

But you shouldn’t rush from one extreme to another either. The paper for your craft should not be too soft, thin or rough; newspaper inclusions should not be visible in the light. In a word, it is also not recommended to buy very cheap and low-quality paper like copier paper. Ideally, it should be moderately dense, uniform in structure, fairly smooth, but not entirely glossy.

The thinness of the paper can be easily checked with a marker - just draw one line on the front side of the sheet and look at it reverse side. The more contrast the print turns out, the thinner the paper you purchased. It will be easier to work with, but such raw materials have their undeniable disadvantages. At a minimum, it cannot properly fix the product, and therefore you will not be able to put your beloved child’s craft in a vase and enjoy it for a long time.

For a tulip flower you will need paper of two tones - actually, the color of the base (bud) and the color of the stem. Use your own discretion here and buy the shade that you like.

It is better not to take too bright, saturated, poisonous or acidic shades - this will make the flower unnatural. Although, those who prefer stylization prefer just such products.

You can make a tulip from white paper, but in this case the flower will be too simple. On the other hand, you can color it with your baby and develop his talent even more.

Origami is a technique that practically does not tolerate the presence of glue, this is its main “trick”. But when connecting the bud to the stem, you may still need glue. To make the fixation as strong, reliable and durable as possible, use appropriate adhesive materials - for example, the well-known “Moment”.

So, you will need:

A sheet of paper in A4 format (pink, red, blue, yellow, purple or any other color at your personal discretion);
A sheet of A4 paper (lettuce, pistachio, olive or grass green);
Glue (PVA, “Moment” or any other, according to your preference);
Scissors or stationery knife;
Pencil (for making a flower stem).

If you have already figured out the materials and tools, it’s time to start studying the diagram of how to make a tulip out of paper.

How to make an origami tulip?

This task is very simple, and even a child can cope with it. preschool age, of course, under your leadership, control and supervision. We just want to remind you that in addition to a creative impulse, you will need perseverance, patience, and, of course, accuracy.

The diagram of how to make a tulip from colored paper is extremely simple. However, you need not to deviate from the instructions and not engage in amateur activities - something, and the origami technique does not tolerate this at all.

So let's get started:

Take a sheet of paper of the color that is intended for your bud;
Turn one corner so that you get an isosceles triangle;
Cut the strip of paper that remains on the other side of the triangle with scissors or a stationery knife (there is no fundamental difference here);
Unfold the triangle and fold it in half again on the other side to form a cross of paper seams. Unfold the paper again;
Fold the folds inward along the longitudinal strips so that you get a mini-triangle with folds in the inner part;
Bend the bottom and top corners up to the top;
Rotate the model so that front side ended up on the work surface;
Perform the previous folding manipulations with the lower corners;
Bend the right corner so that you end up with a diamond with a middle fold. Turn the sheet over again to the other side and repeat;
Please note that the edges and corners should face up - watch this carefully;
Bend the right corner of the product towards the center and make sure that its corner extends slightly beyond the “core” of the product;
Fold the left corner overlapping - it must overlap the opposite one;
Turn the figure over to the other side and repeat the previous step in this position of the paper;
Tuck one corner into the other; again, repeat the manipulations with reverse side paper figurine;
Very carefully bend the resulting “petals”. Make sure that the resulting bud does not violate its integrity at this stage - otherwise all your efforts will go down the drain.

Having made the main part of the product, that is, in fact, the bud, almost all beginners ask themselves the question of how to make a stem and attach a flower to it to complete the work? Making the stems is very simple. But first you must turn the bud over and find a tiny hole at its bottom. It will help not only create communication with the stem, but also “bloom” your flower. To make the tulip more magnificent, simply blow into the perforated hole. Do this as carefully as possible, without effort.

In the manufacture of the rod, you can go the most in a simple way– simply wrap the pencil with green paper, then slightly flatten the tip of the simulated stem, making it moderately sharp, spread it with glue and insert it into the hole. But you can do something a little more complicated and prepare a stem with a leaf, made in a typical origami style. We recommend you the second option, since it will not bring disharmony to the overall visual perception of your product.

Hello everyone, hello!! How are you feeling?! Today I have something very fun and sublime, and such that I want to surprise and please the people close to me.

Try to lay the corners evenly on top of each other, and make the folds clear and sharp.

2. Fold the right corner so that it slightly crosses the center line. (Fig.2)

3. Now also, but on right side, bend left side. (Fig. 3) Bend the lower triangle back. (Fig.4)

4. To make a flower stem, take a green diamond. Bend it in half and unfold it. Fold the right and left sides towards the center line. (Fig.1)

5. Fold the workpiece in half again. (Fig.2) Bottom part fold it obliquely into left side. (Fig. 3) Glue the leg with the bud. (Fig. 4) Your tulip is ready!!

It is best to glue such work onto colored cardboard, making a composition of several flowers.

Well, since we are talking about the application, I will show you a couple of works in this topic.

Cut out 5 bud blanks and stick them on top of each other in the middle, bending the petals up.

Or put it in a frame, you get the whole picture.

7. Glue the finished tulips with their stems.

8. Make a stem with a leaf according to the model below:

This is what the finished piece looks like.

Now the most known variant making a tulip using the origami technique. We all did this as kids. I think that such a craft is very successful, because it is voluminous and looks like it’s alive.

Well, quickly pick up some colored paper and start folding it according to the instructions.

Manufacturing process:

Make a square from an A4 sheet.
Fold the piece in half once.
Now diagonally twice.
You should have a workpiece in such a way that the longitudinal folds go inward and meet each other.
The result is a triangular figure with folds inside.
Bend the corners of the top layer up.
Turn the shape over and repeat step #5.
Now the slices should meet in the middle.
Bend the right corner to make a rhombus with a crease in the center.
Turn the shape over, repeat step #6. All corners should look up.
Fold the right corner towards the center. And fold the left corner overlapping so that it completely covers the right corner. Turn the product over and repeat step #8. Tuck one corner into the other. Flip the shape over and repeat this step.

The most popular spring Flower- tulip. You can make tulips from crepe paper, from corrugated paper, make origami - such a craft will be very useful for Women's Day or birthday. We offer a simple lesson on how to make a tulip out of paper.

Paper tulips: master class

Paper crafts like a tulip can be classified as simple, but quite impressive. To work you will need a sheet of thick paper, scissors and a pencil. Now let's consider step by step instructions how to make tulips from paper:

1. For work, prepare a sheet of paper measuring 20x28cm. Choose the color at your discretion, preferably close to the real color of the tulip. There is only one requirement for paper - it must be strong enough.

2. Fold a triangle out of paper. The strip of paper that extends beyond the edges of the triangle should be cut off and set aside. We will use it a little later.

3. Now let's look at how to fold a paper tulip. First you need to unfold the triangle, then fold it again, but in the other direction. The result should be a square with diagonals.

4. To fold a paper tulip bud, fold the folds properly again. Flip the paper over so the center is facing up.

5. Fold the paper in half. We wrap one corner to the fold line. This creates a new triangle. We carry out this procedure with another angle.

6. Tulip and other similar paper crafts require constant contact with the material, the folds must be clearly visible. This is what you should end up with:

7. Connect the sides of the tulip and align them well.

8. Turn the triangle with its base up.

9. The wings of the paper on top must be folded so that they meet at the corners.

10. Turn it over to the other side and do the same.

11. Turn one wing of the paper to the right. On the other hand we duplicate.

12. Carefully insert the end of one wing into the other.

13. On the other side we do the same. We iron everything thoroughly. At this stage, the workpiece is already beginning to resemble the head of a tulip, only slightly flattened.

14. Now let's look at how to make a voluminous paper tulip from this blank. We hold on to the folded wings index finger and press down with a big one.

15. Now important point. There is a hole in the center of the paper, you should hit it sharply. Then the structure will be filled with air; you can also use a pencil.

Tulips are amazing spring flowers that bring a feeling of celebration and comfort to our homes. True, their splendor is fleeting - they quickly fade. Do you want to admire the beauty of flowers? all year round? Make paper tulips that will not only enliven the interior, but will also be an excellent addition to a gift for March 8 or a birthday.

How to make a paper tulip in origami style

First, decide on the color of the tulip - select the necessary colored paper, since it is difficult to paint the finished craft. In addition, you will need scissors.

Fold the sheet diagonally to form a triangle. Cut off any excess paper and set aside.

Unfold the triangle and bend it in the other direction, then straighten it - a square with the indicated rays comes out. Fold the paper in half, turn the corners towards the middle line, straighten the sheet - the intended bends clearly appear on it.

Connect the workpiece along the wrinkled lines so that you get two equilateral triangles. Turn the shape with the base up and fold the wings so that they meet at the corners, do the same on the other side.

Fold the wing to the right, duplicate it on the left, and insert the tip of one wing into the other. Repeat the procedure from the bottom side and smooth the base with your fingers - you get a pyramid.

Grab the wings with your index finger and thumb and spread the resulting pockets a little. Turn the workpiece over, you will see a hole in the middle of the bottom, blow into it - and the flower will take shape.

Twist each petal onto a pencil and the tulip will bloom. Fold a stem from the set aside piece of paper, insert it into the bud - the voluminous tulip is ready.

Make several multi-colored paper tulips, you can put them in a vase, attach them to summer hat or decorate a photo frame.
