Paper applique of flowers step by step

Let's try to make a floral composition on a sheet of cardboard. It will include several different flowers with petals and grass.

To make a symmetrical flower, you need to fold the paper sheet in two or more times and cut out the figure. On the reverse sheet will turn out exactly the same figure. Cut out so the bell:

The blue sheet of paper is folded in half.
On the bend is drawn half a bell flower.
The figure is cut out. It turns out a smooth bowl of flower.
Petals can add shape by cutting them as required.
The flower is cut along the midline between the petals.
Petals are placed on a sheet of cardboard, pulled apart and glued at some distance from each other.
Bowls of flowers can be decorated with circles or flowers and smaller.

To cut a buttercup, you need to do a little differently.

A square sheet is folded on the diagonal, then along the center line of the triangle, then again along the center line.
On the bend is drawn petal. It can take the form of any shape, to be smooth or pointed.
When unfolded we get a flower with eight petals.

Instead of a single solid flower can be obtained several separate petals of the same shape:

Paper is folded in an accordion.
At the petal is cut out.
The flower is folded in parts.
Between the petals glued heart.

For the integrity of the composition you need to cut out the grass. This can be done in several ways:

An oblong piece of paper is taken.
The sheet is torn into individual pieces in the form of grass, or just torn from the top.
To create a different kind of grass, it is cut into equal pieces, then each piece is folded over the top and glued to the background.
Another version of grass is cut with shaped teeth.
To create a bush, you can fold the sheet in half and cut out half of the bush, then open it up.

All cut out parts should be combined with each other on a sheet of cardboard. The floral composition can be considered complete.

Applications of flowers from fabric

Textiles are one of the best materials for creating applications with a child. Handicrafts made of fabric are unusual and memorable.

Let's make a bouquet of flowers out of fabric.

This handicraft can be done with children in the younger group of kindergarten.

For this simple craft you will need pieces of cotton fabric, green woolen thread, a bow, a sheet of cardboard, a pencil, scissors and glue:

Flower bowls are cut from the fabric.
On the cardboard are marked lines of stems for the bouquet.
Along the lines glued woolen threads.
Glued on top of the fabric blanks.
Glued at the bottom of the bow.

This applique "Flowers for Mom" made of fabric is complete.

To create an applique of flowers from felt, you will need templates of flowers, thread with a needle, glue, scissors and felt. Such a version of the craft can be offered to children in the middle group. There are several options for creating felt flowers:

The patterns are applied to the fabric and outlined, or pinned and the fabric trimmed at the edges.
Patterns can be overlapping, so that the flower turned out terry.
On the workpiece drawing a spiral, then make an incision along the line and twist. Depending on the type of spiral will produce different flowers.
Cut a few petals and string them up, then fasten.

Flowers of felt can be used in interior design, as a tip on clothing or to decorate weddings.

Volumetric applique flowers step by step

To create a volumetric applique of flowers, there are several possible techniques.

Cut out several petals of the same shape, two leaves, a heart and a stem.
Each petal is folded in half and glued to the cardboard by one side.
Between them glued heart and stem.
On both sides of the stem glued sheets to one side.

Simple volume applique is complete.

There are other options for creating volume on paper. Let's depict a flower growing out of the ground.

Several strips are cut from the paper. These will be the petals of the flower.
Grass, stem and leaves are cut from green paper. Yellow - the core.
Strips are twisted into the shape of petals and glued.
On the cardboard base is drawn ring of glue. Petals and heartwood are glued to it.
Grass, stem and leaves are glued to the bottom.

Dimensional paper flower ready.

Let's make a paper vase filled with fluffy flowers:

Using templates, the same flower bowls of different sizes are cut out.
The petals are bent upwards using a ruler. This will give the flowers volume.
The smaller flowers are placed inside the larger ones.
According to the template, a vase is cut out and glued to the cardboard.
Terry flowers are placed on top of the vase.

Application "Flowers in a vase" is ready.

Applications of flowers from other materials

Let's make a bouquet of zinnias from natural materials. You will need cones, poplar branches, leaves, cardboard, a sheet of paper, glue, scissors, paint:

The tops of the cones are cut with scissors.
Petals are painted red, the core is made yellow.
A smaller sheet of paper is glued to the base of cardboard to create a frame for the picture.
Poplar twigs are made into a vase.
Then glued a bouquet of leaves with a solid background.
Painted cones are glued on the leaves.

Application of cones is completed. You can admire the result.

Original ideas for applications of floral compositions

Let's perform a composition with snowdrops from colored paper. It will take some amount of effort and time. The result promises to be impressive.

To create an applique with realistic chrysanthemums, you take double-sided color, plain white and decorative corrugated colored paper, yellow and green felt-tip pens, scissors, and glue.

Thanks to the dense corrugated paper, the flowers will retain their shape better:

Strips are cut from decorative paper. The width of the strip depends on the length of the petals.
Strips are folded in several times.
Scissors make triangular cuts across the width of the strip. These will be the petals of the flower.
On the untouched length of the strip left a glue trail.
The strip is rolled up into a roll. On the finished roll glued a second strip.
Spread the paper petals. Thus a flower of chrysanthemum.
The heart of the flower can be painted inside a yellow felt-tip pen.
From decorative paper cut out a vase. Leaves are made of green. With colored felt-tip pens out veins on the petals.
The vase is glued to the background of the application. It can be made from paper with the edges cut off, glued to cardboard.
The bowls of flowers are turned over, the bases are notched, unfolded and smeared with glue.
Flowers are glued over the edges of the vase in three rows.
Leaves are slightly bent and glued at the base to different parts of the picture.

At this point, the original application with chrysanthemums is considered ready. Artificial flowers can be used separately - for example, to decorate a room or create artificial bouquets.

Let's try to create three-dimensional carnations from paper.

These flowers are often given to men for Victory Day.

To make the application, you should prepare corrugated paper, a plain sheet of colored paper, a sheet of cardboard for the background base, scissors, glue, felt-tip pens, water sprayer, stapler:

Four square pieces are cut from decorative corrugated paper.
The squares are stacked on top of each other and connected with a stapler.
A circle is cut out of the layered paper square. Slightly oblique incisions are made on the edges, going to the core. These are the petals of the future flower.
Petals are lifted, starting with the upper circle. It turns into a three-dimensional carnation.
Using marker pens on the petals are drawn thin color veins.
Paper sprinkled with water.
Flower is folded along the midline twice.
Stems are curled from the green paper, cut out leaves and sepals.
Glued to cardboard paper with shaped edges. This is the background for the application.
Glued to the base of the stems, each stem glued two sepals and two flowers.

The result is a realistic carnations, pleasing to the eye for their beauty. The picture can be decorated with additional details - for example, butterflies or ribbons.
