And also from a napkin you can roll a rosebud. Paper inflorescences are used to create topiaries - trees of happiness or make applications on greeting cards.

Flower for serving

You need to take one red napkin and open it completely. At one edge of the square wrap about 1.5 - 2 centimeters and roll horizontally. Then at the top (more dense part), 3 centimeters off the edge of the fingers pinch, indicating the size of the bud. At this point, twist the napkin, forming a flower. Roll the rest of it in a flagellum, leaving the tip for a leaf of a paper plant. Do not get upset if it is not very successful at first. By practicing twisting roses, you can achieve magnificent results in the form of a filigree mini-sculpture of a rose.

Rosebud

Rosebuds from napkins are also made very simply and quickly.

For the work take:

• napkins of pink color;
• PVA glue.

The process of creation:

1. Unwrap the napkin in the form of a thin square and turn it rhombic, with the sharp side facing you.

A simple fluffy flower

In addition to roses from napkins create wonderful fluffy flowers, similar to asters or dandelions. You can see how to make a dandelion above. A simple flower is made in a similar way. First, fold the folded napkin (as it was in the package) in four times to make a square. Then staple it in the middle and cut it into a circle shape. Then layer by layer lift all the "petals", creating a fluffy flower bud.

Large inflorescence

Large flowers are made the same way, but use several napkins (the more, the more fluffy the inflorescence) in their packing size (that is a factory roll in 4 times).

The napkins are stacked, or simply neatly take 1/3 out of the package and staple them together in the center. Use a plate or a circle to draw a circle on the workpiece and cut along the contour with scissors.

Flowers can be given different shapes by making different edges (round, zigzag, hearts, petals). Then lift up the paper layers and fluff up the products.

Another method of creating a flower is tying the circles in the middle with a thread and also the subsequent blooming of the "petals".

Beautiful large paper flowers are used to decorate the photo area or hall for the celebration of an event.

Topiary

The most famous and very popular craft from napkins is a tree of happiness.

What to take to create a topiary:

• A package of red (or pink) paper napkins;
• Floristic ball of styrofoam or sponge (if you do not have them on hand, the ball is made by your own hands from improvised means).
• PVA;
• scissors;
• pot;
• plaster;
• A thick twig from a tree or kitchen skewers;
• stapler;
• Decoration in the form of beads, rhinestones, small butterflies (for scrapbooking, etc.).

Description of creating a craft:

1. Start with "rough" work. Knead in a separate container with gloves to harden gypsum mortar from dry gypsum powder and water.
2. Gypsum sets quickly, so you need to do everything quickly, too.
3. After the mixture is poured into the flower pot, it is necessary to install the trunk of the topiary from several skewers, wrapped with special tape for floral design. Or insert into the plaster a pre-prepared strong dry branch from a tree of the right length.
4. When the stick is immersed in the mortar, it must be kept straight until the mortar "seizes" (literally 5-10 minutes).
5. Then you need to put a ball on the trunk of the future tree. If there is no ready-made, the ball can be made from old newspapers or any other paper. To do this, they are kneaded in hands and gathered into a paper "snowball". The resulting big ball is wrapped in threads for strength. Try to make it as round and flat as possible. For a more even surface, newspaper pieces are pasted over, but in this case everything should be prepared in advance.
6. Then comes the most pleasant stage of the work. Filling with flowers: These are also made before. Roses or fluffy flowers (see above) are used for filling. There should be no ugly gaps between the inflorescences, revealing a view of the surface of the balloon. If desired, insert green paper leaves of corrugated material between them.
7. When all the buds are glued (you can make them different in color and size), the topiary is decorated with shiny beads, small decorative elements (birds, butterflies, etc.).

Topiaries look incredibly delicate and perfectly decorate the house.
