LITTLE ROSES

Send

The beauty of a rose can be admired forever. In the garden, this plant blooms for only three months, and the rest of the time you have to enjoy exclusively purchased flowers. If you do not want to spend extra money on buying roses, then do it yourself. For such crafts, a variety of material is suitable. In this workshop, flowers are made of crepe (corrugated) paper. Rosettes are miniature, but very attractive.
If you had a desire to make such flowers, then arm yourself with the following materials:

crepe paper in yellow, red, orange and light green;
scissors;
a tube of PVA glue;
toothpicks (7 pcs.);
beads (7 pcs.);
a piece of cardboard;
in pencil;
miniature vase.

First, prepare the basis for future flowers. Take beads and toothpicks. Put 1 bead on each toothpick. If the ball has a hole too large and does not stick tightly on the stick, then use 2 toothpicks per 1 bead.

Now prepare the crepe paper. Take paper of any shade that you have. You can take one color, but it is better to combine three adjacent shades. For example, red, orange and yellow.
Cut a petal from a piece of cardboard - this will be a stencil for subsequent work.
So, cut a piece of crepe paper from the red roll. Attach a petal stencil to it.

Cut several blanks on it at once.

Now take a bead with a toothpick and PVA glue. Glue one of the petals in the center of the bead to hide the hole.

Place the subsequent workpieces around the ball, previously applying a drop of glue.

So gradually you will form a magnificent flower of a miniature rose.

Similarly, make a yellow bud.

So repeat 5 more times. You should get 7 little roses.

The next stage is the manufacture of a cup with sepals. To do this, cut light green crepe paper into small squares.

Cut each corner of the square to make a blank like in the photo. In total, 7 such cups are needed.

Glue them on the flower by piercing the center with the lower sharp end of the toothpick.

Next, you need to decorate wooden sticks. To do this, cut off a strip of green crepe paper and paste over all toothpicks with it.

This is how finished stalks of flowers look like.

And this is a kind of lush half-opened buds.

It remains only to place the bouquet in a suitable container. You can use a low narrow vase or take a decorative bucket made by yourself from a plastic cup.

The bouquet fits perfectly in it.

The composition is ready!

It does not take up much space on a shelf or on the desktop. But roses will delight you with their extraordinary beauty all year round. And if you drop a drop of rose oil into each flower, you can also enjoy the aroma.
