Necessary materials
Important! Whatever is being created and from what material, you must always first prepare everything you need for the work.
To make carnations from paper napkins you will need the following:
- paper napkins of a suitable color to choose from (pink, red, white, burgundy, yellow, orange);
- green corrugated paper;
- colored markers or felt-tip pens;
- a compass or a lid of the required size (any round material of the correct shape, even a glass);
- wooden sticks or wire;
- scissors;
- pencil;
- large paper clips;
- glue;
- stapler or plasticine;
- You may also need a needle and thread.
All materials are very affordable and do not require large expenditures.
How to make carnations from napkins with your own hands? Let's consider several simple ways to make carnations from paper napkins with your own hands step by step.
The first way
- Place several napkins one on top of the other.
- Secure one side with a paper clip to keep it in place. Place a round lid on top or draw a circle with a compass, cut out round shapes for the flower. Secure the other end of the blanks.
- Cut out the bonded circles.
- You can make the product plain or with a highlighted edge by drawing it with a marker of the desired color.
- Sew or fasten the end of the wire to the middle of the future bud.
- Start forming the buds of the future bouquet. Remove the top layer, crush it, pressing it to the center. Do the same with all subsequent layers.
Please note! When forming a flower, do not crush all layers equally, but chaotically. This will give splendor and more reality to the bud.
- Wrap the wire or wooden stick with green corrugated paper (or any green paper you have). In some cases, green electrical tape is used for this purpose.
- Add leaves to the stem by cutting them out of paper and gluing them on.
If the stem is made from a wooden skewer, you can pre-form it and attach it to the bud with plasticine.
The second way
- Step-by-step production begins with cutting off a piece of the napkin edge, no more than 1 cm, which will be useful later.
- Unfold the blank, fold it into an accordion shape. Tie it in the middle with a strip torn off beforehand. You get a butterfly.
- Alternately, on the top of the bow, separate each layer of the napkin and fluff it up, forming the petals of the bud. Fasten in the middle with a stapler.
The third way
The instructions for making paper carnations differ from the previous ones in that the petals need to be cut out separately and then connected.
Let's take a detailed look at the step-by-step implementation.
- Fold the napkin in half until you get a small square.
- Then fold it diagonally to form a triangle.
- Cut one edge for the center of the carnation.
- Round off the opposite side with scissors, making the petals jagged, like a real flower.
- Repeat these steps in the same way with the next 4-5 napkins.
- Place the finished blanks on a wooden stick one by one, gluing them together so that the finished flower does not fall apart.
- Cut out the leaves and thread them with thin wire.
- Wrap the stem with corrugated paper and attach the leaves to it.
The masterpiece is ready. You can decorate the edges of the carnations at stage 4, as indicated in the first manufacturing method.
Napkin Carnation for Card
To make carnations from paper napkins for a postcard, you can use any of the methods suggested earlier. But for children, there is a simpler method that can be illustrated visually by a senior master in the manufacture of paper products.
- Cut the prepared paper material into four parts (if it is a standard 12 cm, if more - into 6 parts).
- Place them on top of each other so that the edges match, and staple them in the middle.
- Cut off the corners to create a round shape.
- Using scissors, cut the petals in a circle, without cutting too close to the edge, so as not to completely cut off part of the bud.
- Fluff up the finished petals, randomly lifting and pressing them upward.
- Cut the stems out of green paper in the form of stripes. You can use the method of making with wire or a wooden skewer.
- Cut out the leaves for the future product.
- Prepare the base on which you need to glue the flowers, all the necessary components (buds, stems, leaves) and start gluing. First glue the stems, buds, then the leaves. You can add any elements cut out of paper to the composition: the flag of the country, an airplane, a tank, a ship, even a parachutist with a parachute.
You can create a romantic composition, decorating it with appropriate attributes.
Using the methods discussed above for creating a carnation flower from a paper napkin with your own hands, you can easily create any colorful composition that will always look original.
