You need:
• Colored paper - 2 sheets for the petals, I have a coral color, as well as 1 green sheet and a strip of yellow.
• Corrugated paper in green or colored adhesive tape in green.
• Awl or gypsy needle.
• Wire.
• A line, a pencil, scissors.
• Glue.
The first thing we need to do is a pattern. We draw a cross and then add three more stripes between the lines of the cross. It is not necessary to make a perfect 16-hexagon, you will still bend triangles anyway. One 16-hexagon should be 10 cm in diameter, the other 8 cm.
According to the pattern, we will need to cut 4 16 hexagons with a diameter of 8 cm and 6 with a diameter of 10 cm. We also need to cut 2 16 hexagons with a diameter of 8 cm on green paper.
We draw the resulting workpiece and make a circle in the middle.
On the drawn lines we make cuts to the circle and begin to add triangles along the center line.
Such blanks for a flower should turn out here. Petals need to be bent into the middle so that the flower in the future turns out to be voluminous.
Take a strip of yellow colored paper and fold it in half lengthwise. Now, with scissors, we make cuts at an angle, not reaching the fold line.
When the entire strip is cut, we begin to twist it. It is necessary to twist so that the "petals" of the paper fluff up and create a bumbonchik.
As you curl, glue the paper so that it does not turn back. You should have such a fluffy circle. This circle will become the center of our flower.
Now we begin to collect our aster. We take 16 hexagons with a diameter of 10 cm and gradually glue it, dipping the central circles with glue. Next, we take 2 16-hexagons with a diameter of 8 cm and glue in the center of the flower. Do not forget to bend the petals in the center.
The remaining 2 16 hexagon of coral color and 2 green color we glue from the bottom of the flower, face down. When all the flower petals have dried and glued well, we make a small hole in the center with an awl or gypsy needle and insert a wire into it. We bend the end of the wire and fix it with glue and a fluffy core of yellow color. Wrap the wire in green corrugated paper or green tape.
You should get such a flower. If you wish, you can make a sheet of corrugated paper and screw it onto the aster stem. Such an aster made by the hands of a child will surely appeal to mom or grandmother. This flower can also be made with children, it helps to develop fine motor skills! You can experiment with color aster and create amazing multi-colored bouquets.
