First you need to prepare the necessary materials to create the flower:
- corrugated paper in two colors: bright green and scarlet.
- scissors.
- a piece of wire 15 cm long.
- sewing thread.
- A small piece of cotton or sintepon.
Making a flower.
From the prepared scarlet paper, 12 identical parts should be cut out, from which petals for the flower will be created. The size of these blanks should be 7x9 cm. It is important to ensure that the details are smooth and the corrugated lines run parallel to the short side, otherwise as a result of the distant creation of the flower, the petals will become curved and ugly.
Next, you need to cut two angles at the long side of the part, indicating the line of the upper edge of the petal.

Now you should take the wire and make a small curl at one end of it. Since the wire will be the stem of the flower, thanks to this curl, the bud will hold tight in place. Next, on one scarlet part, it is necessary to arrange the prepared wire, placing the curl in the center. A small amount of cotton or sintepon should be placed on top of the wire.
Now you need to alternately wrap the centrally located cotton wool and wire with the two upper edges of the part. First you need to turn to the middle of the right side.
Next, repeat the addition, but from the left edge.
Now the volume obtained below is necessary to twist carefully and tightly around the wire and tighten with sewing thread to secure it. The result is a bulky core for the flower.
After that, around the made middle, you need to alternately attach all the remaining details of the scarlet color. You need to fix them with a sewing thread.
Further, it is necessary to carefully spread all the petals in their center and to straighten them especially strongly along the edge.
Next, you need to cut one rectangle from bright green paper. Its dimensions are 7x19 cm.
After that, along one of its lengths of the side, several large cloves need to be cut.
Now, each point made in the upper region needs to be twisted once with your fingers.
This detail now needs to be wrapped around the made bud and tightened tightly with wire, securing it to the flower.
Further from the remaining bright green paper you need to make a slanting strip. It should be cut at an angle of 45 degrees so that it stretches well and lies flat during operation. Its length should be at least 20 cm. Now, with this strip, it is necessary to wrap the entire stem of the flower in order to close the wire. It is necessary to start wrapping from the base of the bud, carefully stretching it and continuing until the end of the wire. After that, the color petals can be straightened again.
He is completely ready!
