For initial work, we need the following:
- Plasticine (or candy, at your discretion).
- Skewers.
- Glue (it is better to take glue pencil and PVA glue)
- Corrugated paper (colors of your choice).
- Foil.
- Wrapping paper.
- Napkins of green color.
So, as we only learn to make such bouquets, I advise you to initially take plasticine, not candy. So, let's begin. Knead plasticine and roll out of it a ball of the size we need. We take a square of foil (wrapping paper) and wrap our plasticine ball in it.
Make as many balls, as many flowers you have. I will have five flowers in the bouquet, so I need five balls. And there’s nothing wrong with the fact that the balls will be of different sizes. Flowers in nature are also all different sizes.
After you made all the balls. We begin to make blanks for our future leaves. We take corrugated paper (advice, it is better to buy good quality corrugated paper. Of it flowers, and others crafts it turns out better and more beautiful.) From paper we cut strips of width, and the length depends on the size of the ball (candy).
I got strips 10 centimeters long, 4 centimeters wide.
Having made blanks for flower leaves, we begin to make blanks similar to real tulip leaves. We take one strip, visually divide it so that one half is larger than the other and in this place we wind the paper. We make a short side turn around its axis. So do with all the blanks.
That's what we have to do.
From the side where you got a short half, slide a fingernail in the middle of the petal, so as to give volume to the leaf. So do with all the leaves.
Next, we begin to collect the flower. We take a skewer, string a ball (candy) on it. The length of the skewer depends on how long you need the flowers.
We take a leaf, smear, glue from below and glue it to the skewer.
You should be able to do this.
And so we glue three leaves on one flower.
Of course, all flowers have a green stem. You can take green corrugated paper, but I took the usual pale green napkins. They stick better to the skewer.
We cut out strips about one centimeter wide and there is nothing wrong with the fact that they will turn out not even, this will not be visible on the stem.
Smears one tip of the strip with glue, apply it to the place where our flower begins to “grow”. First, carefully wrap the strip around the flower several times, so that there are no gaps, then when you switch to the skewer, just hold the strip in your hands and twist the skewer. And so you wrap the strip on the stem. Here is what should happen.
Our bouquet is almost ready. It remains to arrange it beautifully. You can, of course, make leaves out of paper, but I decided to use this artificial grass and a flower net.
Before decorating a bouquet in this way, I advise you first to collect all the flowers in a bouquet and fix them with tape. After that we take the “weed” and wrap it around the flowers and then do the same with the net.
Then you can pack the collected bouquet in a beautiful package. It actually can be different, you can choose to your taste. I personally took a transparent one with cute painted hearts. As a result, our bouquet is ready.
Quite a lovely and beautiful bouquet. In general, when you make such bouquets, thoughts on design come during work, and each time you will get different bouquets.
