Paper flower

The idea came by chance. Looking at the soiled wall with ragged wallpapers, imagining the costs of redecorating, the brain began to look for any alternative ways to solve the problem. At first I wanted to paste the posts from the magazine, but they looked strange, because the spots on the wallpaper were in a chaotic manner. A little later, the thought came about the colors with which you can stick all the spots on the walls. To do this, 12 identical flowers were made, which later decorated the wall in the children's room. Oddly enough, but the flowers were in place, like a design idea, and not an attempt to hide greasy stains on the wallpaper.

The example will show how to make a single flower. For the frame, sticky paper was used on one side, purchased at a stationery store. It seemed very convenient, no need to spend money on glue, but a little later it turned out that the adhesive paper was not very practical, its glue dries quickly, glued elements fall off. Therefore, all subsequent flowers were made of ordinary cardboard, and the elements were attached to paper glue. So, you need to draw a flower or any other figure on a piece of sticky paper or on cardboard. Use a stationery knife to cut the part.



Draw with a pencil the borders allotted for different colors of paper, if multicolor design is planned. For plain products, borders are not needed. In the case of sticky paper, draw borders with a clerical knife so that it is convenient to tear one sector apart. This will allow the adhesive base not to dry ahead of time. We cut cardboard, which will serve as a pattern for all the details, and cut thin paper of different colors into it.





Crumple the cut paper, twist the balls.








Remove from the product one square of paper, exposing the adhesive side, and if cardboard is used, apply glue to a small area.




Stick colored balls.






Again strip the area of ​​glue paper or apply glue to cardboard and stick paper balls.







Glue the whole product with paper balls.











The product is ready and will soon go to the wall, covering with itself a large oily stain that remains after the games of the kids. And since there were a lot of paper flowers, the children's room turned into a flower greenhouse.
