Make spring fever
These flowers do not wither! Paper flowers in beautiful colors bring spring into our four walls. Here come our ideas.
This is what you need for the paper flower n made from cupcake tins:
- Paper baking cups in different sizes (department store)
- Craft wire (craft shop)
- Maskingtape (craft shop)
- lace craft scissors
- locking pliers
- pincers
And that's how easy it is:
1. Fold the molds twice to the middle.
2. Cut off the upper edge at an angle.
3. Unfold the shape. Edit two more and smaller molds as well. Put all of the molds together in size.
4. Cut the wire to about 20 cm.
5. Wind one end of the wire around the clamp to prevent the wire from slipping.
6. Pierce the wire through the nested flowers and pull through.
7. Using masking tape, attach the bottom of the flowers to the wire.
What you need for the napkin holders:
- Colored paper
- glue stick
- Cutter with cutting pad
- Geschenkband
- napkin
- ruler
- scissors
And that's how easy it is:
1. Cut several strips in different lengths (eg 10, 8 and 6 cm) with a width of 1 cm from the paper. Cut the ends semicircular on both sides.
2. Glue the strips lengthwise (the longest first) over each other so that a flower is created. Apply adhesive in the middle of the strip.
3. Using a cutter in the middle of the flower make two incisions, approximately 1 cm long, at a distance of 1.5 cm parallel to each other. Thread the ribbon around and tie it around the napkin.
Tip: if necessary Cut a name tag out of colored paper and place it on the napkin.
This is what you need for the paper bouquets:
- Straw silk in sky blue, sand, light yellow and white
- yarn
- Puncture wire (from the florist)
- Black crepe paper
- Hot glue gun and hot glue
- ruler
- pencil
- scissors
And that's how easy it is:
1. Cut the straw silk measuring 14 x 20 cm, superimposing it in three layers and folding it like an accordion from the shorter side edge.
2. Tie straw silk in the middle with yarn.
3. Cut both ends of the folded paper in a semicircle.
4. Fold the pages in a fan-shaped manner and carefully pull apart the individual layers of leaves until a puffy flower is formed.
5. Cut the straw silk in another color to a strip of 30 x 5 cm. Make one of the two long sides wavy.
6. Wrap this strip like a flower around a wire, cut it and put it on the flower.
7. For the flower stamp cut the black crepe paper into a 15 x 3 cm long strip and cut in the long side every 0.2 cm.
8. Gather the strips, fix with adhesive strips at the bottom and stick them in the middle of the flower.
This is what you need for the paper flowers from Bast:
- Colored paper in DIN A4
- The pintle
- beads
- bast
- ruler
- scissors
- Hot glue gun and hot glue
And that's how easy it is:
1. For flowering, cut the paper from the shorter side edge into three elongated strips.
2. Cut the strips every 0.2 to 0.5 cm on the long side and wind them around the wire.
3. Fold the strips outward like flowers and insert a bead in the middle.
4. Wrap the wire with raffia for the stalk. Carefully unfold the bast for the leaves, cut them and fasten them to the wire.
