Do you like to do handicrafts? Then you just need to know how to make roses from colored paper. How can this skill be useful to you? You can always give a beautiful gift to your friend or please a loved one. Buying real flowers every day is very expensive. But you can delight the beautiful half of humanity with paper creations every day. Find various ways to make roses from colored paper below.

Simple roses

What could be easier than cutting a sheet of paper into thin strips? Nothing. What beautiful things can be made from a thin strip? Simple paper roses take just a minute to assemble. How to make an interesting and very easy flower? To make it you will need thick double-sided colored paper. Cut the leaf into strips approximately 3-5 cm thick. The length of your workpiece will determine the splendor of the bud. If you are collecting a bouquet, then you should think about the fact that there should be roses of different diameters and different densities. So make blanks of different sizes. How to make roses from strips of paper? Twist the workpiece into a tube, and then slightly recess the middle of the spiral inward. Seal the tail with paper tape so that the product takes a stable shape and cannot fall apart. To do this, it is better to fix not only the end part of the strip, but also the beginning tail. The paper rose is almost ready. All that remains is to attach a stick to it and cut out the leaves. You can make a flower stem from a skewer, which should first be painted green. And the leaves can be made according to the same principle as a rose, only in this case the edges of the workpiece will need to be flattened at the top and bottom in order to make the leaf resemble the original.

Making a giant corrugated rose with your own hands: master class

The first stage of our work will be to prepare templates for petals of two different shapes. We cut them out of hard cardboard. Now, using this pattern, we will cut out our corrugated paper blanks, making sure that the corrugated stripes run along the petal. Our flower leaves have 2 shapes: drops and hearts. Drop-shaped ones need 8-10 pieces. (4-5 pieces each of the darkest and medium shades), heart - 18-20 pieces. (10 pieces are medium shade and the rest are the lightest). Let's put them aside and begin to build the “receptacle” of our rose.

Inflate the balloon to about the size of your head. We cover it with paper napkins using the papier-mâché technique; it is better to choose the napkins to match the color of the flower, but you can also use just white ones. We are waiting for the glue to dry. At this time, you can work on the stem and leaves.

We cut out six leaves from green corrugated paper, adhering to their natural shape. Lubricate the sheet with glue in the middle and lay the wire. Bend it in half along the wire and place it under pressure. We do the same manipulations with all the leaves. After the glue has dried, unfold them and wrap the wire 4-5 cm from the sheet with tape, twist 3 wires together and also wrap the twist with tape.

The stem of our rose will be made of a metal-plastic pipe. We wrap it with the same tape that was used to make the leaves, attaching the cuttings in the right places. We bend the bottom into a ring for stability.

Now let's get back to the ball. Let's cut the ball of napkins in half, put one half into the other and fasten them together. Let's begin to give a natural shape to the corrugated rose petals. We carefully stretch the edges to create waves, and form the middle by pulling the petal onto the head of the doll prepared in advance.

Let's start creating the inflorescence. We glue the leaves from the center, starting with the narrowest and darkest, continuing in a circle with a slight offset relative to the previous petals and moving on to the middle ones in color. We continue, carefully filling the hemisphere. We paste the outside of the base with the largest and lightest petals.

At the bottom we glue a short tube made of cardboard or metal-plastic, which is slightly wider in diameter than the stem. This is necessary so that we can attach the flower head. We cover the bottom with green paper and glue the sepals.

We put the flower on the stem, straighten all the petals and the corrugated paper rose is ready!

Retro roses

Do you want to make a simple paper rose, but the option described above seems too easy to you? Then you can take this idea on board. How to make a stylish and very easy craft? To create it you will need thin paper. You should make a long strip out of it. One edge of this blank should be made wavy. This effect will be easy to achieve if you use special scissors that will give your product a wavy edge. Twist a rosette from the workpiece and secure the ends. To make the flower more original and attractive, you can decorate it with acrylic paint. For this purpose, you should use gold or silver color. If you wish, you can decorate the edge with sparkles and even various beads. Use your imagination to create a decorative flower.

The thinner the material you use to create a rose, the more airy your result will be. If you want to complement your craft with a lightweight white card, it is advisable to use crepe paper. And if your task is to decorate a sheet of whatman paper, then the rose should be made from cardboard.

An unforgettable holiday decorated with full-sized flowers

Decorating rooms with giant flowers, among which you feel like Thumbelina, is becoming more and more popular and widespread. Various celebrations, children's parties, themed photo shoots, and even just the interior of stores are decorated with huge life-size roses made of corrugated paper, peonies from Thomas, sunflowers, poppies, etc.

Do you dream of a unique and unique wedding? Create stunning DIY corrugated paper accessories that your guests will remember for a long time.

Big roses

Today it is fashionable to decorate rooms with large flowers. Do you follow fashion trends and want to decorate the wall in your apartment with giant roses? This desire is easy to fulfill. How to make large flowers that will complement the interior in light colors? First you need to make preparations. Draw one of the petals on a piece of unnecessary wallpaper. In shape it should vaguely resemble a heart, but this shape should be exaggerated to make your flower more realistic. Make the same pattern in three different sizes. Then take sheets of tinted paper and start cutting. Count how many petals you need to make. There will be 7 large petals in the lowest tier. Make each subsequent sector with a decrease in one petal. You can fasten the workpieces with a moment, or you can use PVA glue. In the second case, the paper adhesion will be no less reliable, but the product will take much longer to dry.

How can you decorate a finished flower? You need to make a decorative center for the rose. The core can be decorated with metal fittings, as well as various beads and rhinestones.

tiered flower

How to make small paper roses? Not everyone needs giant color options. If you are making roses for cards, then you will be satisfied with cute flowers that fit well in the palm of your hand. To make these flowers, you will need to draw a pattern. It will be shaped like a drop. But the tip of the stencil will not be sharp, but cut off. Create petals of three different sizes. These will be leaves of different tiers. Now a cut should be made on each lower part of the petal. Using glue, glue the cut parts together with an overlap. Why complicate your life and why can't you collect the leaves without additional cutting and gluing? Similar manipulations with the craft must be done so that your product is voluminous and not flat. Assemble each tier separately, and then glue them together like a pyramid. There will be a larger part at the base, and a smaller one at the top. You can decorate the center of the rose with any available material. For example, cut out stamens from colored paper, make them from wire, or make them from thin twigs. To make the flower look more decorative, glue a rhinestone or bead inside it.

Small roses for a bouquet

No flower arrangement would seem complete without small elements. As a good addition to the bouquet, I would like to suggest making small roses. Everything is very simple.

• strip of pink paper measuring 15x4 cm;
• two green corrugated leaves, approximately 3 cm wide and 6 cm long;
• green tape;
• wire or skewer.

Take the pink strip and pinch the edge, starting at the overhanging corner, so that each time you fold, a new corner is created. Walk along the entire length.

Curl the rose with the curved side inward. Tighten with threads at the base, straighten the layers of paper. Glue the skewer with a glue gun and start wrapping it with tape. During the wrapping process, attach two leaves close to the flower itself.

If you make three roses on wire, you can connect them together into one composition and decorate the bouquet. Experiment with color, creating unique branches with charming roses!

Rose is a beautiful noble flower. A bouquet of roses not only decorates, but also gives positive emotions and a good mood. In this article we will look at several options: how to make roses from corrugated paper with your own hands?

Peony rose

Today, roses are in fashion, which are very similar to peonies. It is not surprising that these flowers are loved not only by florists, but also by needlewomen. How to easily make a paper rose? To make it you will need thin sheets of three colors. The central part of the rose will be pink, the edge of the flower will be dark pink, and the lower part will be green. For the top part you will need 4-6 sheets, and for the remaining parts you will need 2-3 sheets of different colors. How to make a rose from paper? Instructions with a step-by-step explanation of the operation are given above. You need to put all the sheets on top of each other, and then fold them like an accordion. Cut the right and left parts of the workpiece into a semicircle. Drag the middle of the workpiece with wire or thin rope. Now you need to lift the layers of paper one by one and fluff them up. The more layers you prepare, the more magnificent your flower will be. It will take about half an hour to make one such peony rose. But if you decide to give someone a craft as a gift, it’s better to immediately prepare three to five flowers. Then your bouquet will look lush and presentable.

How to make a rose from corrugated paper

For the rose you will need Italian corrugated paper in pink and green. The flower can be any shade of your choice. Let's divide the work into two stages: making the rose and leaves.

Start with a flower. For work you will need: pink paper, a green strip 1-1.5 cm wide, floral wire, a round candy or a ball of foil. Tools: glue gun, ruler, scissors, thread, toothpick.

To make a beautiful lush rose, cut pink crepe paper as follows:

• 1 rectangle 7 cm wide and 15 cm long;
• 8 parts measuring 4x7 cm;
• 6 leaves measuring 4x8 cm.
• green rectangle 8 cm wide and 6 cm long.

Start preparing the petals. For a large piece, round the upper right and left corners. Divide the 4x7 cm rectangles into two groups of 3 and 5 pieces. Round the first three on one side. Cut the other five in the same way, plus make a narrow base. Form the same petals from 4x8 cm blanks.

Now take a toothpick and curl the ends of the petals (before doing this, slightly stretch the blanks in the center). Eight pieces on one side at an angle of 45°. Six petals of the last row (4x8 cm) on both sides at an angle of 45°.

Start assembly by forming the middle of the bud. Take the longest piece and bend the paper in the middle, carefully stretching it along its entire length. Place a candy or foil ball inside. Gently twist, gradually lowering each layer of paper down. Fasten the base with threads, winding it several times.

Take three petals with a wide base and place them in the middle so that they step on each other. Fasten with thread as before. Please note that the petals are slightly below the end of the candy bud. If it is difficult to tie them directly with thread, glue them with a gun first and then tie them.

Trim the excess bottom ends and insert the wire, coating the end with hot glue. Be careful not to pierce the candy.

The next row consists of 5 petals, twisted on one side. Glue them to the base at the level of the three previous ones, slightly overlapping each other. Secure with thread for security.

The last row is 6 petals twisted on both sides. Glue in a checkerboard pattern and do not forget to tie with thread. The lush, delicate rose is almost ready. All that remains is to make a sepal from green corrugation.

Take a 6x7 cm rectangle and scissors. Form 4-5 sharp ends. Gun glue the sepal to the base of the rose. Bend the ends slightly. Take the tape and wrap it around the stem, starting at the base of the rose where the sepals are attached.

It is not necessary to use tape. You can take a strip of green corrugated paper, 1-1.5 cm wide, and do the same, fastening it with glue. The result will please you. Admire the flower and move on to the leaves. Without them, the composition will not be complete.

rose leaves

For the leaves prepare:

• 3 squares of green paper measuring 5x5 cm;
• 3 wires (one long and two short);
• tape or green paper strip.

Modular rose

Do you want to make a voluminous paper rose, but you have limited time for the craft? Then you will like this product option. How to make a flower? The craft will consist of three tiers and to make it you will need three square blanks of different sizes. It is advisable to choose double-sided paper to create a flower so that your craft looks attractive not only from the front, but also from the back. How to make a rose? Fold each of the square pieces in half, and then in half again. You should end up with a small square. Now bend the square diagonally and make one of the sharp corners of the geometric figure rounded. The bottom corner should also be cut off. Unfold your blanks. You should end up with flowers with petals of different sizes. Using scissors, twist each petal, and then assemble all the modules into a single structure.

How to make a leaf for a flower? To make it, you need to cut out an oval from green paper, and then give the smoked parts sharp corners. Bend the sheet like an accordion, and then straighten the workpiece a little. The sheet is ready. To make the rose look prettier, give it two or three leaves.

How to make a rosebud from corrugated paper.
Master class How to make a rosebud from corrugated paper. Master class from Alla-Alushka

No matter how much I resisted doing MK, I still did it, although if I had not taken on one project, I would hardly have mastered it (MK) in the near future. Very often I am asked how I make such flowers. But I don’t even know what to answer. I came to this “recipe” through long attempts and training, although I will show you the features that I came up with today. I will show the example of the “Autumn Waltz” candy, although you can, of course, take any other candy. Here I indicate the sizes using a ruler, but I don’t use it, I do everything by eye. So, I cut 2 strips of corrugation 10 cm and 5 cm wide, respectively, and divide them into blanks about 8.5 cm high. Each strip should yield 5 rectangles + leftovers (we won’t need them).

Take 1 wide piece, fold it in three and cut it. We do the same with another wide blank, but take only one rectangle, put the rest aside, we won’t need them. These are our future narrow petals. We also fold two more wide pieces in half and cut them. As a result, we get one large rectangle, 4 narrow and nine wide blanks for the petals.

Let's start cutting out the petals. First, take the largest piece, fold it in half and round the top. It turns out almost a semicircle. Then we take the petal blank, fold it in half, round the corners on top, and vice versa at the bottom, cut off these corners. We do this with all the petals, both narrow and wide.

We begin to form the petals. First, use the thumbs of both hands to make a depression for the candy, but only in the center of the petal, do not stretch the edges. Then we take a skewer and begin to twist the petal onto it. This is where the “trick” of my rose recipe lies - you need to twist it tightly, almost 1.5-2 turns of the skewer. Then I just pull the skewer out. Thus, we are left with a STRONGLY curled half of the petal. We do the same on the other side. The photo shows how strongly the edges of the petal are curved. We perform this sequence of actions with all the petals, both narrow and wide.

Let's start assembling the flower. We take our large blank and place the candy on it. As you can see, in this blank I DO NOT make indentations for the candy, but I begin to wrap it very tightly, stretching the corrugation as I work. First I wrap it on one side, then on the other, and tie it with thread at the bottom. After this, you can give the bud a finished look by slightly bending the edges with your fingers.

Then everything is simple: first we work with narrow petals. Add a drop of glue to the very tip and glue it to the bud (all four petals). Next row we glue four wide petals, trying to place them in a checkerboard pattern relative to the narrow petals. We distribute the last five petals in the last row. However, you can not make a row of four wide petals, but distribute five wide ones immediately after the narrow ones. DO make sepals, don't be lazy! After gluing the sepals, you can run a skewer over each one, placing the skewer between the sepal and the flower. In this case, the sepals will seem to press against the flower and flow around it, and not stick out in different directions.

In general, we have made a flower, now you can carefully glue a toothpick, skewer, wire into it and use it at your discretion. But we will continue to work and make a souvenir single rose. My problem with assembling these flowers has always been that they have a fairly wide base, and when using druth it was almost impossible to tap the flower stem beautifully. And since you can’t hide the “ugly” transition in this rose, I do this: I take a flower extension. These are used when, for example, you need to place an orchid in a bouquet. They have a fairly long water reservoir, which I cut off, leaving just a little bit. I cut the base of the rose at an angle, and pour plenty of hot glue into the remaining reservoir and practically “screw” the flower into it. And I leave it until it cools and sets.

We tape the extension, add leaves, beads, any decor you like and admire our rose. You can add a bud (as in the first photo) or several buds.

Since we started talking about roses, I’ll show you how to make a bud, but there are a great many such MKs in SM. We take two small rectangles, literally one turn of the candy. Fold them together and in half. Cut out a semicircle. We slightly move the outer petal down and to the side, literally by 2-3 mm.

We take the candy, tuck the tails (so that the candy is not “tightly” attached) and wrap the candy, first on the right, then on the left (or vice versa, whichever is more convenient for you, it just depends on which direction to move the outer petal, to the right or left, so that along the entire bud had two petals visible - see in the photo) and tie it with thread. Glue the sepals and twist them with a skewer. Our bud is ready. Now, depending on what it is intended for, we glue in a toothpick, skewer, wire, etc.

Now a little more “boring” theory. The formation of any rose comes down to the fact that we must form a bud and then glue the petals. Any MK contains exactly these steps. In addition, even the petals in any MK are the same - semicircular. And then each master decides for himself what and how he will do with these petals - stretch, twist, twist, trim, or do nothing else at all. You can also make a rose from petals of only one width. Depending on these steps, very different results will be obtained. Don’t be afraid to experiment and don’t strive to make an “exact copy” of what you want. This is unlikely to happen, since making a copy is a boring task. Bring something of your own, good, unique, and then everything will work out for you. I wish you good luck in your creativity!!!

Origami

Making beautiful paper flowers is very easy. For example, you can make an origami rose. How to do it? To make such a craft, you will need many rectangles of thick double-sided paper. They should be the same not only in length, but also in width. A master class on paper roses is given above. How to repeat the result from the picture step by step? The first thing you need to do is make the middle. Fold one of the leaves in half and then roll it into a tube. Now you can start creating the petals. The edges of each rectangle from different sides need to be folded down into a triangle, and then the acute corner should be folded again. Bend the petals so that they clasp the middle. If the product falls apart because you are making it for the first time, you can use double-sided tape or glue to better secure the paper. Collect all the petals in a similar manner. The more layers your product has, the more magnificent the rose will look.

Roses with winding

Do you have tissue paper in soft pink? Then you can make a magnificent flower out of it. A master class on paper roses is given above. How to repeat a similar craft? First you need to find a stick that will become the base of the flower. For this purpose, you can use a skewer or any other smooth and durable thing, for example, a knitting needle. Pre-cut teardrop-shaped petals need to be wound onto the stick in layers. Since you initially take thin material, keep in mind that your product will be very fragile. Therefore, you should understand that such a rose will look good if it stands somewhere and not lies. But thanks to the transparency of its leaves, your product will be very similar to the original flower.

Corrugated paper roses

Do you want to entertain your children? Invite them to make a flower. How to make a paper rose with kids? To make this craft you will need corrugated paper and cocktail straws.

Making Tips

Above were ideas on how to make roses from colored paper. Now read some tips that will help you make your product better.

• Always wash your hands before handling paper. If your palms become sweaty while working, do not be lazy to wash off the sweat, otherwise the thin petals may lose their beautiful delicate color and acquire unsightly spots.
• Curl the petals with blunt scissors. If you do this with sharp blades, you may cut not only the paper, but also yourself.
• To glue paper, it is better to use PVA glue. The moment will leave stains on the paper if you accidentally drop it on the workpiece.
