Bouquet

The simplest of the elements of technology "quilling» design a variety of flowers. These can be daisies, bells, lilies of the valley, forget-me-nots - the simplest ones, but tulips, daffodils, poppies, lilacs, dahlias, orchids and others are more difficult to make. I have been interested in this technique for a long time, but today I want to share a master class of simple flowers that can be made from the most basic elements. What’s interesting is that they will not be mounted in the form of a picture, but on decorative stems, which you will also make yourself. A similar composition will decorate your home in winter, when fresh flowers are infrequent guests in vases. If you are familiar with quilling and know how to make simple elements from paper strips, then it will not be difficult for you to make such a craft.

What do you need to prepare for work? Take the following materials:
- a sheet of double-sided dark green colored paper;
- multi-colored stripes for quilling (5 mm wide);
- a tube of PVA glue;
- scissors;
- wooden skewers (long) according to the number of colors, plus one for work.



So, I'll tell you how to make one flower. To do this, you need to take 12 pink strips of paper and 1 yellow one.



You need to cut the pink strips in half and twist 24 round “loose spiral” blanks and one of the same, only yellow.



From pink blanks we make “eye” elements. To do this, the spiral must be squeezed simultaneously with both hands from two parallel sides. Leave the yellow spiral in its original shape.



We glue 12 petals around a yellow round spiral, pressing them tightly against each other. We wait until the glue dries.



Now you need to glue the remaining 12 elements. We place them between the petals of the first circle. The result is a complex flower.



These flowers can be made in any shade, it all depends on your mood and the interior of the room in which you will place the composition.



Now I will tell you how to glue a flower to a stem. You need to take a long skewer and wrap a green strip of paper around its entire length. And on top of the stick (where the blunt edge is) wind a tight spiral.



Pour glue into the middle of the flower and apply the skewer with the side where you made the spiral. We leave all the flowers to dry.



Now we begin the process of making decorative greenery.
Take a green sheet of double-sided construction paper and cut it widthwise into 4 equal pieces.



Cut one of the edges of each part into a thin fringe (3-4 mm strips).



Twist the resulting paper fringe using scissors to create lush curls.



Once the flowers are glued to the skewers, arrange them in a vase and decorate it with decorative paper greenery.



This charming bouquet can be made using the quilling technique. It will decorate your room in winter until spring primroses bloom in the garden or country house.



Advice! You can use multi-colored blanks to create a flower, then the bouquet will turn out brighter and more colorful. You can also decorate the flower stem with paper leaves.
