Tasks:

The uniqueness of the gerbera is given by its light green foliage, a bright, beautiful flower with star-shaped inflorescences. Gerberas are flowers of joy and fun. They give us laughter and smiles. In general, everything that is sometimes so lacking in life. One of the meanings of gerbera in the language of flowers is mystery. The mystery of the flower is associated with a legend that tells that the gerbera is not a flower, but a beautiful nymph. The modest nymph, in order to avoid too much attention to herself, turned into a simple wildflower. Outwardly resembling a daisy, gerbera could not escape attention to itself. For the joy and warmth that it gives, gerbera becomes a welcome guest in every home. Smiling mysteriously, she seems to be flirting with you. In this flower you will find amazing simplicity combined with modesty, and extraordinary elegance.

Open as the sun - they have nothing to pick! Anyone can draw a circle with petals. A similar chamomile compared to a gerbera Well, just a mess compared to the queen! Their petals are like velvet, warmth comes from them, and your soul is calm, solemnly bright. And with flirting, faith will not fade into love and strength, Let the luxurious gerbera give it to you! (Belova Anna) I adore gerberas, but, unfortunately, no one gave them to me.
The decision came naturally. Now these cute flowers will stand in my vase and delight me regardless of the time of year. I offer you a master class on creating gerberas using regular office paper. Required materials and tools:

• colored office paper • scissors • PVA glue • quilling strips 3 or 5 mm • templates • plastic ruler • stapler • quilling tool • single-core aluminum wire • hot glue • tape tape

Progress:

1. Cut out templates from cardboard and transfer to a sheet of paper. You get 2 large and 2 small flowers, but they differ in size. One is smaller than the previous one. For one flower we need one large flower and two smaller ones. Three medium ones and three smallest ones.

2. Then I scanned the resulting sheet. I printed the templates directly on colored paper.

3. At the same time, I fold three sheets of office paper and secure them with a stapler. I cut it out. Thus, you will get blanks for three colors at once. Saves a lot of time.

4. Remove the staples from the stapler. For large flowers, I press a straight line in the center of each petal with a plastic ruler. Place a mouse pad or something similar under the bottom of the workpiece. For small pieces, I twist the petals using the rings of scissors.

5. Add glue to the center of the flower and glue the blanks together so that the upper petals are located between the lower ones. In the same way we glue the medium-sized blanks and the smallest ones. 6. Collect everything into one flower.

7. From 3 quilling strips we twist into a tight roll. We use a quilling tool. This is our core. Glue it to the center of the flower.

8. Using a template on a sheet, make several blanks. Print on green paper and fold the sheet in half. We receive several blanks at once.

9. Glue the resulting sepal in the form of a cone. Pre-cut a hole for the wire.

10. Thread the sepal through the wire. Remove the unnecessary winding from the tip and bend it a little.

11. Using hot glue, attach the wire to the flower. We attach the sepals to PVA. Wrap the resulting stem with tape (can be replaced with corrugated paper).

We put the flowers in a vase and admire them. Now closer.

Bouquet of gerberas made of corrugated paper

In today's master class we will show you an option for making gerberas from corrugated paper. And in the end we will make a bouquet of these flowers.

To create it we will prepare:

- corrugated paper in light pink, hot pink, brown, green;
- scissors with a glue gun;
- ruler with pencil;
- wire.

First we will make blanks for the center of the gerbera. To do this, cut out 3 strips of 10x2 cm from brown corrugated paper. They should stretch along the length.

We put them together and begin to make frequent cuts on one side, they should not reach the opposite edge.

We received these brown blanks.

Now we take the wire, apply a little hot glue to the brown strip and begin to wind it onto the wire.

In this way we make the middle of the gerbera from three stripes.

Next, we will make blanks from bright pink paper. We cut out 3 rectangles 15x2 cm. The direction of stretching in this case is along the long side.

We take one piece, fold it in half and cut it into strips about 7 mm wide.

Then we round the edges, forming petals.

Let's use scissors again and carefully curl the petals.

We do the same with the rest of the bright pink stripes.

Now we will glue these blanks to the middle of our flower. We glue the first strip so that the twisted petals face the center. In this case, we apply hot glue only to the lower edge of the bright pink strip, and the workpiece itself should be located slightly above the brown one.

We will glue the next 2 strips so that the petals face outward.

This is the middle ground for the gerbera.

We will make the main petals of our flower from light pink paper. Cut out a rectangle 6x3 cm. It should stretch across the width.

We make a couple of cuts to a depth of about 4 cm, dividing the workpiece into 3 parts. We round off the resulting petals with scissors.

Now use scissors to carefully twist them.

We prepare several of these preparations, their quantity depends on the desired splendor of the flower.

Apply hot glue to the bottom of the light pink blank, and then apply it to the flower.

So we gradually form the first row of light pink petals. It took us 5 of these blanks.

Next we will glue the petals of the second row.

For the sepals, cut out a 7x5 cm rectangle from green corrugated paper. It stretches along the long side.

Use scissors to create a jagged edge on one side.

Now, using your fingers, carefully stretch the workpiece from above and in the middle. We leave the lower part as is.

Glue this sepal under the flower.

For the stem itself we will use the same corrugated paper. We cut a strip about 1 cm wide. At the same time, it should stretch in length.

At the top of the stem we secure it with a glue gun, after which we begin to wind it onto the wire, periodically stretching the strip. We also fix it at the bottom with a drop of hot glue.

This is the gerbera we got.

For the bouquet we made 3 of these flowers.

All that remains is to arrange our bouquet. For this we use bright green wrapping paper and tie it with a satin ribbon.

We got these gerberas in a corrugated paper bouquet.

How to make flowers from foamiran: gerbera petal patterns

To make it easier to make a large number of identical gerberas, you need to make petal templates. For one gerbera flower you will need 24 petals of two types: short and longer. The shape of the petal resembles a rather elongated drop.

Petal sizes:

large petal – 55 mm long, 15 mm wide;
small – 30 mm long, 13 mm wide.

For ease of construction, you need to use graph paper, and then transfer the drawing to thick cardboard and carefully cut out the template according to the shape.

The center of the flower is formed from four different strips of foamiran:

central strip: length – 20 cm, width – 2.2 cm;
middle: length – 18 cm, width – 1.5 cm;
external: length – 19.5 cm, width – 1.8 cm;
final: length – 14 cm, width – 2 cm.

To construct core strips, it is not necessary to use a template; an ordinary ruler is sufficient. The petals are shaped with a hot iron, and the flower is assembled using glue.
