How to fold a serving napkin in the shape of a “Royal Lily”
To fold the lily, we will need to prepare a paper napkin (you can also use a fabric one).
At the first stage, we completely unfold the napkin, after which we fold it in the form of a triangle.
Now we bend the left corner up, aligning it with the central vertical line.
We make a similar fold in the right corner. Our blank has acquired a square appearance.
Now we bend the corners again. First, bend the left corner straight down.
We do the same with the right corner.
The upper part of our napkin needs to be folded into a narrow strip. To do this, first make a small bend in the upper corner.
After this, we continue to fold it, bending it down.
We completely wrap the top part in the form of a strip.
Now the napkin needs to be given a cylindrical shape. To do this, we connect the corners of the workpiece together, placing one under the other.
This is what our serving napkin looks like at this stage.
All that remains is to bend its side petals to the sides.
Our royal lily from a serving napkin is ready.
Lilies from napkins: video tutorials and detailed instructions with photos
Flowers, perhaps, can decorate any place. You can decorate a holiday table with lilies, give an unusual flower as a gift, or decorate the interior. As you learn the process of creating lilies from the most common napkins, video tutorials and photo instructions will become your faithful assistants.
In order to learn how to create beautiful lilies from napkins, we suggest you use step-by-step instructions. Since the article contains several different types of lilies, everyone can find the flower they need here.
It can be difficult for beginners to understand even with photographic material and detailed instructions. Therefore, if you still have questions about creating a lily from napkins, the step-by-step video tutorials presented in addition to this master class will help you figure it out to the end.
How to create a beautiful lily from napkins: video tutorials with photos
You can give this lily as a gift for a holiday or decorate your interior. To make such a flower you do not need special skills. Just carefully study the instructions and repeat the steps in it.
One lily will require from 9 to 13 petals.
1) To make petals, you can use both white and colored napkins. In our case, the napkins are pink. First you need to cut the napkin into 4 equal parts and fold each of them in half.
2) Place the napkin vertically and, placing a skewer on the corner, carefully twist the napkin onto it, approximately to the middle of the napkin.
3) Squeeze the napkin directly on the skewer towards the middle, then carefully remove the skewer. And we do the same with the opposite corner of the napkin.
4) We twist the upper part of the petal and decorate the petal itself, as shown in the photo.
To make stamens we need a yellow napkin.
1) Divide the napkin into two parts and each part needs to be folded in half.
2) Now you need to make cuts. The distance between the cuts is 1 centimeter. When making cuts, we do not reach the edge 1.5 cm. Then we twist the resulting strips.
3) Now we need semolina. Pour a little semolina into a small container (if desired, you can crumble an oil pencil into the semolina). Now we take our stamens and first dip the stamen into glue, and then into semolina. We do this with all the stamens.
4) After the glue has dried a little, you need to carefully screw our stamens onto a skewer, after first smearing the edge of the napkin with glue.
1) First, glue the first petal to the skewer with the stamens. We press its lower edge well so that the petal clasps the skewer.
2) The second petal is attached strictly opposite the first.
3) We also fasten two more petals opposite each other.
4) The remaining petals need to be secured in a checkerboard pattern.
Stem and leaves.
1) We wrap a narrow strip of green napkin or green type tape around the bottom of our flower and around the skewer, which plays the role of a stem.
2) To make leaves, we use the same technique as when making petals: using a skewer, we twist the edges of the napkin on both sides. It is important to note that for the leaves we take the wide part of the napkin.
3) Now you need to shape the leaf by squeezing the bottom of the napkin towards the middle.
4) After the leaves are ready, you need to fix them on the stem of our lily.
Now our lily is ready!
Corrugated paper peonies step by step
Corrugated paper is an excellent material in many ways, with a little effort you can create flowers and leaves from it that are indistinguishable from the real thing. See how to make magical peonies from corrugated paper with your own hands, aren’t they beautiful? Cut out the petals, fringe and leaves using the template on the website. Decorate the petals with a brush dipped in paint - you can add ombre, simple dots or stripes. Do not use watery paints; they will pull the color out of the crepe paper. The most important part when making realistic crepe paper flower petals is the "cupping". To fold the petals, hold them between the thumbs and index fingers of both hands (thumbs on top)
Very carefully move your fingers together and pull gently to form a bowl shape. Leave the border unstretched so that the petal holds its shape
Make a fabric ball and stick one end of the floral wire into it. Wrap the paper around the ball and wire - it will look like a lollipop. Wrap a small piece of floral tape around the wire to hold it all together.
Next, add the stamens: place them around the center and wrap floral tape around the bottom to secure.
Add crepe paper fringe in the same way: wrap it around the wire just below the center piece, pinch and hold with floral tape.
Next, add the petals by placing the small ends around the wire and securing them with pieces of floral tape as you go.
Finish the job by attaching the leaves: wrap the wire with tape.
As you move from the flower to the end, add leaves by squeezing the small ends around the wire and wrapping tape around them. The corrugated paper peony is ready. Attach to the back of the chair of the guest of honor at a special event.
We create a lily (water lily) from napkins in a master class
The second part of our master class will be devoted to the water lily - water lily.
This flower is perfect for serving a festive table. So, let's start creating our beautiful lily!
1) First, we need to take a napkin of a suitable color and bend each of its corners to the center, exactly as shown in the photo.
2) Turn our napkin over and do the same action again.
3) Now carefully hold the corners that are in the middle and carefully pull the corner located on the wrong side and thereby twist it from the wrong side to the front.
4) So we pull out all 4 corners.
5) We need 3 pieces of such blanks. We place all three blanks on top of each other, but do it in a checkerboard pattern.
The water lily can be used already at this stage. Then our lily will play the role of a glass holder. By the way, it looks very nice.
But if you decide not to stop there, you need to take a few more steps.
1) Fold the yellow napkin in half and cut out a strip 3 cm wide from it.
2) Now we make cuts on the strip and twist it in exactly the same way as shown in the photo.
3) Glue the resulting center to our water lily.
Now our water lily will decorate any table!
Craft product Paper plastic Chrysanthemum made from paper loops Paper Cardboard Glue
This light and beautiful chrysanthemum can be made in a matter of minutes!
For the product you will need:
1.-Yellow cardboard. 2.-Colored paper. 3.-Glue. 4.-Scissors.
The first step is to make the base of the flower. Cut out a circle with a diameter of 3-4 cm from cardboard.
From paper of the desired color - many strips 7-8 cm long and 0.8-1 cm wide. You can make narrow strips - no more than 5 mm wide. Then the finished flower will look more elegant, but there will be more work involved in making and gluing the petals.
Coat one side of the strip with glue.
You will need a lot of these loops. In our case, about 30 pieces were used. If the strips of paper cut for the loops are narrower, you will need even more loops.
Glue the loops to the back of the yellow cardboard circle in a circle.
Continue gluing loops from the edges to the center of the circle, moving in a spiral until the entire surface is covered.
This is what the finished flower will look like:
We decorate the flower with leaves.
The flower can be made in any shade.
I made this frame using chrysanthemums!
Do-it-yourself Lotus vase made from paper napkins as a gift for March 8th. Master class with step-by-step photos
Author: Zaushitsina Lyudmila Konstantinovna, teacher of the MBDOU “CRR-DS “Smile”, Abaza, Republic of Khakassia.
Description: this master class is intended for children, educators, additional education teachers, wonderful parents and creative people.
Purpose: a gift for the holiday “Mother’s Day”, “March 8”, can serve as work for an exhibition, competition or simply decorate a holiday table.
Goal: performing volumetric appliqué using non-traditional techniques. Objectives: 1. Create favorable conditions for the development of fine motor skills. 2. Promote the development of creative activity. 3. Create conditions for instilling in children an emotional, positive attitude towards the “March 8” holiday.
According to Indian mythology, our land is a huge blossoming Lotus. In China, a lake with Lotuses is Paradise, and each bud is the soul of a person. The veneration of this plant from ancient times to the present day is associated with its amazing features. Growing out of the mud, it remains clean, since the flowers and leaves are covered with a thin waxy coating. They appear pearlescent, shimmer and glow under the rays of the sun. The liquid rolls off their surface like drops of mercury. A blooming Lotus releases warmth and energy. The bud heats up quite strongly to +36°C and literally glows. It successfully maintains its temperature unchanged, even during a sharp cold snap. This warmth and delicate aroma attracts insects for pollination. Scientists have managed to measure the amount of energy released. It turned out to be equal to 1 Watt.
To get started we will need napkins and a small piece of wire.

A little history
Napkins were invented a long time ago, almost three thousand years ago. In ancient Egypt they were carved from fig leaves. Later, Roman and Greek craftsmen learned to make them from asbestos fibers. Even later, in Rome, cloth napkins appeared.
In Russia, they began to be used under Peter I. In general, napkins were a sign of prosperity and a good dowry for girls.
There are so many types of them: paper, fabric, wet. It should be noted that a paper napkin is also a symbol of the development of the pulp and paper industry. It appeared only in the 20th century.
Today, a napkin is not only a household item, but also a wonderful decoration for the holiday table. Napkin folding masters amaze everyone with their wonderful creations.
If we pay closer attention to this essentially very simple thing, we will understand that it is a wonderful material, relatively cheap and of high quality for various kinds of crafts and decorations. After all, napkins come in different colors, sizes and textures. They can be exfoliated, and then it will be the finest material for making, for example, roses. There are no limits to imagination, and napkins allow it to really play out.
Everyone can take the first steps in creating flowers from napkins on their own. On the Internet you will find many video lessons: lilies from napkins, roses, tulips, master classes and step-by-step instructions on folding flowers for every taste from ordinary paper napkins will help anyone who wants to master this art.
Today we will begin our creative search and try to learn how to fold lilies from various types of napkins.
How to beautifully fold napkins on the table
Flowers from napkins (master class) – “Plume”
* Fold the napkin diagonally.
* Now you need to align the left and right corners of the resulting triangle with its crown.
* Next, the figure needs to be folded in half, relative to the horizontal axis.
*Now connect the right and left corners from the back of the napkin and insert one into the other.
* Rotate your figure and pull the upward-facing corners to the right and left.
* All that remains is to carefully place the napkin in a vertical position.
DIY napkin lily
* As in the first case, the napkin must be folded in half diagonally.
* Next you need to combine the left and right corners of the resulting triangle with the vertex.
* Now the napkin needs to be folded in half again along the horizontal axis.
* Fold the crown of the upper triangle.
DIY crafts from napkins – “Megafon”
* Fold your napkin in half.
* Fold the napkin again in the same direction.
* Now you need to bend the sides of the resulting narrow rectangle down symmetrically.
* Turn the resulting shape with the front part away from you and twist the ends so that you get “balls”.
* All that remains is to connect the “balls” to each other.
Napkins for the table (photo) – “Diamond”
* Fold the napkin in half horizontally.
* Now fold the napkin in half again to make a square (4 layers).
* Fold back one layer of the square and fold it in half almost to the opposite corner, just shy of it.
* Fold back the second and third layers of the square in the same style.
* Fold the left and right corners as shown in the picture or video. The main thing is that everything is symmetrical. Fold one end inside the other.
* Turn the napkin over again. Ready!

How to fold napkins beautifully – “Handbag”
* Place the unfolded napkin on the table and fold it in half vertically.
* Fold the napkin in half again, this time from the bottom up.
* Fold the upper corners of the first layer towards the center (similar to how a paper airplane is assembled), and bend the resulting triangle down slightly below the base.
* Repeat the same with the corners of the second layer and bend the resulting triangle over the first triangle.
Applications and paintings
All children love to create bright colored appliques.
These crafts, made from paper napkins, are very bright and attract attention with their unusual appearance. There are several easy techniques for creating color pictures from napkins: mosaic, trimming, volumetric applique
Application “Bouquet of lilacs”
This craft is made using the mosaic technique. To work on it you will need:
- one napkin each in white, pink and purple;
- green paper;
- colored cardboard;
- scissors;
- glue.
Applications using the mosaic technique are made from a wad of paper. To make them, a napkin must be cut into 3*3 cm squares and rolled into a ball.
Stems and leaves are cut out of green paper.
Three small triangles are drawn on cardboard with a simple pencil, marking the place for the flowers. Glue the stems and leaves into place. Then lilac brushes are formed from paper balls. Using a brush, apply a little glue to the previously drawn triangle and place a lump of napkin on it.
After completing the work, the crafts can be inserted into a frame.
Fluffy pictures
Working with small objects develops a child's fine motor skills and helps teach him perseverance and hard work. Creating beautiful appliques from small pieces of paper can captivate both the baby and his adult environment. This technique is called trimming. To make fluffy pictures from napkins you will need:
- napkins of different colors;
- children's coloring book;
- scissors;
- glue or plasticine;
- toothpick.
Before starting work, several preparatory steps must be completed. Choose a coloring book whose design will correspond to the child’s age. For kids, you can choose a picture depicting a multi-colored butterfly or bird. Using a simple pencil, mark the details of the picture with the same color. For kids, you can draw circles of the appropriate color.
Next you need to prepare the tool for work. It is made from a toothpick; one sharp tip is cut off with scissors.
The material for applique using the trimming technique is paper napkins, cut into squares measuring 1*1 cm. You can attach them to the paper using glue, applying it with a brush to small areas of the picture. For small children it will be more convenient to work with plasticine, which is smeared in a thin layer over the picture and colored leaves are attached to it.
When all the necessary preparations have been made, you can begin to work. Place the blunt end of a toothpick in the center of the paper square. The ends of the paper are carefully pressed against it and the workpiece is transferred to the drawing. To make the craft fluffy and voluminous, the pieces must be placed very close to each other.
In the trimming technique, you can only make the main figure of the picture, and color the shape using paints, felt-tip pens or colored pencils.
Adults can also make appliqués using this original technique, using self-drawn templates or coloring books for adults for bright panels.
Basket with carnations
This craft can be prepared together with a child of primary school age by May 9th. It combines several interesting and original techniques. Master class will tell you step by step how to make simple paintings from napkins with your own hands. To work you will need:
- white and red napkins;
- strips of brown paper;
- colored cardboard;
- markers;
- St. George Ribbon;
- scissors;
- stapler;
- quilling tool;
- glue.
Roll strips of brown quilling paper into round shapes 1 cm in diameter. To make an openwork basket you will need about 50 identical parts.
Carnation buds are made from napkins, which are folded in half twice. The resulting square is fixed in the center using a stapler. Curly scissors cut out a circle. Each layer of the figure is carefully lifted and pressed to the center, without affecting the last 2-3 layers. Thus, you need to make 4 red and 6 white buds. Before forming the flowers, the edges of the three white blanks are outlined with a red felt-tip pen to create a beautiful border.
Assembling the applique begins by forming a basket of brown circles. Before gluing the handle to the basket, glue the tape on one side. Paper carnations are glued in rows: 1 row consists of four red carnations, then three white and red carnations are glued and the white buds are placed in the shape of a triangle. At the end of the work, the St. George ribbon is tied in the shape of a bow.
DIY rose from napkins
You can make a beautiful rose from an ordinary paper napkin and decorate the table with it, as well as do something nice for your loved ones.
The pattern is not very complicated, which means anyone can make a rose. Here you can find both photo instructions and a video tutorial.
* Lay the napkin on a flat surface and begin to roll it into a tube. To make this easier, grab one end of the napkin with your index and middle fingers.
* One end of the tube needs to be bent.
* Holding one part of the tube, start twisting the other (larger) part. You don't need to twist until the very end - stop a little below the middle.
* Gently lift the lower, untwisted part up to make rose leaves out of it.
* Press down your rose leaf in some places so that it remains in the desired position.
* You can also twist the very bottom part of the flower.
*Tweak the top of your flower to make the rose more realistic.
If you don't succeed the first time, don't despair - everything comes with practice. Practice and you will succeed.
Bright dandelion
A yellow dandelion created with your own hands will definitely cheer you up and bring good luck for the whole day! To make it you will need fairly thick three-layer napkins, a stapler, and scissors.
Execution sequence:
- The yellow napkin is folded in half a couple of times and cut into square pieces.
- The resulting square blanks are stacked and fixed in the center using a stapler.
- Protruding sharp corners are carefully cut off using sharp scissors so as not to damage or pull the napkins. The result will be a small circle of napkins.
- A fringe is created along the edges; the dandelion petals folded together fluff up and rise to the top. You will get a beautiful, voluminous and lush flower that can be used as decoration for crafts, gifts, and decorations.
Bright, spring dandelion is ready!
