Master class “Large snowdrops for spring decoration of the hall.” Full size flowers

Good afternoon, dear colleagues!

Today I would like to present to your attention a master class on making snowdrops to decorate a music room for the spring holidays . The idea of ​​making snowdrops from crepe paper is not new, but here, as they say, “size matters”

.
This year I made BIG snowdrops , which my colleagues, children and parents really liked.
I hope you will like it too. Since a projector was to be used at the matinee, the central part had to be left open, and only the side parts, where two snowdrop be decorated . In the center we selected a suitable picture with spring flowers for the projector . The ceiling is decorated with flower garlands , the flowers of which also resemble snowdrops .

So, to make a flower we will need : white and green corrugated paper , a pair of napkins, cardboard and green paper for leaves, a glue stick, tape, scissors, 3 cotton swabs.

And, of course, the base on which the whole flower . I used physical education plastic poles on stands .

If you don’t have such wonderful sticks, then I think a thin plastic pipe, which needs to be secured in a vertical position on a stand .

I remove the plug from the end of the stick.

I roll a thin tube from two sheets of newspaper.

I secure the edge with tape.

I bend the newspaper tube into an arc.

I insert the edge of the newspaper tube inside the plastic tube (stick)

.

I cover the joint with a piece of newspaper so that it is not visible.

The stem is ready.

Let's start preparing the petals. There should be at least three of them, but I did 5 or 6 to the flower more magnificent. To make a bud you need one petal.

I cut strips 18 cm wide along a roll of white corrugated paper according to the number of future petals.

I twist it in the middle 1-2 times.

I bend it where it is twisted and fold it in half.

I straighten the paper into a boat

future petal.

I prepare all the petals.

Now I'm making stamens. I also have six of them.

I cut 3 strips, 3 cm wide, lengthwise from a roll of green corrugated paper, and cut each into two halves.

I cut the cotton swab in half.

I lightly coat the green strip with glue. I smear the edge better and put in half a cotton swab.

I twist the paper first around a cotton swab, and then on its own into a flagellum.

I glue all the stamens onto a piece of tape and wrap them to the end of a newspaper tube - to our stem.

So that this connection is not visible, if someone wants to look inside the flower , I will make a small “skirt”

from a napkin.

I fold the folded napkin from the pack 3 more times and round the edge of the resulting rectangle.

I unfold it and wrap it in the resulting “skirt”

edge of the stem with stamens.

I secure it with tape.

Now you can attach the main petals. If you have someone to help you, you can lay everything down at once and secure it with tape (one holds it, one secures it)

. If you work alone, it will be more convenient to attach the petals one at a time.

The flower is almost ready . We make him a beautiful green cup.

We wrap the place where the petals are attached to the stem with a napkin folded lengthwise, lightly smearing it with glue.

Cut a long strip 4-5 cm wide from a roll of corrugated paper across.

Lubricate only the end of the strip with glue and begin to wrap the calyx of the flower . Make 3-4 turns.

Then we smoothly move on to wrapping the stem.

We finish at the bottom of the stem and secure the edge of the tape with glue.

Until we move on to making leaves, you can add another flower or bud . You need to attach them to the rigid stem first with tape, then with green paper tape.

the leaves for my snowdrops from corrugated cardboard. My parents once brought a roll with an advertisement for ketchup: “Could this be useful?”

This came in handy -
I cut out quite decent pieces from it without green text . You can use any not very hard cardboard of a suitable size (50x16 cm for two leaves)
or
just a sheet of Whatman paper , but then you will need to cover it with green paper on both sides (or paint it)
.

My cardboard is already dark green on one side .

So I cut out a sheet (size 50 cm x 8 cm), sharpen the top edge and cover the reverse side with green paper.

I cut off the excess paper.

I give the finished sheet a slightly curved shape.

I wrap both leaves around the flower stem at the very base and secure with tape.

Here is my flower ready !

All that remains is to place it beautifully in a snowdrift.

Have a wonderful spring, dear colleagues, beautiful holidays and a great desire to create !

Necessary materials

The question may immediately arise: what can a snowdrop be made from? We can immediately reassure readers - there is no need to buy anything supernatural or unusual. To make the first spring flower you will need:

• wire;
• glue;
• cotton wool;
• paints;
• corrugated paper of two colors;
• semolina.

Let's consider step by step how to make a delicate plant with your own hands.

Unusual materials

The craft can turn out to be very unusual if you use pumpkin seeds as materials. At the same time, there can be a lot of options for such work. For example, an applique or plasticine craft. They have one thing in common - snowdrop petals are made from pumpkin seeds.

For those who want to make an original craft, you can use fabric or foamiran as the material. Felt snowdrops can be used to make a brooch, and foamiran snowdrops can be used to make a headband, wreath or hair tie.

Beadwork looks very delicate and beautiful.

To work, you only need beads, thin copper wire, thicker wire for the stem, and thread.

One of the videos is shown below:

You can make a beautiful picture or decoration for a gift if you make snowdrops using the guilloche technique. It consists of burning the fabric using a special apparatus, finishing the products with openwork lace, and making appliqués.

Pictures embroidered with ribbons look original. To create them you will need satin ribbons, base fabric, floss thread, needle, scissors. You can also make a postcard using this technique. For this purpose, the basis may not be fabric, but cardboard.

Step-by-step instruction

Here's how the work is done step by step:

1. First, petals, the base of a flower bud and leaves are cut out of paper.
2. A long strip of green paper is smeared with glue and wound onto a wire.
3. A small ball of cotton wool is glued to the tip of the wire.
4. The cotton wool is smeared with glue, grains of semolina are sprinkled onto the glue and everything is painted yellow.
5. The base of the bud is glued to the cotton wool.
6. We fix the bud on a wire wrapped in green paper.
7. We bend the wire slightly to give the “stem” the required shape.
8. And lastly, glue several leaves to the stem.

You can make several of these flowers, arrange them as a bouquet and attach them to the gift being presented.

Snowdrops made from paper for watercolor

MelMari shares another quick way to create DIY paper snowdrops.

Prepare materials from:

• sheet of white paper for watercolor
• hole punch for scrapbooking with a flower (5-6 petals)
• light green stamens
• tape
• thin wire
• scissors
• glue

Use a hole punch to cut the pieces.

Please note that you do not need to cut out a full flower, but only a part (slightly larger than half a flower)

Trim the ends of each flower and cut out the center.
To give the petals a convex shape, “curl” them inward using scissors. The stamens need to be prepared when assembling the flower: fold 2 stamens in half or take 4 ready-made stamens and glue them to the wire.

Apply glue to the edge of the petal and wrap the workpiece around the stamens:

For best gluing, hold the petals with your fingers for a while:

Then wrap the stem with tape or a narrow strip of corrugated paper:

Corrugated paper leaves are wound onto a stem and fixed with glue:

Another option

On the Internet you can find many ideas on how to make a beautiful snowdrop. Let's consider another interesting option.

For work you will need the following tools and materials:

• white and green corrugated paper;
• glue;
• scissors;
• wire;
• green threads;
• wax pencil.

The stages of work will be as follows.

Making snowdrops from foamiran: 3 properties of the material

The technique of making flowers from foamiran came to us from eastern countries and immediately became popular. First of all, it is necessary to explain what foamiran is. These are sheets of soft-to-touch silky synthetic material of different colors with a sheet thickness of 1 mm, suede. Typically there are 20 or 24 colors sold in a palette. It is produced in China and Iran. The demand is greater for Iranian foamiran. This mysterious eastern country is considered the birthplace of the technique of designing flowers and various accessories from foamiran.

Material for snowdrops from foamiran and MK for production

This amazing innovative material is easy to paint and can be tinted with powder.

With gentle heating, it easily changes shape:

• Curls;
• Processed with modeling tools;
• Stretching.

Foamiran is an excellent material from which you can make not only flowers, but also hairpins, brooches, refrigerator magnets, even figurines of people and animals, that is, a variety of three-dimensional decor.

Foamiran is easy and pleasant to work with: it easily takes the desired shape and is able to maintain it for a long time

Products made from foamiran do not deform, having “remembered” the shape that was given to it.

This innovative material becomes soft, pliable, elastic even under the influence of the heat of human hands, because it contains vinyl acetate and ethylene. This suede does not stick to your hands and does not get dirty, and the smell of new sheets disappears very easily.

It has a porous structure (the word translates as “porous rubber” or “foam material”), washes well, but does not absorb water well. It is not hazardous to the environment, non-toxic.

When working with foamiran, you must use special brands of glue, for example, “Creative” or UHU Power Spray adhesive spray. Metal braces are well suited for “dry” gluing foamiran parts. This material is especially often used to make bouquets of a wide variety of magnificent flowers that are difficult to distinguish from real ones.

Flowers always awaken the brightest feelings in the soul. The first spring flowers – snowdrops – look especially touching. If their appearance in nature is not expected soon, you can do some exciting creativity: hold a master class in which you can make foamiran snowdrops almost like real ones.

Materials for the master class

To make blueberries, as snowdrops are popularly called, we need certain materials.

To work with foamiran you do not need any special tools or skills

Namely:

• Foamiran in white, green, yellow colors;
• Cotton buds;
• Thin wire;
• Green type tape;
• Glue "moment";
• Iron or candle;
• Scissors;
• Thin brush;
• Tweezers;
• Foam sponge;
• Acrylic paint;
• Toothpick.

When working with glue, you must follow the rules. Namely: use a brush, make sure that the glue does not get on the skin of your hands and face, especially your eyes, wash your hands with soap after work, and wipe the table thoroughly. You also need to be careful when working with scissors so as not to accidentally injure your hands.

Making a snowdrop pattern from foamiran with your own hands

To prepare the pattern, you need a template for the petals and leaves.

Making a pattern:

1. 3 small heart-shaped petals are cut out of cardboard; the inner row will be formed from them.
2. 3 larger petals in the form of a raindrop - they are used to create the outer row of the flower.
3. The finished templates are outlined with a pencil on white or blue foamiran.
4. Carefully cut out.

Before starting work, you should think about the appearance of the future snowdrop and make a template

The snowdrop pattern from foamiran is ready!

Using a toothpick, draw veins on the template. Place the petals one by one on the soleplate of a slightly heated iron, which become voluminous when heated.

You can use tweezers, so as not to deform the workpieces, hold them over the candle flame.

Step-by-step instruction

Instructions for making snowdrops

The materials to create a snowdrop will require thin wire, corrugated paper in green, white and yellow, a glue stick, twine, a plastic container and a heat gun.

First of all, you need to cut a piece of wire 15 cm long. You need to cut a strip of 2x6 cm from yellow paper, and then wind it on the wire, cut it into a fringe and glue it in a twisted state to the wire.

Next, you need to cut a strip out of white paper and give it the shape of a flower; it is important to bend the paper with your fingers until it takes the required shape.

When the petals are ready, they can be glued at the base to the stem. You need to wrap a green strip of paper around the stem so that you get cups.

Next, the plastic container must be wrapped with twine or braided to obtain a pattern in the form of a basket, and then cotton wool must be placed inside and the flowers distributed.

Sweets as a gift

Homemade bouquets with candy inside each flower are very popular today. The instructions for making such snowdrops are very similar in their methods, but differ in some nuances.

When deciding to make such a gift, you should remember that the candies should be round in shape, and the candy wrappers should have no tails. Otherwise, you will have to disturb the base of the bud.

Openwork flowers

Snowdrops made from threads are amazingly beautiful. Let's consider the technique for performing this work.

Materials and tools:

• white and green threads;
• green ribbon;
• stationery glue;
• long needle;
• finger pads;
• wire;
• hot glue gun.

We inflate small balls from the fingertips and tie them with thread.

We put the threads in a glass so that they do not roll away. We thread the needle, pierce the bottle of office glue with the needle, and remove the needle.

We take the ball from the fingertip and wrap it with a thread passing through the glue. We do not wrap the ball completely, leaving small gaps. We make several openwork cocoons.

When the glue dries, pierce the fingertip with a needle and carefully pull it out. We cut the resulting ball in the shape of a star, bend the edges slightly outward and cover it with lace ribbon.

Making leaves. We lay out the green thread in a chaotic manner on the plastic film, lubricating it with glue. Cover with film on top and put pressure on it. Dry and cut out the leaves.

Using a glue gun, glue the leaves to the flower.

Making a stem. We wrap green tape around the wire and glue it.

We attach the flowers to the stem.

A few pieces will make a very beautiful bouquet:

Stages of work

Determine the number of flowers in your bouquet and, according to this, cut the required number of wires for the snowdrop stems. Make a small hook at the end of each wire.

A square (7x7 cm) is cut out of greenish paper. Slightly smooth the paper, place the candy in the center and bend the ends of the bud. Tie the bud with thread.

We wrap tape around the hook and insert the bud without piercing it. We wrap linden tape around both the wire and the paper. We cut petals from white paper, place one on top of the other and attach them to the bud with a thread.

Wrap tape around the bottom of the flower. Cut leaves from green paper. We wrap the wire with green paper and attach the leaves.

Make as many flowers as you think is necessary, tie them with a beautiful ribbon and give a sweet present to the girl.

Beaded snowdrops

To weave snowdrops from beads, prepare:

• white beads 15-20 g
• salad beads 10 g
• green chop 15-20 g
• green beads 10 g
• wire
• small vase
• green threads

The material is designed for 11 snowdrops. One snowdrop consists of 1 flower (4 petals and 3 stamens) and 2 leaves.

1 step. Let's start making the petal. Parallel weaving. We string 3 pieces of salad beads onto a 50 cm long wire and pull the wire through 2 pieces of beads. You should get a triangle.

Step 2. We string 3 beads (1 white, 1 light green and 1 white) onto 1 end of the wire and pull the 2nd end of the wire through them.

Step 3. We string: 3rd row - 4 pcs. white beads; 4th row - 5 pcs. white beads; 5 row – 4 pcs. white beads; 6th row – 3 pcs. light green beads; 7 row – 2 pcs. beads of light green color.

We pull the ends of the wire together and twist them. The result is one petal.

Step 4 Let's move on to the 2nd petal. Repeat step 1, step 2. Carrying out step 3, we reach the 5th row and thread the wire to the first petal between the 4th and 5th rows.

We weave all the remaining rows, threading the wire to the first sheet.

Step 5 Let's move on to the 3rd petal.

Step 6 Create the 4th petal. We intertwine the petal on both sides.

Step 7 We make a stamen. Take a 20 cm wire, string 3 yellow beads and twist them. Next, we string together 6 light green beads onto two wires.

For one flower you need to make 3 such stamens.

Step 8 We insert the stamens into the middle of the flower and twist the wire.

Step 9 We weave a leaf. Parallel weaving. We take a wire about 35 cm long and collect 3 pieces of green beads. After this, we thread 1 end of the wire into 2 pieces of beads so that a triangle is formed. We put 2 pieces of green cuttings on 1 end of the wire, and pull the 2nd end of the wire through them.

Thus, it is necessary to make 11 small leaves (from 7 to 10 rows) and 11 large ones (from 10 to 15 rows).

Step 10 We collect a flower. We screw one small and then a large leaf to the stem of the flower at a short distance from each other.

We wrap the stem of the flower with green thread.

When all the flowers are ready, arrange them beautifully in a vase. Carefully straighten the resulting bouquet. Delicate beaded snowdrops are ready!

On the Melody of Beads channel, Melodiabisera also weaves snowdrops from beads, but they turn out completely different:

Spoon flowers

After reading the fairy tale “12 months” with your child, offer to help your poor stepdaughter and “collect” snowdrops in a basket. To work, in addition to traditional corrugated paper, you will need:

• several disposable spoons;
• green plasticine;
• glue and scissors;
• juice straws;
• small basket.

And now a master class on snowdrops with your own hands:

1. A plasticine ball rolls out.
2. Spoon handles break off.
3. A flower bud is formed - spoons are inserted into plasticine.
4. On the opposite side, a juice tube is stuck into the plasticine.
5. We wrap the tube with corrugated paper - we get a flower stem.
6. Glue a couple of leaves to the stem.

Thus, we make enough snowdrops to fill the basket and satisfy the appetite of the evil stepmother!

Snowdrops made of corrugated paper

Veronica Podgornaya (nika-po) shows how to make snowdrops from corrugated paper with your own hands in 1 hour.

Materials:

• corrugated paper
• thin wire
• tape
• semolina (or paints)
• PVA glue
• cotton wool
• threads
• scissors

A strip of white corrugated paper 35 cm wide must be folded in 3 layers and cut out the petals in the shape of a drop:

An ordinary thin wire should be wrapped with green corrugated paper or tape (the length of the stem is about 12 cm):

Dip the tip of the finished stem into glue and wrap a little cotton wool around it (like the head of a cotton swab):

Dip it again in glue, and then in semolina, previously painted yellow (instead of semolina, you can use yellow acrylic or watercolor paint):

For the inner petals you will need white corrugated paper 25 cm wide. Cut scallops from one edge along the entire width. This same edge should then be tinted green, which should ideally match the color of the crepe paper used for the leaves.

Victoria colors white paper with green. To do this, PVA glue and water are dripped onto a piece of green paper. After some time, the glue turns greenish (because the paper fades).

Using this same glue, use a brush or cotton swab to paint the carved edge:

Next, the dried strip of paper needs to be wrapped around the cotton wool core. And stretch the cut out teardrop-shaped petals, giving them the convex shape of a snowdrop petal.

Lubricate the core of the flower with glue and carefully attach 3 white petals to it. When the glue has dried, wrap the entire stem with tape or corrugated paper, extending slightly over the petals.

For the leaves you will need green paper 25x50 cm. Twist the end of the paper into a narrow rope, then cut off the twisted part. This way you have made the first snowdrop leaf.

Glue it to the stem:

From green paper glued in 2 layers, cut out oblong leaves and also glue them to the stem:

A charming bouquet of snowdrops is ready!
