We will need a thick crepe paper from Italy. It is thicker and better take the necessary form. You can choose any color, which you have. The color scheme is very rich and everyone can choose something for yourselves.
List of materials:
- Crepe paper, Italian production
- Thread or thin decorative floral wire
- Foam ball
- Ruler to measure
- Scissors
- Hot glue
- Disposable gloves (preferably)
Step-by-Step Master Class:
1 Cut better on the floor, where there is plenty of space and a blank surface. The size of your roses will depend on the length of crepe paper. For the average flower is enough to cut 50cm
2 From the square you need to cut strips from which you will create a flower. Cut 7 cm wide strips
3 Next, bend angle as shown on a picture
4 Keep your finger. Then you have to bend in the center of the previous bending
5 Now you need to unscrew the fold place as if it were candy. We hope that the photos will help you to understand how to do it
6 So we got the first petal. Next, do these twists along the entire length of the strip.
7 If you use crepe paper of bright color, we recommend using thin disposable gloves, since the paper tends to paint fingers. Even after the creation of a single flower, your fingers will look like this. The paint can be washed off easily enough, but it is better not to risk
8 Curl paper
9 In the center and on the outside, the band will be similar to the twisted candy wrappers
10 Twist candy along the entire length of the segment
11 Try to make the petals same width and height
12 Finally, you must tighten the tip of the flower, so in the future flower has not started to collapse
15 As a result, you should get a similar blank
16 Do not expect perfect petals from the very first flowers. Initially, you will prepare a similar piece as on the picture. But even from these one you get a charming roses. The more you train, the smoother petals and roses you will obtain
21 Wrap the thread several times around the flower. You can use floral wire if you prefer to work with it
22 Already beautiful, but to make rose even more beautiful, it is necessary to slightly bend each petal
25 At the beginning of the less perfect pieces you will obtain such roses, which in my opinion are very cute
26 If you want to make a nice decoration - a ball of roses, then you need many flowers. Their number will depend on the size of the foam ball. Attach them to the ball with hot glue
