Required tools and materials

Before you start working on a corrugated rose, you need to prepare:

• corrugated paper forflower (preferably several, close to each other shades, for example, deep pink, pink, light pink or white, cream, very light green);
• green crepe paper;
• balloon;
• paper napkins;
• PVA glue;
• scissors;
• green tape;
• wire;
• a metal-plastic tube (1.5-2 cm in diameter) about 2 m long.
• hard ball-shaped object, you can take the doll's head.

Creating a giant corrugated rose with your own hands: a master class

The first stage of our work will be preparing templates for petals of two different shapes. Cut them out of hard cardboard. Now, according to this pattern, we cut out our blanks from corrugated paper, making sure that the corrugation strips run along the petal. The leaves of the flower we have have 2 forms: drops and hearts. Drop-shaped need 8-10 pcs. (4-5 pieces each of the darkest and medium shades), with a heart - 18-20 pieces. (10 pieces of medium shade and the rest are the lightest). Let's put them aside and start building the "receptacle" of our rose.

Inflate a balloon somewhere to the size of your head. We paste over it with paper napkins using the papier-mâché technique, it is better to choose napkins to match the flower, but you can also take just white ones. We are waiting for the glue to dry. At this time, you can work on the stem and leaves.

Leaves are cut out of green corrugated paper in the amount of six pieces, adhering to the natural form. Lubricate the sheet in the middle with glue and lay the wire. We bend in half along the wire and put it under oppression. We do the same manipulations with all the leaves. After the glue dries, unfold them and wrap the wire 4-5 cm from the sheet with teip tape, twist 3 wires together and also wrap the twist with tape.

The stem of our rose will be made of a metal-plastic pipe. We wrap it with the same tape that was used in the manufacture of the leaves, attaching the cuttings in the right places. Bend the bottom into a ring for stability.

Now back to the balloon. We cut the ball of napkins in half, put one half into the other and fasten them together. Let's start to give a natural shape to the corrugated rose petals. Gently stretch the edges to make waves, and form the middle by pulling the petal over the head of the doll prepared in advance.

Let's start creating an inflorescence. We glue the leaves from the center, starting with the narrowest and darkest, continuing in a circle with a slight offset relative to the previous petals and moving on to the middle ones in color. We continue, carefully filling the hemisphere. With the largest and lightest petals, we glue the base on the outside.

From the bottom we glue a short tube made of cardboard or metal-plastic, which is slightly wider in diameter than the stem. This is necessary so that we can attach the flower head. Paste the bottom with green paper and glue the sepals.

We put the flower on the stem, straighten all the petals and the growth rose from corrugated paper is ready!

Paper Flower: Quick Option

But not everyone has the patience and skill to createsuch a complex flower. And how to make a big rose from corrugations without spending a lot of time?

There is also a much easier and faster way. Take red corrugated paper, cut the roll in half. Expand and cut the edges on one side in the form of deep scallops. Take a thick wire or metal-plastic pipe and cover it with green tape. Now begin to wrap a strip of paper with scallops around the "stem", forming a flower. Tie with strong thread. Glue the attachment point with teip tape, adding sepals. Twist the petals with a pencil, slightly stretch in the center. That's all, it turned out to be the simplest corrugated rose to make!
