How to make flowers from corrugated paper with your own hands for a number?

The child's birthday should be held in a special festive atmosphere. I would like to decorate the birthday’s room beautifully, and hang a large inscription in the hallway so that from the threshold the little guests feel positive and fun. Professional decorators can be called for help. They very quickly hang out the decor, but it’s much more interesting to do the interior decoration yourself. In this article, we will tell you how to make flowers from corrugated paper with your own hands for a figure for a children's holiday.

What can be made crafts for the holiday?

Numbers that correspond to the age of the birthday, made of small balls - the most familiar way for us to decorate the room. But if you make such an ornament yourself from any other material, then it will look very original and unusual.

Production Methods:

• A large figure can be cut out of cardboard and decorated with what your resources and imagination are capable of. For the basics, you can take a regular cardboard box of the right size. On the cardboard outlines of the figure are outlined. The figure is cut out with the help of a clerical knife and decorated.

Important! Such a product will be flat, so it can be hung on the wall.

• You can make a three-dimensional figure - with it the birthday man will be able to play and, if desired, rearrange it from place to place. To make it, you will need two identical blanks from cardboard, as well as long cardboard strips with smooth edges, for gluing the sidewalls.
• You can also cut a figure out of polystyrene foam - it will be light and voluminous. Slices must be done with a very sharp knife so that the edges are even.

Decor for the product should be selected in accordance with the general style of design. The most commonly used materials are:

• Colored yarn.
• Twine.
• Floristic film.
• Bright fabric (velvet, satin, chiffon, organza).
• Corrugated paper.
• Colored paper.
• Napkins

Important! All these materials are used to wrap the base, but with their help you can give the figure an additional volume. To do this, you need to make flowers from corrugated paper for the numbers. They can be with protruding petals or in the form of fluffy pompoms, to which different bows and “funky” can be added.

Corrugated Paper Number

The numbers, decorated with flowers from corrugated paper, look just great. They can be made in two ways. To do this, you need a large amount of corrugated paper of the desired color.

Important! The figures are much more beautiful if you glue flowers of two or three different colors on them.

Method number 1:

1. Cut the paper into strips. Approximate dimensions in centimeters: 50 * 3.5. Follow the correct arrangement of the “veins” of your future flowers - they should stretch along the flower, and not across.
2. Stretch the flower on one side to get waves. Such a stretch is possible due to the fact that there are “streaks” on paper.
3. Holding the stretched flower blanks on one side, waves up, grab the base-cup.
4. Thread or elastic in tone, secure the bottom of the flower.
5. The softer the material, the more magnificent and voluminous it is possible to make flowers from corrugated paper for numbers.
6. Paste the walls of the cardboard backing with corrugated paper to hide the gaps between the flowers.
7. Paste the base with the resulting flowers.For these purposes, it is very convenient to use a glue gun, but you can put the decor on a regular PVA.

Method number 2

Let's look at another option, how to make flowers from corrugated paper with your own hands for a number:

1. Cut corrugated paper into equal squares.
2. Apply glue to the cardboard base of the figure.
3. Wrap the pencil with corrugated paper, placing it in the center of the core.
4. Dip the bottom of the future flower in glue, attach to the cardboard base.
5. Gradually fill with squares the entire surface of the cardboard base.
