Promotion white flower how to make from paper. Class hour on the topic "white flower" campaign

Good afternoon, today I’m finally uploading a large selection of master classes on the theme of paper flowers. Here are the most interesting ways to make paper flowers. We will make a variety of flowers - flat and three-dimensional - from corrugated paper and thick colored paper. I will show you every craft step by step in photos and I will give as much as possible detailed instructions to each flower made in one way or another. I will also give stencils– templates of flower silhouettes. All the crafts I collected are posted in order from simple to complex. First of all, we will study the MOST UNDERSTANDABLE techniques for folding paper flowers (those that are easy to understand and repeat ourselves)... and gradually move on to MORE COMPLEX and painstaking instructions (to prefabricated detailed flowers and the origami technique). I also uploaded a special article dedicated to different ways to make a paper rose - here is the link to it

And, for educators (teachers and educators) I made an article with simple children's crafts WITH FLOWERS, which can be made in classes at school and kindergarten from paper and other materials:

I specifically decided to do so big a selection of paper flowers in one place - with the goal that you can immediately find a suitable scheme for assembling a flower for THAT PAPER THAT YOU HAVE, and for the task that you want to solve with the help of paper flowers (a flower craft as a gift for mom, decorating a child's birthdays with voluminous flower arrangements, wedding decoration, decor for cards or gift bags).

The only thing I didn’t include in the body of this article was PAPER ROSES. I found ways to make a voluminous rose so much that I had to put these crafts in a separate article on the same site, it will be called that “Paper roses - 20 ways to make them yourself.”

But before we begin the master classes themselves, I want to make you fall in love with the very idea of ​​paper flowers. I want even casual visitors to this web page to have their hands itch and their eyes to light up. And I want to awaken in you delight and a burning desire to make a flower with your own hands. So that this magic arises... so that your soul also spreads its petals and blooms...

Let's see what piece of life a flower you made can decorate. Here are examples of how an ordinary table setting can become very beautiful and formal with lush floral crafts.

Also, large paper flowers made of crepe or corrugated paper are used for decorative purposes. for celebration decoration– wedding hall, children's birthday party, incendiary party. They are mounted on the wall or on the backs of chairs, or tied to window handles.

But such large flowers can be made from A4 paper (office size) or from a roll of corrugated crepe paper.

Photographers and photo studios also use voluminous large paper flowers as exclusive props for staged photographs.

You can also make such a large paper flower simply as a gift for Mother’s Day, or for March 8th. Surely no one has ever given your mother something like this before. Will be remembered for a long time. And you can also take a picture of your mother right away with this flower - she will proudly post this photo on her social media page.

Ordinary plastic combs, rims and metal pins can also be decorated with voluminous paper flowers. So we will get elegant hair decorations for a wedding or party.

Miniature paper flowers can decorate handmade cards, and other scrapbooking crafts (like these delicate crepe paper pansies).

Also, a paper flower made with your own hands is the best gift box decoration. And not costly. A lush gift ribbon costs much more than a couple of sheets of colored or white office paper - a few movements with scissors and now a paper orchid or the delicate pink color of a wild rose has bloomed on your package.

And the flowers themselves can be a great stand-alone gift. If you arrange your work in the form of a basket, or a decorative panel (as in the photo with poppies made of colored paper).

If you learn how to make paper flowers with your own hands, you can use this talent in many areas of life. It will be simple and easy for you to decorate a room for any holiday, decorate a family celebration at home, or beautifully decorate gifts for relatives and friends, or entertain the neighborhood kids by organizing an interesting craft with a master class.

METHOD No. 1

PAPER FLOWERS

I decided to call the flowers made this way "puff pastries" because their construction principle is the same as that of puff pastry. Subtle layers of floral silhouettes overlap each other. And each layer is given convex volume(or faceted relief), and due to this the flower looks lush and voluminous.

Here in the photo below we see a step-by-step master class for beginners on how to create such a voluminous dahlia flower. The dahlia is not to be confused with the aster; the aster has narrower petals and each has an edge (a raised fold like on trousers).

So... let's look carefully at the photo of the flower craft below. The trick here is that paper is cut layer outlines– each contour has six petals, and differs from its counterparts only in size. That is, the shape of the stencil is the same - only the size is different.

Before gluing each cut paper arch the silhouette in order to give it a natural shape. We begin gluing and assembling the paper dahlia from the little ones middle layers to larger and larger ones.

Of course you have a QUESTION:“And how to cut such uniformly sized petal circles-layers.

ANSWER: Here's the one simple and fast way make such a flower with your own hands as a novice master. It does not require searching for a stencil template, but allows you to obtain geometrically even petal parts for a paper flower without any measuring instruments (compasses and rulers).

1. Take a sheet of paper and glasses different radii. We trace them on a sheet of paper.
2. We cut out the resulting rounds, fold each round in four and in half again (as when cutting out a snowflake). And on such a round piece folded into a triangle we draw outlines of two petals (like a heart).
3. We cut this contour with scissors (see photo below) - we deepen the cutout in the middle of the heart - we unfold it and get a petal layer.

Because we have circles of different sizes - then we will get petal layers different in size. We set the relief, put it together, add a yellow stamen-middle (stamens will be discussed below).

Such a delicate flower can be strung on a wire (to make a stem) and presented to your mother as a paper bouquet for Mother’s Day.

ANSWER: An ordinary round stick (pencil or pen, or knitting needle) can serve as a stamp for imprinting relief on the petals. Here's how you can do it yourself, you can clearly see in the photo of a flower craft below.

The flower assembly diagram is the same as the previous one (see step-by-step photos).

Using the PAPER PAY technique you can make a variety of three-dimensional flowers (anemones, poppies, asters, dahlias, roses). The evidence is in the photo below.

You see – the same “puff” method – but the results are completely different flowers. And all due to the fact that the silhouettes of the paper petal layers are DIFFERENT IN THEIR OUTLINES.

And don’t forget that not only the contour (silhouette, shape of the petal) is important... but the RELIEF of the petals is also important. It is the correctly defined relief that transforms flat outlines into living convex layers of the future flower.

For relief we need round sticks of varying thickness (thin knitting needles, toothpicks, thick round-sided markers, felt-tip pens, spherical perfume caps, or lollipops). Any items that will help set the shape.

So that the relief lies neatly on thick paper– you may need to slightly moisten it before work (sprinkle it from a spray bottle or hold it on a wet towel). Try it and see how it works better - dry or wet.

And here's to you ready-made templates puff paper flower. Flower stencils are already several sizes. You can right now put a sheet of paper on the glowing screen and trace with a pencil these silhouettes shining through from the screen onto your sheet of paper (this is my favorite way copy the template without any printer - not every home has a printing device).

And you can also resize any template using a computer mouse.

Look - in the photo below I give you a template silhouette. Silhouette is ONE size only. Do you want to get this silhouette? different sizes– to make a multi-layer paper flower craft.

To change the size of this silhouette, you press on the keyboard with one hand buttonCtrl, and while holding this button pressed, use your other hand to turn the mouse wheel - back and forth. And from this action of yours, everything that is now drawn on your screen increases or decreases, depending on where you turn the wheel - away from you or towards you.

Try this right now– press and twist. See how the stencil design image below has changed size? This way you can directly on the computer screen, adjust the template to any size and trace it with a pencil on a sheet of paper placed on the screen of your monitor. This is the fastest way to get the outline of any flower stencil immediately in any size we need.

Here are shaped templates for future paper flowers - and you can change the size of the picture yourself. And you can design and create any paper flower with your own hands.

Let’s also take a closer look at the interesting additions to such layered colors.

How to make a stamen

in puff paper flowers.

Below is an interesting step-by-step lesson where we see how a stamen for a multi-layer paper flower is created step by step.

How to apply

large inflorescence

on one stalk.

And I would also like to show another one here clever and simple trick which allows you to do whole inflorescence of flowers on one stem. In nature, flowers are often found where many flower cups nest in one place and have common central stem.

This is exactly the kind of flower craft that the step-by-step master class in the photo below will demonstrate.

1. We cut out a bunch of stems with a common round base from green thick paper (or cardboard). We glue double-sided tape onto this round base.
2. We twist a tube from a newspaper and wrap it in green paper. Glue the tube-stem to the round base - twisting it around the stem.
3. We make flowers (from two red layers and one black stamen). We glue each flower onto its stem. We add wide leaves to the central stem-leg. It turns out to be a very beautiful stem-bouquet made of paper.

How to make a layer flower

WITH ASSYMETRICAL petals.

But in the photo below we see from what shape the layers are used to create an ORCHID paper flower with your own hands.

In a glass of water add a drop of green paint– we get light green water. We wet the white parts of the orchid with this water; they become white-green (just like in nature).

Further while the pale green petals are still wet, we apply lines of purple paint on them - on wet paper the lines themselves blur slightly - we get an uneven, blurry color (exactly like a real orchid).

The middle part of the orchid - upper layer We also make it green... and along the very edge (right along the cut of the paper) we paint it bright purple. Thus, when we lift this top layer up, the purple edges stick out with their color upward, imitating the position and color of the furry central petals of an orchid.

The same principle is used to create various asymmetrical flowers-crafts. Let's remember what other flowers do not have circular symmetry in their cup... that's right, these are PANSIES (photo below).

1. Lower layer of blue petals (total 2 pieces with location in the upper direction).
2. After blue layer petals (also 2 pieces spread out to the sides).
3. And the third top layer in the form just one white petal.
4. Then we smear the central part of the flower with yellow color, and draw the central lines with a pencil. We make yellow stamen balls from crumpled paper (or from plasticine).

A simple DIY craft that even a child can do. The main thing is to prepare templates in advance that the child will trace on colored paper.

Volumetric puff flower

made of THIN paper.

We do such techniques as “different layer sizes” and “work on folding the relief on paper petals” only when we use ordinary THICK COLORED PAPER

But if If you make flower crafts from CREPE, CRUMPTED PAPER, then you don’t need to specify the relief there. The texture of the paper itself will allow you to make a fluffy three-dimensional flower.

Moreover, The corrugated structure of the paper allows you not to even bother with getting LAYERS OF DIFFERENT SIZES. That is all layers of the flower can be the same size. The master classes on paper flowers below clearly prove this.

Do you see? All layers of the flower are the same size. We pierce the middle of the layers folded in half with a hole punch (or a needle and thread, or fasten with a stapler). Unfold the flower and fluff its layers into a fluffy pompom. These are very beautiful large paper flowers.

This is perhaps the easiest and lightning fast way to make a flower with your own hands. It turns out big, lush, rich and expressive.

If we choose napkins of two colors and apply them alternating colors, we will get a play of halftones in each layer, and our flower will look like a rose.

You see, in the method below we make identical silhouettes from napkins of two colors (in shape and size like twin brothers). Under the bottom we place a piece of cardboard with two holes (like a button... however, the cardboard can be replaced with a button). And we thread threads into the holes and pierce through all the layers of the napkin. We tie a knot in the middle of the flower and fluff out all the corrugated layers of the craft with our hands.

Think for yourself how you can diversify and complement this airy napkin flower. You can also add border color– to do this, slightly stain the cut out napkin silhouettes along the edges with an office marker.

Turn on your imagination... and let her play around with napkins to her heart's content. There is never a shortage of tea napkins. And suddenly you will give birth to your own designer flower.

And red carnations are made using the same method. Identical round pieces with a jagged edge are also cut out of a napkin - and deep cuts are made into the petal parts. And then they simply overlap each other with a drop of glue in the center... or instead of glue in the center, we pierce them with a stick (there will be a stem on it. A beautiful DIY flower craft for dad on February 23, or on Victory Day for grandpa.

And Lingeri terry daffodils are made using exactly the same principle as carnations (in the step-by-step lesson above). This is what they are like in nature – lush and voluminous.

Spring flowers made of paper are a good gift for mom on March 8th. And now you will find out how easy it is to make them yourself.

And here's how to make them from dyed paper napkins. We place a stack of napkins on top of each other - fold them into quarters - into a triangle - cut the edges with a jagged semicircle. We paint the top napkins in a bright yellow color, and the middle layers of napkins in a light yellow color, leaving the bottom layer white.

Now about the material. Daffodils are gorgeous, you say, but where can you get these paper colors (pale yellow and bright yellow)? Here, I tell you, there are 2 ways at once - 1) dye white paper napkins 2 shades of yellow... or 2) get a pale shade of yellow from bright yellow crepe crepe paper.

INSTRUCTION No. 1. How to dye a white paper napkin.

ANSWER: We paint the napkin in a straightened form with tinted water. Dye some water in a glass and pour it onto a straightened napkin. We wait for the napkin to dry naturally (about a day).

INSTRUCTION No. 2. How to make light yellow from bright yellow crepe paper.

ANSWER: Take yellow crepe paper - put it on a wet towel - put a dry white napkin on top. We iron it with an iron - the bright crepe paper gives up its moisture to the dry napkin, and along with the moisture it partially gives off its color. And we already get PALE YELLOW crepe paper. This way we can change the shades of crepe corrugated paper.

As you can see, everything is solvable - if you turn on your head and think... and try to experiment. Knowledge often comes through experience (even if this path is messy). One bad experience can give rise to several ideas at once. I somehow wet the crepe paper and ruined the craft, but then I saw that when it gets wet, the crepe paper loses its color. And one day I spilled water for washing brushes on a paper napkin - and it turned a delicate, even color. So out of two jambs - I got 2 experiences in changing color for delicate and thin paper textures.

Well, this was all just about the FIRST METHOD of making paper flowers with your own hands. I deliberately made this first chapter of our article so extensive and detailed so that you immediately understand a simple and important truth:

Even one single design can have MULTIPLE CONTINUATIONS... numerous variations... endless designs. And you yourself can become the author - and create your own paper flower, made in the same way of “shaped layers superimposed on each other” ».

Now let's look at the next way to make flowers from colored paper with your own hands.

METHOD No. 2

Paper flowers

TWISTED INTO A TUBE.

We have been familiar with this method of creating flowers since childhood. We all made classic flower crafts at school or kindergarten. for February 23 - red carnations made of crumpled crepe paper. They twisted a strip of paper around a toothpick, wrapped a piece of green paper around the twist, and fluffed a bunch of flower panicles.

And it never occurred to us that inside this primitive method there was hidden a recipe for more than just the humble clove.

This method " twisting crepe paper into a roll" can give birth to completely different three-dimensional and flat flowers. It all depends on how we changed the SHAPE OF THE EDGE OF THE PAPER STRIP. Depending on its pattern, we will get paper flowers that are completely different in design.

Here's photo proof. Do you see?

Different regions produce different flowers– disheveled aster, neat chamomile, chrysanthemums. Even roses can be made in this way (but roses will be discussed in a separate article - in detail and in detail, as befits the queen of flowers).

And not only from soft corrugated (crepe) paper you can make craft flowers using this ROLL technique.

Here you go in the photo below - an example of paper flowers in the same roll rolling technique FROM REGULAR THICK COLORED PAPER (office double-sided colored paper).

This is a simple job and very simple instructions.

1. A narrow strip of paper was wound onto a thin rod (or toothpick) (to form the center of the flower).
2. And then to this rolled center they added a winding of a wider tape, already cut along the edge into petal strips.
3. And the petals are folded to the side - like a spreading umbrella.

AND IF YOU ADD A THRUST FOR EXPERIMENT TO THIS SIMPLE TWISTING TECHNIQUE, YOU CAN GET NEW DESIGNS OF PAPER FLOWERS.

For example, what if... You can’t just bend these petals to the sides with a flat, spreading daisy, but slightly twist the tip of each petal inward (as we do with curls in the morning) - and you’ll get a voluminous, lush ASTER.

What if... make a strip for twisting with AREAS OF DIFFERENT WIDTH. We see the result of this idea in the photo diagram below.

1. A narrow strip (1 cm wide) for the middle stamen (wrap it in a tight roll on a toothpick).
2. Next, we wrap a petal strip (with a fringed edge) 2 centimeters wide onto this roll.
3. And then we wind a petal strip 2.5 cm wide...
4. and then a petal strip 3 cm wide.

And thanks to the different widths of the stripes, we will get a roll flower in which the height of the petals increases from the center to the edges.

As you can see, you can and should do EXPERIMENTS with this simple roll technique. Let's continue to encourage our inquisitive mind and decide on another wild idea...

WHAT IF, cut the fringe not straight, but diagonally. And what if... this oblique fringe is not cut along the edge CUT, and along the edge of the FOLD (that is, bend the strip in half along the entire length, and cut this fold line diagonally into a fringe, and then twist it in this form.

We see the result in the photo below - an amazing aster with spirally twisting carved perforated petals. A beautiful flower craft - it looks like a difficult job, but making it with your own hands is simple and quick.

Such shaggy flowers with slanting petals can be used as a shaggy stamen for other flowers.

Like for example in this master class in the photo below. Do you see?

There, too, a bent strip is cut along the OBLIQUE FRINGE... and an orange shaggy stamen is formed - needed to decorate the center of the paper aster.

By the way, the paper aster itself from the photo below is made in a very original and simple way.

1. The base of the aster is a puff (multi-rayed star with chopped rays).
2. Each ray in the puff is bent with a slate ruler into a sharp arrow (like on trousers).
3. The layers are superimposed on each other - we get a lush flower.

And just the stamen inside this voluminous flower is made using the OBLIQUE FRINGE technique, which we just talked about.

This roll equipment can be combine with a regular petal puff (Method No. 1 from this article).. Yes – you can – because it occurs in nature. God himself once came to this idea - and created the Marigold flowers. And we will implement this method of combining a roll and a puff on paper. (see how this is done in the infographic below).

In roll technology the fluffy center of the flower is made. And using the “Puff Puff” technique“The lower petal part of the marigold flower is made of paper (templates with five-leaf silhouettes). Photo instructions for assembling the flower are below.

But here is a rosehip flower - where the stamen and the middle are also combined using the rolling twist technique and 2 petal layers. By the way, you can make them in large sheets of A4 format and stick them on the wall - and your living room will be transformed. Buy a pack of red office paper from the stationery store and play interior designer. All the neighbors will come running to gasp with delight.

But here is a flower craft where the roll technique is also used to create a fluffy panicle-stamen, and the side petals are simply glued separately onto the lower layers of the fluffy panicle-stamen.

You get large sunflowers from crepe paper.

Using a similar ROLL-BUNK + INDIVIDUAL PETAS technique, you can also make a daffodil flower with your own hands.

But these flowers, EITHER LILAC OR SALVIA - with a long stem of inflorescences, are also made using the roll technique.

Yes, yes, this is also a regular roll technique, with the only difference being that the strip of paper is not rolled into a tube, but wrapped around in a spiral roll around a long stick.

Here in the photo below is a master class of this lush paper flower.

1. A wide strip of crepe (corrugated) paper cut into long fringe.
2. We wrap the fringes on a toothpick(or a knitting needle) - and we get curls along one edge of the ribbon.
3. We take a long wooden skewer and wrap our paper ribbon with curly fringe around it - the wrapping begins from the upper end of a wooden skewer and goes down in a spiral.
4. We do it under the flower green wrapping skewer and glue wide green leaves to this stem.

Paper rose flowers

FOLDING method.

Using the roll technique, you can quickly roll up a paper rose. We will have a separate article on paper roses. But I will give two master classes right here - because they cover the roll technique of creating flowers.

Here is the first step-by-step paper rose master class. Thick paper is used here, and in order for the petal parts to have the geometry of broken pink petals, this thick paper strip needs to be PUMPED AND TWISTED around itself during the process of rolling into a roll.

And don't pay attention to these centimeters... Just take it the very essence this instruction. Cut a strip of paper from the draft and try to twist it into a rose, simply bending the strip as God wishes - the paper itself will tell you where to bend and turn it.

You will find many other options for making a paper rose from different types of paper in the article

And here's another way Roll up a roll of paper so that it looks like a rose. For such a roll, we need a paper strip NOT IN A STRAIGHT SHAPE, but to make a strip of paper IN THE SHAPE OF A SPIRAL.

Enough for this draw a snail on a piece of cardboard(uneven curve, no matter what). This drawn spiral will be the template for our paper flower.

Now this spiral line needs to be cut and then start twisting the roll NOT FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE SPIRAL... but rather FROM ITS EDGE. And a paper rose will appear in our hands by itself.

My advice, do not use glazed slippery glossy paper for this rose craft.– such an elastic rose will strive to turn around or the spiral circles will slip out of the flower’s bed. It is better to choose rough paper or not very thick cardboard - this way the rose will better hold its shape.

Paper flowers

Method No. 3

Using the POMPOM technique.

Here's an even faster way to create a fluffy, voluminous flower. It is made using the pompom technique - from corrugated crepe paper

This technique is good because it allows you to very quickly make large flowers from paper - since crepe paper is sold in large rolls (like wallpaper). And each roll can turn into a large flower for holiday decoration.

The master class in the photo below shows how to make such a lush paper flower with your own hands. We fold a wide (20 cm wide) ribbon several times to create many layers. We cut the folded ribbon into fringe from TWO EDGES, leaving the middle intact.

We fluff the fringe of the flower in all directions - achieving the shape of a perfect circle. And we decorate the central part of the flower with a wad of black paper - and the flower resembles a disheveled poppy.

As you understand, the height of the petals depends on the length of the fringe. And the shape of the petals depends on the shape of the fringe.

Below (paper flower master class) we make anemones using exactly the same pompom technique. The difference is that we slightly changed the shape of the fringe - it’s not even a cut fringe at all, but just a beautiful curly petal edge of the napkin.

As a result, the fluffy flower no longer becomes a poppy - but a delicate anemone made of paper.

Is it absolutely possible? do not change the edge shape- that is, do not cut it or fringe it at all. Leave it flat, as it is on a napkin. Just lightly color it with a marker.

And using the same technique, we make a pompom flower with our own hands. They pinched it with wire, folded it in half, fluffed it up and got a carnation on a wire stem.

It remains to add elements from green paper - receptacle(wrap a jagged roll around the flower bowl), stalk(long green strip for wrapping the stem of the flower), leaves (long oval ones glued to the stem).

You can also make this pom-pom flower two-color with a center of a different color (see photo below). To do this, we need paper strips of two colors - one wide (yellow), and the second 2 times narrower (black).

We prepare the strips - first we cut a wide strip onto a double-sided fringe (or a patterned edge on both sides), then we make patterned edges on both sides on a narrow strip.

To make a patterned petal edge– you need to fold the strip into an accordion (as fans were made in childhood) and make a rounding on both sides of this folded fan with scissors.

After unfold the strips and put a narrow black stripe to the middle of the wide yellow stripe. We fold them again like an accordion (this time two-color).

We tie it with twine or wire. And we unfold the sides of the fan in a circle - a flower is formed. If desired, the center of the flower can be decorated with crumpled paper or cut fringe, glued between the blades of the black center.

And here is a master class that shows how to make a paper pom-pom flower WITH A FRINGED stamen with your own hands (photo instructions below).

The principle of creating this flower from paper of two colors is the same as in the previous master class. Only here the middle strip is shredded on both sides into small fringes. This is another way to make large flowers using crepe paper.

Method No. 4

Paper flowers

Twisted on a ball.

Here's another way to create flowers from crimped crepe paper.

To make such paper flowers you need wide short strips of crepe paper and balls of different sizes (lollipops, balls). We place the ball on the strip and hug the ball with the strip on both sides - we twist the tails and ends of the strip into a tight flagellum. Carefully remove the ball, trying not to crush the inflated petal template. We make several of these petals and collect them into a lush flower.

Using the same principle, rounded crocus petals are made from corrugated paper (photo below). Here you need a longer paper strip - it is placed on the ball with one half. The other half twists at the top of the ball and goes back behind the back of the ball and lies on top of its first half. The result is a rounded petal.

If you put these petals close to each other, you will get a cup of a closed crocus flower (as in the photo below). Excellent craft-flowers for March 8th for mom.

You can make a lot of bouquets from crepe corrugated paper. Including bouquets of sweets.

Method No. 5

FLOWERS made of paper

Using ORIGAMI technique.

And now we will talk about folding flowers from paper - without any cutting with scissors. That is, about the art of origami.

The first model is flowers with conical petals. They are so handsome. Each petal of such a flower is made from a simple square of paper. Using simple origami technique.

All the finished petals are glued to each other - and a beautiful rhinestone-stone is placed in the center of the gluing.

These craft flowers are very easy and quick to make yourself – and they look very elegant on gift wrapping. You can even decorate a Christmas tree with them.

As soon as you pick up a square of paper and look at the master class below, you will immediately make the same petal. It’s very simple – you start doing it and you understand everything along the way. And you are surprised that this is not taught in kindergarten - everything is so simple and accessible to the common person. After module 10, when the entire pattern of the flower has already been absorbed into your subconscious, your hands do everything almost blindly - automatically.

If you take a roll of plain wallpaper as paper and cut it into large squares, you can get large-sized flowers to decorate a room or decorate a home celebration.

And also due to the fact that these flowers have the shape of a CONE, it is convenient to collect them into one common large ball. And use it as a pendant. Or as a crown for a decorative tree (which is usually used to decorate weddings).

Here is a master class on a large water lily and paper folding techniques without cutting.

But here is an interesting method where the petal modules are made separately, and then each module is not glued, but simply inserted into the grooves of the adjacent module.

These handmade paper flowers can be an excellent craft for any occasion. You can now make paper flowers using different techniques and teach it to your children. You can use these ideas for holiday decorations or for activities in the Skillful Hands group. Such flowers are suitable as crafts for the Spring competition at school or kindergarten. Or these flowers can be a gift for mom on March 8th - a bouquet of paper flowers made by yourself.
Lots of simple ideas for children's crafts on the theme of flowers you will find in our other articles:

Happy crafting!

Equipment : text material about the “White Flower” holiday, literary works about mercy, a video about historical events, paper for children’s creativity.

Location : cool room.

Progress of the lesson

1.Organizational moment

2.Teacher's word.

Today we will talk about the holiday of charity and mercy “White Flower”, which a century ago took place throughout Russia. We are talking about the holiday, but it becomes sad when we realize that there are people who are left alone with their misfortune. Without our help, they may simply die. But without thinking about this, without good deeds, without helping the weak, the word “mercy” will turn out to be empty, just a worn-out metaphor, but if you think about it, this is the most important thing that makes us human.

What is “mercy”? How do you understand the meaning of this word?.....

Mercy is the mercy of the heart, compassion, care, love... Someone else's pain, someone else's misfortune, someone else's loss, someone else's fall - that's what it is addressed to. It cannot be manifested either with the mind or with words.

The idea of ​​White Flower Day was born in Switzerland. In 1908, young men and girls with shields strewn with white daisy flowers first appeared on the streets of Geneva. The sale of the white flower as an emblem of the fight against tuberculosis brought income to anti-tuberculosis organizations.

Soon the idea of ​​the “White Daisy” reached Russia, and already in the spring of 1911 the first White Flower Day was held in St. Petersburg. The campaign to sell daisies as an emblem of the fight against tuberculosis was very successful. By decree of Emperor NicholasII, who spent large personal sums on charity, the Russian League against Consumption was created in St. Petersburg.

At this time, public and private charity became a ubiquitous phenomenon in Russia, not in words, but in deeds, proving the breadth of the great soul. The era knew many bright merchants and selfless patrons of the arts, thanks to whom new hospitals, schools, theaters, art galleries, museums, libraries, and sanatoriums appeared.

Nowadays, White Flower Day is being revived. It is gradually gaining popularity and, since 2000, has already been held several times in many cities of Russia: Kursk, Voronezh, Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Uglich, etc. Today, the problem of combating tuberculosis is not as acute as it is was a century ago, so modern White Flower Days are dedicated to raising funds for the treatment of low-income patients.

Mercy, sincerity of relationships, reckless manifestation of nobility, self-sacrifice have always characterized the breadth of the Russian soul. For Christians, it is obligatory for every merciful person to: feed the hungry, give drink to the suffering, clothe the naked, receive the traveling. Good advice and words of consolation can be a manifestation of spiritual mercy. Those people who happily share knowledge with others, endure grief and evil, but always know how to forgive, are considered merciful. Mercy is based on such qualities as attentiveness, caring and benevolence. Mercy is shown only with the heart! The desire to do something kind and good first arises in him with a quiet knock.

3. Discussion of a work about mercy.

“Mercy” by B. Ganago

Dima walked down the street, holding tightly to my mother's hand. It was a sunny, frosty day. The trees, as if in a fairy tale, are fluffy and weightless! The snow creaked underfoot. True, the frost slightly pinched his nose and cheeks, but Dima was cozy and warm in a fur jacket and boots. The scarlet stripe on his jacket and the dark scarf gave him the appearance of a bullfinch. Moreover, he walked, jumping for joy. Dima was having fun - either because it was Sunday, and he had done his homework yesterday, or because his dad gave him a new toy.

In general, he was in the best mood. Mom stopped for a minute. Dima involuntarily admired the young silver birch tree against a blue background, and when he took his eyes off it, it was as if he had plunged into summer. Red, orange, and yellow spots glowed in front of him - trays of fruit. The red-cheeked aunts hung these little pieces of summer in bags that rustled and jingled from the frost.

Red apples, as if rubbed with wax, fragrant oranges and tangerines, insidious lemon! Dima even began to salivate. Mom, as if she had read his thoughts, confidently headed towards the tray. A few minutes later the boy was happily watching the fruit move from the boxes into the rustling bag. He already imagined how he would make a flower out of an orange at home, and how beautiful the apples would look in a vase on the table.

Suddenly Dima’s dreams were interrupted by an old voice. Some old woman, touching him, extended her hand to the saleswoman and asked:

– Honey, please give me an apple. I'm very hungry. I haven't eaten anything yet today and I feel like I'm about to fall over. I feel bad...

Dima did not hear what his aunt answered. Without looking away, he looked at the old woman, at her withered, trembling hand. An old, worn coat, something that even in his childhood could not be called shoes. The old lady's head was bandageda black scarf, from under which another white one peeked out.

Dima involuntarily remembered his grandmother Nastya. She also always wore two scarves in winter. He imagined her kind, radiant eyes, the warmth of her hands, the hot stove that treated them to fluffy pancakes.

A tear ran down the old woman’s cheek and was lost in the wrinkles that thickly carved her face.

For a moment, Dima thought it was Grandma Nastya - chilled, in rags, hungry and lonely. The boy was still looking at the old woman, who decided to try her luck with another seller, and his hand was already reaching for the bag and feeling for an apple and oranges. Yeah, it looks like it’s a lemon, or maybe it’s a tangerine.

Dima pulled out as much as he could fit in his childish little hands and handed it to her. Their eyes met. He almost whispered:

– Here, take it, please!

Tears sparkled in his eyes. The boy rushed to his mother, pressed herself against her, then pulled her hand:

– Let's go quickly!

Having walked away a little, the boy turned around. The old woman was still standing in the same place. She hid the fruit in her pocket, leaving only a red, pot-bellied apple in her hand. Dima saw her cross herself and smile at something. The boy took a breath and walked slowly with his mother.

He now knew that there were people living nearby who needed not only sunlight, but also the warmth of their neighbors. And how great it is that he, Dima, can help them in some way.

7. Summary of the lesson. Children read the poem.

Poem (Faina Milovanova, Lidia Myasnikova)

Mercy in my understanding -

This is affection, love, compassion.

This is to help a tired mom

This is to visit grandma.

And overcome your resentment,

And forgive the one who offended.

This is to feed the birds and cats.

And water the flowers on the window.

To love every living thing in the world,

And regret, and appreciate, and forgive.

Joins the All-Russian campaign “White Flower”, which dates back to 2000, and gradually became popular in many cities of our country. Vyaza joined the “White Flower” campaign quite recently, and according to official sources, it will be held in our city today - 14th of April, Tomorrow - April 15, 20 April And May 8. The purpose of the White Flower campaign is to raise funds for the treatment of sick children, when citizens donate a certain amount of money to a good cause by buying a flower.

By the way, the “White Flower” charity event has nothing to do with Easter or other religious holidays. And to find out how this act of mercy arose, you should turn to the history of the appearance of the White Flower charity event in Russia.

History of the White Flower promotion

At the end of the 19th century, the European League against Consumption appeared in Europe, which came up with the idea of ​​the “Flower Day”. By the beginning of the 20th century, the “Days of Flowers” ​​were supported by many European royal houses, including the House of Romanov, where Empress Alexandra Feodorovna and the Grand Duchesses participated in all charitable events, helping the sick, raising funds to fight the greatest problem of that time - consumption.

By 1914, the Flower Holiday had become very popular in Russia among all segments of the population. They prepared for it in advance, made flowers and handed them over to the White Flower committees for the celebration. When buying a bouquet of flowers, the donor gave as much as he could for it. The flower did not have a specific price, and this seemed to emphasize that for charity and helping the sick, it is not a certain amount of money that is important, but every penny that the donor gives from the bottom of his heart.

Vyazma was no exception, and according to many surviving sources, charity in our city in ancient times was carried out not only by merchants who built churches with their savings and opened hospitals, but also by other classes living in Vyazma. After all, it was not for nothing that before the events of 1917 Vyazma was a city in no way inferior, and even superior, in terms of living standards to the regional center.

White flower how to make

Based on the content, the action pursues several goals at once. First of all, it provides an opportunity to raise funds to provide comprehensive medical and social support to children with serious and incurable diseases. Drawing the attention of society and the state to the problems of these children is the most important task of the action.

Its equally important goal is to convey to people the idea that every person, regardless of age and financial situation, can help their neighbor, who at this moment is in pain, lonely and difficult. A healthy child can make a paper flower and thereby give hope to a sick child. White color has always been considered a symbol of purity, hope and renewal..

The Borovichka students, with the help of their parents, made crafts for the event. There were both huge flowers and miniature flowers, but each was imbued with a bright feeling of wishes for health and joy.

We call on all residents of our beautiful city to unite and give children with serious illnesses hope for a new life. On Saturday, September 29, a charity event will take place in the Catherine Garden at the monument. Accept a white flower from the volunteers and donate the amount you choose. Show by example how easy and important it is to do good deeds.
