Ordinary paper crafts have one big drawback - the lack of texture and volume. But corrugated sheets for wrapping bouquets or gifts open up a whole new section in home art. Today we will show you 9 step-by-step ideas on how to make beautiful flowers from corrugated paper with your own hands. Take note!
1. Rose
There is nothing easier than making a rose from corrugated paper, and at the same time it will turn out to be very effective. This can be achieved due to the volume and number of petals, so stock up on more paper for large flowers. Unusual shades like light green, blue or lilac look interesting.
For one rose, you will need 11 petals 6.5x3 cm and another 7 pieces 6x3.5 cm. But first, shape the bud - wrap a small paper ball with a stretched corrugated circle. Just glue the stretched and rounded petals one after the other, so that each next one covers the previous one.
2. Simple decorative flowers
Such small flowers are so easy to make that even a child can handle it. They are perfect for decorating packages and cards, homemade bouquets and arrangements - whatever. It is also a good way to attach leftovers of colored corrugated paper, which are not enough for larger crafts.
Cut small multi-colored squares 2x2 cm, although the size can be varied - according to your needs. Stretch the upper edge of the paper as much as possible with your hands so that it is wavy, and the lower edge is curled on the contrary. One flower will take about 3-4 such blanks to make it lush.
3. Chamomile
Delicate field daisies are the best choice for beginners who are just practicing making flowers from corrugated paper. There are no special secrets or complicated techniques here. You just need to properly cut and assemble all the parts, following the master class on the video.
To make a nice volumetric center, roll a small ball of foil and attach it to the stem skewer. Wrap it in yellow corrugated sheet and the same tape. Form the petals from 1x4 cm rectangles of white corrugated paper.

4. Lilac
Lilac is one of the most spring flowers, and the voluminous brushes of its inflorescences always look spectacular. At the same time, the flowers themselves are very simple in shape, so making them out of corrugated paper cannot be easier. All that remains is to fix the lilac scattering on the branch with a thin bead wire and a glue gun.
For the buds, cut a 5 cm wide strip of paper and cut it into small rectangles of only 7 mm each. And for one flower, take a strip 2 cm wide and cut into the same blanks - 7-8 mm each. But keep in mind that you will need a lot of petals and it is better to form each one separately.
5. Tulips with candy
Candy in a box is boring, uninteresting and trite, because even the most pretentious store packaging no longer surprises anyone. But round little candies can be hidden in beautiful corrugated paper tulips!
To make tulip petals, cut a strip 4-5 cm wide, cut in half and fold each half in half. For one flower, you need three such blanks, twisted in the middle. Form curved boat petals and wrap them around the candy that was previously tied to the stem skewer.

6. Opened tulips
Unlike the previous tulip, these buds have already opened. By the way, you can make petals of different shades and collect an outlandish rainbow flower. A simple scheme allows you to do this very easily, without additional complications.
To make a tabletop bouquet, decorate the box with wrapping paper, ribbons, and other decor and fill it with styrofoam. Cut into yellow rectangles 5x2 cm and form the stamens from the fringe.Bend the petals out of 6 colored rectangles 7x2 cm, which need to be slightly rounded and stretched.
7. Daffodils
Daffodils made of corrugated paper are very neat and effective, and from a distance they even resemble real ones. Collect a whole bunch of them or put them in a beautiful flowerpot. Or you can take paper of different colors and make a real flower meadow! In addition to paper and decorative pots, you will need a glue gun, scissors and wire cutters, styrofoam and green sisal.
To fill the pot, cut a piece of Styrofoam to fit. For the stems, take a wire with a diameter of 1 mm and a length of 20 cm.For the stamens, cut the yellow corrugated paper into 5x1.5 cm rectangles.For the middle, you need a yellow rectangle 5x3.5 cm, and for the petals - white 5x2 cm.

Lush and voluminous corrugated paper chrysanthemums can be made in literally 10 minutes and with a minimum amount of glue. This is a very simple technique, but the finished flower looks amazingly impressive. If you still doubt your abilities, feel free to start the bouquet with chrysanthemum!
Cut 6 squares 16x16 cm, stack them neatly and serrate the edges. Do the same with 3 rectangles 16x15 cm and put all the details together. Fold them in a tight accordion, pull tightly with thread or wire in the center. Spread the petals, gently bending, twisting and forming a lush flower.
9. Gladioli
Paper gladioli are quite complex, as for corrugated flowers. But even you can make them with your own hands without experience and special skills. It is enough to practice a little and follow the instructions in the master class exactly! As a result, you will get the branch itself, lush open flowers and elastic half-open buds.
Take a thick wire for a branch, a thin wire for the stems, and a green tape for wrapping. For the petals, cut 20 rectangles 6x5 cm, 10 - 6x4 cm, 15 - 5x3 cm, 6 - 6x3 cm and 9 - 6x1 cm.For leaves and stamens, you need 21 rectangles 5x1.5 cm and 6 pieces 6x1.5 cm.
