1. Pink rose
A charming stemmed rose can be a great decoration for an interior or a festive table. And it is very simple to make it - you just need a napkin and manual dexterity.
Unfold the napkin completely and place it on the table. Fold one edge a couple of centimeters towards the center. Now roll the napkin, but not tight - the roll should be free. Twist the bud at the base tightly with your fingers.
Start shaping the stem by twisting the material to about half the length of the stem. Spread the napkin a little, forming a leaf, and then twist it to the end. The rosette is ready!
2. Tulip
To make beautiful tulips from napkins, in addition to the main material, you will need plastic spoons (4 pcs for each flower) and green napkins for the formation of leaves.
The napkin needs to be divided into four parts, then wrap a spoon with each of them, as shown in the photo. First, fold the two spoons face-to-face, rewind with tape. We also attach the remaining two spoons to the composition and fix.
Now you need to cut out several large leaves from a green napkin and wrap the blank with them. Make many of these tulips and make a bouquet, tie it with a decorative ribbon.
3. Lotus
A lotus flower from a napkin will be a pleasant decoration for any festive table. Made of bright material, these flowers on saucers will certainly attract attention, emphasizing your serving skills.
You can fold a lotus flower from a napkin using the origami technique. Spread the napkin on the table, fold the corners to the center and turn it over. Now fold the corners again, but don't flip.
Next, you need to gently pick up each of the corners from below and straighten, holding the inner part so that it does not turn around. The flower is ready! As you can see, making a lotus from a napkin is not at all difficult.
4. Carnation
Carnation is a universal flower that is presented to both the fairer sex and the strong half of humanity. Having collected a bouquet of these beautiful flowers, you can make a luxurious bouquet.
For one clove, you will need 7-8 red napkins, a twig (stem) or a stick for balloons. All napkins must be fully unfolded, placed on top of each other and cut with cloves on two opposite edges of the stack.
Fold the entire stack with an accordion, tie it in the middle with soft wire and attach the blank to the future stem. Now separate each napkin one by one, lift it to the middle and straighten it. As a result, you will get a beautiful lush bud!

5. Dandelion
Having learned how to make a fluffy dandelion, you and your child can arrange a spring meadow for the nursery. Prepare yellow napkins, scissors and a stapler.
One napkin is enough for one dandelion. Fold it in four and staple it in the center with a stapler. Now cut off the edges to make the workpiece round. For believability, you can use curly scissors. Now start forming the flower - each layer of the napkin needs to be lifted, well pressed to the center, and then the petal should be spread.
When you and your baby have made enough of these dandelions, paint a Whatman paper green and glue them on. You can decorate the craft with butterflies, bugs and other small inhabitants cut out of colored paper.
6. Poppy
Poppy is a stunningly beautiful flower.We are all used to seeing it with scarlet leaves, but few people know that poppies are pink, white, yellow and even purple.
Cut some red napkins into quarters and shape into petals. The middle is formed from a dark strip, cut into a fringe, as well as a light one, twisted into a ball or roll. Now all the components need to be glued.
Following our scheme, you can make a beautiful applique. If you want to decorate the room with a vase with variegated poppies, you will need a wire on which the bud will "sit" and a green napkin for wrapping and forming the leaves.
7. Peony
To make a voluminous peony, you will need several identical napkins - the more, the more magnificent the flower will be.
Unfold the napkins and stack on top of each other. Now you need to form an accordion out of them and tie it tightly in the central part with a thread. Using scissors, cut the ends of the workpiece so that they become round.
Now, in turn, lift each layer up, first on one side, and then on the other, until you form a voluminous bud. You can decorate gift wrapping with such wonderful peonies or use them as a decorative element in the interior.

8. Lush yellow rose
To craft this rose, you need a yellow napkin. To make a full-fledged rose with leaves, prepare another green napkin and thread.
Unfold the yellow napkin and carefully divide it in two. Each of the parts must be wound around a pencil, leaving a few centimeters in stock, and squeezed towards the center.
Take off the rolls and form a bud out of them, as shown in the photo, and twist the hanging canvases, pressing tightly with your fingers. Wrap the bud with a green napkin and tie it with a thread so that it does not disintegrate.
9. Red rose in full bloom
To make a beautiful scarlet rose with a blossoming bud, you will need two large napkins (about 20x20 cm). Cut each piece into four pieces and fold them together. Secure the middle with a stapler or thread.
From the resulting square of napkins, you need to form a circle by cutting off the edges with scissors. Now, in turn, each layer needs to be raised and formed a petal, giving it a wavy shape.
To make the rose even more lush, take more napkins for work. You can decorate the interior with beautiful buds or make an adornment for a dress.
10. Sprig of mimosa
Mimosa is a beautiful delicate flower that decorates bouquets for spring holidays. However, you can prolong the contemplation of this beauty by making a sprig of mimosa from napkins with your own hands. This can be a wall panel or a volumetric plant that you put in a vase in your living room.
First, you have to work hard to form many flowers, each of which is made from a narrow strip of napkin, cut with "weed". Next, you need to cut a green napkin in the form of leaves with fluffy edges. You don't need a stem for applique, but to make a bouquet, you need a wire - wrap it with a green napkin, attach the leaves, and cover it with a lot of flowers.
11. Lily
Make an elegant napkin lily for the festive table. Complement it with bright flowers, also made of napkin material or other decorations, because it has an unusual stand shape, so you can dream up.

12. Chamomile
In this way, you can make a voluminous chamomile, decorate a gift box with it or make a bouquet. For making, you will need 8-9 white (preferably two-layer) napkins, one yellow, a little cotton and a thread.
The white napkin must be folded in half, twisted several times in the center, forming a butterfly. Then we fold the "wings" and collect them at the bottom - we get a petal. We do the same with all the other white napkins.
We make the middle of the flower from the yellow material - put a piece of cotton in the middle and wrap it. Next, we tie each petal with a thread to the yellow middle. Lush chamomile is ready!
