DIY napkin flowers: instructions for beginners
Step 1:
To begin, cut the napkin into two parts, as shown in the photo. When you unfold the napkins, you should end up with a rectangle, not a square. If you want to make voluminous flowers, you will need a napkin consisting of several layers.
Step 2:
Place the napkins on top of each other and begin accordion folding. The smaller the accordion step, the more beautiful your flower will turn out. Using multi-layer napkins, you will get lush flowers that will look like real ones.
Just follow our step-by-step instructions and you will definitely succeed!
Step 3:
In the central part, tie the accordion with wire or thread and cover the top with a piece of napkin to hide it.
Step 4:
Using scissors, trim the edges of the napkins to form petals. If you wish, you can also make the edges of the petals of different shapes: triangular, semicircular, etc.
Step 5:
Let's start straightening the petals. Start shaping your flower from the top layers, gradually lifting each layer and creating a bud shape. Leave the last layer even so that the flower can stand on a flat surface and take on the shape of a water lily.
This is what a beautiful pink peony looks like, made at home.
Ready! Now all that remains is to repeat until the flower arrangement is ready.
Let's return to the beginning of our material - the walls. Try decorating the walls in your room with the resulting colors. You can also make leaves for the flowers using the same tissue paper, wire and glue. Of course, it is better to use green for leaves, but you can show your imagination and surprise your guests!

Master class on creating flowers from napkins with your own hands
We will tell you about the easiest way to make such cute crafts.
To work you will need a paper napkin, scissors, thread, glue and a tube for the stem if necessary.
First, carefully align the edges of the napkin. Fold the napkin in half. Then we make an accordion out of it: we bend the edge of the napkin by one centimeter, then we bend the next centimeter of the napkin in the other direction, we bend the next centimeter in the same direction, then the first and so on until we get the accordion effect.
We flatten the accordion, determine the middle of the napkin and tie it with thread.
For a more interesting look, round the edges of the napkin with scissors.
Now let's fluff the flower. If you have small children, then this moment will give them a lot of pleasure. They are delighted by the transformation of a piece of paper into a fluffy flower. If you just created a flower, then place it on a stem (a cocktail tube or skewer) and glue it. You can also glue it to a paper box to create a gift wrap for a gift.
You can also make a rose from napkins:
The rose always looks beautiful and is made quite quickly. To work, you need a simple single-layer napkin. Divide the napkin into four parts, which will be rose petals. To prevent the napkins from losing their decent appearance during operation, they must be dense and of high quality.
Fold the other napkins diagonally. The edges of the resulting triangles should be bent.
After this, we place the core on the triangle and wrap it with the free ends of the triangle. At the same time, we give the flower the required shape. Fix the resulting figure with thread.
We work in the same way with the rest of the blanks. Using this technique, you can make roses of various sizes and textures.
For the stem, you can use a wire wrapped in a napkin. You need to glue the napkins together with paper glue.
This flower can be used both in a composition and separately.
Trying to make your own flower bouquet for a gift
You can make a more complex version of flowers from napkins. In order for you to do everything correctly, we offer step-by-step instructions for making such a flower.
This flower can look great in a flower pot and as an accessory in your interior. Such a flower will be irreplaceable when decorating a banquet hall.
You will need: stapler, glue, napkins, bouquet base, scissors.
Draw a circle in the middle of the napkin and cut it out. Depending on the size of the base, flowers can be of different sizes. To give our bouquet a more interesting look, we outline the edges of the cut out circle with a red felt-tip pen.
Then cut out the circle.
We staple the circle in the middle.
We received a flower blank. Now let's start designing it.
From the middle, lift each layer of napkin as shown in the photo.
By lifting all the layers of the napkin, you will get a flower like this.
You need to make several of these flowers. To make enough for a bouquet, you will need 16 pieces.
Next we work with the base of the bouquet. This could be a simple foam ball. You can make the base yourself. To do this, make a ball out of newspapers, crumple them, tie it with threads, and the base is ready. You can also use a foam base. If you plan to hang your ball as an interior decoration, then you need to make a ribbon at the base in advance.
