A bouquet of fresh flowers totally changes the look of a room, but also a vase with artificial flowers, if they are well made, can look sensational. Here are some types of flowers that you can make at home:
ALMOST REAL ROSES
What you need: white crepe paper, a heat-resistant bowl, a brush, acrylic paints in various shades of red and yellow, glue for paper, a spray bottle and a microwave.
What you have to do: first cut the petals with the paper striations on vertical, for a more realistic look. Put the bowl upside down and wet it with water using the sprayer.
Then stick the petals and with a brush color in different shades, darker and lighter, the pieces of paper. Spray water to mix colors evenly.
Put the bowl into the microwave for two, maximum three minutes to dry the petals.
To obtain a bigger flower, first you must roll a few of the petals and place them side by side sticking them with glue to the base. Then put one by one the petals until you get the desired rose.
EASY TO MAKE PETUNIAS
What you need: paperboard any color you want, preferably orange or yellow, scissors, glue, green paper scotch and green wire.
What you have to do: cut the paper into thin strips along its length as shown above. Then roll the paper and stick the layers at the base with glue. Then wrap in the paper scotch creating the bulb of the flower. Insert the wire to make the stem of the flower.
Finally, open by hand the flower petals. You can use multiple colors in one bouquet.
ROMANTIC ROSES
What you need: pink paper, glue, scissors and some wire.
What you have to do: cut the paper into square pieces, fold the paper two times each, so that you get a triangle. Round with scissors the base of the triangle.
For the first row of petals, remove with scissors a triangle (a petal), for the second, two triangles, and for the third, three.
On a wire bent in two, on which it’s good that you have passed a bead at halfway, insert the petals by coiling them.
Then bend the petals so that you get a very delicate rose.
