VOLUMETRIC PAPER FLOWER

Send

The development of fine motor skills is always useful for both adults and children. Therefore, this type of creative work, such as creating a 3d flower from paper, will have a beneficial effect on fine motor skills. Well, a bonus is still useful somewhere else, as an option, as a regular craft to a child in a kindergarten or school. Therefore, stock up on a good mood and create with your child. And step by step photos will help you with this.
Where to start? It's simple: from finding the paper from which you plan to make a flower. You can choose colored paper of any color, or you can simply use white square tear-off sheets.

Such sheets will need only 12 pieces. Divide these sheets into 3 groups of 4 each. Then it is necessary to cut out respectively 12 circles of different diameters: 4 pieces of the largest, 4 more pieces of medium size, and the last 4 circles of the smallest diameter.
Determine the size of the circles yourself. It will depend on what size flower you need. In this workshop, paper squares of 7 cm in size were used, so the maximum diameter of the largest circles did not exceed 7 cm, respectively.
It must be clarified that if you decide not to use tear-off square sheets, but a whole sheet of colored or white paper, then you just need to cut 12 circles of different diameters on it: 4 circles of each size.
To cut circles at home, in the absence of a compass, you can use, for example, mugs of different sizes, and even a glass for small circles.
In general, there are many options, most importantly, the result should be such a group of 12 circles:

Then it's time to move on to turning these paper circles into flower petals. To do this, each circle must be folded in half.

Then again in half:

And again in half:

From the resulting piece, you need to cut the petals. To do this, just draw a contour along which you will then cut.

On a cut blank, it is necessary to make a cut almost to the center:

Then the entire workpiece must be deployed, simultaneously making cuts at the junction. The result should be this:

For greater beauty of the flower, you can make the tips of the petals contrasting. Any colored pencil or paint will help. And even a five-year-old child will cope with this task (verified and approved by this master class).

Such a "transformation of a white circle into a beautiful petal" must be repeated with each workpiece of all sizes. The result should be like this:

Now you can begin the process of directly assembling the flower. At this stage, everything is simple: you need to glue all the workpieces from larger to smaller. Glue only the central part of the petals. In the end, you get such a "semi-finished" 3d chrysanthemum:

Why is "prefabricated"? Because in this chrysanthemum there is not enough core. To make it, you need to take a strip of paper 1-1.5 cm wide and cut a sort of "fence" on one side along the entire length.
