Mimosa from paper by yourself: a master class

Of all the flowers, most of all, children and adults like to make a mimosa. These yellow little balls with green "branchy" leaves create unusual bouquets, postcards, paintings. Spring flowers are embroidered, made of satin ribbons, knit, molded, burned, but the mimosa of paper is especially interesting. With their own hands, children can make individual twigs and even build whole bouquets.

Applications with babies

Babies (1-3 years) do not like to wait, so prepare a small album leaf, cotton wool, finger paints, PVA glue, toothpick (cut corners at once), green two-sided paper (cut into thin strips) in advance.

Now show the child how to make a mimosa with his own hands from cotton wool (you can replace it with a soft napkin). Tearing off a lump, roll with fingers, dip into glue and paste on paper. Once all the balls are glued, place between them a twig-toothpick with leaves. The child will only have finger paints to paint his mimosa.

With children from three to four years practicing rampling techniques. Thanks to it, voluminous mimosas are made from corrugated paper, and children develop small motor skills. Prepare for work yellow, green and brown paper (corrugated, tracing paper or, at most, two-sided color), PVA glue, cardboard. From the brown strip, the children must roll the sausage and paste it in the middle of the leaf. This will be a branch.

Mimosa in the technique of ramping

To her, stick small sausages-branches. Then from the yellow squares (2x2 cm or 1.5x1.5 cm) roll balls. Let the child first crumple a piece of paper, then starts to squeeze to crush the corners and then swipes the fingers with his fingers.

The older the child, the smaller the squares. At once from the green paper cut out the leaves, bend and cut into narrow strips. You glue several leaves to the twigs, you have balls of mimosa on top of them. They can be glued to the second layer.

Between mimosa or on top of it, put a couple more leaves. The background can be painted with colors or pencils. Picture framed, hang on the wall. In this style, you can make mimosa of corrugated paper, like artificial flowers.

To do this, you will need a scoop, green and yellow paper or napkin, copper wire, glue. Cut the wire into small pieces.

The branch of mimosa

Then take a square of napkins, put a wire on it, start to crush the paper, forming a ball. Wrap the paper with green paper. To form lush balls, soak them in the glue, and then dip into the colored yellow semolina. Floral leaves leave to dry, but while doing leaves.

You can draw a leaf by the type of fern and each branch is cut into small strips. Alternatively, cut out an ordinary wide leaf, like a tulip, cut into strips. But there is a third option for making leaves. A long piece of corrugated paper is cut into narrow strips.

Now look, what a twig of mimosa from paper will turn out. Take the skewer, paste on it the edge of the green paper, have a pair of balls, fasten the wire and wrap spirally leaves. If everything is done correctly, then the stripes will look in different directions.

To make the balls look organic, carefully pierce the green paper with wire, and then wrap it with a twig. In some places, you can insert bunches of marbles. To do this, combine several wires with flowers. On this plan, do the other branches, put them in a vase and get a whole bouquet. Such a mimosa made of paper from afar as real.

Flowers in Quilling Technique

In this technique, you can make a mimosa in three ways.

1. A strip of yellow paper is twisted into a tight roll (a circle whose end of the strip is glued). The diameter of such a circle is not more than five millimeters. This type of flowers is suitable for creating small unblown flowers that form the top of a twig.
2. Do also tight roll, which then slightly push forward, forming a cup.
3. A strip of yellow paper is cut into narrow segments. Then wrap it in a tight roll, glue the end, and strip all the shakes well. It was a blossoming flower.

Such a mimosa made of paper with his own hands is easy, but suitable for postcards, vases or paintings. Let's start with creating a flower. On the skewer, wrapped in green corrugated paper, glue flowers, made by the third method. In this case, some balls are strongly fluffed, some retain the shape of the bud. Mimosa glue tightly to each other on the wand from all sides.

Under the flowers you glue the leaves. In this case, a wide long leaf, cut into narrow segments, will go. To add realism, the sheet is bent vertically, and each strip is rounded with scissors or a pencil to create a visual effect of the wind.

Mimosa with tulips

From the paper, beautiful, voluminous pictures are obtained , only they require greater diligence, attentiveness and perseverance. Consider how to make a mimosa made of paper with tulips.

• Prepare the background of the picture by drawing the sky, the sunlight.
• Cut out the vase from the paper or draw with watercolor.
• Prepare a mimosa made in the third way.
• Make a few twigs for the mimosa. To do this, take the green wire, connect it into a twig and wind it with floral tape or a corrugated strip.
• Cut directly the leaves for mimosa and tulip.
• In advance, make a few branches (referring to the mimosa of paper).
• Tulips do as follows. Put squares of paper on each other, roll into the tube to the middle, forming a triangle. Now, each edge is folded to the top of the triangle and twisted into a petal. Fasten the petals to the bud on the stem so that the edges are convex (twisted).
• Collect the tulips on the stem.

Now you have the twigs in the picture and the order of glue. You work in a frame and admire the masterpiece.

Mimosa from paper: we create a miracle by ourselves

Bouquets can be made entirely in the quilling technique. To do this, find a beautiful photo with a vase and print it on the printer. Cut, paste on the base of the picture. To create a volume, sometimes select the fabric according to the color of the vase, cut out its thick foam rubber, tighten it with a cloth, decorate it and glue it to the cardboard.

Next, many fluffy mimosas with leaves are needed. Balls make different sizes, but they must copy real flowers.

Now look how to make a mimosa of paper in the picture. On the canvas with a pencil slightly outline the direction of the branches. Have a trial version of colors without glue. Work with the direction of branches.

Once you liked the option bouquet, take a picture of it and work on it. Start to glue the first layer of flowers and leaves. Then increase the volume due to subsequent layers. Sometimes a ball is inserted between the balls. At the base of the vase, glue more leaves, the bend of which will hide the seams or roughness of the work. Despite its simplicity, the picture of 30x30 centimeters can require a fortnight of work. But the result is staggering with its realism.
