This master class will teach you how to make gladiolus flowers from paper with your own hands.
Today we invite you to master one of the most interesting techniques for creating a gladiolus from paper!
So, let's prepare everything you need for work:
- crepe paper fuchsia tone;
- green crepe-paper;
- thread;
- scissors;
- a ballpoint pen or a soft pencil;
- glue;
- a piece of wire 25-30 cm in length.
Step 1 First we will create the petals of the large flowers. To do this, we need to cut a strip of 7-8 cm wide from a roll of crepe paper.
Let's divide it into two even parts.
On any segment, draw the outline of the petal with a pen. Then we cut out the blanks along the contour.
Step 2 Set aside the top petal with the outline, and give the remaining petals a realistic shape. .
To do this, take the petal by the upper and lowerpart and begin to stretch it to the sides. We carry out this stage of work very carefully so as not to tear the thin petal blank. Step 3 Wrap a piece of wire with green crepe paper. Be sure to fix the end of the tape with glue, otherwise the tape may unwind during operation.
Step 4 Now we will make several small unopened gladiolus buds. We will need this piece of crepe paper.
Fold the part several times. We twist the ribbon once in the center.
Then we fold the ends together and secure them securely with thread.
Step 5 Next, we will do the same manipulations with a piece of green crepe paper.
Step 6 Place the first fuchsia-colored piece in the middle of the green blank.
We close the second end of the workpiece and wrap it with thread so that the buds do not lose their shape.
If you can't make such voluminousparts, then first create several balls of crepe paper, and only then attach blanks twisted in the center to them. Step 7 We also create one small blank from green crepe paper.
In the future we will place it at the top of the stem.Step 8 When all the unopened buds are ready, we begin to form the main buds. We connect the first two petals in this way, twisting their base with our fingers.
Next, carefully attach three more petals. We should get such a voluminous bud.
Step 9 Give each bud blank the correctform. Let's make the inflorescences that will be located at the top of the stem half-open. The lower flowers must be fully open; to do this, you need to turn all the petals outward.
Step 10 We begin to attach all the inflorescences to the stem using crepe tape. We attach the smallest bud first.
Below are all the rest.
After the small unopened buds, we add large flowers.
Step 11 The gladiolus branch is almost ready, all that remains is to create a few leaves. We cut them out from green crepe paper.
Next, we attach them one by one to the bottom of the peduncle.
That's all, the paper gladiolus is ready!






To make a sachet we need to take:
For the first heart we need to cut out forI started using paper templates. The back part of the heart is whole, the front part has a heart-shaped slot. The canvas fabric will be visible at this point. Due to its looseness, it will transmit the aroma of the filler quite well.
We transfer the outline to the material and cut out the necessary parts.
We choose a contrasting color of thread and sew the parts together with stitches, first the front part, and then the entire heart.
It's time to fill our sachet with aromas! I use coffee beans. We fill our hearts with them. You can detail them a little more, so the coffee will become even more aromatic.
Decorate the heart with a bow made of jute thread.
That's all – simple and original, and whataroma! This sachet can be hung in a room or even in a car. And the smell of coffee not only fills the room with a pleasant aroma, but also neutralizes extraneous unpleasant odors. We cut out the second heart from canvas fabric. It will look rustic. We tie it with single crochet tables with white thread. We knit the second row with arches of air loops – 3 chain stitches and a single crochet, skipping one loop of the previous row.
The heart looks very gentle and elegant, and most importantly, environmentally friendly. Fill the heart with coffee beans, decorate with jute thread and coffee beans.
These are the wonderful aromatic hearts we got.
