How to make large flowers on the wall?
Corrugated (crepe) paper has many advantages: it is easy to find in any needlework store, as well as in clerical departments. Usually it is sold in rolls that do not take up much space when twisted. For crafts, you can choose any color from the many presented in the assortment, while the price of corrugated paper is quite affordable - an average of 70 rubles per roll. It is a pleasure to work with her - she easily takes the necessary form.
Tools and materials:
- Corrugated paper: 7 rectangles 50x80 cm.
- 7 clothes pegs or stationery clips.
- Thin wire (can be found in flower shops).
- Sharp scissors.
Step-by-step instruction:
- We take the first rectangle and bend a line about 4 cm wide. Turn the paper over and bend it again, pressing the edges with your fingers: in other words, we fold the sheet with an accordion. In this way we twist all 7 cuts.
- We fix each workpiece with clothespins.
- We lay out future petals in a row. We cut them so that the diameter of each layer is less than the previous one by about 4 cm.
- Give shape to the petals. They can be made sharp or round.
- We cut each piece to about the middle on both sides:
- We remove the clothespins, straighten the sheets of corrugated paper and put them on top of each other. Fold in one big accordion.
- We bandage the future flower with wire.
- Carefully form the petals, bending them layer by layer up and straightening.
- We continue to separate them from each other, giving volume to the large flower.
- In the process, the petals can be corrected with scissors.
- The big flower on the wall is ready! You can use several shades of paper, as shown in our master class, or create plain or two-color buds.

MK: flowers on a stand
There are several ways to create a large flower on a stand. Consider one of them, making a delicate peony from corrugated paper. For the manufacture of the stem, metal-plastic pipes are most often used, which bend and hold their shape, as well as PVC pipes and cement.
Tools and materials:
- Corrugated paper pink and green (3 meters).
- Cardboard circle (any box will fit).
- Plastic pipe (20-25 mm, sold in the plumbing department).
- Glue gun.
- Ruler.
- Scissors.
Step-by-step instruction:
- Getting to work. We take 3 meters of paper and fold it in half along the long side. From the edge we measure a segment of 6 cm, we fold the paper in three layers:
- We cut the workpiece, as shown in the photo, leaving about 3 cm from the bottom:
- We cut the "accordion" on both sides, giving it the shape of a petal.
- Its size should be approximately 20x8 cm:
- According to the same pattern, we cut a strip 1 meter long:
- We proceed to the second meter, but this time we increase the elements by 2 cm (22x10).
- The third part should have 24x12 cm petals.
- We twist the tips of the workpieces:
- We straighten the paper and stretch it a little:
- We make a circle of cardboard with a diameter of 30 cm. We glue it with corrugated paper.
- We take the glue gun and fix the smallest part in the center of the circle. Petals need to be glued alternately.
- Glue in a circle the other two parts, gradually building up and straightening the flower. To give it splendor, you can glue additional petals.
- Getting to the manufacture of coasters. We bend the metal-plastic pipe so as to make the base stable. If necessary, decorate it with green corrugated paper, fixing it around the pipe, or paint.
- We fix a cardboard circle to the upper edge of the "stem":
- Firmly glue the barrel to a large cardboard circle:
- Decorate the base of the flower with corrugated paper.
- Thus, large realistic peonies are created.

Next, we show how to easily make a huge flower from corrugated paper, and also give another example of the manufacture of the stand.
Tools and materials:

- Adhesive tape or tape.
- Disposable cup (needed to create the foundation).
- Cement for weighting.
- Stucco corner (sold at the construction site).
- Thin wire for leaflet.
- Nippers
- Dry moss, paints.
Step-by-step instruction:
- Cut the petals according to the patterns. They should be of different lengths, but similar in shape. The more detail, the more magnificent the flower will be.
- Gradually connect the parts using tape. First we collect small petals, then medium and large:
- We make the core using two circles of contrasting color. Crumple them at the edges and fix between them with glue.
- Glue moss or finely chopped strips of paper in the middle. We tint in dark color.
- We collect the elements - and the big flower is ready!
- We make a stand. Fill the glass with a cement mixture, wait for solidification.
-
Turn the glass over and fix the plaster corner on it:
-
We cover the stem with thick paper, for example, packaging paper. Glue the green corrugated paper on top.
-
With the help of wire cutters and thin wire we twist the "skeleton":
-
And on both sides we glue on it two sheets cut out of paper. We insert it into the stem.
-
We assemble the base and the bud, fixing them in any convenient way, for example, with ties. The big flower is ready.

Photo of large flowers in the interior
Huge flowers delight everyone and give a sense of magic. They can be the highlight of most holidays - weddings, birthday, March 8 and Valentine's Day. Large flowers look great in the photo, but is it worth it to spend your time and money for one day? Of course, because these luxurious floral arrangements can become an adornment of your home, where they will delight the eye for a long time and remind you of pleasant events.
In the living room, flowers made of corrugated paper will become an unusual element of decor that attracts everyone's attention. A delicate, fabulous accessory is the flowers that adorn the wall in the bedroom, especially if this room is intended for a girl.
But when creating and operating large flowers from corrugated paper, a logical question arises about the care of them. It is necessary to periodically clean them from dust that accumulates in the folds of the petals:
- This can be done with a brush for cleaning thin fibers or feathers. Carefully remove dust by brushing through the flowers.
- You can also use a hairdryer in cold air. If you turn on the hot stream, the petals will lose their shape. The air flow should be minimal.
- Another option, but for advanced ones, is a can of compressed air, which is used when cleaning the keyboard.
In addition, it is not recommended to place and hang dark or bright flowers near the windows: in the sunlight, corrugated paper can simply fade.
