Having made a simple one, you can make a whole paper pond with your friends. Just like in the fairy tale about Pinocchio, when funny frogs sang their perky song and teased Duremar. Remember? And what is a pond without water lilies? A fluffy origami water lily can be made from just one sheet of paper in a few minutes.

For work we need the following materials:

• pink sheet of double-sided colored paper,
• green sheet of paper,
• scissors.

The process of folding paper origami water lilies:

1. We take colored paper. It should be painted on both sides (well, at least for the water lily itself, one-sided is also suitable for the leaf). In addition, the paper for the origami water lily should not be thick. As it turned out, coated office paper with a density of 80 g / m3 is rather dense - uncomfortable. Need a regular double-sided colored paper.

2. Fold the square of paper in half twice, marking the diagonal fold lines.

3. Bend each of the four corners in turn to the center to get a smaller square.

4. Bend the squares again in the same way as the first time.

5. And one more time the same thing for the third time.

6. Turn the square face down.

7. On the back (seamy) side of the figure, also bend the corners to the very center - for the last time.

8. Now bend the protruding corners quite a bit. It is at this stage that you can finally understand whether it is convenient to make a water lily from one or another paper. Thick paper is very difficult to fold in this area. However, you can cope with it too - I kind of succeeded.

9. Turn the blank back over to face you.

10. We begin to work miracles - to open the petals of our paper water lily. First, bend the first row.

11. Then the second.

12. And now the last - the smallest - third row of petals.

13. Take a closer look, the water lily is very similar to the real one!

14. For her it is necessary to cut a sheet of green paper with scissors.

15. A simple origami paper water lily is ready. Quickly? Very! Let's add a couple more!

Paper is one of the most difficult and capricious materials to work with. That is why the masters love to work with her so much - the result is always worth the effort. Two sources of inspiration - material and nature, can be combined in one creation. An artificial water lily made of paper will delight any master with the fact that he was able to repeat with his own hands an unsurpassed example of the work of nature in paper.

We study the techniques of folding paper water lilies with our own hands

Modular origami.

Using different techniques, you can layer water lilies that are not inferior in beauty to the real ones.

The most common option, however, is not the easiest, making a flower using the origami technique.

To fold the water lily, as in the photo, you will need:

• 4 sheets of A4 paper (red or pink);
• 2 sheets of A4 paper (green);
• a piece of wire.

A sheet of paper of the main color (this is red or pink) is divided into 4 even parts, located in width. To do this, you need to use a ruler and simple pencil... The drawn lines are cut with scissors.

Now the strips of paper are folded in half in the longitudinal direction, that is, along the length. Then the corners and long sides of the strip are folded.

Now the resulting workpiece needs to be carefully bent along the fold in the middle in the other direction, outward, as if folded in half.

All 16 pieces of colored sheets, both red and green, must thus be prepared for further work. Only one, the very last green piece, needs to be turned not outward, but on the contrary - inward.

Now work begins with the module failures.

To do this, two red ones are superimposed on the green blank.

Such sets must be made exactly 8 pieces, just using all the parts prepared earlier.

All modules fit tightly to each other.

The middle is fastened with a wire, carefully wrapping the center several times, and fastening the ends of the wire and carefully cutting it off. The workpieces are straightened. To straighten it evenly, you can use the wire as a support, pressing on it while bending the leaves and forming a circle.

Now you need to straighten the middle of the future petals. For this, the inner layer of the sheet is folded inward. The depth and height of the bend can be adjusted at your discretion. The main thing is to do it carefully, so that if something needed to be corrected, you could do it without leaving any creases on the paper.

The second layer of petals is bent in the same way. They should fit more or less tightly to the previous one. The bottom of the workpiece, where there will be green leaves, is straightened in the same way.

If the leaves are not spread evenly, making the folds more or less, then the water lily will look even more like a real one.

Classic origami.

To make a snowflake in classical technique, it is necessary to bend a sheet of paper strictly along the lines shown in the diagram. The diagram is detailed and clearly shows the directions of the folds with arrows. However, it will be more convenient for novice craftsmen to familiarize themselves with the description of addition.

1. At the beginning of work, an initial form is made from a sheet of paper, which is called "Pancake".

A square sheet of paper (this is important, the sides must be equal to each other, otherwise the flower cannot be folded) folds diagonally. The lines of intersection of the diagonals are well smoothed with a ruler or back side nail. Each corner of the vertex folds in the direction of the center, with the vertex to the other corners.

1. After that, all the corners of the workpiece are folded towards the center point.
2. The same corners are folded again, and again towards the middle.
3. It is necessary to outline all the lines. To do this, the sides of the triangle are bent in the opposite direction, towards the middle.
4. All corners of the flower blank are bent "mountain". Before this, bends are made along the lines so that the corners are turned out.
5. The petals are also folded back with a "mountain", while outlining the folds. The workpiece turns over and the petal pockets seem to be flattened. To do this, you need to press them down well.
6. The workpiece is turned over again. The inner corners are folded back with a "valley". To do this, they are turned outward.
7. In the same way, it is necessary to open all the corners of the inner pancake.
8. The workpiece is turned over again. If desired, you can draw out additional corners - petals. This will give the water lily a more natural and open look.

The resulting flower can be used as a table decor, to decorate a room with it, or as a craft for a child.

At first glance, a fairly simple master class, but still such a craft requires effort on the part of small children's fingers, but it develops extremely effectively fine motor skills, and without it, as you know, nowhere. When the child gets the hang of glueing the petals, he will really like this process, he will not want to stop, therefore, dear educators, teachers and parents, prepare more colored paper and glue, and good mood with this craft will come by itself. Moreover, in this technique, you can make not only a water lily, but also a lily-pincushion for mom on March 8, and whole bouquets of flowers.

Step-by-step master class on how to make a paper lily

We need: White paper, green colored paper, yellow paper, glue, scissors.

To make one lily from white paper, cut out 2 circles, one with a diameter of a couple of cm more than the other.

We need to make the same cuts in them at the same distance. To do this, divide the circle. First, we fold it in half.

Then another half.

Roll up again, aligning the round edges.

Expand and see that the circle has broken into 8 identical sectors.

Now we cut along the fold lines, but not completely.

To make a water lily petal, mark the middle at the segment. Grease half of the edge with glue.

We connect and put the corners on top of each other to get a sharp little petal, glue it. There will be more overlap - the petal will be narrower and thinner. Slightly connect the edges - the petal will be wide.

We also glue other petals. When flipped, it will look like this:

We do the same with the second circle, which is smaller. We put the circles of the petals on top of each other, glue them in the center. Cut a leaf out of green paper for a lily, glue a flower on it, make a middle out of yellow paper.

The core can be made simply in the form of a circle, or a piece of foam rubber can be glued there and the needle bar will come out. And if you change the color of the petals to yellow, you get not a lily, but a water lily (egg capsule). In the same way, you can make other flower crafts, for example volumetric applique made of flowers.

Volumetric applique flowers in the same technique

Everything is similar to the lily master class, but we take paper different colors... In the same way, we glue together and we get bouquets of magical beauty :)

On the shelves of modern stores, you can find products for every taste. But at the same time, at all times, hand-made things were valued above all. That is why every year the activity associated with the creation of paper flowers at home is becoming more and more popular. Such original, beautiful, delicate plants decorate holiday tables, halls, wedding arches, they are presented as gifts to loved ones. Water lines look great in modern décor. This article will be very useful for you, because in it we will tell you how to make a water lily out of paper.

Benefits of origami technique

Many people today are engaged in needlework, using the most different materials... If you have a little accumulated at home colorful paper, then you will like the techniques described below, which tell you how to make a water lily out of paper.

Origami helps you not only usefully occupy your own free time, but also learn something interesting, new, previously seemingly incomprehensible.

Making a simple water lily with your own hands

To make a water lily out of paper with your own hands, follow these instructions:

1. Take a piece of white paper, draw a circle on it by hand, or use a compass. The diameter of the circle should be 16 cm. On two separate sheets of paper, make two more of the same circles.
2. Draw another circle, only with a smaller diameter, for example, 8 cm. Using two perpendicular lines, divide the circle.
3. Connect the ends of the lines with dashes so that you get a rhombus divided into a dozen parts.
4. In the center, draw a circle with an even smaller diameter than the previous circles.
5. Draw leaflets for all circles. The important thing here is to make the lines slightly arched.
6. Take scissors and cut out all the circles and petals.
7. Fold the petals up.
8. Cut a strip 20 cm long and 1 cm wide from yellow paper.
9. Every 5 mm, use a ruler to mark the lines on the strip.
10. Cut the fringe according to the resulting strokes, which we then use to decorate the flower in the center.
11. Roll the strip in a spiral shape with the handle.
12. To prevent the spiral from unraveling, fasten the ends of the fringe with glue.
13. Remove the coiled strip from the handle.
14. Take green paper, cut out the leaves for our water lily, place them in the center of the sheet.
15. Secure the fringe right in the center.

Master class on creating an original water lily

As you have already seen, there are several schemes for making a water lily, with which you can then decorate any event. Prepare scissors, glue, paper, pencil, compasses for work.

The technique for creating a flower looks like this:

1. Take a square sheet of paper, fold it diagonally, then unfold it.
2. Bend the corners of the resulting square towards the center. It is important that the sides of the corners coincide.
3. Expand the square so that the corners lie perpendicular to each other. As a result of the performed manipulations, your square will turn into a rhombus.
4. Bend the corners to the center again.
5. With the wrong side, turn the craft towards you, in this position, bend the ends to the center again.
6. Pull the curved triangle slightly to the side with one hand.
7. Determine the place where this piece is connected in the triangle from the back of the product.
8. Bring the back triangle up, then gently bend in the direction of the front of the workpiece. The main thing is to do everything carefully so as not to damage the paper.
9. Peel back the outer triangles, then put them back in place to bring the petals out to front side back part. Lift and shape all the petals of the water lily in the same way.
10. Turn the layout with the back side, move the remaining triangles down.
11. To shape the petals into a rounded shape, gently press down the center of each with your fingers.
12. Decorate the flower with glitter or paint to give it a complete look.

I would like such a flower to be constantly visible and pleasing to the eye. There is great idea: you can make this beautiful plant out of paper, or better - a lot to decorate the whole house with "eternal" flowers.

Making a paper copy of your favorite plant with your own hands is very simple. Reading the instructions once is enough to learn how to do it. Below in the article are a few different ways to create a flower of your choice.

Simple origami lily

At first glance, it seems that making a lily using the origami technique is difficult, but the instructions and a little practice will teach you how to create such crafts with ease. Below is the step by step master class on a paper flower.

A square sheet is all you need.

The dashed lines in the diagram indicate the folds, and the arrows indicate their directions.

1. 1. Fold the square diagonally.
   2. Unfold, repeat on the other side. This will create the lines along which you will fold the origami.
   3. Unfold the square again and fold it diagonally so that opposite sides of the sheet converge in the center.
   4. Fold the corner of the triangle with the middle to the center.
   5. Move one edge of the resulting diamond to the side. Repeat with a different angle.
   6. Repeat with the remaining two corners.
   7. Bring the two sides of both diamonds to the center, then fold back to form new folds.

1. Take the bottom of the rhombus up and fold it along the old fold line. Repeat on each of the other three sides of the sheet.
2. Now you need to unbend all the diamonds.
3. Fold the top of the sheet towards the center on both sides.
4. Having expanded the workpiece, bend the petals outward, twisting slightly.

Your flower is ready. With a little practice, you can easily and quickly do it without instructions.

Water flower

Another option is a paper water lily. This artificial flower good because even just a napkin is suitable for making it.

So, a water lily can be made even at the kitchen table when there is nothing to do with your hands.

First of all, the lower leaves of the plant are created:

1. You need to fold the square according to the scheme and unfold it again.
2. Now the sheet needs to be bent along the dotted line to the center.
3. Bend in half again.
4. And again in half.
5. Now pull the origami forward on the inside, marked with arrows.
6. Fold back again along the dotted lines.
7. Ready.

Now let's get down to the flower itself:

1. Fold the paper square along the dotted line, run your finger along the fold line and unfold again.
2. Fold to the center along the dotted line.
3. Bend again along the dotted line to the center.
4. Flip origami.
5. Fold dotted towards center.
6. Fold along the dotted line as in the picture.
7. Turn over.
8. Holding the places marked with arrows, turn out.
9. Fold the marked parts together.

The water lily is ready, you just need to connect it and the already made leaves.

Water lily in two minutes

This method is very simple and works well for co-creation with children.

It is necessary to cut a circle out of paper and make small equal cuts on it along the edge to create petals.

Roll up all cut sections into cones and secure with glue.

The first circle is the first "tier" of the water lily. We also need a second one, which will be glued on top.

The third will be the yellow core of the flower, which can be made from colored paper or drawn.

The finished flower can be glued to a circle of green paper, like on a real leaf of a water lily.

Corrugated paper

Five minutes is enough to create several beautiful flowers from corrugated paper at once.

You will need:

• cardboard for the template;
• pencil;
• corrugated paper;
• stamen wire;
• sticks for stems;
• glue or tape;
• scissors;
• optional - markers and colored pencils.

The number of petals and stamens, the size and color of the lily, you can choose to taste.

Petal pattern

1. It is only necessary to cut out five identical petals from corrugated paper in the form of a boat according to a template. This pattern is very easy to draw yourself.
2. Fold them all in half, flatten them slightly, and unfold them again.
3. In the middle, pull each petal out to the sides to stretch it out into shape.
4. To make stamens, take a piece of wire, string a white bead on it, fold and twist. You need to make several such stamens and twist them together by the "tails" of the wire.
5. Now take and twist the petals around them. Fix the result on a stick with glue or tape.
6. If you wish, you can also make leaves - cut them out and glue them on a stick.

Helpful hints:

• if there is no corrugated paper at hand, you can simply use a wrapping material for bouquets;
• flowers can be supplemented with sweets by screwing them into the core together with the stamens or replacing them. Also, lilies can be collected in a ball or decorated with them for something, for example, boxes;
• if on white corrugated paper draw dots for the petals in watercolor, the paper creation will look very believable.
