Irises from sweets and corrugated paper. Master Class

With the advent of spring, along with tulips and daffodils, another popular flower blooms - irises. The flowers have a very unusual and complex structure, somewhat reminiscent of orchids. The middle of the bud is framed by three inner and three outer curved petals. The inner part of the outer petals is decorated with a longitudinal fleecy strip - a beard. In addition to an incredible palette of shades, some types of irises have a multicolor color, combining several shades at once. That is why irises are successfully used in creating bright and luxurious compositions. And in this photo tutorial, we'll show you how to create a crepe paper iris. Paper will convey well the corrugated texture of elastic petals and their shape. Thanks to this, the flowers will turn out to be very realistic.

For work, we will prepare the following materials and tools:

corrugated paper in light peach and ash pink;
green corrugated paper;
scissors;
ruler;
tassel;
yellow gouache;
skewer;
semolina;
hot glue gun.

How to make irises out of corrugated paper

Step 1. To create one bud, you will need six main petals: three pink and three peach shades. We cut out strips measuring 8 * 5 cm.

We cut them diagonally and glue them again along the cut line, but so that the veins are directed in different directions.

We give the blanks a teardrop shape.

Then we bend the petals and stretch their edges until beautiful volumetric folds are formed. The main iris petals are ready.

Now we need to create beards on the outer petals. We apply strips of glue to the inner tip of the blanks and sprinkle them with semolina. When the glue dries, paint over the beards with yellow gouache and remove until completely dry.

Step 2. Meanwhile, we create the inner part of the bud - the middle of six convex petals. First, we attach yellow petals to the tip of the skewer, and then pink ones. We straighten the rose petals to the sides.

Step 3 Now we attach three large petals. Below we glue the remaining three petals with beards.

Step 4. We decorate the base of the bud with a large beige leaf.

From two blanks of pink and green color we create unblown buds.

This beautiful flower can be seen in the garden, greenhouses and on the street. Let's try to make corrugated paper irises together and enjoy their beauty all year round. The master class proposed in the article will help you understand this simple and interesting process.

Necessary tools and materials

Before you decide to make such beautiful flowers, you should stock up on the necessary materials listed below. And also see how irises are made from corrugated paper. The master class proposed in the article highlights the sequence and nuances of your future work. For her you will need:

a sheet of plain paper;
corrugated paper;
glue;
wire;
scissors;
knitting fluffy thread;
teip tape;
stem rod.

Let's start making irises from corrugated paper: a master class

If you have prepared everything you need, then proceed to the implementation. The process will not be difficult:

To make irises from corrugated paper, you must first prepare templates: the most pointed one is a small petal, the middle one is tear-shaped and the large one is rounded.
To make an iris of natural colors, you need to take paper or purple flowers. Cut out blanks of the required shape in 3 pieces and gently stretch them over the edges. Please note that corrugated paper does not stretch in four, but only in two directions. As a result, outline the template so that it can be stretched as much as possible along the side contours.
To create the correct shape of the flower, it is necessary to attach a thin wire to each petal, leaving the tails at the base.
One should take into account the peculiarity of irises - yellow fluff on large petals. Fluff can be made with finely chopped fluffy thread.
Next, apply a strip of glue in the middle of three large petals and pour fluff on top. Make the iris more natural by painting its petals with light paint. Strokes should be light and superficial.

Thinking about how to properly collect corrugated paper irises? The master class explains in detail the sequence of the necessary work. Most importantly, follow a clear chronology of description, and the work will be easy and interesting. So let's continue:

First connect the smallest petals together. Then add medium ones between them, and attach the largest ones below.
The final stage is the formation of a flower with a stem. Wrap green tape around the remaining ends of the wire and the rod.

If you don't have crepe paper, you can use crepe paper. The technology for making iris will be similar. The crepe material is thinner, and the petals are more elegant. Therefore, the crepe paper iris will come out tender and beautiful.

The use of different materials in the manufacture of a bouquet of flowers affects the final result. Experiment, do not stop at certain materials and maybe you will discover something new in creating beautiful bouquets of flowers.

Creating "sweet" irises from corrugated paper: a master class

To make a beautiful one with your own hands is within the power of everyone. The main thing is your desire and intention to create beauty. If you are full of creative enthusiasm, then we are ready to offer an original and "delicious" work.

Consider an interesting technique where corrugated paper irises will be with a sweet surprise, namely, sweets. The list of what you need to make your irises:

corrugated paper - green, white and lilac;
threads;
scissors;
a piece of cloth;
floral tape;
candies;
stick or skewer;
nippers for trimming the sharp ends of the sticks.

Making flowers

And now let's start creating irises from sweets and corrugated paper:

Cut into rectangles and fold in half lengthwise. Then cut out the desired shape of the petal.
Take the fabric and put the petal folded in half into it so that the fold of the fabric exactly coincides with the bend of the petal. Then press it firmly against the table with your hands. Pull the fabric by turning it around the axis. Remove the petal from the fabric, it should be rounded and slightly wrinkled.
Carefully unfold the petal and stretch it along the edge. This should be done with all the petals. For one flower, you need six of them. For iris sepals, you need 2 small leaves and 1 large. The leaves should be the same length as the future flower.
Take the candy and attach it to the stick, using instead of the latter, you can use corrugated paper. In this case, you will need glue.
First, wrap the petal tightly with several turns of thread. Then with floral tape.
Attach the second and third petal in the same way. In principle, the manufacturing process of corrugated paper iris is very similar to fabric flowers.
The fourth, fifth and sixth petals are your bottom petals, secure them in the same way as the previous ones. You need to fasten in a checkerboard pattern.
Next, attach the sepals with floral tape. Then, in the intervals between the petals, you should wind the second petal. The third sheet is the longest, you need to tuck and wrap the stem a little.
Secure the leaves with floral tape so you don't have to tuck them up. Secure the longest leaves with tape. They should be located above the inflorescence. Twist the ends of the leaves slightly.

Petals, if desired, can be tinted with shadows. Using this technique, you can make both candy irises and other flowers. If necessary, the candy can be attached to the glue gun. Add a valuable investment to a bouquet of irises - buds with small sweets.

How to make DIY paper candy iris

Cut out a rectangle 9 cm wide and 7 cm long from white crepe paper.

Make an indentation for the candy in the center of the rectangle. Wrap the candy in paper. Glue a wooden skewer into the resulting tail with hot glue.

From blue crepe paper, cut out six rectangles for the petals. The size of the upper petals is 5x4cm, the size of the lower ones is 6x5cm. In addition to the bottom petals, prepare three 3x2cm white rectangles.

Cut the blue rectangle diagonally. Turn one half upside down so that the pleats are pointing up and out to the sides.

Glue the junction of the two halves of the petal with glue. It is convenient to press two workpieces to be glued with a sharp knitting needle or skewer.

Wait until the glue is completely dry (at least 20 minutes) and round off the top edge of the petals.

Form a curve in the petals and stretch the edges a little. The upper petals are bent inward, the lower outward. Glue yellow feathers or a piece of yellow paper onto white blanks.

Hot glue the top petals onto the candy base so that the edges of the petals touch above the candy.

Fasten the bottom petals so that their edges look down.

Decorate the skewer with green tape. Using white paint, apply a few stripes to the petals, with a semi-dry brush.

Symbolism

Iris is a small flower that resembles a lily in its shape. Since ancient times, it was believed that the iris is both a symbol of strength and tenderness. Iris is one of the few flowers that are officially accepted to be included in a bouquet intended for men.

This beautiful flower has been known to man since ancient times. Among the paintings of the Palace of Knossos, on the island of Crete, the fresco depicts a priest surrounded by blooming irises. This fresco is about 4000 years old.

The flower "iris" got its name from the famous healer Hippocrates. He named the plant in honor of the ancient Greek goddess Irida, who proclaimed to people the will of the Olympic gods. The goddess Irida descended to earth on a rainbow, so the word "Iris" in Greek means rainbow. Carl Linnaeus, who proposed a unified system of scientific names for plants, retained his ancient name for the iris.
There is another belief that Florence was called Florence by the Romans only because around this settlement, at one time, irises grew in abundance. And the translation from Latin into Russian of the word "Florence" means "blooming". Since then, the Florentine iris has adorned the city coat of arms of Florence.
Florentine iris is also famous for the fact that for a long time fragrant essential oil with the aroma of violets was obtained from its rhizome. That is why the rhizome of this iris is called violet root. This essential oil was used in royal dressing rooms as early as the 15th century. From 1 kg of rhizomes, an average of 7 g of essential oil is obtained, which is used in perfumery.

In Japan, iris protected houses from harmful influences. In Japanese, "iris" and "warrior spirit" are denoted by the same hieroglyph. On May 5, on the day of the boys, all the people perform khanami, i.e. ritual admiration of flowers in iris gardens, where they grow submerged in water and on this day images of irises appear on all household items. On the traditional holiday of boys, a magical talisman is prepared from iris flowers, which should instill courage in the soul of a young man. Iris leaves are like swords and the Japanese are deeply convinced that they should awaken strength, courage and courage in the future man. Once upon a time, on the day of hanami, the Japanese made a drink called "May pearls" from iris and orange flowers. Those who used it were healed of many diseases.
As a religious symbol, the iris first appears in the paintings of the early Flemish masters, and in the images of the Virgin Mary, it is present both together with the lily and instead of it. This symbolic meaning is due to the fact that the name "iris" means "lily with a sword", which is seen as an allusion to Mary's sorrow for Christ.
Among Christians, iris symbolizes purity, protection, but also became a symbol of sorrow and pain, the reason for which was its sharp wedge-shaped leaves, which seemed to personify the suffering and sadness of the heart of the Mother of God from the suffering of Christ. Very often, as such a symbol, blue iris is found in the images of the Virgin. The iris can also symbolize the virgin birth.
In Russia, the word "Iris" appeared as a botanical name for plants in the second half of the 19th century, and before that period they used the popular name "Kasatik", the inhabitants of Ukraine called irises "Cockerel". In Bulgaria, Serbia and Croatia, the iris is called Perunika - in honor of the Slavic god Perun. Iris has many different names: Iris, killer whale, killer whale, pigtails, cockerel, pevnik (pivnik), blueberry, carp, flatbread, chikan, bells, chistyak, wolf cucumber, hare cucumbers, bear cucumbers, pevnik, magpie flowers, chemennik. The most common name is the tender word "Kasatik", which means "dear, beloved, desired."

The Slavic peoples widely used an iridescent range of colors and shades and bizarre forms of iris inflorescences. They could be seen in folk crafts, in the textile industry, as well as in everyday life decoration: painting dwellings, utensils, clothes (in the ornament of shirts, sundresses, towels, shawls and half-shawls).

Irises with their beauty and grace attract the attention of suite designers.
