Crape paper flower snowdrops

Here is tutorial on make a paper flower snowdrops from the crape paper.

Make a paper flower 

To make a paper flower  take a strip of white crepe paper with width of 35 mm. 

Crape paper for the children's art is subtle, so it is necessary to join two sheets of crape paper to make the paper flower snowdrops. Gently spread the pencil glue in the transverse direction on the strip of crape paper  and cover with the second layer of paper. Pretty soon, the paper is dry.

Fold it  in three layers and cut  in the shape of the petals in the form of an elongated drop.

To make a paper flower from the crape paper  it's best to use a special floral wire. Or you can buy a special Japanese floral wire already wrapped in green paper. But if you can not find such a wire, you can wrap the wire yourself. Just cut the roll of olive color crape paper width of 3-5 mm. Dip the tip of the paper to the glue and start winding the wire. Glue tthe end of the tape.

Now, next step to make a paper flower is to take a piece of wire 12 cm long, dip the tip in the glue and wrap around it a piece of cotton, as shown on the picture.

Now spread the glue on the top. You can also dip it into the grits colored in yellow (using watercolors).

Now it's time to make the inner petals of our snowdrops paper flower. Take a strip of white crape paper 25 mm wide, cut one edge as shown on the pic and touch up with light green watercolor. In order the color was perfectly suited to the leaves color, I embellish it with crape paper from which made the leaves and wrap the stems. Crape paper molt very much, so put a piece of green crape paper on the white paper and drop in it drops of water and white glue. After a while you'll get a greenish liquid glue. I'm using a cotton swab to color inner petals.

Wrap the strip around the wire. Gently help with the fingers to stretch the paper flower petals in the middle, giving them a convex shape.

Lubricate the middle of a paper flower with the glue and glue the petals. When the glue dries, wrap a strip of green crape paper around the wire.

Take a strip of olive crape paper 50 by 25 mm. Wrap the edges and twist the tip of one. Cut the most twisted. This is an upper leaf, stick it just below the flower.

Cut the leaves from a double-cut olive crape paper and affix it to the paper flower stem.
