I only love the lotus that emerges from the silt but is not stained, washes clear ripples without being evil, is straight in the middle and has no vines or branches. I have always liked the artistic conception of lotus. Today we will learn how to make crepe paper lotus flowers. The finished product is very pleasing to the eye when placed at home.
Materials: pink gradient crepe paper, green float-dyed paper, pink toner (for coloring), large sizeRoseFlower center, ultra-light clay, thin wire, white paper tape, yellow paper tape, green paper tape, yellow-green screen flower material, scissors, glue, etc.
Step 1: Observe
Eternally unchanged, no matter what kind of flower we make, we need to observe the shape of the real flower first before we can create a more vivid work.
Step 2: Make lotus pods
What the editor here uses is a foam ball with ultra-light clay on the outside to facilitate shaping. The editor only has flesh-colored clay here, so I need to add a layer of yellow-green wire mesh (the material used to make wire mesh flowers) on the outside. In fact, if conditions permit, you can just use yellow-green clay to make it.
Step 3: Make the stamens
Cut about 20+ thin wires, about 8cm long, wrap them with yellow and white paper tape, and make the top into a drop shape
Step 4: Make petals
There are two sizes of small and large petals, 5 pieces each, which can be adjusted according to the actual situation. After cutting, gently stretch the center part of the petals and unfold the folds to make the natural shape of the lotus leaf; then use pink color powder to smudge the top of the lotus leaf to deepen the color, and the color around the top should be darker ( In fact, you don’t need to color it, it depends on each person’s production conditions)
Step 5: Combination
Step 6: Make lotus leaves
Use green float-dyed paper to cut two oval lotus leaves of the same size, sandwich a thin wire between them to make the lotus leaf texture and support, and glue them together with white latex. Gently scrape out the lotus leaf pattern with your fingernails.
Step 7: Combination
Follow the above preparation method, make a few more lotus flowers and lotus leaves, and then make a lotus pod. Finally, use the paper tape combination to wrap the flower stem, and a beautiful bouquet of simulated lotus flowers is made
