What you will need:
Colored paper.
Ruler, scissors, pencil.
PVA glue or any other reliable glue for paper.
First we need to cut out a circle for the base of our flower. We cut it out of any paper, it will not be visible, and put it aside for a while.
Now we take a new sheet of colored paper and begin to draw it. We need 7 by 7 cm squares.
Cut out all the marked squares. This can be done with scissors or a stationery knife, whichever is more convenient for you. For the flower we will need squares from one whole and one half of an A4 sheet.
Now the most time-consuming, but quite interesting work begins. We begin to roll our squares into small envelopes, such as those in which grandmothers used to sell seeds.
When all the squares have been twisted, we take the circle that was previously set aside for the base and begin to collect the dahlia. We glue the first row of petals and let it dry.
Now it's time to glue the second row. Petals of different rows must be glued in a checkerboard pattern.
We glue the remaining rows in the same way until the entire base is filled with bags - petals. So, simply, but not very quickly, we got a beautiful dahlia. You can hang it by a string on the wall, glue it to a postcard, put it in a frame, attach a leg and put it in a vase. In general, there are plenty of options!
This beautiful paper flower looks like a real dahlia. When your guests see it, they won’t believe that you made it yourself! Make a lot of these flowers and give them to all your friends, they will be delighted!
