Bouquet of tulips

We always associate tulips with holidays and early spring. This wonderful, delicate flower is very often given to women on March 8, which has long been considered a tradition in our country. Do you know how your mother or grandmother will be pleasantly surprised if you give her not a purchased bouquet of tulips, but a bouquet made by you? Such a bouquet will not stand in a vase for 1-2 days, but may remind her of you all her life.
Therefore, we suggest you make a tulip out of paper using step-by-step instructions and photos.
So, for work we only need colored paper and scissors. Your flowers can be of different colors, for example, the favorite color of the person to whom it will be intended present. Or maybe you will come up with a new variety of tulips?
In our case, the tulip will be made of yellow paper, and then the petals will be slightly painted with red veins. This way a bouquet of tulips will look much more interesting and lively.

1 step
The sheet of paper from which we will make tulips should be square. Therefore, we take an A4 sheet and fold it diagonally so that we get a triangle. The excess strip needs to be carefully cut off - we will make a stem from it.





Step 2
Now open the triangle and you will have a square sheet in your hands. Fold it again diagonally so that the square has a fold at each corner. Now fold the square into a triangular shape with the folds inward, slightly squeezing the corners. This is easy to do, since the square already has folds. You will get a triangular shape, as in the photo.





Step 3
Place the figurine on the table and fold back the corners of the top layer of paper. Next, fold the corners up so that you get a diamond shape. Turn the figure over and do the same. As a result, you will get a folded sheet with folded sections towards the middle of the paper shape. Turn the corners of the diamond over so that the cuts are inside the shape. After this, the diamond will be smooth.





Step 4
Now bend both corners so that you get a shape with curved corners. The fold of future petals should converge towards the middle of the diamond. Turn the figure over and repeat the action. One of the corners of the diamond will have a hole - this will be the bottom of the tulip.



Step 5
Next, bend the corners towards the middle so that you can tuck one into the other.



Step 6
Now we need to breathe life into our flower! Yes, yes, just inhale! To make the tulip bloom, blow lightly into the hole and bend the edges of the petals.



Now our flower should acquire a delicate color. Let's take red paint and make light brush strokes along the flower petals, under them and in the middle of it.
Fold the remaining strips of paper lengthwise and insert them into the hole of the tulip - they will serve as stems for the flowers.



And so that our bouquet does not look “naked,” cut strips of green paper and insert them into the bouquet in the form of leaves.
All! Our spring flower is ready!
Don't forget to make a pair of tulips to make a bouquet!



Good luck!
