Greetings to all lovers of crafts and recycling, today I want to share with you how I made some sunflowers with newspaper, the technique is similar to knitting paper, so I hope you like it.
Materiales/ Materials
- Periódicos viejos
- Tijera
- Pega blanca
- Palillo de altura
- Pintura al frío de color amarillo, verde y marrón o en su defecto los colores primarios para hacer mezclas.
- old newspapers
- scissors
- white glue
- height stick
- Cold paint in yellow, green and brown or, failing that, the primary colors to make mixtures.
Proceso/ Process
Take the sheet of newspaper and fold it into four parts, cut with scissors, that way for each double sheet of newspaper you get 4 long strips of paper. Take the toothpick and roll the paper from one corner to the other, at the end stick the tip. This is how the paper tubes needed to make the flowers are obtained.
For each flower you need to cut 8 16cm tubes for the petals (I recommend securing the ends with glue) place them two by two in the center overlapping and glue, it will be like an asterisk shape.
When the glue is dry, take a long paper tube and stick the tip behind the center, with this tube surround the petals two by two following a circular path, passing through the oak and below, making two rounds like this. If the paper tube runs out, there is no problem because another one can be attached as if it were a pencil cap. When the two rounds have been made, another tube will now be glued behind the previous tube and it will begin to pass above and below each of the petals alternating, that is, while one tube goes above, the other goes below until making a full round.
At the end of the round, the tube that was left in front should be passed to the back of the flower, in this way the two tubes are used to create the stem, if they are short, another tube is joined with the explanation above.
With cold paints paint the stems green, the petals yellow and the center brown.
Resultado / Result
This is a very good craft because not only is recycling material used, but coordination and concentration are also put into practice, obtaining beautiful flowers to decorate the house or office.
