Mom, sister, and grandmother will be happy with such an unusual gift as a paper tulip. Of course: in flowers made with your own hands - a piece of your soul, love and care for the closest people on Earth.
Paper flowers look very alive and natural. They can be collected into a bouquet, and also used for other crafts - panels or three-dimensional appliqués. Paper flowers are used to decorate holiday cards, gift wrapping, and the covers of notebooks and photo albums.
Compared to live ones, paper tulips do not wither. But they are easy to damage. Therefore, if necessary, strengthen the flowers with candle wax. Just melt a few candles and dip each craft into the wax for just a second.
Delicate tulips made of corrugated paper with sweets
The discreet, pastel colors of paper tulips will give a special tenderness to the bouquet, and the sweets hidden inside will add a touch of sweetness to your gift.
You will need:
- corrugated paper,
- candies,
- tape,
- scotch,
- wire,
- pliers.
Step-by-step instructions will help you make a tulip out of paper.
1. Take pink corrugated paper and cut into strips 20x2 cm.
2. Twist each strip in the middle one turn, fold in half.
3. Using tape, attach the candy to the wire.
4. Use tape to attach the petals to the base of the bud. First, wrap one part of the strips, placing them on top of each other, then the other. As a result, you should get a tulip with three petals.
5. Wrap the next petals in the same way. A photo will help you cope with this task.
6. Wrap the base of the flower and the stem of the tulip with tape.
7. Cut out leaves from green corrugated paper and tape them to the stem using tape.
8. Collect tulips from corrugated paper into a bouquet and wrap with tape.
Hooray! The composition is ready.
If you want your tulips to look like they came straight from a flower bed, place them in a small wicker basket. Beauty!
And if you are a lover of bright colors, choose rich shades of corrugation. By the way, instead of sweets, you can easily make stamens from the same corrugated paper.

A miniature bouquet is ready to delight the eyes of your family and friends.
From today's master class you will learn how to make tulips from corrugated paper and sweets with your own hands, which will not only please the eye for a long time, but will also become a wonderful sweet gift for March 8th.
To make it we will need:
Styrofoam;
. corrugated paper in yellow, purple and green;
. wicker basket;
. pebbles or other weighting agent;
. wooden skewers;
. candies with a tail on one side - 11 pieces;
. pink sisal;
. scotch;
. glue gun;
. scissors;
. satin ribbon;
. stationery knife;
. white threads.
We will place the finished tulips with sweets in a basket like this. You can choose any shape, the main thing is that flowers in the end they looked beautiful.
We put some weighting material at the bottom of the basket. It can be pebbles or any other stones. We do this so that the weight of the flowers and sweets does not cause the basket to fall.
Using a stationery knife, cut out a rectangle from foam plastic of such a size that it fits inside the basket and occupies exactly half the height. If there is no solid piece, then we fold several into one. Instead of polystyrene foam, you can use floral foam.
Cut a strip of yellow paper 1.5 cm wide and stretch it completely. We fix one end of it at the beginning of the handle of the basket and wrap it around the entire length.
Now we completely wrap the basket with purple corrugated paper and glue its edges. In this case, the height of the paper is the ideal width of the roll.
We glue the bottom edge to the bottom of the basket, and then seal the bottom with a circle of paper along its diameter.
We turn the top part outward, forming a rounded top edge. We lower the paper down to the very bottom. We tie the basket very tightly in the middle with a satin ribbon several times and tie the ends with a bow.
It should look something like this.
Inside the basket we place knocked down pink sisal, thereby hiding the bottom of the basket.
Now we prepare candies, tied on one side and wooden skewers. The length of the candy stem depends on how long you want the flower and how tall the inside of the basket is. In this case, we make skewers with a length of 15 cm. The end on one side should be sharp.
Without touching the candy, wrap the wrapper around the blunt end of the skewer and wrap it tightly with tape.
Now cut yellow corrugated paper into strips 5 cm wide along the corrugation. We cut each strip crosswise into three equal segments. For 11 candies you need 11 strips, which will make 33 pieces.
Fold one piece in half.
Then in the middle we twist the segment twice in one direction.
We put one half into the other, adding a little volume in the middle. This is how tulip petals are made.
We apply this petal to the candy, and its lower part should completely cover the skewer. We tie the petal very tightly with threads to the leg directly under the base.
In the same way we tie two more petals without breaking the thread.
Now we will make a stem for the tulip. Cut a strip of green paper up to 1 cm wide. We secure its end with hot glue under the bud, thereby hiding the thread.
We tightly wrap the stem to the middle of the stick in a downward direction, fixing it with glue where necessary.
We make leaves for each flower in the same way as petals. Only we twist them from pieces half the width of the paper, and cut off the lower ends, forming an acute angle. We attach the leaves to the flowers with glue.
We get 11 sweet tulips.
Carefully insert the tulips into the foam, forming a beautiful bouquet.
These are such beautiful and sweet yellow tulips, you can make them yourself and give them as a gift at the very beginning of spring on a wonderful women's day - March 8th!
We could already see how beautiful large flowers made from corrugated paper look. Today we will continue the topic of floristry, and we will further get acquainted with the capabilities of the material. But there will be a little twist! We should get not simple flowers, but corrugated paper tulips with candies ! Which means our bouquets contain a secret! This charm is especially relevant as a gift. And March 8 is just around the corner!
Master class on a delicious bouquet
I have found for you the easiest way to design crafts, and now I will share it. Just at the beginning I want to say that, as for me, this method has a huge advantage. While preparing this article for you, I reviewed (and even tested some of them) a lot of mk. I have often seen that candies stick. Honestly, which of us, after using glue (even through the wrapper), would dare to eat such a sweet thing? In this tutorial the candy DOES NOT stick! Hooray! Hooray! You can eat it! True, if you find the courage to unfold and destroy such beauty!
How to do:
Cut a strip of pink (red, yellow or some other) paper 4-5cm wide.
Cut it in half.
Fold each part in half. At the fold, we collect the strip into an accordion and twist it.
We bend one and the second (together) halves of the strip to create a depression in the middle.
We need 3 such boat petals for one tulip.
It is most convenient to work with candies whose wrapper is folded at the top. But you can try different sweets.
Unwrap the candy (not all the way). We insert a thin wooden skewer and now wrap the “tail” right on the stick. You can secure it with tape for safety.
We collect the petals around the candy so that their free edges are at the bottom and the folds are at the top.
Holding the petals from above so that they do not diverge, we tie the edges of the petals on the stick under the candy with a thread.
Cut off a green strip 3-4cm wide. Divide the strip into 3 equal parts.
We give each part the shape of a leaf: we narrow it at the bottom, leaving a width of 1-1.cm, cut off the top and round the corners.
We cut all the edges of the bud petals at an angle from bottom to top so that they do not puff up when we make the stem.
Cut out a green rectangle 17 by 7 cm. Cut strips 1cm wide from the rectangle.
Glue 1-2 leaves under the bud.
From such tulips we get beautiful bouquet . We tie it with a ribbon or come up with a more original packaging. I will suggest some design ideas at the very end of our conversation.

Actually you can do different tulips. In nature there are all kinds of colors, varieties and sizes. And all this gives us enormous space for imagination. If you are wondering if it is possible to make an open center and how to design a flower with a candy that has 2 tails, this one is for you!
Author MK https://youtu.be/S311XX5BzAA So what we need:
- Paper – red, white and green;
- Candies;
- Wooden skewers;
- Scissors;
- Glue gun;
- Ruler;
- Sisal;
- Tape;
- Stationery knife;
- Floral sponge;
- Decorative flowerpot.
We cut a strip of red paper measuring 16 by 2 cm. We twist the strip in the middle and fold it in half.
We stretch the middle of this blank.
We put the candy inside the blank and tuck both of its tails. We twist the edges of the workpiece.
We also need 7 strips 8 by 4 cm.
From seven strips we cut out petals with sharp edges.
Use your fingers to stretch the middle of each petal.
Glue 4 petals one by one around the candy blank.
Insert a skewer from below. And fix it with glue. Glue the remaining petals to the stick.
We wrap the stem with ribbon. Cut out leaves from strips of green paper 16 by 2 cm. We stretch the middle of the leaf a little. Glue the leaves onto the stem.
We got white and red tulips. Now let's make a composition out of them. We use flowerpots for this.
Cut the sponge to the size of the top of the pot. Place it in a container. We insert tulips into the sponge.
You can come up with your own pattern, in what order your flowers will be arranged. We cover the exposed areas of the sponge with sisal fiber. And we form the edging of the bouquet.
It turns out very elegant! The candies look like beautiful hearts inside. In that mk a container was used to give the structure a finished look. If you have a fancy flower pot or a pretty bucket, those will work too!
The easiest way to make tulips with candies
I love simple crafts! Then you can keep your child busy by involving him in working on the bouquet. Show him, tell him, do it together... and lo and behold, next March 8th you will receive such an original gift from him! Just don’t think that I’m looking for benefits, it’s just convenient to show children from childhood what they will need in the future.
Cut out 6 identical strips. On one side we cut off the corners and round them. On the other hand, we cut off the corners, leaving 1cm in the middle.
We stretch the leaves in the middle.
We tuck the tails of the candy and place the candy between the two petals.
Place the third petal on top. We tie the edges with thread.
We insert the wire between the petals. Glue the remaining 3 petals to the wire.
At the base of the flower we tie it with a strip of green paper. Cut out the leaf. We stretch it in the middle.
We tie the entire stem along with the leaf with a green strip.
You can create a beautiful ensemble from such flowers, dilute it with flax, small flowers and place it in a beautiful vase.
Option in 10 minutes
I'm in love with delicate color combinations. Of course, there is no big difference in how I describe the color in this microscope, because you can choose any one. But I like the way coral and sunny tones, salmon and other warm colors are combined so much that I decided to voice them)))
We will need:
- 1 pink-orange rectangle 15 by 7.5 cm;
- Another pink-orange - 12 by 2.5 cm;
- And 1-2 green – 12-15 by 2.5 cm;
- Adhesive tape;
- Green tape;
- Scissors;
- Threads;
- Candies;
- Tape;
- Skewers.
Let's create a bouquet with a surprise:
In a pink-orange rectangle (12 by 2.5), cut and round the edges on both sides.
We divide the pink-orange rectangle (15 by 7.5) in half.
Fold each square 2 times to make 3 identical parts.
We cut the edges from one side towards the middle and slightly round them.
We unfold it and get a “picket fence” with three teeth. We cut these “teeth almost to the end, leaving only 1 cm.
We stretch each of the three parts of the workpiece. You get cute petals.
We cut off the corners of the green stripes on one side and the other. To make it symmetrical, first fold the rectangle in half.
Stretch, giving the shape of leaves.
The long pink petal that we rounded is twisted in half and folded. We stretch the middle of the workpiece.
We separate the 2 parts. One should be concave in one direction, and the second in the other direction. It turns out to be a “pocket”.
We bend the tails of the candy and place it in such a pocket. This option is also good because inside 2 petals you can place not only a round-shaped candy, but also Raffaello , the wrapper of which is square in shape. It is not always possible to “hide” such candy. In this version it is very simple to place it between two curved petals.
The edges of the petals should overlap one another. We twist them.
We place this blank between the three petals and wrap them. We twist the edges and tie with thread at the bottom.
We cut off the edges so that they are not so lush.
Use double-sided tape to cover the edges of the skewer. We insert a skewer between the edges of the petals.
We glue the tip of the tape and begin to twist it from the base of the bud to the bottom of the stem.
When twisting, insert the leaves and secure with tape.
A whole bouquet of such bright tulips looks amazingly beautiful. But it’s worth finding out how you can arrange such compositions.
Bouquet design ideas
There is very little left to perfect our craft.
Why not wrap it like a regular bouquet? Additionally, you can decorate with ribbons.
You can sew envelopes for the composition. And decorate the flowers themselves with ladybugs and butterflies.
We talked about the flowerpot. And here is the basket. It looks like you just picked flowers from your garden.
Do you like toppers on desserts? Such flowers will be a wonderful decoration for cakes and pastries.
Or you can make a real gastronomic installation. There is tea and sweets for tea. Looks great!
If you have your own new ideas, I'm waiting for photos! It will be nice to become innovators and come up with something completely unusual! I will be happy to help you show off your talent and publish your design ideas.
I hope now you know what to give to your family and loved ones. Share this article on your social networks and help your friends with ideas! And don’t forget to visit regularly for new articles! You can always learn something new and interesting from me!
First, let's prepare the basket so that ready-made flowers can be inserted into it.
We take a floral sponge, which is designed specifically for working with dry flowers. Cut it to the shape of the inside of the basket. Fill the remaining areas with separate pieces. Please note that the distance from the edge of the basket to the sponge should be about 2-3 cm. 
Now let's start making flowers. We divide the skewers into 12 cm long sections. Simply break them in the right place with your fingers. We are preparing 11 of these sticks. 
We insert the skewer into the middle of the wrapped part of the candy so that in no case does the stick touch the candy. We wrap the paper well with tape and smoothly move to the skewer. 
Now we will make clothes for our candy. We cut the paper along the corrugation into strips 5 cm wide. Then we divide this strip into three equal segments. One tulip will be made from three such segments. Accordingly, for 5 pink tulips made of corrugated paper you need 15 pieces, and for 6 white tulips 18. 
Take a piece of one color and fold it in half. Then we straighten it back and at the bend we twist the halves in different directions. 
We twist it again, put the halves one inside the other and form a convex petal, slightly stretching the inner part.
We place a candy on a stick into this petal and begin to wrap white threads around the lower base, where there is no candy. We pull the thread very tightly so that it does not unravel. 
In this way we form a flower of three petals. We secure the thread with glue from a gun. 
Now we need to form the stem of the tulip, thereby hiding the wrapped thread. We attach the tape and begin to wrap it very tightly around a small bud, moving downwards. We wrap it around the middle of the skewer. 
Use green paper in the same way on the same stripes, but we form sharp corners on one side and the other. We twist one end with our fingers. 
We wrap the stem in a leaf, gluing them together with a glue gun. 
Place the sisal into the basket in an even layer so that no foam is visible. 
We begin to plant the flowers in the order we need. First, it is better to arrange the flowers in a circle, and then fill the middle. 
We tie the bottom of the basket with a ribbon and tie a bow on the handle. DIY candy tulips are ready!
Or bouquets of toys.
And the master himself can only wait for someone to present the same original gift in response, because as they say, “a shoemaker without boots.” We propose to correct this misunderstanding, and for every needlewoman to think about herself and decorating her home. So, for the next family holiday, holiday or just the arrival of guests, make bouquet of sweets"Tulips". Master Class below will describe the process step by step.
- small wicker basket
- Styrofoam,
- yellow corrugated paper,
- skewers,
- toothpicks,
- green tape,
- organza in two shades of green,
- yellow floral mesh
Performance:
1. To make one tulip from candy and corrugated paper, cut a strip 2.5-3 cm wide from a roll of corrugated paper. Cut it into 3 parts (about 17 cm long) - these will be 3 tulip petals. 
2. Bend each of the resulting segments 180 degrees in the middle and stretch the paper next to the bend so that it is concave. 
3. Fold the pieces of paper in half as shown in the photo. You will get three double petals. 
4. Attach the skewer to the tail of the candy wrapper and secure tightly with tape. In this case, the candy should not violate its integrity; in other words, do not pierce the candy with a skewer.
5. Now attach corrugated paper petals to the candy on a skewer and secure with tape. This will give you both a sepal and a green stem. 
6. Repeating steps 1-5, make 6 more tulips. Wrap the foam in any green paper and place it in a basket. Stick the candy flowers into the foam, distributing them evenly throughout the composition.
Place some candies on skewers, but do not wrap them in corrugated paper. Find their place in the bouquet of sweets. 
7. To close the free space between the “flowers”, make organza pounds and glue them to toothpicks. Make the same pounds from a floral mesh, fluff the edges. Stick yellow pounds at the bottom of the composition, and green ones between the flowers. So we got a bouquet of sweets. The master class is completed.
