Steps to make hydrangeas

Step 1Making hydrangeas

You cut a strip of corrugated paper, take the vertical grain horizontally and stretch it vertically, measuring 7.5x3cm .

Then, you fold the paper twice and cut the ripple to create the petal shape. When cutting, be careful to leave a little at the foot so we can stick it on the branch. You can use scissors to trim and edit to make the petals more beautiful.

Cut hydrangea petals

After cutting, we will get 4 hydrangea petals.

Step 2Making pistils

You cut a small piece of paper. You can cut excess paper from the petals to save paper. You cut that piece of paper into 2 different large and small parts .

Shaping the pistil

The small part we roll into a round shape. Then, you use zinc 24, dot a little glue at the top of the zinc and put the ball that has just been washed on top. Then, you use the larger excess paper to wrap the round head to form the pistil.

Step 3Stick 4 petals on the pistil

You use milk glue, stick each petal in turn on the pistil so that all 4 petals embrace the pistil. Remember to gently squeeze at the bottom to make the glue stronger. Then you edit the petals while the glue is still wet.

Next, you use a long crepe paper, about 1cm wide, to wrap the radio and the entire bottom. You apply a thin layer of glue at the end of the wire, then put the top to cover the calyx and wrap it all the way to the bottom and apply a layer of glue at the bottom end.

Make a lot of small petals so that I can graft them into one big flower

Step 4Flower grafting

You graft 2-3 flower branches together to form a small bunch. Then use a strip of paper to wrap around the body.

Pair hydrangeas into bunches

Then, you combine 2-3 small bunches together to form 1 larger flower cluster. Remember to combine small bunches in a row to make the flower clusters look more natural and beautiful.

Step 5Stick the flowers on the branches

Join the bunches to form a large hydrangea

You wrap green paper wire around a thick zinc wire, about 20cm long to make the body. Then, you use a strip of green paper to both wrap around, and combine the flower clusters in turn to form a large flower.

Step 6Shape the leaves

You use green crepe paper, cut into a rectangle of size 8.5x6cm . Then, you fold the paper in half, use scissors to cut ripples to create a leaf shape. Since hydrangea leaves are serrated, use serrated scissors to cut the edges of the leaves.

Use serrated scissors to trim the leaves of the hydrangea

You use a strip of paper of the same color as the leaf to wrap around the 24 zinc branch to form the stem of the leaf, remember to leave a small piece to be able to stick the leaves on. To glue the leaves on, you apply a layer of glue on the zinc stalk, then stick the leaf and squeeze it gently with your hand so that the glue sticks to the paper.

Step 7Perfecting the hydrangea

Wrap the paper around the hydrangea twig

To make the stem thicker, use 1 strip of toilet paper, fold it 3 times , then wrap it around the large zinc body and secure it with milk glue. Next, you use a green strip of paper to wrap around the stem, and at the same time you graft the leaves onto the stem and fix the paper strip with milk glue.
