In general, you don’t need to buy primroses, make them from paper, and I’ll tell you how.
Take a strip of white crepe paper 35mm wide
Crepe paper for children's creativity quite thin, to make snowdrops you need to glue two layers of paper. Carefully spread a 35mm wide strip of paper crosswise with a glue stick and cover with a second layer of paper. Pretty soon the paper will dry.
Fold it like an accordion in three layers and cut out the petals in the shape of an elongated drop.
To make flowers, it is most convenient to use special floral wire. Now you can buy special Japanese floral wire already wrapped in green paper. But if you haven’t found such wire, you can wrap the wire yourself. Cut a piece 3-5 mm wide from a roll of olive-colored crepe paper. Dip the tip of the paper tape into PVA glue and begin wrapping the wire. Glue the end of the tape.
Take a piece of wire 12 cm long, dip the tip in PVA glue and wrap a piece of cotton wool, as shown in the photo.
Coat the top with glue. You can dip this center of the flower in semolina, colored in yellow or simply paint with watercolors.
Let's make the inner petals. Take a strip of white paper 25 mm wide, cut one edge into scallops and tint it green. To ensure that the color matches the leaves perfectly, I tint using the crepe paper that the leaves and stem wrappings are made from. Crepe paper usually sheds a lot, put a piece of paper and drip water and PVA glue onto it. After a while you will get a greenish liquid PVA. them with help cotton swab You can paint the inner petals.
Wrap this strip around the center. You need to carefully stretch the center of the petals with your fingers, giving them a convex shape.
Apply glue to the center of the flower and glue the petals. When the glue dries, wrap it with a strip of crepe paper.
Take a strip of olive-colored paper 50 by 25 mm. Fold its edges and twist one end. Trim off most of the curl. This is the top leaf, glue it just below the flower.
The most delicate, most desirable primroses are, of course, snowdrops. In order not to disturb the harmony of nature, not to pick these in order to admire them for just a few days, it’s better to make snowdrops with your own hands!
Veronica Podgornaya (nika-po) shows how to make snowdrops with your own hands in 1 hour.
Materials:
- corrugated paper
- thin wire
- tape
- semolina (or paints)
- PVA glue
- threads
- scissors
White stripe corrugated paper 35 cm wide must be folded in 3 layers and cut out the petals in the shape of a drop:
An ordinary thin wire should be wrapped with green corrugated paper or tape (the length of the stem is about 12 cm):
Dip the tip of the finished stem into glue and wrap a little cotton wool around it (like the head of a cotton swab):
Dip it again in glue, and then in semolina, previously painted yellow (instead of semolina, you can use yellow acrylic or watercolor paint):
For the inner petals you will need white corrugated paper 25 cm wide. Cut scallops from one edge along the entire width. Then the same edge needs to be tinted green, which should ideally match the color of the crepe paper used for the leaves.
Victoria colors white paper using green. To do this, PVA glue and water are dripped onto a piece of green paper. After some time, the glue turns greenish (because the paper fades).
Using this same glue, use a brush or cotton swab to paint the carved edge:
Lubricate the core of the flower with glue and carefully attach 3 white petals to it. When the glue has dried, wrap the entire stem with tape or corrugated paper, extending slightly over the petals.
For the leaves you will need green paper 25x50 cm. Twist the end of the paper into a narrow rope, then cut off the twisted part. This way you have made the first snowdrop leaf.
Glue it to the stem:
From green paper glued in 2 layers, cut out oblong leaves and also glue them to the stem:
A charming bouquet of snowdrops is ready!
Snowdrops from foamiran
Alla Shvorak invites you to join her master class on creating snowdrops,
Let's at least use paper to bring the beginning of spring closer and make an origami snowdrop. Here are 3 options from the simplest to the slightly complex.
The following were used in the work:
- Double-sided green colored paper;
- White paper;
- Scissors, glue stick.
Origami snowdrop for children: the easiest option
Making a flower
Prepare white paper in a square shape.
Fold it in half, from corner to corner.
This step is not shown in the photo, but children can fold the paper again to determine the middle of the triangle. You can skip this step and immediately raise the right and left corners up, placing them as symmetrically as possible with respect to the upper corner. The flower is already ready. If desired, you can cut out two green triangles or a quarter of a circle and glue it (them) to the base of the flower.
Making an origami snowdrop stem and leaf
Very young children can simply cut out oblong leaf Older children can make a sheet.
Prepare a green square piece of paper.
Connect the opposite corners, turning the square into a triangle. This will mark the fold in the middle.
Unfold the paper, returning it to a square shape, and fold the sides, aligning them along the fold.
Align the bottom sides along the fold in the same way.
Repeat the steps again, although now it will be a little more difficult. Fold in the top sides, aligning along the center line. Right.
Then left.
Now make folds at the bottom. Right.
The origami sheet is ready. If desired, the folds can be glued so that they do not open in the future, especially if the children do not have enough strength to press them well.
The stem is made of a long strip folded into a thin tube.
Glue all the components together and you get this origami snowdrop.
You can twist the ends of the stem so that the flowers “look” down.
Origami snowdrops: making the work more difficult
Despite the loud statement, this method of creating a flower is also very easy, just a little more steps compared to the previous one.
The stem will be the same as the leaf.
Prepare a rectangular piece of paper.
Fold it in half lengthwise to mark the middle.
Return to original condition.
Fold the corners, aligning them with the fold in the center.
Then center the sides there, directing their outer edges towards the middle. Right.
Left. The flower is almost ready.
Cut a quarter of the circle and glue it onto the sharp base of the flower.
Glue the flower to the stem, don’t forget the leaf, which, by the way, can simply be cut out of paper.
Origami snowdrop with complex flower
In the third option, the flower is much more complex than the previous ones. Moreover, the most difficult part is at the end, since you need to understand the principle of folding the sides, which can be quite difficult for children.
For this flower you will need a square white piece of paper.
Fold it in half, from corner to opposite corner.
You can fold it again to determine the middle of the triangle.
Fold the corners, aligning them with the fold in the center. This action and subsequent ones are needed to create the necessary folds.
Open the paper, then fold the side corners again, aligning them with the outermost side folds.
Open the paper again, you should have the folds as shown in the photo. Two on the edges and one in the center.
Now fold the corners, aligning them along the new extreme fold. Thus, we added one more, third fold along the sides of the paper.
Fold the right corner to the third fold, the second will be in the center.
Now on the left. You will get something like petals.
There are important moments here, and difficult ones for children. Bring the created petals together at the front, pushing back the fold at the front as you go.
Now redirect the folds inward on the sides.
Press down and the flower is ready.
This is what it looks like from behind.
According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the illegal trade in wildlife ranks third in terms of profitability after the trade in drugs and weapons.

Cut out leaves from olive-colored double paper and glue to the stem.
The first flowers among the snow, harbingers of spring, cheerful and beautiful snowdrops. It is rare that they can leave anyone indifferent. Let's look at how to make snowdrops out of paper with your own hands with diagrams and photos.
Gift for mom
On March 8th, Birthday, and just to get in the mood, we’ll make a bouquet of snowdrops for moms. Let's start with the most simple options, which can be used even in kindergarten before the spring holiday. Below are two ideas for children to make a simple spring applique.
- for the little ones.
To make the application you will need:
- cardboard for background;
- colored and white paper;
- glue stick;
- children's scissors.
Cut out a stem from green paper and glue it to the cardboard. Cut out the leaf and sepal from green paper using a stencil. Then we ask the child to trace his palm on a piece of white paper and cut it out. Glue everything to the base and get the baby's first applique.
- for older preschoolers.
These kids can already do much more and have worked with scissors more than once. They can be given a more difficult task, for example, a vase with snowdrops. The materials and tools are the same.
First we make blanks from colored paper. To do this, cut out a vase and a napkin from paper of any colors. Next, we first cut out rectangles from green paper, and then parts from them:
- 9 white rectangles 2x4 cm - petals;
- 2 green rectangles 1.5x4.5 cm - leaves;
- 2 green rectangles 1.5x5.5 cm - leaves;
- 3 green rectangles 0.5x7 cm - stems;
- 3 green squares 1.5x1.5 cm - triangular sepals.
Glue the parts to the base in the following order:
- below - a napkin, openwork side down;
- glue the vase onto a napkin;
- stems;
- leaves;
- Lubricate 6 white petals with glue on one side and glue them obliquely on both sides to the stem;
- Glue the remaining 3 petals, 1 to each flower in the middle;
- press the side petals a little towards the center to create volume;
- glue the sepals.

Basics of technology
Unusual, memorable and beautiful are works made using the origami technique, which was developed in Ancient China and was developed and improved in Japan. It involves folding paper figures. It sounds simple, but the schemes can be quite complex, and then you cannot do without certain skills and abilities.
According to the technique, origami is divided into:
- Classic - a figure is created from a square of paper by folding without the use of glue or scissors;
- Modular - entire compositions are created by connecting individual modules, like a construction set.
The addition methods are also different:
- simple origami - folds along and across, intended for beginners;
- folding according to Pattern - the model is created according to a preliminary drawing depicting folds;
- wet folding - before folding, the paper is wetted, which gives smoothness or rigidity to the lines, depending on the desire of the author.
Master class on creating a snowdrop using origami technique:
For work we will need a simple white paper square 8x8 cm, as well as a green square 10x10 cm.
We perform all further actions according to the following scheme:
- Fold the white square in half, placing the bottom over the top.
- Fold the rectangle in half.
- Raise the bottom corners to the fold line.
- Place the right corner on the left.
- Glue the corners and turn them over.
- Pull the first layer of the right corner, aligning the fold lines.
- The flower is ready.
- Fold the green square in half.
- Lower the upper sides of the square to the fold line.
- Raise the bottom sides to the fold line.
- Fold in half, lowering the top corner to the bottom.
- Fold in half.
- Pull the corners in different directions.
- Turn the corners up.
- Glue the flower with the angle inward to the corner of the stem.
- Possible tilt of colors.
