Paper Lotus Flower

Good afternoon, dear viewers and readers! In today's instruction, I will show you how to make a DIY paper lotus flower.

To create a lotus flower out of paper, we need:

• Coloured paper.

Essential Equipment:

• Scissors.
• Ruler.
• Pencil.
• PVA glue stick.

First you need to mark the paper with a ruler and a pencil. From a sheet of A4 paper, we need to get 6 squares with dimensions of 9 cm by 9 cm, we will need the remaining strips after cutting out to complete the formation of a lotus flower.

In total, we need 8 pink squares and 8 green squares.

Next, proceed to the formation of a lotus flower. Take a square piece of paper and fold it in half. Then fold the sides in half again.

Then we spread the sheet of paper so that we get a rectangle. After we begin to bend the corners in the form of triangles, first on the side where there is a solid fold.

Then we need to fold the corners on the side where there is no solid paper seam. Next, we bend this part of the paper and turn the blank over to the other side and bend the corners. We should get a blank in the form of a boat.

Then the sides of the resulting shape need to be moved apart and one edge bent inward. In this way we get a flower petal.

Next, we need to insert the resulting petals into each other. Previously, the sides of the petals must be greased with glue stick for better retention.

Next, on the green square, you need to step back 3 cm from the side and make a mark. Then we need to bend the sides so that we get three identical folds.

Then on each side you need to bend the edges to the middle. Then all once again you need to bend exactly in the middle.

Then we need to fold the corners on the side where there is no solid paper seam. Next, we bend the other part of the paper and turn the blank over to the other side and bend the corners again. We should get a blank in the form of a boat as described before.

Next, the resulting parts must be inserted into each other and glued as in the first case.

Next, prepare the middle part. We will use the remaining strips 3 cm wide and about 60 cm long. On the blanks along the length, you need to make many small cuts in the form of small strips. Then everything needs to be twisted into a tube and glued on the edges.

Then we begin to glue all the details together. Glue the lotus flower to the bottom first. Then we glue the part in the form of a fleecy tube in the middle of the flower.

Then you can enjoy the finished result. This paper lotus flower will delight you and your loved ones!
