I advise you to buy a comfortable Japanese floral wire - it is perfectly smooth and already wrapped with paper.
If a special wire is not available, you can take a soft copper wire - from old transformer coils, electric shocks and stranded cables. In this case, first will have to learn how to quickly and gently wrap the wire with paper stalks.
How to enclose wire paper
Paper Cut on a strip of 3-4 mm wide across the folds (at right angles to roll). Cut the wire to pieces of 10-15 cm, with longer pieces work is inconvenient. Apply a little glue at the beginning of the strip and a few more places. Click the paper to the wire with one hand and rotate it with a big and index finger. The other hand is straightened and direct the paper strip at an angle of 45 to the wire. Paper should be a dense spiral to crush the wire. After the paper was glued to the wire, go through the finished part of the fingers, moistened with glue.
Bud
Take a piece of wire with a length of 5-6 cm. Dry the wire tip in the glue and form a bone shape.
Launch the resulting bud with glue. While the bud is not drying, tuning it with a pink watercolor. Green paper will cut off the cloves, smear the glue and wrap around the bud - it will be a cup of sewers.
Stychkin
Cut the white paper strip 4 cm wide and cut the fringe.
Scrub the strips of fringe with fingers. On the wire 8-10 cm long make a small hook. Crochet hook the edge edge with fringe and screw on the wire, lubricating glue. Cut them up to a length of 12-15 mm. Cuts Suit into the glue and in the yellow semi.
Petals
A white strip of a white width of about 4 cm fold the harmonica of 12 layers (the width of the fold is about 12 mm). Cut petals. Petals can be squeezed with fine oil pastels or watercolor paints. If you have chosen a watercolor, then place a strip of paper before cutting the petals, on the newspaper. First, wet the paper with water, in order to get a smooth transition from the painted areas to unpainted, and then neatly tinker the ends of the petals. Dry paper on the newspaper.
Purge the billet of petals in the center and tighten. Wrap around the wire with stamens (lubricate this place with glue) and tie. The face with five petals should look up. Pour your fingers first the top tier of petals, and then the bottom. Gently stretch the middle of the petal, giving it a convex form.
Leaves
Leaves are made of dual paper. Gently grease a piece of paper with a pencil with a pencil, put on its middle of the wire and cover with another piece of paper. When paper dries, cut the leaf on the template.
Build a branch
Take one, two or three flower, several buds and a couple of leaves. Tightly bind the details of the twig in two additions, be sure to two places, at a distance of 2-3 cm from each other. Loose glue and wrap a brown paper strip, you can in several layers. Each layer lubricate glue.
