Volumetric paper flower

The development of fine motor skills is always useful for both adults and children. Therefore, this type of creative work, such as creating a 3D flower out of paper, will have a beneficial effect on fine motor skills. Well, the bonus will come in handy somewhere else, as an option, as another crafts child to kindergarten or school. Therefore, be in a good mood and create together with your child. And step-by-step photos will help you with this.
Where should you start? It's simple: start by finding the paper from which you plan to make a flower. You can choose colored paper of any shade, or you can simply use white square tear-off sheets.

You will need only 12 such sheets. Divide these sheets into 3 groups of 4 pieces. Then you need to cut out 12 circles of different diameters, respectively: 4 of the largest, another 4 of medium size, and the last 4 circles of the smallest diameter.
Determine the size of the circles yourself. It will depend on what size flower you need. In this master class, paper squares measuring 7 cm were used, so the maximum diameter of the largest circles did not exceed 7 cm, respectively.
It should be clarified that if you decide to use not tear-off square sheets, but a solid sheet of colored or white paper, then you simply need to cut out 12 circles of different diameters on it: 4 circles of each size.
To cut out circles at home, if you don’t have a compass, you can use, for example, mugs of different sizes as a stencil, and even a glass will do for small circles.
In general, there are many options, the main thing is that the result should be a group of 12 circles like this:

Then it's time to move on to turning these paper circles into flower petals. To do this, each circle must be folded in half.

Then in half again:

And again in half:

You need to cut out the petals from the resulting piece. To do this, just draw a contour along which you will then cut.

On the cut piece you need to make a cut almost to the center:

Then the entire workpiece needs to be unfolded, simultaneously making cuts at the joint. As a result, this should look like this:

To make the flower more beautiful, you can make the tips of the petals contrasting. Any colored pencil or paint will help with this. And even a five-year-old child can cope with this task (tested and approved by this master class).

This “transformation of a white circle into a beautiful petal” must be repeated with each workpiece of all sizes. The result should look like this:

Now you can begin the process of directly assembling the flower. At this stage, everything is simple: you need to glue all the blanks from largest to smallest. Only the central part of the petals needs to be glued. In the end, you will get this “semi-finished” 3D chrysanthemum:

Why "semi-finished product"? Because this chrysanthemum lacks a core.To make it, you need to take a strip of paper 1-1.5 cm wide and cut a sort of “fence” on one side along the entire length.

Paint the ends of the “fence” the same color as the ends of the petals themselves.

Then the ends of the core need to be twisted inward with scissors.

Then roll the entire “fence” with a roller and glue it to the center of the flower. 3D paper chrysanthemum is ready!
