Topiary of rosebuds - step by step instruction

1. We prepare all materials for work.

2. At the first stage, we cut out rectangular pieces of corrugated paper with a width of 8 cm and a length of 5-6 cm.

   To the note: the direction of folds on the corrugated paper should be along the longer side, then to form the bulge of the petal.

   We fold the petal twice and gently cut the upper corner, the result is reflected in the photo.

   
   
3. Using a toothpick, bend the top or sides of the petal.

4. A little pull the fingers of the petal, to form a natural bend.
   
   
5. We glue the bottom of the petal with office glue.

6. We wind the finished petal on the toothpick, forming the middle (from the left to the right edge).

7. The other petals are adhered to the toothpick similarly to point 7, forming petals.

   Note: for a single flower, 12-15 petals are required.

8. We take a rattan ball, we begin to fasten flowers on it with the help of silicone glue.

   To the note: First, you need to place the flowers on the ball in such a way that you can see the drawing of the topiary. If it suits you - it can be fixed with a gun with silicone adhesive.

9. The next step is to form the basis of the topiary. To do this, you can use any pot, bowl or box. Decorate the base with corrugated paper of the same colors as on the ball. A leg can be selected from those materials that are used for fastening. In this case, it was convenient to decorate with a satin ribbon a Chinese wand for sushi.

   Attention: the thickness and strength of the legs should hold the floral bowl vertically, without bending.

10. And the most important moment is to install the flower ball on the stem. You can attach the topiary silicone glue and decorated with a bow of the same color.
