Regardless of the birthday of the birthday, on the eve of his birthday, family members try to at least a little decorate the entire apartment. And in the living room, where the celebration usually takes place, decorations are fixed wherever possible: on the wall, ceiling, curtains, and even furniture.
For wall decor, floral and decorative elements are usually used in a flat or three-dimensional form.
Flat wall decor, as a rule, consists of many elements. To speed up their cutting, it is convenient to use cardboard stencils. You can draw and make them yourself. The main thing is to cut out the details evenly and accurately.
One of the options for a flat decor is flowers with petals from hearts folded in half, which you can make from paper with your own hands simply and quickly. If you stick such a floral arrangement on the wall, it will look quite interesting. For convenience and ease of work on cutting hearts, it is better to use stencils.
You can decorate the ceiling with both individual colors and whole garlands. Most often, hanging floral and decorative elements are used for this. Hanging paper flowers for ceiling decor help create a mesmerizing atmosphere, especially if they are attached to thin threads that are difficult to see from below. The hanging decor looks light and airy, so it will seem to guests that flower pompoms soar above the room.
The universality of the manufacture of floral decorations for celebrating a birthday lies in the fact that they can be made from any available material:
- white office paper;
- corrugated paper;
- tracing paper;
- brown paper;
- at worst, you can even use toilet paper.
Colorful fan
A simple paper fan, which many usually use as a fan, made of multi-colored paper, can be a wonderful decoration in the room where the birthday is planned.
Such products can be made in different colors. For children's parties, yellow fans are most often made, which resemble the sun. Particularly impressive look on the wall of colored paper products, if the colors are combined correctly.
For such a fan, dense scrapbooking paper is multi-colored or with a fine pattern, and it is done as follows:
- any size sheet of paper folds into an accordion;
- the resulting strip is bent in half, its inner ends are fastened with tape or with a stapler, after it is opened, a semicircle is obtained;
- then, by analogy, the second semicircle is made, after which both elements are fastened together;
- fan circles can be decorated with bright buttons or hearts cut out of cardboard, gluing them in the center.
That's all the original fan decoration is ready for further use.
Corrugated paper decoration
One of the most popular types of floral decorations is corrugated paper decor. Indeed, from this universal material, you can make both small flowers for volume garlands and a large flower. All decorations made of corrugated paper look great in any interior.
Most often it is used in the manufacture of:
- peonies;
- carnations;
- dandelions;
- exotic flowers.
Thanks to the lightness of cloves and dandelions from corrugated paper, they are ideal for making flower garlands. It is no coincidence that many are interested in how to make such flowers from corrugated paper. But this is not difficult at all, you just need to take a stack of corrugated leaves, fold it with an accordion, drag a thread in the middle and dissolve the petals on both sides of the waist - the result is a very fluffy ball. If you use flowers made from thick paper for garlands, they will not look as gentle and airy as floral decor from corrugated paper.
Flowers to decorate the interior of the living room for birthday celebrations are often made quite large. Therefore, in their manufacture it is more convenient to use crepe paper, which is sold in half-meter rolls.
When working with it, no stencils are needed. The roll, without unwinding, is cut into three equal parts. Sometimes, to make a room decor with your own hands, an even larger roll is cut in half. For greater splendor, take two, or even three parts of the roll, from which one tape is glued. After which it is folded with an accordion, making the width of the folds 3 cm or slightly wider. Then the petals are cut and rounded by the scissors the upper edge or give it any other shape. A stack of petals is pulled together with a narrow ribbon, departing from the bottom edge of 5 cm. It remains only to neatly straighten all the petals, giving them the shape of a flower.
DIY magic pompons
Paper pompons are one of the budget options for decorating the hall for a birthday. Miniature, toy-like pom-poms are often used as furniture decor; they can also decorate a festive table, making it more vivid.
Large, colorful pom-poms hanging at different heights transform space and create a festive atmosphere.
Want to learn how to make a clove pompom? This floral and decorative element always turns out quite magnificent, therefore it will look very elegant!
For its manufacture, no stencils are needed, you just need to stock up on:
- tissue paper;
- scissors;
- with a ribbon;
- wire;
- glue gun;
- foam balls.
Having prepared all of the above items, you can get to work.
- We cut off a piece of tape so that the long ends are enough to hang the pompom, and glue the ball in the middle.
- We take 4 sheets of paper 12x24 cm in size, put them in a pile, make an accordion out of it and fix it in the middle with wire. The edges of the resulting strip are cut in a semicircle.
- Having straightened the ends folded in folds, we get a nice flower bud, which we attach to the foam ball with a glue gun.
- To cover the surface of the ball will require about forty of these buds, so the work will be quite painstaking, but the result is worth it.
After all of the above, there is no doubt that handmade decor made with the soul can easily compete with paper decorations, which are offered in large numbers by different stores.
