Recently, I was asked to help decorate the tables for the autumn fair with beautiful bright sunflower flowers. At the same time, it is necessary to develop a project that would minimize the cost of each flower. Having thought over several options for work, I came to the choice of a budget option for making sunflower flowers from corrugated paper. I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the secrets of making paper flowers on the pages of the site.
For the creative process of creating a corrugated paper sunflower, you will need the following tools and materials:
corrugated paper in yellow, green, black, brown; green teip tape (optional); glue; thin wire or thread; scissors; ruler; if it is necessary to make a flower on a stem - a stick, a branch or a thick wire.
Manufacturing instructions:
Start by making the core of the flower. Cut off black and brown corrugated paper equal in width and length to each other. The width of each of the bands varies about 5 - 7 cm.
Cut with scissors on one side of the resulting notch strips.
Expand the fringe stripes. Lay together stripes of different colors (black and brown). Roll them around at the base.
Secure the core blank with thin wire or threads. Straighten the fringe. Press down with your finger to adjust the shape of the core.
From yellow paper along the “compression” strips, cut out rectangles with a width of 2-3 cm and a length of up to 8 cm. Cut the top of the rectangle in the form of a petal, as shown in the photo.
Gently fold each side of the resulting petal into a very thin tube.
For one flower, it is necessary to prepare from 14 to 30 petals, depending on the desired number of rows of petals.
The sunflowers shown in the photos have 24 yellow petals.
Similarly, cut and shape the sepal petals (up to 16 pieces), but from green paper. In our flowers, since they were planned to decorate tables with their heads, only 6-8 sheets of sepals were used.
Once the core and petals are ready, start assembling the flower head. First, glue the first row of petals to the core, followed by the next rows in a checkerboard pattern with respect to the previous row.
Glue each row carefully and after the glue in the previous row has dried, as the corrugated paper used is thin and soaks under the influence of a large amount of glue.
If desired, attach the sunflower head to a wire to a stick or branch.
Cover with green crepe paper or duct tape where the head meets the stem.
Sometimes you want to please your closest, dearest people and just buy a gorgeous bouquet, it seems banal. In this case, a beautiful handmade bouquet would be a suitable option. But in order to compose a whole bouquet, it is necessary to determine what flowers it will consist of. Therefore, today we propose to learn how to make a sunflower from the simplest corrugated paper, which can be included in a flower arrangement or create an independent bouquet.
Today, not only the most popular, but also a very tasty way to create a sunflower is to form it with the help of sweets and corrugated paper.
Such a composition is perfect for creating a festive mood for any celebration, and pleasant surprises in the form of sweets will only enhance these feelings. Our small master class will help to create such a wonderful flower.
How to make a do-it-yourself sunflower from corrugated paper in MK
For this you will need:
- truffle candy;
- yellow corrugated paper;
- green teip tape;
- floristic mesh;
- skewer;
- polysilk;
- scissors;
- threads.
Now let's start creating the flower itself. We cut off a square of polysilk of such a size that it can be wrapped around the candy. After the candy is wrapped, the edges of the square must be secured with a thread. It doesn't matter if suddenly you don't have a polyseal, in this case you just need to pick up a candy in a package suitable for the middle.
We cut out a similar square from the floristic tape and re-wrap the candy, and fasten the edges with a thread in the same way. Thus, our candy has become like the middle of a sunflower with seeds.
Next, cut off a strip of yellow corrugated paper 9-10 cm high. The length of this strip should be enough for 3-4 turns around the candy. The first option for further action is to fold this segment several times and cut out the petals, which will occupy a third of its height.
There is also a second option, for its implementation we wrap the candy in 3-4 turns without cutting out the petals. The edge of the paper on one side must be secured with a thread. Then turn the edges down and only now, gradually, you can cut out the petals.
Now we insert the skewer inside, without piercing the candy, and with the help of a teip tape, we form a sepal with spiral turns. We wrap the skewer to the end, slightly stretching the tape, and fix it at the bottom.
After that, you can form a composition or a bouquet of such sunflowers with sweets, or stick green leaves to them.
Of course, you can give nice handmade bouquets not only to women, but also to men. Only the nature of the surprise should be somewhat different.
Most men enjoy various things, but it is unlikely that many of them will refuse a gift box of beer and a bouquet of "pistachio" sunflowers.
So, let's try to make a male beer bouquet of sunflowers with pistachios.
You will need:
- corrugated paper in yellow or orange;
- a strip of black paper 1.5 cm wide;
- scissors;
- glue;
- pistachios;
- plastic bags.
- We cut out two identical sunflower flowers from yellow corrugated paper and make a small hole in them.
- Pour pistachios into a bag in a small batch and carefully tie.
- We insert the tail of the bag into the holes of both colors. We unfold the flowers in such a way that the petals are arranged in a checkerboard pattern.
- Similarly, we make several of these colors.
- Using double-sided tape, we fasten all the flowers into a bouquet and straighten the petals to make the sunflowers look natural.
- Now such a bouquet can be placed on top of a gift beer barrel and delight your beloved men.
To create bouquets, ordinary sunflowers from the most ordinary corrugated paper, which have a center of coffee beans, are also suitable. To create them you will need:
- corrugated paper in orange, green and brown;
- coffee beans;
- thermal gun;
- scissors;
- skewer.
First, cut off a strip of orange paper measuring 10 × 50 cm, cut through and shape the petals with scissors. We need three such blanks. Next, glue them on a pre-cut circle of brown paper. The petals of each subsequent layer should be staggered.
After that, using a thermo gun, glue the coffee beans in a chaotic manner to the middle. We stretch the flower petals slightly, and twist the edges with our fingers.
On the wrong side of the flower, we glue all the large sheets in a checkerboard pattern, and then the small ones on top. To decorate all the errors, cut out a small circle and cardboard and wrap it with green corrugated paper. We also insert and glue a skewer on the hot glue, and carefully close the hole, twisting the edges of the paper. After that, with the help of teip tape we decorate the stem.
The flower is ready!

If you need to make a handmade gift, then a sunflower will be a great solution in this situation. It is always relevant and very beautiful. The technique for making it from corrugated paper is quite simple, so even a novice master can handle this work, and the result will please with its unusualness and will not leave anyone indifferent.
Corrugated paper sunflower with candies
Such a bouquet will be especially pleasant and useful if it is with sweets. In this case, this gift will become not only aesthetically beautiful, but also tasty.
For work you will need:
- Candies
- corrugated paper
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Cardboard
- hot glue gun
- Wire
- round nose pliers
- Brown tulle
- Ribbons
- Green polypropylene packaging tape
Manufacturing process
- Identical strips for petals 1 cm wide are cut out of yellow corrugated paper. The size of the petals depends on the size of the sweets. Petals are cut from each strip by cutting corners.
- Each petal, after cutting, is twisted with scissors and one end is twisted a little with your fingers, forming petals that look like sunflower petals.
- After completing the yellow petals, you need to make green petals. To do this, a strip of green corrugated paper 1 cm wide is cut out, divided into equal parts and petals are created in the same way, but their length should be slightly less than the length of the yellow petals.
- After creating the petals, the flower itself is created. To do this, a small base in the form of a circle is cut out of cardboard. Its size depends on the size of the candy. Additionally, another circle is cut out of brown corrugated paper, but its size should be slightly larger than the size of the cardboard blank.
- A brown corrugated paper circle is glued to a cardboard blank. At the protruding edges, cuts are made with scissors. Each edge is smeared with glue and folded into the inner side of the cardboard circle.
- A wire is taken and with the help of round-nose pliers one end of it is rounded. A cardboard base is attached to the resulting loop using hot glue.
- On hot glue, yellow petals are alternately glued to the bottom of the base. This procedure is performed in several rows.
- A row of green petals is glued to the bottom.
- Squares are cut out of brown tulle. They are folded into triangles on both sides, fixed with a drop of hot glue and glued alternately along the entire row along the inside of the sunflower.
- The stem of the flower is wrapped with green polypropylene packing tape.
- The bottom of the candy is smeared with glue and glued to the base in the central part of the flower. It is better to use sweets with a flat bottom, then the middle of the sunflower will have a natural look, and it will be very convenient to glue such sweets.
- After creating the required number of such sunflowers, a bouquet is formed, which is decorated with corrugated paper, tied with a ribbon and a beautiful bow is attached.
Corrugated paper sunflower with pistachios

Manufacturing process
- Strips 1.5 cm wide are cut out of yellow corrugated paper and petals are formed.
- Equal strips of the same width are cut out of green corrugated paper, but the length is slightly less than the length of the yellow petals.
- A strip of width equal to the length of the petals is cut out of brown corrugated paper. On one side, this strip is cut, forming a fringe, which is twisted with fingers. On the opposite side of the strip, small triangles are cut out along the entire length.
- Pistachios are placed in transparent cellophane foil and wrapped to form a ponytail.
- A strip of brown crepe paper is wrapped around the bag of pistachios and glued with hot glue.
- Yellow petals are alternately glued around the brown strip in several rows.
