How to Make a Snowdrop from Crepe Paper

Introduction

Handmade crepe paper flowers are a beautiful and durable way to bring a touch of spring into your home. In this description, we will show you how to easily and quickly create a snowdrop from crepe paper using materials from EM ART. Follow our steps and create a unique decoration or gift.

Necessary Materials

• Crepe paper – white and green
• Aluminum wire – about 1 mm thick
• Silver stamens (or another color of your choice)
• Hot glue gun
• Scissors

Step 1: Preparing the Basic Elements

1. Cut about 25 cm of wire, which will be the stem of the snowdrop.
2. Cut a strip of white crepe paper 2 cm wide.
3. Divide it into three pieces of 10-12 cm each – these will be the petals of the snowdrop.

Step 2: Making the Petals

1. Take one of the pieces of white crepe paper and fold it in half.
2. Twist both halves slightly in opposite directions and fold again to form a petal.
3. Gently stretch the crepe paper to give it a natural shape.
4. Repeat these steps with the remaining two strips to create three petals.

Step 3: Assembling the Snowdrop

1. Prepare 6-7 stamens by folding them in half.
2. Glue them to the top of the wire using a hot glue gun.
3. Start gluing the petals around the stamens, slightly overlapping each one.

Step 4: Shaping the Stem and Leaves

1. Cut a strip of green crepe paper (about 1-2 cm wide and 20 cm long).
2. Gently stretch the paper and start wrapping it around the wire, securing it with a hot glue gun at both ends.
3. For the leaves, cut two or three strips of 10 cm in length.
4. Shape the leaves by folding the strip vertically and rounding it with scissors into a leaf shape.
5. Glue the leaves onto the stem and slightly bend the tips downward for a more realistic look.

Tips and Ideas

• You can make an entire bouquet of snowdrops and tie it with a beautiful satin or organza ribbon.
