Recently, glossy magazines have greatly upset me, because among the beautiful pictures I can not find an interesting article. But even such magazines can come in handy - from high-quality glossy paper with bright drawings, you can make an extraordinary bouquet for interior decoration.
To make a bouquet of old or new glossy magazines, you will need a magazine with color pictures, glue, wire or thin wooden sticks (for the stems), green tape (or corrugated paper, also, as a last resort, duct tape), scissors.
Making a flower from an old magazine is very simple. To do this, select a magazine page with a large picture, preferably an advertisement (after all, it is there that the colors are chosen most harmoniously, and the page almost completely fills the picture). Cut the page in half lengthwise, then fold each half lengthwise and cut into "noodles". These "noodle" loops will be the petals of future flowers.
Take a thin wooden stick or stiff wire and wrap a cut sheet around its tip, glueing the edge with office glue (or whatever you are used to using to glue paper). As you twist, fold back the narrow petals to make the flower lush. To create a lush flower, you can use not one, but two or four halves of a magazine sheet.
After the flower is ready, mask the stem with a strip of green paper (wrap a green strip around the stem starting from the flower).
For magazine flowers, you can also cut green corrugated paper and glue it to the base of the stem with a drop of glue.
Helpful Hint: Match magazine pictures to create beautiful color transitions.
