The process of creating a brooch from foamiran is considered simple, so even children can make such an original decoration with their own hands. For beginners, the following guide (master class) on making with a step-by-step description of the implementation will help to simplify the creation of a brooch.

• First of all, you should choose schemes and create templates for future decoration. The leaves should be 9 cm long, the petals should be 1.5 cm wide and 4 cm long, and the sepal should be no more than 4 cm in diameter.All the details of the flower are cut out using ready-made templates, and there should be at least 20 petals.

• Then the petals are applied to the heated iron. - this is necessary so that foamiran becomes pliable for processing and can bend. The veins are made neatly using a spagger. After that, the petal is folded in half and pulled out, giving it a natural look. At this stage of manufacturing, you will need to glue the material at the base.

• The next step is to create the center of the flower. For this, a cut out strip of yellow foamiran is taken (25 cm long and 1 cm wide). This strip is wrapped around a wire, and everything is fixed with glue. Fringe gets better with scissors. In order for the middle to acquire a convex shape, the edges must be cut off.

• After that, the ends of the fringe and the middle are slightly tinted with green paint. Once everything is ready, you can start carving the sepals and leaves. The circle, from which the sepal will be formed, is divided into 16 identical parts, then twisted, warmed up on the iron and straightened. The veins are drawn with a skewer.

• The manufacture of the craft is completed by assembling and fixing all the details.... This requires glue. The petals in the first row are glued around the middle at a distance of 5 mm from each other. After that, the petals are glued in the second row, observing a checkerboard pattern. The wire is cut off, two sepals are fixed on the glue, then all that remains is to glue the leaves and a metal brooch. The product is ready, if you wish, you can decorate it with beads, colored stones or sparkles.
