Let's get acquainted with one of such MK.

If you decide to make spectacular homemade crocuses from foamiran with your own hands, you do not forget about one of the most important stages - the preparation of templates and patterns for patterns. It is for these elements that the master will be able to cut all the petals, which will be the same and as accurate as possible. Of course, there are also such needlewomen who do not need templates, and they may well cut out all the components, relying only on their own eye. If you are new to such matters, then there is no point in taking risks.

For simple flowers like crocuses, you only need to stock 2 templates. As the first blank, you will need to apply a homemade flower petal template. To sketch it on cardboard or paper, you can imagine a tennis racket, draw the outline of a circle with a grid and a small piece of the object's handle. The height of the template should not exceed 5.5 cm, while 1.5 cm should fall on the handle. The optimal part width is 2.5 cm.

A blank for making crocus leaf plates will resemble an elongated and thin detail of a triangular structure. Its approximate height is 2-4 cm. To build 1 crocus flower, you will need to cut 6 petals and 2 leaves in accordance with the templates. It will be necessary to work correctly with the patterns. Shape the petals and leaves into the correct shape. This can be done if you act on an elastic material with high temperature indicators.

On sale you can find special molds, with which it will turn out to give the elements the necessary shape. These are handy tools, but a wizard can do without them. Instead of molds, it is permissible to use various materials at hand. For example, to process crocus patterns, you will need to use an iron and a piece of corrugated paper. Let's take a closer look at how to properly process patterns for foamiran crocuses.

1. Cut 6 petals and 2 leaves for 1 flower according to the template.
2. Warm up your iron. It is better to set the temperature to a medium level.
3. Attach the details of the future flower to the hot platform of the device for literally 10-15 seconds.
4. Next, press the foamiran elements against the corrugated paper (use pressing movements, shaking the pad of the thumb).
5. The veins on the leaf should run along the petals.
6. After that, you will notice that veins have formed on the leaves, outwardly they have become more similar to natural ones.
7. Treat all leaf blades in the same way.
8. If you are preparing crocus from snow-white foamiran, then the half at the bottom of the petal will need to be tinted using dry pastels. Pick a nice shade of light green.

When all the components of the future crafts are prepared, you can proceed directly to the assembly of the components. When forming an artificial crocus, pay great attention so that all the petals are located at the same level. This is especially true for those flowers that have a small number of elements. In addition to leaves and petals, for the manufacture of foamiran crocus, you also need to prepare the middle. To build it, you will need to cut out a small rectangle with a height of 3.5 cm and a width of 2 cm from yellow foamiran.

We will analyze step by step how to correctly collect foamiran crocus.

1. In the first step, cut the top of the rectangle, giving it a fringe shape. Take the wire. Lubricate the bottom of the rectangle with adhesive (it is better to use Moment glue). Wrap it around the wire base.
2. Both pistils and stamens should be present in the bud. They can be purchased at a specialized outlet for creativity, or you can build them yourself.
3. To do this, cut off 3 pieces of wire, the length parameter of which reaches 3.5 cm. Attach yellow polymer clay balls to all of the listed bases.
4. Send the blanks to the oven. When the stamens become dry and cease to be hot, coat them with glue, dip them into semolina. Paint the dry semolina with yellow paint.
5. Secure the stamens to the wire in different directions, but in line with the winding where the fringe is present.
6. Prepare 3 crocus petals, stick them in 1 row around the center piece so that their edges "meet" each other.
7. Build the 2nd row from the other 3 petals. They also need to be glued as close to each other as possible. Place the components from the 2nd row so that they can cover the joints of the petals located in the first row.
8. Wrap the lower half of the petals with green floristry tape. The same should be done for the crocus stem. If you do not have such a ribbon, you can use a thread of a suitable color instead of it.
9. Next, you can proceed to fixing the leaf plates of the artificial plant. They must be placed parallel to each other, closer to the lower half of the stem.
