How to make hydrangea from foamiran?
To make beautiful artificial flowers with your own hands, it is recommended to pay attention to foamiran crafts. It is an affordable material that will be comfortable to work with even for a beginner. A variety of flowers are obtained from synthetic canvas, and in this article we will take a closer look at the process of making hydrangeas.
Materials and tools
To work, you need the following.
- Foamiran. The canvases are sold in rolls or sheets. You can choose any color you like.
- Glue gun and spare stick with consumables. You can also use superglue.
- Scissors. Many craftswomen use manicure.
- Mold. Silicone mold to give the canvases an expressive structure. In the master class that we will look at first, rose leaf mold is used.
- Green tape.
- Oil pastels set.
- Thin and simple wire.
- White polymer clay.
- PVA glue.
Manufacturing technology
Foamiran hydrangea can be made by hand. With a detailed step-by-step MK for beginners, making flowers of amazing beauty will not be difficult.
The workflow is as follows.
- To begin with, we will make a leg and a core for the future flower. We need a piece of wire about 5 centimeters long. You should also prepare a few pea-sized clay balls.
- Make a neat loop at the edge of each piece of wire.
- We smear the tip with PVA glue, using quite a bit of adhesive.
- We put a polymer ball over the stem.
- Make marks on the ball using scissors, gently pressing with a blade.
- Using dry pastels, the core needs to be given the desired shade.
After processing, leave the workpiece to dry completely. The process will take from 2 to 4 hours. The result will be the item shown in the photo.
Now let's move on to creating a flower.
- To do this, we cut the foamiran into squares. The size is 2x2 centimeters. We fold each element several times, as shown in the pictures.
- We give the pieces of porous material the desired shape using scissors. As a result, neat details are obtained - these are the flower petals.
- Now they need to give them the necessary texture. So the artificial hydrangea will be as similar to the real one as possible. At this stage, we need an iron. Heat each element on both sides, pressing against the heated sole. While the petals are dark, they need to be pressed against the mold (silicone mold). Here's what you should end up with.
- Use pastels to gently color each element to create a dramatic look.
- Gently pull the top corner of the petal up and twist. This will give the element the desired shape.
- Now you need to give the petal a characteristic boat shape. To do this, pull the petal in different directions with your fingers. Be careful not to tear the material. The finished items look like this.
- We connect the two elements together. We glue the first petal to the previously prepared stems. Use a hot gun or other effective compound. Glue the next part in the same way. Decorate the bud in such a way that the petals on opposite sides are opposite each other.
- Now you need to decorate the hydrangea stem. We take the green ribbon. We cut it into 2 strips, in the center. Begin to wrap the stem of the base of the bud towards the bottom. Press the tape tightly.
A beautiful handmade flower is ready. This is how the product looks from the front side.
But behind.
Note: You can make an original craft without mold. A banter is sometimes used instead. This is a tool that is often used in various types of needlework, especially for sculpting.
Consider another option for making hydrangea from foamiran. Exactly following the step-by-step instructions, you can make an original product from available materials.
List of required tools and materials for work:
- two sheets of porous cloth of different colors - for leaves and petals;
- mold (in this case, a model is used specifically for hydrangea);
- a set of multi-colored pastels;
- superglue or glue gun;
- artificial stamens (blanks are sold at any craft store);
- sticky tape for the stem;
- iron;
- sharp scissors;
- wire.
Craft making.
- The work should start by creating a sufficient number of leaves and petals. The more there are, the more magnificent the hydrangea will turn out. To do this, use special templates and cut out the required number of elements from the foamiran. Use the sample attached below. Print this diagram and make a template out of cardboard or heavy paper.
- Now the blanks need to be given expressiveness. This is where molds come in handy. We turn on the iron, heat it up and apply each element to the sole separately. After a few minutes, apply a warm foamiran piece to the mold and press it down. Use the "Silk" mode while working.
- To make the craft look more attractive, using pastels, you need to draw each blank along the edges and in the center.
- Now you need to connect the petals to the core. We pass the finished stamens through the center of the flower. To make the hydrangea more lush, two elements of porous material are used for one stamen.
- We fix the flower with glue.
- Then, using a template, we make a sheet of green foamiran. Cut off a piece of wire, braid it with tape and glue it on the back of the sheet.
- Next, the flower and leaf must be rewound with tape. This process is clearly demonstrated in the photographs attached to the first master class.
In this case, the craft is collected from a blank with four petals. This greatly facilitates work and saves time. Combine several flowers in one composition for a lush and vibrant bouquet of artificial hydrangeas.
