How to make flowers from foamiran with your own hands?

Foamiran is the material from which very beautiful and naturalistic homemade products are obtained. Different types of flowers look especially impressive. Often, at first glance, it is not possible to determine their artificial origin. In today's article, we will learn how you can make flowers from foamiran with your own hands.

Before embarking on the formation of flowers from foamiran, you should find out what the main features of this interesting material are.

• Foamiran is a material with a high level of softness.
• The material stretches, retains its shape.
• The material does not retain moisture. Products made from it can be washed with water.
• Foamiran is a pliable material. It lends itself to embossing, takes on and retains different shapes.
• Foamiran absorbs paint and lends itself to staining. Foamiran is an environmentally friendly material.

Let us consider in detail which components will be needed for the self-production of foamiran flowers.

• Floristic wire. To make flower stems, you will need to use thin colored wire. Part diameters usually range from 0.1 to 3 mm.

• Foil and foam parts. To make flower buds, seed boxes and other parts, you should make blanks from pieces of foam or food foil.

• Pistils and stamens. Each flower must have these components.They can be purchased ready-made or made from nail polish, threads and semolina.

• Coloring compositions. To achieve naturalism, craftsmen resort to toning greenery, petals and other components with coloring compositions of different shades. Acrylic and oil compositions are better suited for work.

• Additional consumables. We are talking about flock powder, glitters and rhinestones. These components are ideal for creating original effects.

• Scissors. Foamiran sheets are cut without problems, so ordinary scissors of sufficient sharpness can be used. In the role of an auxiliary device, it is permissible to use scissors that have rounded edges. With such tools, it is much more convenient to cut out leaves and petals with bends.

• Cutting tools. A simple pencil and pen will not work in this case. For high-quality and correct cutting of the necessary parts, it is better to use a toothpick, a blunt needle.

• Adhesive composition. For procedures with foamiran, it is strongly recommended to purchase glue characterized by increased fixation. To make it more convenient to work, you should first take a hot-melt gun.

• Iron. To give the foamiran parts the desired shape, as well as to reduce their thickness, the workpieces are slightly heated by means of an iron. At the same time, it is very important to act quickly and accurately.

• Stationery. We are talking about a ruler, pencil, pen, cardboard and paper sheets - these components will be needed to make quality patterns.

• Stencils and templates. It is better to prepare such elements in advance so that making flowers from foamiran is easier and more convenient. You can make the templates yourself, or you can use the schemes taken from the Internet - there are a lot of options.

You can make many different flowers from foamiran with your own hands - both field and indoor, and spring, and the rarest varieties. It is also possible to make chic huge handmade bouquets, flowers in pots, baskets, vases and many other interesting crafts that look natural.

Consider step-by-step instructions for making beautiful foamiran flowers yourself.

You can make a very beautiful rose from foamiran. To do this, you will need to first cut out the blanks of all petals and leaf blades. To this end, you need to take cardboard and draw the necessary blanks on it. Then they are cut along the contour.

Let's consider step by step how to proceed.

• When all the blanks are cut, they will need to be painted with acrylic paints. The color should be darker towards the edges and base.
• Next, the petals need to be heated on an iron in order to ensure their attractive shape later. To do this correctly, each petal must be twisted and then stretched.
• Then the wire must be supplemented with a type tape. The core of the rose is formed from the foil. It will be possible to fix it with a glue gun. Then you can proceed to sticking the petals on the foil.
• The leaves will also need to be heated to make them curled. String them on a wire and attach to the base of the flower. Next, you need to glue the petals further, adhering to a checkerboard pattern.

The result is a very beautiful rose. You can make several roses and make a realistic flower arrangement with them that will look gorgeous.

Lush, voluminous peonies can be made from foamiran. Let's consider the step-by-step procedure.

• First you need to prepare paper patterns. You will need to apply drawings of future petals. After that, the blanks will need to be cut.

• Next, the blanks will need to be painted so that the color of the petals is darker towards the edges and base. Due to this, the flowers will be more naturalistic. Then it will be necessary to paint the sheets. Veins should be drawn on one side.

• In order for the petals to acquire the appropriate volume, they will need to be folded correctly. Corrugation of parts should be carried out by folding them like an accordion. The top of the petal is twisted tightly. When the part is unwrapped, you can see how realistic it has become.

• The leaves need to be folded in half and then stretched. On the sides, the foamiran will need to be gently crushed with folds to get the effect of frills on the foliage.

• Now you need to make a large ball out of foil. It will serve as the base of the peony. Using glue, a wire is attached to the rounded part, a core blank is placed on it.

• The pointed rays are folded up, the stamens are made with the help of yellow paint. Then with a glue gun, the first 10 petals are glued to the core, and after them the details of group B are attached. Next, the petals of all other groups are attached.

Foamiran tulips are easy to make. Let's figure out how to do them correctly.

• A petal is depicted on a cardboard sheet. The height parameter should be 6 cm, the width in the central part - 3.5 cm. Then the template should be cut out.
