How to make crowns from foamiran?

Foamiran is a relatively new but popular material that is used in the manufacture of various crafts. It is a practical and flexible raw material that can be easily shaped into almost any shape. In this article, we will learn how to correctly make crowns of different types from foamiran.

Nowadays, foamiran is one of the most popular materials that are used in the manufacture of various crafts. Masters of all levels turn to him to make not only beautiful, but also realistic things.

In order for a foamiran product to be as attractive and realistic as possible, it must be made correctly. The process itself is not incomprehensibly complicated and confusing. One of the main steps is drawing up neat patterns and patterns. Before making a template for the subsequent cutting of the crown, the master must definitely plan everything and decide on the specific type of accessory that he wants to make. It is equally important to make detailed measurements if it is planned to make a copy of this product.

If we are talking about a simple model of a crown made of velvety foamiran, then here you need to measure its girth and height using a simple centimeter tape. Measurement should be started from the center point of the forehead. The resulting numbers should be transferred to a rectangular sheet of paper. On its basis, you will need to build either a fence or curly teeth. In most situations, the lower border of the workpiece is depicted as arched.Thanks to this feature, the product is much easier and more convenient to fold and fit comfortably on the head.

When the master planned to make a diadem-type crown with his own hands, then first of all he needs to take measurements from the comb or hairpin, to which the foamiran structure will then be attached. There is also such an interesting subspecies of the crown, which is popularly called "kokoshnik". It requires measuring head width and height from the tip of the nose to the very top of the head. According to the revealed values, an arch for the kokoshnik is formed.

From the above, we can conclude that the process of making a crown from foamiran largely depends on its specific type and design features. Not only an experienced, but also a novice needlewoman can cope with all stages of work. If you belong to the latter category of craftsmen, it is best to rely on a detailed step-by-step master class when making an accessory.

A beautifully made foamiran diadem can become a very original and effective accessory. Subsequently, it will be possible to try it on in combination with a New Year's or other festive outfit.

To make such a bright and festive crown from foamiran, you will need:

• scallop;
• shiny and red foamiran;
• thin tinsel of silver color, fixed on a wire base;
• high-quality hot melt glue;

• Prepare the correct patterns. Place the scallop on an A4 piece of paper. Trace the upper border of the product with a pen. Cut the piece of paper according to the marked strip.
• Fold the piece of paper in half. From the top point, set aside the height of the tiara. Arc the top of the accessory with its edge.
• Cut out the template as carefully as possible. Put it on the foamiran, cut out the workpiece.
• The resulting workpiece along the bottom line must be divided into 3 equal segments.
• Transfer the length of one of these segments to a simple snow-white leaf, lift the arc guide from it.
• The next step is to cut an arc-like template and attach it to the bottom of the larger workpiece.
• Take a toothpick. Using it, sketch out the lines for the tinsel, moving along the arc of the small template.
• Carefully move the template over the workpiece in a checkerboard pattern. Continue to line up the lines.
• In accordance with the markings, slowly glue the tinsel. Cut off the unnecessary edge of the foamiran base in the upper half of the craft blank.
• On the reverse side, glue the upper and lower borders of the tiara with tinsel.
• Take the wire. Carefully but confidently pierce the diadem in the lower part in 4 places, keeping the same distance. Secure the craft to the teeth of the comb.
• On the back of the hairpin, glue the wire to the surface and mask its fasteners by attaching a dark felt strip.

After that, the product will be completely ready for use. If the work at all stages was done correctly, the accessory will turn out to be beautiful and attractive.

With your own hands you can make not only "royal" tiaras, but also funny crowns like a kokoshnik. To do this, you first need to prepare a template in accordance with the size of the user's head. For manufacturing, the following components will be needed:

• Glue the cardboard parts with foamiran as tightly and efficiently as possible.
• Wrap the hoop with a nice satin ribbon. It will be possible to securely fix it using high-quality hot melt glue.
• Gently bend the teeth of the future product. Press them with the ribs to the heated iron to secure the result and fix the formed structure of the kokoshnik.
• Next, you will need to glue the kokoshnik with the teeth directly to the rim. Sections with joints will need to be masked with shiny tinsel. Glue the fringe on the side sections.
• The next step is to string the prepared beads on the fishing line. The resulting funny garland will need to be glued to the upper border of the foamiran accessory.
• It's time to take the kanzashi flowers. Place them in each of the arches of the item. Decorate the top flower with large beads in the inner space.

After that, the accessory will be ready. It is perfect for complementing the image of the Snow Maiden, Snowflakes or Snow Queen.

• In the middle of the "skirt" on 2 sides, glue the circles cut from the foamiran. Their matte side should "look" at the material.
• Add a ribbon to the top of the hairpin. It is better to fix the atlas with hot melt glue.

Let's take a look at some useful recommendations for making foamiran crowns.

• A stencil for making any crown or diadem can not only be downloaded from the Internet, but also formed independently. Especially cool options are obtained from more experienced craftsmen.
• Cut out all the details as carefully as possible. Only use scissors with sharp blades - do not use blunt tools.
• To make a high-quality and beautiful crown, it is better to use not the Chinese, but the Iranian type of foamiran. It costs more, but looks more spectacular and turns out to be more practical, wear-resistant.
• When gluing the parts of the accessory, you should not be zealous with glue. If there is too much adhesive, the crown will be less attractive and less tidy.

Consider a few good examples of homemade crowns made from “obedient” and aesthetic foamiran.

• Miniature foamiran crowns with slightly curved teeth, complemented by beads, look very cute on thin rims. Their lower part can be decorated with light wide skirts. The crowns themselves can be of any color, such as white or pink.

• From golden foamiran, chic crowns with large, slightly curved teeth are obtained. You can decorate the product with shiny gold beads glued to the tips of the cloves and the bottom of the accessories.

• From the blue glitter foamiran you will get a chic Snow Maiden diadem. It can be decorated with silver and light blue pebbles, fluffy snow-white inserts that imitate fur. It is advisable to give the accessory an unusual shape with complex pointed details.
