- napkins.
As soon as all the tools are at hand, you can proceed directly to the manufacturing process itself.
How to do it?
Work on a product begins with making a pattern. First you need to determine the size of the flower. If it is planned to create a growth product, then the parameters should be large.
A single flower pattern of a simple garden lily includes:
- 7 petals (4 small, 3 large);
- one strip 1 cm wide and 7 cm long;
- triangle with sides 2 cm.
The water lily has the following components:
- 3 large leaves - they should look like a slice of tangerine in a cut, the diameter of one part is 12 cm;
- 7 white petals;
- 20 smaller petals;
- 2 white stripes 2.5 cm wide and 19 cm long.
To create a bud, you need to paint and connect all the cut out parts.
Lily making workshop
Suitable for novice craftswomen.The manufacturing scheme is very simple. Be sure to find a picture of a lily on the Internet before starting work. Having carefully examined the arrangement of the petals, stamens, leaves, they begin to cut patterns from the foamiran leaf.
Here's a step-by-step guide.
- After all the templates have been cut out, every detail must be tinted. If white was chosen for the flower, then brown blotches should be applied to the petals. This can be done with a thin brush and brown paint.
- Cut leaves from green material.
- The leaf blanks are heated to create a wavy shape.
- The petals are also heated and shaped.
- To make a pestle, you need to take 3 pieces of wire 9 cm long.
- Bend the end of each segment and shape into a loop.
- The segments are folded together so that the workpiece looks like a pestle. The segments are twisted.
- Using the yellow tape, the wire blank is wrapped 4.5 cm downward.
- The pistil is tinted. For this, you can use pastels in red and green shades. The bottom is painted over in green, the top - in red.
- Assembling the flower. The petals are glued to the pistil in a circle, with an overlap. The petals are glued vertically, while the glue is applied at the base of the workpiece.
If the remainder of the wire is not needed, it is cut off. However, you may need it to make a lily branch. The remaining part is pasted over to the end with tape or green foamiran. Thus, you can create 3-5 flowers and collect them in a bouquet. For a flower arrangement, the remaining wire sections of all products are twisted together and decorated with tape.
Bud execution scheme
First, we make the stamens. You need to take pieces of wire and glue the ends with brown foamiran. To add naturalness, glue is applied to the top of the stamens and dipped in instant coffee. The parts are allowed to dry and screwed to a thick wire. It will serve as a stem for the future flower.
One large white stamen is glued to the center of the bud. It is made by wrapping white foamiran around a wire.
Now you need to collect the flower. The petals are overlapped around the stamens. First, small petals are glued, then large ones.
Stamens can be made from glitter foamiran. The flower will turn out to be more original. However, it is not recommended to use shiny material for petals and leaves.
In this case, the realism of the flower will disappear.
Making unopened buds
These buds are needed to create a bouquet of lilies.
- Take a wire and make an oval foil base on it.
- Apply glue to the base and cover with white foamiran.
- The material must be kneaded with your fingers. This will create the irregularities that a living, unopened bud has.
- A small part at the base is tinted with pink paint or pastel.
- A green tape is glued to the tip of the bud.
- The green leaves are fixed with glue to the stem. They are glued, starting from the bottom, and then wound around the stem.
- The wire is wrapped with tape or green foamiran.
Water lily
- Take 3 large green leaves and form the veins with a toothpick.
- Tinted details with green paint or pastels.
- Cut 7 small 6 cm leaves.
- Heat small pieces, pull out and fold in half.
- White petals are also toned. The bottom is painted with a bright yellow tint, the top is pink.
- To give structure, a relief is applied to the petals with a toothpick.
- Cut out two white stripes 2.5 cm wide and 19 cm long. Cut the bottom of each to create a fringe effect.
- The bottom of the stripes is tinted yellow, the top - pink.
- The strips are heated. It is necessary that the fringe sticks out a little in different directions.
- Make a small ball of foil and glue it over with white or pink material.
- After the ball is pasted over with fringed strips.
- The fringe is folded in the center so that the ball is not visible. The fringe is also curled on the sides. Moreover, it should lie on the petals.
- The petals are overlapped.
- The flower itself is glued to the leaves that were made at the beginning.
Double yellow lily
Terry lilies are unique. Their size reaches 17 cm. They have many petals. The stamens are completely absent. There is a pestle instead. This foamiran lily will be an excellent decor for the interior.
- Craft a pestle. Step-by-step instructions for creating a pistil are presented above, in the MK for a simple lily.
- Prepare 4 templates for petals:
- 1 template - dimensions: height - 6.5 cm, width - 3 cm;
- 2 template - 7.3 cm and 3.5 cm;
- 3 template - 9 cm and 4 cm;
- 4 template - 9.8 cm and 4.5 cm.
- Cut out the yellow petals. One flower requires 3 petals of each type.
- Using green pastels and a napkin, tint the base of each blank on both sides.
- Heat the parts and form a mold on the mold.
- With the help of dark red paint and a thin brush, blotches are applied to 1/3 of the petal. Wait until it is completely dry.
- Stretch the edges and crease the top of each piece. Twist the edges a little. Small petals are folded in half and also slightly twisted.
- Assembling the lily begins with gluing the petals # 1. Glued in a circle with an overlap in a vertical position.
- Petals number 2 are placed between the first, also positioned vertically.
- Blanks # 3 and # 4 are fixed with glue just below the previous ones, almost at the very base.
Lily is ready. She can decorate not only the interior. The flower looks great on hairpins, hoops, in the design of panels or paintings.
