Compositions with small roses will look beautiful in the interior. On the Internet, you can find a huge number of different step-by-step master classes for making such crafts, we will consider the simplest option that anyone can do. First you need to take a sheet of cardboard and, using a compass, draw three circles with diameters of 6.5, 7.8, 9 centimeters on it. Then you should visually divide all these drawn circles into five equal parts.

Laterby dividing the circles, you need to make cuts in such a way that you get flower petals. The resulting cardboard blanks are carefully transferred to foamiran. One bud will need one piece of each size. All blanks are carefully painted with an acrylic compound using a sponge. The color should be chosen according to personal preference. When painting, it is better to gradually reduce the brightness as you approach the center. To do this, the pigment is simply diluted with water. This technique will make the design more beautiful and interesting.

After that, you need to heat up the iron a little. Each individual petal is applied to a heated assembly. With the help of fingers, heated blanks are given a slightly convex shape, while stretching the central part. To heat-treat the product, you should apply it to the surface of the iron for a few seconds, but they should not be kept there for too long, so as not to spoil the appearance of the material.

Along with this, you need to take the foil and make another blank out of it. It should be tapered. Later, a wooden support is inserted into it, which is securely fixed with an adhesive mass. To the resulting foil cone, they gradually begin to glue all the foamiran blanks. You should start with the smallest petals. The end of the foil should not be visible.

It is worth fixing the petals through a row, you need to complete everything with the fourth line. After that, you need to proceed to the next row, repeating the procedure. It is better to glue the largest details to the third line, so we can give future roses splendor. Later you need to take green foamiran. From it you need to cut a substrate for flowers.

To decorate the substrate, it is first completely dried after painting, and then small cuts are made on the material with small scissors. The workpiece is heated with an iron and several veins of different thicknesses are drawn on a heated base with a toothpick. The ends of the backing are heated again with an iron and pulled slightly with your fingers. A wooden support is taken out of the flower, a metal wire is placed there instead. It is securely fixed with an adhesive mixture, after which the part is masked with green material, you can use colored paper or cardboard, satin ribbon of the appropriate color.

If you decide to make a beautiful arrangement of small roses made from foamiran, you should adhere to some important recommendations. remember, that you need to work with this material as carefully as possible. After all, foamiran is a rather fragile base that is easy to break. With sudden careless movements, its appearance is easy to spoil, as a result, the craft will turn out to be ugly. Also, do not forget that when working with foamiran it is better to use a special glue gun. It will not only greatly facilitate the work with small parts that need to be fixed, but will also avoid possible damage to the material.
