For beginner craftswomen who want to make such products on their own with their own hands, the following master class will help.

The first step is to prepare wet wipes, pink and white pastels, a sheet of white foamiran, scissors, petal blanks, an automatic hairpin, a glue gun, a toothpick and white stamens.

Then the templates of the blanks (3 pieces of different sizes) are applied to the sheet of material, the outlines of their contours are made using a toothpick. After that, the petals are cut out, their edges are drawn with pink pastels. Thus 8 workpieces should be processed, 3 of which should be more contrasting, since they will be placed in the center. In order for each petal to acquire texture, it must be ironed with an iron, choosing the working position "wool", as a result, the petals will become much softer and rise.

The next step will be to twist the petals into a tube, this should be done immediately after ironing them with an iron, until they have had time to cool down. Thus, you get a beautiful bud. After the petals have cooled, they should be straightened, slightly stretching along the edges, as they should be thinner. Next, the flower is assembled, the petals can be glued only with special glue, in rows, from larger to smaller workpiece. In order for the petals to stick together correctly and not fall apart, at the end of the work, it is recommended to insert a toothpick into the middle.

While the flower is drying, you can start making stamens, for which you will need a thin wire of a light shade. The stamens are folded in half, tied and pulled by a wire into the center of the flower. On the seamy side, the excess wire is cut off, the remaining ends are tied. The production is completed by fixing the flower to the hairpin, using glue for this. If you plan to glue the flower on an elastic band, then it is recommended to plant it first on a small piece of foamiran so that the composition does not disintegrate.

The most delicate and beautiful flower in such a bouquet is a rose. In order to independently make a chic decoration in the form of a bouquet for the bride and her girlfriends, you must prepare the following materials and tools in advance: blanks of rose petals, foil, glue, scissors, two sheets of pale green and pink foamiran. First, you need to make roses, for this, blanks are prepared from thick cardboard (petals are drawn and cut out), then they need to be circled on a sheet of foamiran with a simple pencil and cut with scissors. In this case, it is not necessary that all the petals are the same size; for work, you will need 5 small and 5 large petals. They should be warmed up with an iron, then gently stretch the edges with your fingers to make them wavy.

Then you can proceed to the direct assembly of roses: first, balls roll from pieces of foil, the smallest petal is wrapped around such a ball, then everything is fixed with glue. All other petals need to be glued in a checkerboard pattern, as a result, you will get a small bud. The next step will be gluing large petals, the edges of which must be warmed up with an iron. The assembly of the rose is completed by cutting out the leaves from light green foamiran, they are also heated with an iron, twisted into a tube and lightly pressed. After that, the tubes unfold, ready-made leaves are obtained, which are glued to the back of the rosebud with glue. In a similar way, the required number of roses is prepared and a bouquet is formed.

This type of jewelry can be used for both everyday and festive looks. To make such beauty on your own, you will need to purchase sheets of foamiran of several colors, cotton swabs, sheets of thick felt, toothpicks, and also have an iron, PVA glue and a stationery knife on the farm. To start needlework is to prepare patterns for the future necklace and the base, which can serve as plastic suede. In the future, all decorative elements will be attached to the base; the substrate for it must be made in advance from a sheet of thick paper. This will provide the product with stability and shape retention.

Then you need to fix a rep ribbon to the base, it can be replaced with a chain, satin and leather ribbons. The choice of material depends on the personal preferences and wishes of the girl. The next step will be the process of creating buds and leaves for flowers that will fit on the necklace, for this you need foamiran sheets. From the material of coffee and milk shades, it is necessary to make several blanks of petals measuring 2 * 1.5 cm, from foamiran of chocolate shades - several rectangles measuring 4 * 2 cm.Flower petals are prepared from blanks of light colors, and flower leaves are prepared from rectangular blanks, the edges of which should be decorated carving notches.

After all the preparatory measures, it is necessary to iron all the petals and leaves, then bend and twist them, giving the natural shape of the plant. Further, the material is bent, with the help of a toothpick, veins are made on the petals.Thanks to this, the necklace will become more natural. The production of the necklace ends with the most important stage - the assembly of the main composition.
