And here as a home decoration, it is preferable to use artificial roses, which most closely repeat the texture and realistic image of flowers.
Someone thinks that such a plan cannot be fulfilled, but it is not.Thanks to the development of modern technologies and a wide variety of foamiran, each person can create artificial beauty with a lively effect.
Roses made from this material can have different colors and sizes, they can be presented as individual flowers or whole bouquets.
Each craftswoman will be able to make her wildest fantasies come true with the help of a revelor. Foamiran roses can be used to decorate a festive dish, decorate a wedding table or some of its elements, for example, glasses of newlyweds. You can create artificial wild red rose bushes in a pot and place it on your dining table or windowsill. You can decorate headbands, hairpins, dresses, suits, brooches with flowers made of marshmallow revelor. They can be supplemented with bracelets, earrings, necklaces.

They can be laid out in a spiral from the sides, or only the corners can be decorated.
Tools and materials
Before you start creating artificial roses, you need to prepare a few tools and materials. First of all, it is foamiran itself. Its color and density are selected according to the requirements for the composition being composed. Most often, marshmallow colors are used for buds. And the petals are prepared from green Iranian revelor.
In addition to the main material, you will need paper, cardboard, pencil, compasses, ruler. Pastel paints, a shading sponge may come in handy. You will also need a glue gun, toothpicks, wire, foil, scissors, iron and tape.
This list provides a basic set of tools and materials required to create realistic roses. Perhaps, for the convenience of work, the craftswomen will need a file, a needle or any other item.
How to do?
For those who first came across the making of a rose from revelure, it is necessary to get acquainted with the master classes of experienced craftswomen. They also recommend starting with the simplest crafts, namely, with goblet-shaped bud roses. For their manufacture, one-piece blanks are required. You can make a beautiful bouquet from several prepared flowers with your own hands without using modern technologies. The main thing is that the process of creating one bud does not take much time. It is very important to follow the step-by-step scheme of work.
- First of all, you need to draw a stencil on cardboard - 3 circles of different sizes. The diameter of the large one is 9 cm, the middle one is 8 cm, and the small one is 6 cm. Each circle is a cutting template that allows you to make neatly shaped foamiran petals.
- Prepared sketches are transferred to the revolver, a pattern is made taking into account each individual detail.
- To give the future rose life, you need to use pastel paints and a sponge. The pigment is applied to the petals with abrupt touches. It is desirable that their tips are darker than the center of the flower.
- The iron creates the natural shape of the petals and leaves. The iron is heated and then applied to each individual petal. After that, the material should be stretched, giving it a convex shape.
- Once the bulk of the buds have been prepared, you can start collecting the sepals. Foil must be used to create the base. It is twisted into a cone, a wire is inserted into the middle, which plays the role of a stem.
- Petals are attached to the prepared skeleton. Ready-made forms, starting with the smallest, are put on a stick and glued to the base.
- Next, you need to form a substrate. It is cut from grassy foamiran, the edges are slightly incised.
- The substrate needs to be heated, use a toothpick to form realistic streaks.
- The last stage of work involves gluing the flower to the substrate. As an addition, it is necessary to make a frame with a tape-tape.
The finished rose bud can be placed anywhere, such as a bedroom or bathroom.
Big
Having got acquainted with the basics of creating a flower from foamiran, you can proceed to a more complex master class and try to make a large tea rose with a diameter of 65 cm and a height of 2 m. Such options for decorative flowers are used for exhibition pavilions and photo platforms.
First of all, you need to prepare tools and materials. You will need a metal-plastic pipe - 3 m, scotch tape, green and pink foamiran, a stapler, green corrugated paper, cardboard, tape, glue.
Having collected the necessary tools and materials, you can get to work.
- Foamiran pink leaf is bent in half 2 times. After it is divided into rectangles measuring 30x35 cm. You will need 6 of these. In a similar way, 2 more rectangles are cut from another sheet of foamiran. Then the rectangles are folded together, and petals are cut out of them.
- The remaining material is cut into 2 equal 30x30 cm squares. You need 6 of these. From the resulting squares, similar petal blanks are cut, but smaller.
- The fourth sheet of the revelor is divided into 3 parts, the dimensions of which should be 70x20 cm. Cut out the resulting strips into a rectangle measuring 20x26 cm.
- Prepared workpieces must be pulled by the extreme part, thereby creating a wavy shape for them.
Next, you need to make the base for the flower.
- You need to cut a square of thick paper 20x20 cm, carefully round the edges. Then fold the petals at the bottom and fix them with a stapler. The top 2 rows of petals are preferably 3 folds. For subsequent ones, it is preferable to make 2 folds.
- Then you need to retreat about 5 cm from the extreme part of the base and glue the 1st petal. Thus, the 2nd and 3rd rows are glued. Small petals 12x15 cm in size are cut out of the remains of the materials. There should be 6 of them. They are given the appropriate shape, 1 fold is made. They are glued in the 4th and 5th rows.
- The workpieces are heated with an iron, folded like an accordion, rubbed with your fingers, which gives them a convex shape.
- The rest of the materials are curled into a funnel and glued in the middle of the base.
At this stage, the rose is considered finished. You can make it huge by complementing the flower with a stem from a metal-plastic pipe, which is also decorated with revelor or corrugated paper.
Small
Having made a huge rose, you can try to create a miniature flower from marshmallow foamiran. However, the craftswoman will have to be especially careful in her work.
- Initially, you need to make patterns. For work, you will need 6 purple petals - 2 pieces of 3 different sizes, as well as 3 green leaves.
- The templates must be ironed through the paper sheet.
- Depressions must be formed from the bottom of the petals.
- With the help of a heated iron, the petals are pulled up to a wave-like shape.
- For workpieces of medium and small sizes, it is necessary to make a roll and a pinch at both ends.
- The sepal must be folded into 1 leaf and carefully scrolled by pulling its edge.
- A conical base is made of foil.
- The foil cone is pasted over with layers of tiny petals, then medium ones, and at the end - the largest ones, placing the petals so that they completely cover the foil.
Peony
Surely a master class on creating a small rose seemed difficult to many. The simplest and most interesting to perform is the peony flower.But first, you need to prepare tools and materials, namely: foamiran in several shades of yellow and green, scissors, a glue gun. As additional elements, you can take a wire, a thick hook or foam rubber.
Now you can get to work.
- First you need to make blanks for rose petals and leaves. You can take cardboard templates, or cut out the necessary shapes directly on the foamiran. You should get 12 petals of one shade of yellow and 6 of another.
- It is necessary to give the petals the appropriate shape. Small and medium-sized items need to be ironed. The heated blanks are applied over the foam rubber and pressed down with a hook. Large petals are warmed up and fixed in a similar pattern.
- It is necessary to string the sepal onto a toothpick and attach an iron to it. This will give the tips of the petals a slightly curved shape.
- A thin wire is taken, cut into 4 pieces. A loop is folded at the end of each.
- 3 small petals are fixed to each wire base, so that their edges are directed to one side.
- According to a similar scheme, 4 petals are glued to the workpiece, following the dimensional increase. The third layer also involves gluing 3 petals to each blank.
- Next, the workpieces are twisted in pairs.
- From the bottom, you need to glue 4 petals of a darker color, and on top - a lighter shade. At the end, the largest petals are fixed.
To make it more realistic, you can slightly tint the outer parts of the petals using bed paints.
Shiny
Roses from glitter foamiran look quite unusual, but very impressive. Such flower crafts can be used to decorate the interior, as well as to complement an evening look.
For work, you will need a glue gun, iron, paints, paper, a sponge, scissors and toothpicks. The presented list of materials and tools can be called partial. For the convenience of work, the craftswoman can use any other items.
Having prepared the tools, you can get to work.
- First, a pattern is made from cardboard, on the basis of which petals from foamiran are cut out. The more petals you get, the more magnificent the flower will be.
- Now you need to make the base. A small piece of polymer clay is taken, crumpled into a drop and put on the tip of the wire. After that, the base is lubricated with an adhesive and fixed to the workpiece.
- Using a sponge, you can paint the base in the desired color.
- The cut petals are processed with a hot iron. They fold in half, twist, thereby acquiring a natural shape.
- The cut leaves should be painted green and stretched slightly.
- Petals and leaves must be glued around the base. The first ones are glued with an overlap, bend up a little so that the rose takes on a natural look.
- The edge of the last petal is folded under the first petal. This means that the rose is ready.
On the stem
The master class on creating a foamiran rose on a stem is very difficult. The work itself requires the special scrupulousness of the craftswoman.
But if you put your soul into the craft, you will be able to make a flower that looks like a living rose.
For work, you will need glue, wire, foamiran in green and pastel colors. And also paints, sponge, scissors, clay, iron, pliers, toothpick. Only after collecting the necessary tools and materials for work, you can begin to create.
- First of all, you need to draw up a pattern of petals and leaves on cardboard. And also you need to make a template for the sepal. For example, a large petal can be made 5x6 cm. Small 4x4 cm, a 5x6 leaf, and a sepal 7x6.5 cm.
- The prepared templates must be transferred to the foamiran and carefully cut out.
- It is required to mold a clay base. Then a wire is taken, preferably No. 20, a small loop is bent at one end.The wire is smeared with glue and stuck in from the wide side of the base.
Now you can start preparing the petals.
- To make it look natural, you need to paint over each petal with paint. It is enough to slightly moisten the sponge in the dye composition, then run it over the petal.
- After drying, it is necessary to heat the petal with an iron, fold it with an accordion, twist it slightly with your fingers so that it takes on a wavy shape. Leaves are processed in a similar system. You can twist them slightly and pull off the tip. Thus, the leaves acquire a bulge that resembles natural nature.
Now you can start assembling the rose.
- The petals should be at the same distance. First, the 3 smallest petals are glued. Next, the 2nd row of 4 small petals is glued - they overlap each other.
- Next, 7 large petals are taken, coated with glue and fixed in a similar order. The lower part of the flower must be carefully trimmed.
- A drop of glue is applied to the base of the petals, and the sepal is set aside for a while until the glue hardens.
- In the process of waiting, it is required to cut strips of green foamiran with a width of about 5-7 mm. Each strip must have the ends cut obliquely. Then tightly wrap them around wire # 24, previously greased with glue. Leaves and tape masking adhesive are glued on top.
- It remains only to connect the stem and sepal.
Yin Yang
A two-color rose from foamiran is an interesting and non-standard decoration for any interior. For the performance of such beauty, you will need a revelor of 2 colors, namely: milk and turquoise, 2 pieces of wire, styrofoam, scissors, glue, iron, pliers.
First of all, you need to cut out the details - the petals and sepals. To process the workpieces, you will need to use an iron. The first step is to process the petals. It is advisable to start with the smallest sizes. After processing, the petals become wavy and convex.
After preparing the petals, you can begin to form the buds.
- It is necessary to take a foam base, pierce it with 4 pieces of wire. Twist the remaining tails together to a maximum length of 2 cm.
- 2 petals are taken. The first petal must be placed in such a way that it protrudes about 5 mm above the base of the bud.
- The second petal is glued opposite the 1st.
- When gluing the 3rd and 4th petals, it is necessary to fix their tips only on one side. The second part should not be glued.
- The unfixed edges of the petals are slightly curved, due to which the flower becomes natural.
Now you can start assembling the Yin-Yang rose.
- At the moment, there are 6 milky petals in the base: 2 cover the base, 4 are glued along the contour. From the first three, a primary circle emerges. And the second triplet of petals makes up the secondary circle.
- Next, you need to take turquoise petals. They are glued with an overlap, with each individual petal moving in the same direction, covering its neighbor.
- Now the milk petals are again taken to shape the middle circle. They need to be bent slightly to give them a natural look.
The last stage of the creation of the Yin-Yang rose remains. Sepal, foam base and leaves must be formed into a single whole.
Care rules
Owners of decorative flowers from foamiran need to know that this material easily tolerates sunlight and a humid environment. The revelor rose can be placed on the windowsill even in the kitchen.
Despite the unpretentiousness of a fake, it is important to treat it with awe. Multilayer compositions must be protected from dust. If dirt suddenly forms, you need to use a soft brush, and blow off the cleaned lumps with a hairdryer.
Recommendations
