The list of tools and materials that may be needed in the manufacture of crafts will differ depending on the chosen master class. However, you can make a generalized list of everything you need.

• The main material is foamiran sheets. Choose colors and shades depending on the creative intent. You can use the regular version or the material with glitter (sequins).
• Prepare sharp scissors. You can also use a utility knife or blades, but scissors are much more convenient to work with.
• To hold the individual elements together, you need glue or special glue gun.
• For quick and convenient cutting of individual elements (leaves, petals, etc.) are used blanks. They are made of cardboard or thick paper. You can make them yourself or download a stencil from the Internet, print it and cut out the necessary blank.
• Additional elements are also indispensable. Craftswomen use felt, silk, satin ribbons and other materials. In addition, you may need fishing line or wire to make stamens, insect antennae and other elements.
• Some craftswomen paint foamiran... In this case, you will need a dry pastel palette.

To make a stylish decoration with your own hands, you need to choose a clear and detailed master class for beginners.

To make a neat and stylish bow, prepare the following:

• sheets of porous material of any color;
• base (hairpin of the right size);
• thermal gun and consumables for it;
• paper or cardboard to make a template;
• a pen or pencil;
• scissors.

The work is performed step by step below.

First you need to make a pattern. On the material chosen for making the template, you need to draw three elements for the future bow: the base, the bow and the top. If you find it difficult to draw them, you can use a ready-made template from the Internet. The resulting blanks must be attached to the foamiran and circle them with a pencil, as shown in the photo.

Now you need to make a butterfly. To do this, each of the ends of the workpiece must be attached to the center and fixed with a small amount of glue. The picture shows how to do it correctly.

Glue the resulting butterfly to the base with sharp edges. This is what should be the result.

To make the product look complete, we complement it with a top element, a piece of tape. First, we fasten the workpiece in the center, and then bend the edges and fix the bow from the inside out.

The bow is ready, now you need to glue it to the selected base. This can be a barrette or any other hair accessory.

You can complement the look with a delicate and feminine decoration in the form of a flower.

To make it, you will need the following materials and tools:

• ruler or meter;
• toothpicks;
• glue gun;
• thin porous sheets, thickness - 1 millimeter, this is a special Iranian foamiran;
• additional shiny material, eco-leather is used in this master class;
• hair clip without jewelry and additional elements;
• comfortable and sharp scissors.

The manufacturing process is simple.

First you need to cut a square out of foamiran. Dimensions - 4.5x4.5 cm. You will need 3 squares.

We take a ruler, put it on the diagonal of the square element and run it over the material with a toothpick so that a noticeable but shallow mark remains. Work carefully so as not to damage the sheet.

Cut the square in half along the line. As a result, you should get 6 identical blanks, as shown in the picture.

We put one of the parts on the table, with the base towards us. Using a ruler, measure one centimeter from sharp corners and make a neat notch with a toothpick.

We use the resulting blank as a stencil, and on its basis we prepare the rest of the triangles.

Apply a little glue in the center of the bottom rib and fold the element in half, as in the photo.

Bend the edge neatly to form a "wave" and fix it with glue.

We carry out the procedure on both sides.

These are the neat blanks as a result.

Now you need to connect the petals, for this you need to apply a little glue on the side surfaces and press the elements together.

When five parts are glued together, a neat and voluminous flower is obtained.

Let's move on to paper. Cut off a 2x3 cm piece, as shown in the picture.

On it you need to draw a pattern in the form of a leaf and a circle.

We apply the pattern to the shiny fabric and cut out a couple of elements - one leaf and the center of the flower.

We process the edges with a candle, matches or a lighter.

Glue the leaf from below.

This is such a charming flower as a result. All that remains is to attach it to the hairpin and enjoy the cute handmade jewelry.

The hair accessory, complemented by a bright bow tie, is perfect for a girl or a young girl.

To make a butterfly, you need to prepare certain consumables and working tools:

• a hairpin to which the handmade jewelry will be attached;
• foamiran sheets, thickness - 1 millimeter;
• material with glitter, you can use dense foamiran or buy a small piece of artificial leather;

• attach the stencil to the porous sheet and carefully circle it with a toothpick, leaving a light and barely noticeable outline;

• we need two identical parts;
