How to make calla lilies from isolone?

Recently, in various thematic photo zones, as well as in shop windows, you can find artificial flowers made from durable isolon, which is not sold in the usual hobby markets - you can find it only at construction points of sale. Izolon flowers turn out to be very realistic and beautiful. How to make calla lilies from this material, we will find out further, and also get acquainted with the list of necessary equipment.

Izolon refers to non-combustible low-melting materials. That is why you can create real masterpieces of floristic art from it at home.

Isolone calla lilies can be of very different sizes. For example, a large growth flower may well serve as a lamp, if you make it backlit. Many people use these plants to decorate the interiors of their homes.

Large calla lilies are often installed at various celebrations or in store windows. Any flowers made from this material are considered safe, and many even claim that they are hypoallergenic. Moreover, ornamental plants are resistant to temperature extremes, and also very durable over time, especially if they are properly cared for.

In order to create beautiful flowers from isolone, which is artificially foamed polyethylene, you must purchase it in advance in the required quantity. Usually it is produced in rolls, sheet diameter - from 2 mm to one centimeter. For small calla lilies, the thin material is suitable, because the thick one is used for very large plants. In addition to isolon, the following inventory should be prepared:

• assembly knife, scissors;
• glue in the gun;
• ruler, pencil;
• paper and pencil for the template;
• a hairdryer (even a household one is perfect for small flowers).

To create small parts and fasteners, you may need masking tape, a stapler, thread, wire, and paint. For Isolon, spray paints or rubber paints are usually used.

It is better to choose a colored wire for creating a flower stem right away - otherwise, you will have to decorate it or spend time painting it yourself. For the stem of larger flowers, a plastic tube or off-the-shelf metal rods can be used.

As for the container where the calla lilies will be installed, it can be any... Some prefer welded structures for growth plants, while other craftsmen prefer familiar pots and flowerpots. If the calla is large, then it should be installed in a pot filled with cement mortar, and if the flower is small, then mounting foam will do.

Consider the step-by-step instructions for making realistic calla lilies from isolone.

• First you should prepare a template, according to which you need to cut petals for future flowers. You can take a template ready-made or make it yourself according to your own measurements. The size of the flower will depend on the template.
• Cut petals of future calla lilies should be processed and shaped - this requires a powerful hairdryer. Only under the influence of high temperatures can the isolon be given the desired shape.
• If there is a desire give a flower some shade, it is recommended to paint the petals, and not the finished flower, and then proceed to collect them directly.
• The pistil in the middle of the calla is also made from isolone.... It usually requires a small piece of material.
• If the calla lilies are small, then you can glue the stem to them after collecting... Or at the stage of flower formation, if it is a growth one.
• When assembling a flower, all parts and components should be put on hot glue.

If the essence of creating flower petals is clear, then there should be no questions with the leaves. They are also formed with a hair dryer. For beginners, we recommend watching ready-made master classes in which the masters disassemble the creation of plants from an isolone in stages.
