Izolon crafts made in accordance with all the instructions look beautiful and are of good quality. Many interesting things are made from this material, including different types of flowers. In this article, we will learn how to make gorgeous lilies from isolone.

Peculiarities

Not everyone is aware of what an isolon is and what features it has. Often, it is this material that is used to make all kinds of colors that are distinguished by a beautiful and catchy appearance. Initially, the material was used only for insulation, but since it is versatile, it was often used in the production of sports goods, puzzles, and recreational items.

To put it simply, Isolon is a polyethylene foam with high elasticity and a structure consisting of cells. It is produced in different colors (pink, white, yellow, orange, blue and many others). The roll width can be from 1 to 2 m, and the thickness can be from 0.2 to 10 mm.

Izolon crafts look spectacular and attractive. With their help, you can decorate the interior or surprise someone with an original gift. The demand for isolon as a material for needlework is due to certain features.

  • The material is characterized by a soft structure. It is easily cut (both ordinary scissors and a knife are suitable for this), while the master does not need to make any extra efforts.
  • Not "afraid" of temperature fluctuations. It is not flammable.
  • If the material is exposed to high temperatures, it will begin to stick together.
  • Even when stretched, the isolon has the same structure without any changes.
  • Can be fixed without problems with high-quality glue, thread or stapler.
  • It can absorb paint and varnish materials into its structure. The only exceptions are acrylic paint mixtures.

Due to the listed features, izolon is suitable for making all kinds of handicrafts. These can be ordinary cute decorations or functional, useful items in everyday life. The master can let the fantasy go free, because it is possible to create a huge number of products from the material in question.

Tools and materials

Very beautiful and elegant flowers can be made from isolon. For example, these can be beautiful lilies - a favorite craft of many craftsmen who prefer to work with this material.

If you decide to make your own foam lilies, then you should first select certain materials and devices, without which the work will be impossible. Consider what you need to have on hand to make artificial flowers:

  • isolone;
  • high-quality scissors for tailoring (instead of them it is permissible to use a special assembly knife);
  • a hairdryer (not necessarily a construction one, you can also use a household one with 2 heating levels);
  • glue gun (it is recommended to use only those options in which it is possible to switch temperature modes);
  • stapler, staples and threads;
  • paints (suitable in cans or acrylics).

Most of the components are found in many city stores, so there should be no problems finding tools and materials.

When you have bought all the necessary components, it is advisable to set aside a place for them where they will lie next to each other. Thus, the master does not have to spend time at the right time looking for the required device, because they will all be at his fingertips.

Manufacturing options

Not only an experienced, but also a novice master can make chic lilies from Izolon with their own hands. The main thing is to act gradually, in stages. No need to rush and rush. You should be patient, then the work will lead to more productive and enjoyable results. If you have not previously dealt with isolon, it is recommended to study a detailed master class to create a flower craft, where all the necessary steps are described step by step. Let's take a look at some of the options.

Lamp

Izolon is a material from which very interesting lighting devices are made. It can be a stylish table lamp, a chic floor lamp or a miniature night light - there are a lot of options. Let's consider in stages how a master can independently assemble a beautiful lamp from homemade lilies.

  • The main thing that the master will need to do is to build a stem and a shade.
  • To assemble the plafond, you will need to remove the ring from the cartridge, fasten it to the coupling. Lily petals should be cut from the isolon. It is necessary to make blanks with suitable dimensions in advance.
  • Using a hair dryer, you need to warm up the edges of the petals and give them a realistic shape with your fingers.
  • Then you can collect the flower bud. Large elements must be overlapped to the coupling.
  • To make a stem, you need to bend a support ring from a part of the pipe. The remaining half will be bent figuratively so that the lamp is as stable as possible.
  • Lightly strip the ends of the cables from the insulating covers. Insert them into the holes of the chuck, tighten with screw parts.
  • Pass the cord through the shade sleeve, and then thread it through the stalk of the homemade lily. The wires removed from the other end must be cleaned and installed in the plug.
  • After that, you can start installing the switch in the wire break.
  • The final stage will be the assembly of the entire lighting fixture. Pull up the cord, glue the sleeve to the pipe. Carefully mask the joints with sepals.

The last step is to screw in the working light and check the performance of the resulting device.

Growth lily

Large growth flowers are very popular today. They are often installed in various photo zones or decorate interiors with them. It is possible to make such an original design with your own hands using an isolon. Let's analyze a small MK to create such a work of art that imitates a huge lily.

  • For the manufacture of chic growth lilies, it is recommended to use a material whose thickness is at least 1 mm.
  • First, the master must prepare all the necessary templates. They are drawn on a sheet of paper or cardboard, and then transferred to an isolon.
  • It is necessary to cut the necessary elements of the lily very carefully, strictly along the contour. To do this, you can use a clerical knife.
  • Next, the cut components must be heated with a hair dryer. During warming up, the flower “parts” are carefully stretched by hand. The side with which the petals will be attached to the base should not stretch.
  • On the corners of the sheets, you need to gently apply a small amount of hot glue, and then wrap them in a tube.
  • Think in advance how many petals there will be in your tall craft.
  • Pressing the petals against the base rod, use your hands to form stiffeners in the middle. This component will keep the shape of the artificial lily.
  • For growth flowers, you can build the same stem as in the lamp discussed above. A large pipe or thick wire wrapped in green material (such as tape) will do.

To keep the structure stable, the lower part of the support can be screwed on.

In a pot

Artificial lilies in a beautiful pot, in harmony with the surrounding interior, look especially impressive and attractive. Many craftsmen prefer to make just such flowers. And these can be large growth specimens, and not just small flowers on the windowsill.

If you want a growth lily from an isolon in the pot, you should carefully consider the design of the future container and the level of its spaciousness. A hollow plastic tank or barrel can be used. You can get a good pot if you knead the cement, insert a pipe into the barrel, and then pour the solution into it. At the end of all the work, the tank will need to be interestingly decorated and decorated to make it look more attractive.

You can use both soft and hard, but very dense plastic containers as a pot for artificial lilies, especially if you want to pour cement mortar into them. It should be borne in mind that such structures are often quite heavy and massive.

Recommendations

If you have decided to make a luxurious lily from Isolone yourself, it makes sense to listen to some useful tips and tricks that relate to creative work.

  • To make a stem for an isolon lily, you can use not only dense wire, but also a small thickness metal rod or even a plastic cocktail tube. It all depends on the mass of the bud.
  • In order for a flower made from isolone to really look as realistic as possible, the master must know exactly what this culture is in nature. For comparison, you can print photos of lilies or bring home a real flower. The key to success is attention to all the little things and details: petals, stamens, leaves.
  • All templates and blanks for future flowers (both small and growth) should be carefully prepared. Cut them out carefully, proceed in stages.
  • A hairdryer is often used to warm up various parts from isolon. However, there are craftsmen who are more accustomed to using an iron. However, in advance it is necessary to establish more gentle temperature conditions, for example, "wool", so as not to harm the material.
  • It is important to use only sharp knives and scissors to cut parts from Izolon. With blunt tools, you run the risk of spoiling the material or getting sloppy blanks that will make the appearance of the craft untidy.
  • It is recommended to carefully consider the future design of an ordinary growth flower or an isolon lamp. You can make detailed sketches indicating all sizes and nuances. Then it will be easier and more convenient to work. Only an experienced master can do without a detailed work plan.
  • Crafts from izolona can be additionally painted. For this, paint from a spray can, acrylic enamel (which is one of the best paints and varnishes), rubber paint (durable and wear-resistant solution) are often used. It is not recommended to use special car enamel, since it is not economical and expensive.
  • When working out the shape of a future homemade flower, the master should take into account the fact that the product should be as elastic and lush as possible.
  • It is permissible to fasten different components of flower compositions from the material under consideration using threads, and not just high-quality glue solution. For some craftsmen, this method of fastening seems more practical, but for someone it does not suit at all.
  • For the manufacture of high-quality and beautiful crafts, it is recommended to select only high-quality isolon. The material must be reliable and practical. Good products can be found in specialized stores. You will hardly be able to find a high-quality isolon on the market. In addition, the fabric should not be too thick or thin.
  • You can use a soldering iron to glue the parts together. This is a non-standard method, but it is practiced by many masters.
  • Please note that although isolon is a light and airy material, a lush and large flower head can be quite massive. For such crafts, it is necessary to come up with stable stands or containers in advance. The structure should stand firmly on the floor, the bud should not outweigh the product.
  • If you are just learning to work with isolon, it is recommended to use the optimal material, the thickness of which is 2 mm.

It is easier to form, but it should not be overheated, otherwise the isolon will begin to melt and the details will have to be redone.

Beautiful examples

Luxurious lilies made from izolon by craftsmen can become wonderful interior decorations or unexpected, original gifts for various holidays. The main thing is to make such a decoration correctly, observing all the nuances. Let's look at some beautiful examples.

  • Growth flowers from isolon can become a stunning decoration of the decor. It can be a tall stem with several large rose buds attached to it. This component will harmoniously look in the interior, designed in calm, pastel shades.
  • In interiors dominated by dark colors, a cool table lamp, realized in the form of snow-white lilies with a yellow center, will find its place. Artificial flowers can be placed in a compact white pot with a raised surface. The original product will look good on a bedside table.
  • Growing isolon lilies of a snow-white shade with a built-in lamp will look attractive against the background of a wall with a milky brick finish. To make the craft stand out more and attract attention, it should be placed on a high rich green stem with the same colorful leaves. Black stamens will subtly dilute the surrounding whiteness.
  • If you want to add variegated and "sweet" colors to the atmosphere, you can make a tall green stem with 3 large buds with deep pink centers and snow-white edges. The product can play the role of a simple decoration or an additional floor lamp.It can be placed near a free wall, finished with materials with a predominance of gray and white shades.
  • Homemade lilies with large and voluminous snow-white buds can be supplemented with dark green leaves and stems, and then placed in a neat brown pot, imitating a living plant. With this component, the interior will become more hospitable and cozy. The room will always retain a special home warmth, even when the winter cold is outside the window.
  • Isolone lilies look bright and original, having white lush buds with a purple tint closer to the center and stamens. This design will find its place on both light and dark backgrounds.
