Growth roses from isolon

In recent years, craftswomen have begun to actively use more and more unusual materials for their crafts. One of them is just isolon - a type of polyethylene foam. Very realistic and beautiful flowers are created from isolon. Next, we will take a closer look at how growth roses from isolon look like and find out how you can make them with your own hands.

Before moving on to the most interesting, namely the process of creating flowers, you will have to replenish your inventory by going not to your usual handicraft store, but to a construction store. It is there that the isolon is on sale.

When choosing polyethylene foam, you should pay attention to its two types.

• Stitched. It has high quality indicators, but the price may be overpriced.

• Unstitched. This material does not have any processing, and therefore is inexpensive.

Before you start creating flowers, you also need to prepare:

• sharp knife, scissors;
• hair dryer: household or construction (it is better to take the second option, since it is more powerful);
• a gun with glue (preferably one on which you can adjust the temperature);
• special rubber paints;
• wire of different diameters;
• masking tape.

To plant a large rose, you will also need a stable pot. To fix the plant as reliably as possible, you will have to use cement or, if the plant is not very large, then polyurethane foam.

The amount of isolone per rose depends on which petals are on the flower. They can be 20x20 and even 50x50 in size.

Thick isolon is used, as a rule, for large growth roses, but thin material is great for small flowers.

After everything is decided with the size of the flower, you need to create a template yourself or take a ready-made one, according to which you need to cut out the petals, sepals, leaves and other components of the flower in the future.

Consider a step-by-step master class on creating a growth rose for beginners.

• Having prepared the template and cut out all the components of the rose, you need to proceed to processing them.
• To form a realistic flower, the isolon needs to be bent, but it bends only under the influence of high temperatures, while becoming plastic. That's what a hairdryer is for.
• When all the petals are beautifully formed, they should be assembled together using hot glue. It is worth remembering that small petals are used in the middle of the rose, but their volume and size gradually increase when collected.

To make the rose as realistic as possible, we recommend that you study the structure of a real plant.

The creation of the stem largely depends on where the flower will be attached. If the plant will be installed in a pot or on a rack, then a special pipe should be purchased in advance. The pipe can be laid into the rose even at the stage of bud creation, or glued to the flower after its complete formation. This moment depends on the technique with which each master is used to working.

The larger the flower, the larger the diameter of the tube for the growth rose should be purchased. Usually 35-40 mm is enough for heavy plants.

Experts believe that collecting the flower directly on the pipe blank guarantees more reliable fastening in the future, as well as the stability of the plant itself... If the flower is light, then the plastic pipe can be glued to it after the entire assembly. The finished pipe rack can be decorated, for example, with tape or any other decor of your choice.

To install a pipe stand with a rose, a special pot is usually required into which a diluted cement solution is poured. To hide external traces of cement, you can decorate the pot with a cloth. It is recommended to take a container for a large rose made of hard and durable plastic.

Leaves on growth roses are not always done - most often, if they are present, they have a neutral shade. It will not be difficult to make them, having dealt with the technique of creating petals for a flower.

To give the flower a beautiful shade or shine, the rose can be dyed... But ordinary paints will not work for this. Take:

• paints in cylinders;
• acrylic enamel;
• rubber paint.

All options do not crack and are great for working with isolon. It is most comfortable to paint artificial plants from a spray gun. If it is not there, then it is recommended to give tone and shade to the petals before assembling them.

To master the basic techniques in creating large roses from isolone, we recommend starting by watching easy step-by-step master classes, which tell you how to make flowers without spending a lot of time and effort on it. Nevertheless, it should be understood that you may not like the first works, because in this business everything comes with experience.

Luxurious growth roses from Isolone in recent years have increasingly begun to appear in the decoration of weddings. Moreover, they are used both in open street ceremonies and in closed rooms. Large pale pink flowers and buds in pastel shades look especially advantageous. In addition to growth roses, large inflorescences are often used to create a unique wall panel.

With the help of large red flowers and two-tone roses, they often make out beautiful photo zones for guests... They can also be found in the windows of many shops.

A single growth rose can often be seen in the interior of a house or apartment. In addition to the aesthetic qualities, such roses can also be beneficial, becoming an alternative to the lamp. Floor lamps are also made from growth roses.
