Growth flowers: types, materials and production

Nowadays, flower installations are very popular. A great way to decorate any room is to place a large growth flower in it. Such a product can be easily made with your own hands, without spending a lot of money, and it takes very little time to create such a design. Consider what varieties of growth flowers exist, and how you can make them yourself.

Before analyzing in detail how the growth flowers differ, and how you can make them with your own hands, you need to answer the question - what are they?

The name of this set speaks for itself - growth flowers are huge installations, next to which an adult looks very unusual. Such products in height can reach from 150 to 250 centimeters.

Beautiful growth flowers are made from different materials. So, very often such decorations are made from isolone. This is a special material that is sold in rolls and sheets, the thickness of which can be from 0.2 mm to 1 cm. In order to make aesthetic and neat flowers, it is recommended to use a material of 2-3 mm. You can also purchase a special foil or colored isolon. Thanks to this choice, buyers have the opportunity to make flowers that are not only white.

In this case, it is necessary to take into account some of the features of working with isolon.

• Thin leaves of this material are very easy to cut with scissors or a special assembly knife. Due to its softness, the material allows you to make growth flowers with a very natural appearance.
• Izolon does not melt or burn. This property is used to give the petals a certain shape - under the influence of high temperatures, these parts bend, and if the temperature is further increased, then the leaves can be point-glued.
• This material is characterized by tensile strength. It has a characteristic porous structure, which makes it possible to withstand more significant tensile loads.
• Isolon is connected only with hot glue, a stapler or thread.
• Cicatricial areas appear on the folds of this material.
• This material is not afraid of moisture, but it can turn yellow under the influence of ultraviolet radiation.

Isolon flowers cannot be painted with simple paint. Of course, it will not cause serious damage to the installation, but it will not fit the material as it should. To design such a decoration from isolon, you can use other coloring compositions.

• Spray paint. Such a composition is immediately ready for work, dries quickly, you do not need to stock up on a special spray gun to use it. However, this solution has one significant drawback - the paint from the spray can, in the event of serious mechanical stress, can crumble from the base. Especially often, this problem arises with frequent transportation of the product, as well as when too thick a paint layer is applied.

• Acrylic enamel... Such a coloring composition is applied to the base in an even layer, does not crumble, does not lose its original attractiveness for many years. But you should not apply acrylic enamel with a simple brush. You can't do without a spray gun here.

• Rubber paint. This coloring composition must be applied in the same way as acrylic enamel. Rubber paint is not susceptible to cracking, easily withstands both mechanical and temperature influences. The main feature of rubber paint is its matte surface.

And also growth flowers can be made from foamiran. This material is rightfully recognized as the most appropriate. It looks very elegant and expensive, so it is most often used to make flowers intended for a beautiful photo zone. Foamiran has a number of features.

• This material is quite dense, but at the same time malleable - it can be given almost any desired shape.
• Foamiran flowers look very natural and natural.
• This raw material is highly flexible. Ugly creases do not appear on it when working.
• Foamiran has a pleasant velvety surface without prominent bumps.
• This material is presented in rich colors.
• Foamiran "does not like" exposure to direct sunlight. In contact with them, it begins to lose color saturation.
• It can only be used indoors.
• This material is the most expensive.

Very often, beautiful growth flowers are made from special corrugated paper. Let's consider how this material is different.

• Corrugated paper is cheaper than other materials used for making growth flowers.
• The color palette of corrugated paper is simply huge. Buyers have the opportunity to choose options for absolutely any shade.
• Very effective growth flowers with a gradient effect can be made from this material.
• If the flowers are planned to be monochromatic, then they will cost very cheaply.
• Corrugated paper is a material not designed for outdoor use. Flowers from it can only be kept indoors. Otherwise, the decorations will deteriorate from contact with sunlight and precipitation.

These are the most popular materials used to make original growth flowers.Sometimes they can be made of fabric or nylon. What kind of material is most convenient to work with - it is up to the master to decide. In all cases, you can achieve excellent results, the main thing is to take your time, relying on the instructions.

Growth flowers are very beautiful and unusual installations that are used in different fields and for different purposes. Let's take a closer look at what exactly is the main purpose of these products.

Grow flowers can be made by hand. This process is not overly complicated or expensive. If you have not done such installations before, then you should rely on a detailed master class, where the process of their manufacture is described step by step.

Let's analyze in detail the process of making growth flowers using the example of spectacular decorations from corrugated sheets. First, you will need to prepare everything you need:

• several multi-colored corrugated sheets of paper;
• newspaper leaves (needed for papier-mâché);
• small glue gun;
• thread and needle;
• balloon.

Having prepared all the necessary components, you can proceed to the direct production of growth flowers.

• First you need to inflate the purchased balloon.
• You will need to glue the scraps of newspaper onto the inflated balloon, gradually increasing their layer.
• Make sure that such a base is denser.
• After that, the workpiece will need to be set aside to dry completely. This will take at least a day. After that, the ball at the base will be permissible to deflate - it will no longer be needed.
• After that, it will be necessary to very carefully divide the resulting sphere into two halves.
• Further, the separated slices will need to be carefully connected. Sew on the edge with threads. To get good results, it is advisable to coat the edges with glue.
• Now you can move on to preparing the petals. They can vary in shape and size. It will be much easier to work with these components if you use pre-prepared templates and stencils.
• Several template blanks should be cut in advance (at least 10).
• Next, you will need to carefully pull out each petal, and then roll them into small tubes.The base will need to be bent so that the elements adhere to the newspaper base better.
• It is permissible to leave small gaps between the rows of folded corrugated paper.
• So it is necessary to fill out the entire prepared form. The side sections should be filled out with the same paper.

As a result of all the actions taken, a gorgeous artificial peony will turn out, which can be used not only as a decoration, if supplemented with a stem. Such products are often used differently - as themed headdresses.

If you have planned to make unusual growth flowers with your own hands at home, then you better heed some helpful tips and tricks from experienced craftsmen.

• If you use a material such as izolon to make growth flowers, it is worth considering that from its thin version you can easily make small parts, the size of which is no larger than the palm of a person. Large flowers will not work out of it - they will not keep the desired shape.
• If a thick isolon is used, then only large floral details can be made from it. Small elements made of this material will look too rough.
• Despite the fact that isolon itself is a lightweight and pliable material, the larger and more magnificent the flower head is, the heavier it will be. For this reason, it is very important to prepare a suitable stand for such a giant - it must be stable and strong.
• If you want to build a growth flower that is as similar as possible to a natural plant, then you should first figure out exactly how the flower that you are copying looks like. Take a real peony, study in detail its structure and shape.
• If this is your first time making growth flowers from isolon, then you should use a material with a thickness of 2 mm. Such raw materials are easy to form, however, it is not allowed to overheat, otherwise it will simply melt.
• If corrugated paper is used to make flowers, it must be borne in mind that its dense versions are not always used. For petals that will bend easily, it is better to use thin paper.
• If you decide to make a large wall panel made of corrugated paper for home decoration, then it is not recommended to attach it too tightly to the wall. Better to use temporary fasteners. Perhaps soon you will get tired of the panel or you accidentally touch it, which may cause some flowers to fall off. Then the decoration will need to be removed, and the temporary fasteners will not spoil the finishing materials.
• It doesn't matter what kind of material the growth flowers are made of. If you decide to decorate a house or some festive hall with such decorations, then you should take into account that there should not be too many of them. If such an artificial greenhouse fills too much space, then the overall look of the situation will be ridiculous and oversaturated.
• If you are planning to cut petals and leaves for growth flowers, then it is advisable for you to prepare all the necessary templates and stencils in advance. Of course, there is no need to use them, but it will be much more convenient and faster to work with them.
• A stem for growing flowers can be made from a plastic pipe or wire frame. The latter seems to many to be completely unstable, but in fact it is not. A cup or pot of cement will provide stability to the wire stem. It is in the latter that the frame will fit.
• You only need to cut out various details for a flower arrangement with sharp scissors. Otherwise, the corrugated paper may look wrinkled.
• From the buds of growth flowers, you can make beautiful hats that are suitable for a themed party, an unusual photo shoot, or any other similar occasion.It is recommended to make such things from fairly stable and wear-resistant materials. For example, if it is corrugated paper, then it should be as dense as possible, otherwise the structure will not keep the desired shape.
• For the manufacture of a beautiful and durable flower arrangement, it is necessary to use exclusively high-quality materials. You need to work with them carefully.

Very often, growth flowers become a bright accent and highlight of the existing interior. Such installations can complement and complete the setting, making it more lively and interesting. Often boring and monotonous interiors start to play with new colors when such flower decorations appear in them.

So, in a chic, bright living room with a light wooden floor and a contrasting black insert on a snow-white ceiling, you can put a large flower arrangement, assembled from lush buds of milky roses. Such decoration will make the environment more elegant and expensive.

Surrounded by wooden details (flights of stairs and railings), light wallpaper with gray patterned prints and soft blue curtains, large and tall (to the ceiling) growth flowers of a soft pink shade will look harmoniously.

An installation with three large bright red buds will look spectacular in a living room with beige walls, a white ceiling and a floor finished with laminate imitating natural wood. There is a black and cream sofa and a black and white TV stand next to it. The ensemble will turn out to be very effective.

Against the background of light striped wallpaper and a soft beige floor, you can place a bright and expressive installation with rich red rosebuds. The stalk and leaves should be made non-standard - not green, but golden.
