Hortensia from Foamiran: a master class for making a flower

Flowers from foamiran, or plastic suede, have one important feature: when wrinkled, they quickly restore the original shape.

Buds of plastic suede , made by experienced craftsmen, look very natural and often indistinguishable from real ones. Learn how to make hydrangeas from fameirana yourself , from the master class to create this flower.

Preparing the necessary materials

To produce one inflorescence, we need:

• Two sheets of plastic suede pink or blue for flowers and olive - for foliage;
• An iron for heating the material;
• Mold in the form of a leaf hydrangea;
• toothpick;
• Artificial stamens for flowers of pink color;
• Two chalks of oil pastel in the tone of the material;
• Brush;
• Thin wire;
• Floristic ribbon;
• pin;
• Large and small scissors;
• Transparent adhesive for foam rubber.

Master Class on the creation of hydrangeas from fameirana

At the first stage, we mark out the basis for the petals. To do this, take a sheet of plastic suede pink or blue and mark it with a toothpick on squares of 2 x 2 cm, after which we cut the workpieces. Then use the pin to mark the center of each petal. Manicure scissors make the same incisions in the middle from all sides, not reaching about 2 mm to the center. We received the item for one flower.

We continue the master class "Hydrangea from Foamiran". Now you need to make each petal more natural, rounding the edges and tinting the middle with green chalk pastels on both sides. It is not necessary to make all the flowers perfectly smooth - so they will look more natural. You can cut only the edges or make the edge wavy, using the figured scissors for work. There are no restrictions for your imagination, you can safely experiment, creating flowers of different shapes.

The next step in our master class "Hydrangea from Foamiran" is the preparation of the iron. We heat it to such a temperature that the fingers can safely touch the sole. Now we make streaks on the flowers: warm up the petals and apply them to the mold four times, each leaf separately to print the picture. We hold the three petals by hand so that they do not heat up, and the fourth is applied to the mold. The edges of the flowers are covered with a pink pastel twice. The second time we color after heating on the iron, then the layer will lie more evenly, and the edge of the leaf will become more rigid.

Stamens for hydrangeas from foiramane: do it yourself

It is necessary to pierce the middle of each bud and place the stamen into it, and then fasten it to the back of the flower with glue and brush. It is more convenient to use ready-made ones - this saves time for creating a flower, but stamens can be made in another way using plastic suede. To do this, cut a small strip of material 2-5 mm long, cut off a piece of this size, so it was convenient to work with it. In the middle we put a drop of glue and apply a wire, and the foamiran bends the grinds. Cut the excess and scroll the workpiece between the fingers, forming a stamen.

We will supplement the master class on Hydrangeas from Foamiran with one more option for creating middles: using foam balls and foam for foam rubber. From ordinary glue the balls melt. To stain the stamens will require acrylic. We glue the workpieces to the wire, then mix the colors until we get a pleasant shade in the tone of the petals, dip the upper part of the stamen into it or paint with a brush. To connect a flower with a middle it is necessary too by means of glue for foam rubber.

Assembling the product

A new stage in the master class "Hydrangea from Foamiran" begins with the assembly of individual flowers in inflorescences of 5-7 pieces. We connect them in a bouquet, using a green floral tape and wire. It's time to take up foliage. Cut out of a plastic suede olive-colored workpiece for two leaves. On the edges of each sheet we put notches. It remains to heat them on the iron and shape it, pressing it to the mold and curving the edges. We glue floristic wire to the back side and collect the inflorescence of the hydrangea completely, fixing the bouquets of flowers with a floral tape. Done! We created a hydrangea from the fameiran with our own hands.
