Make a flower from the tissue with your own hands, not as difficult as it seems

The tradition of creating flower compositions from improvised materials has existed for a long time. Even in Ancient Egypt, women decorated their clothes, hairdos and dwellings with artificial flowers. In the Middle Ages in Europe, the manufacture of flower ornaments was amusing to know, diversifying their leisure time, and at the end of the 18th century this "hobby" was put on a serial basis, they were dealt with by the neediest. The work was painstaking, heavy, low-paid and extremely harmful to health, because in the production process one had to deal often even with mercury. Today it is a diverse process that allows us to realize creative potential in search of beauty, harmony and originality through quite different techniques. Particularly popular decorations, in which there is a flower made of fabric in combination with other materials: beads, ribbons, braid, beads, crystals, copper wire and others.

The charm of handmade creativity in the singularity of the result

Industry offers consumers a wide range of ready-made floral jewelry for clothing and interiors. But much more valuable are compositions made by hand in a single, exclusive version. There are several basic ways to create a flower from tissue.

Flower of the fabric according to the pattern

This is one of the easiest ways to create fabric flower decorations, in which the main element are templates of different sizes and shapes. Flowers are created from several different in color or texture fragments, assembled together with glue or simply stitched. The photographs show different types of jewelry made in this way.

A flower made of cloth made of ribbons or textile cuts

Option one - from ready-made satin ribbons. To make it, the finished ribbon in the hands is simply wrapped around the central fragment, twisting and fixing it periodically with a needle with a thread, which creates a reliable imitation of a real rose. The process is shown in a series of pictures.

The second option is from cutting the fabric. To make such a flower cut a narrow long flap (the width directly depends on the desired size of the finished flower), then the strip is folded along in half, the open sections are seam "forward needle" onto the thread and slightly tightened, the "picked" tape is folded into a flower and fixed first with a needle , And then it is glued to a cardboard, metal or plastic blank. It is possible to make this version from a single-layered cut, one section of the fabric of which is cut out figuratively, imitating the petals. Here is a picture illustrating such a way of floral creativity.

Flower from a fabric - we collect a bud from separate petals

The essence of this method is clear already from the name itself. By various patterns, petals of different sizes are made, each one is either folded in a certain way, or sewed in a certain way according to the pattern. Then the finished petals are collected in the final floral design. Here is an example of such works.

All previously listed methods are the simplest in manufacturing, and this photo shows a bouquet of fabric flowers, the production of which already requires a decent skills of working with tissues from the creator and certain technological knowledge of the process.

Technics of origami in the production of floral compositions

A very popular and spectacular way of bouquet "man-made" is origami - a flower made of paper. The simplest forms of buds can be created from a single leaf, more complex ones involve the production of individual fragments, which then are collected in the final paper bud.

Here are examples of whole magical compositions that can easily become an ornament of any interior. The main constituent of each such bouquet is a separate origami flower.

In addition, using such flowers in your interior or dressing clothes, you do not loot in your flower beds, you are also not displeased to see the gradual dying of once-living flowers.
