What you need

To make organza flowers you need to have on hand:

• threads of suitable color;
• cardboard templates;
• matches or lighter;
• candle;
• decorative elements (beads, rhinestones, beads, etc.).

How to make an organza flower

Beginners should not immediatelytake on the creation of complex options. In order to make the simplest organza flower, you need:

• draw patterns on cardboard in the form of 5-6 circles, each of which is 3 mm smaller than the previous one;
• impose patterns on organza;
• circle with a pencil;
• cut;
• light a candle;
• carefully work the edges of the circles over the candle, keeping them at right angles to the flame;
• put circles on top of each other;
• stitch the petals with a thread;
• fix;
• sew 2-3 beads into the middle of the organza flower or glue a few beads using a glue gun.

To make the product more attractive, you can cut the petals from the fabric of several similar shades. At the same time, it is better to make the largest circles from organza of a more saturated color, and gradually move on to paler ones.

Roses

Queen of flowers will be more difficult to make. To do this:

• cut circles of different sizes from organza;
• with sharp scissors make 5 neat cuts on each circle, not reaching the middle;
• scorch the edges of all the blanks above the candle so that they are bent inward;
• stack circles with already finished edges on top of each other in order from largest to smallest;
• fix them in the middle with a thread.

Decorate the middle of the resulting rose to your liking with rhinestones or beads.

How to make DIY organza flowers without using a candle

It is often quite difficult to carefully process the edges of the blanks so that they do not turn black. This is usually due to the poor quality of the candle. In this case, the problem can be easily solved by replacing it.

In addition, in stores you can find special organza for making flowers and using it to create floral arrangements. It does not crumble, which greatly facilitates the work. If this fabric is not sold in your city, there is a way to create organza flowers without using a candle.

Step by step instructions

A beautiful, neat flower will turn out if:

• cut 5 circles with a diameter of 11 cm from an ordinary organza and the same number of such blanks with a diameter of 13 cm;
• fold them gently into a semicircle;
• sew manually with a thread of a suitable color along the semicircular edge, stepping back 5 - 6 mm;
• tighten and fasten the thread so that the workpiece takes the form of a petal;
• assemble petals of the same size into a ring so that you get 2 blanks in the shape of a flower;
• sew blanks with thread;
• sew a large bead in the middle of the flower or stick a large rhinestone.

This flower can be fixed with a glue gun on an elastic band. Then you will have a beautiful hair accessory.
