Rose - a flower from foamiran. Master class (preparatory stage)

For work, we are preparing the materials and tools indicated in the following list:

• foam rubber;
• cotton buds;
• hot gun or glue "Second", "Dragon";
• scissors.

Description of the process of making crafts "Rose" (from foam rubber)

In order to make flowers from foamiran in the form of roses, you need to make blanks - petals. To do this, cut the foamed rubber into squares. Such parts need 6 pieces of different sizes: 3x3, 4x4, 5x5. Next, the petals need to give volume. This is done in the following way. We take a square blank in our hands and twist it. We roll the resulting roll between the palms, heating it. POF EVA becomes elastic and pliable when heated. Therefore, when you feel warm, straighten the workpiece and slightly stretch its edges, giving a convex shape. Here is the first rose petal. Thus, we make out all the square details. After cooling, they will hold their shape well. Next, we assemble the blanks into a single whole. In this case, we will attach flowers from foamiran to a cotton swab. Glue a bead on one part of it. Do not forget to remove the cotton wool. Well, if the hole in the bead matches the circumference of the stick in diameter, then the fastening will turn out to be strong. Now fasten the small petals by wrapping them lightly around the stick. After glue the middle ones and behind them - large parts of the bud. From the green foam rubber, cut out the blank in the form of an asterisk. Make a small hole in the middle of this part. Pass the stick through it, and attach the "asterisk" at the base of the flower, forming a sepal. The decorative rose is ready.

Foamed rubber lilies - delicate and beautiful. What do you need to complete the craft?

Learning to make flowers from foamiran with your own hands in the form of a decorative lily. First, prepare the materials and tools indicated in the list:

• foamiran pink or white;
• iron;
• scissors;
• stack or wooden skewer;
• towel;
• glue "Dragon", "Second" or thermal gun;
• paper-braided wire (diameter 0.35);
• acrylic paints;
• red marker;
• floristic accessories - stamens and pistils (can be used from an old plastic flower);
• green type tape;
• cardboard;
• pencil.

Production step of lily foam rubber product

The following is a detailed master class (MK) "Flowers from foamiran - lilies". On cardboard, draw a sketch of an oval-shaped lily petal with an elongated and sharp one end. Cut out the template and transfer it to foamiran. For one flower you will need six petals. Cut them out. Next, using a stack or skewer, draw "veins" on these parts. Do this action very carefully so as not to damage the structure of the material. The next step is the formation of bends on the petals. Take one part and lean it for a second against the soleplate of the preheated iron. Then quickly place the petal on the towel and lightly stretch the edges of the blank with your fingers. They will take on a wavy shape. Now, on these blanks, attach the wire vertically from the wrong side. Its end should extend a few centimeters beyond the bottom edge of the part. Bend all the petals so that the bulge is on the front side. Decorate them with acrylic paints in the colors that are inherent in lilies. Twist the stamens and pistil with tape into one whole piece. Next, attach the petals in two tiers of three pieces. Spread the bud, arrange the stamens in different directions. The foam rubber lily is ready.

Where to apply?

Flowers of other types are made using the technologies described above. The difference is only in the shape and size of the petals. Such flowers from foamiran can become a beautiful decoration for hair: a hairpin, an elastic band or a hoop decor. Glue them to the base and let dry. Exclusive bud will be a worthy decoration of your image.

Also, similar products look great if used as a brooch. You will only need to attach the buds to the special fittings using hot glue.
