Iris means "rainbow" in Greek. This name he received due to the wide variety of shapes and shades. And in this article we will look at how to make an iris from foamiran, which can be used to decorate a headband or hairpin or use it in interior decor.

Materials

In order to make iris from foamiran, you need to prepare the following materials:

• foamiran lilac, yellow, green and white;
• acrylic paint in pink, yellow and white;
• thin brush;
• toothpick;
• universal leaf mold;
• glue gun;
• teip tape;
• green oil pastels;
• sponge;
• 2mm wire;
• templates;
• iron.

Master class for beginners

Draw on paper or print flower detail templates and cut them out. Attach the 8 x 5 cm and 6.5 x 3 cm templates to the white foam and circle them with a toothpick, then cut out three pieces of each.

You will also need threedetails measuring 8.5 x 6.5 cm. They need to be cut out of lilac foamiran.

From green foam we cut out a detail 18.5 x 4.5 cm, as well as three leaves 3 x 2 cm.

Cut the yellow foamiran into 3 strips 1 x 8 cm and make a fringe on them.

We make small strokes along the edges of the white parts with yellow acrylic paint. Such a pattern must be applied on both sides of each part. Then we apply small strokes of pink and paint over the lower part of all white petals with the same shade.

On the lilac petals we make veins with a toothpick and paint them in the middle with pink paint. Along the edges of the petals, make small strokes with white paint and draw stripes that diverge to the sides.

Fold yellow details with fringe twice in half and glue from below.

Place the part on the iron and separate the fringe a little with your fingers. From above, paint the part with pink paint.

Heat the white sheets in the form of scallops on the iron and slightly stretch the middle of the part, making a recess in it. The top part of the scallop needs to be twisted a little, and the bottom should be bent.

White petals also need to be heated and a recess made in them. Then you should heat the edges of the petals and give them a wavy shape.

We also heat up the lilac petals around the edges and create waves on them. We bend the lower part of the part a little back. In the center of each lilac petal we glue yellow details with a fringe.

We heat the green parts and press them on the mold. After that, we fold the sheet along and give its edges a realistic shape.

Small green leavesheat and twist into tubes, and then straighten and slightly stretch.

Glue three white combs on top of the wire from different sides. Between them we fix three more white petals. Attach lilac petals under the white details.

We wind the teip tape on the wire and glue small green leaves under the flower. Apply oil pastel on the stem and the junction with small leaves.

We attach a large sheet to the stem with a teip tape and also paint the junction with pastel.

Iris from foamiran: master class

Print out and cut out the petal templates, then prepare 9 purple petals from them (3 for each template).

Take a toothpick and draw the veins on top of the details. On the petals of the second view from above, make an incision. Paint the widest petals in the center with ultramarine paint. For the remaining parts, paint around the edges.

Use scissors to make wavy edges on all petals, andthen paint over the center of all the details with white acrylic paint. After the white paint is dry, apply yellow paint on top.

Now you need to shape the petals by preheating them with an iron. Add volume to the details by taking them by the top edge and pulling back slightly.

Heat the bottom of each petal and fold it in half. After that, continue heating the petals to make the veins more visible.

Next, glue together the first and second types of petals, twist their lower part. You should have three pairs of pieces glued together.

Combine the three parts so that the cut petals are in the center. Glue the remaining three narrow petals between the previous ones.

Attach the wire to the flower and wrap it with teip tape. Cut out large leaves from green foamiran and glue them to the stem. Your toffee is ready.
