Life-size floor rose made of foamiran may turn out to be the dominant decorative element of any interior. A step-by-step master class gives you the opportunity to build it yourself.
Features of work
Large-sized growth flowers are often used for interior decoration. Despite the fact that you can even make them out of plain paper, it will be much more correct to use foamiran - a plastic foam rubber that resembles thin suede in structure.
Large roses made of marshmallow foamiran look extremely realistic, characterized by durability and long life. They can be made both single-color, and two-color or even multi-colored. The option of creating a standard rose, peony or a bouquet of small buds is possible.
It is necessary to add a few words about caring for a finished growth rose. Foam rubber flowers are not afraid of moisture or direct sunlight. However, they require proper storage and regular cleaning.
It is better to place a large flower in a transparent box of a suitable size, which reliably protects from dust. If the rose is used only periodically, then it can be stored in a cardboard box.
Dust should be regularly cleaned from the exposed flower, and dirt in hard-to-reach places should be removed with a small brush. It is also recommended to blow dust off a growth rose by using a regular hair dryer.
Required Inventory
As a rule, the manufacture of a foamiran interior rose requires a minimum set of materials and tools. First of all, we are talking about foamed rubber of the required shades (for bud petals and flower leaves). Ready-made stamens can be purchased in specialized stores for needlewomen.
Creating flowers is much more convenient with the help of a special template, which is usually cut from a sheet of cardboard. The pattern can be drawn independently, or ready-made, borrowed from the Internet or magazine.
For the processing of foamiran, scissors, an awl and an iron will be required, and individual elements will be fixed with a glue gun. A felt circle can also be useful, which will either be sewn with ordinary threads or glued to the base stem with PVA glue.
How to do it yourself?
It is better to create flowers from foamiran with your own hands, using the master class.
For example, it can be an interior floor tea rose, the diameter of which is about 65 centimeters, and the height reaches 180-200 centimeters. Ready-made decoration is suitable for holding photo shoots and decorating the hall for the holiday, or just for revitalizing the interior.
Since it takes a lot of materials and time to construct a bud alone, experts recommend first making the flower in miniature, and then moving on to its larger version.
It should also be added that if you attach the petals closer to each other, then the opened tea rose is transformed into a closed version.
To form a flower, you need 0.5 standard sheet of foamiran green and 4 sheets of pink. The stem is formed on the basis of a three-meter metal-plastic pipe, as well as 6-7 newspaper or cardboard tubes.
Work will not be possible without instant glue and a gun, green tape, tape, green corrugated paper, stapler and cardboard.
First of all, a standard pink-colored foamiran layer is folded twice in half and cut into 4 squares. It is necessary that the sides of the resulting blanks are equal to 30 and 35 centimeters. In total, 6 such squares are needed, and therefore 2 more will have to be cut from another sheet.
Billets with sides of 30 and 35 centimeters are folded in half and used to cut the petals.
5 centimeters are cut from the remains of the second pink sheet, after which the workpiece is cut in half. If everything is done correctly, then 2 more squares with sides of 30 centimeters should form.
In total, 6 copies are needed, and therefore 4 more are cut from the third pink sheet. Petals are again cut from the resulting blanks, the size of which should be 5 centimeters smaller than the previous ones. The fourth sheet of foamiran is divided into three parts so that rectangles with sides of 20 and 70 centimeters are formed. Having measured from the side of 70 centimeters twice at 26 centimeters, we get 6 rectangles with sides of 20 and 26 centimeters. Tea rose petals should be cut from them again.
At the next stage, the edges of the petals must be stretched, making them wavy. From a piece of cardboard with sides of 20 centimeters, cut out the base of the growth flower. Round the edges of the part.
The bud is formed by bonding individual petals with glue or a stapler, with the preliminary formation of folds. Details are glued in a circle, slightly overlapping, and the components of different rows should be staggered. From the remains of pink foamiran, cut out the petals for the core of the tea rose.
To form the base of a growth flower, it is necessary to twist newspaper and paper tubes, which are glued with rays to the cardboard base, forming the basis for a metal-plastic tube. With the help of green foamiran, corrugated paper and tape tape, the trunk of the plant is formed.
