Let's get acquainted with one of these MK.

If you decide to make spectacular homemade crocuses from foamiran with your own hands, you Do not forget about one of the most important stages - the preparation of templates and patterns for patterns. It is on these elements that the master will be able to cut out all the petals that will be the same and as accurate as possible. Of course, there are also needlewomen who do not need patterns, and they can very well cut out all the components, relying only on their own eye. If you are new to such matters, then there is no point in taking risks.

For simple flowers like crocuses, you only need to save 2 patterns. As the first blank, you will need to apply the petal template of a homemade flower. To sketch it on cardboard or paper, you can imagine a tennis racket, depict the outline of a circle with a net and a small piece of the handle of an object. The height of the template should not reach more than 5.5 cm, while 1.5 cm should fall on the handle. The optimum width of the part is 2.5 cm.

The blank for the manufacture of crocus leaf plates will resemble an elongated and thin part of a triangular structure. Its approximate height is 2-4 cm. To build 1 crocus flower, you will need to cut 6 petals and 2 leaves in accordance with the patterns. It will be necessary to work with patterns correctly. Make sure the petals and leaves are in the correct shape. This will be possible if you act on the elastic material with high temperature indicators.

On sale you can find special molds which will give the elements the necessary form. These are convenient tools, but a master can do without them. Instead of molds, it is permissible to use various improvised materials. For example, to process crocus patterns, you will need to use an iron and a piece of corrugated paper. Let us examine in more detail how to properly process patterns for foamiran crocuses.

1. Cut 6 petals and 2 leaves for 1 flower according to the pattern.
2. Warm up the iron. The temperature is best set at an average level.
3. Attach the details of the future flower to the hot platform of the device for literally 10-15 seconds.
4. Next, press the foamiran elements to the corrugated paper (make pressure movements by shaking the thumb pad).
5. The veins on the leaf should extend along the petals.
6. After that, you will notice that veins have formed on the leaves, outwardly they have become more like natural ones.
7. Process all leaf blades in exactly the same way.
8. If you cook crocus from snow-white foamiran, then the half at the bottom of the petal will need to be tinted using pastel in a dry form. Choose a pleasant lime shade.

When all the components of the future crafts will be prepared, you can proceed directly to the assembly of components. When forming an artificial crocus, pay great attention to ensure that all the petals are on the same level. This is especially true for those flowers on which a small number of elements are present. In addition to leaflets and petals, for the manufacture of foamiran crocus, it is also necessary to prepare the middle. To build it, you will need to cut a small rectangle with a height of 3.5 cm and a width of 2 cm from yellow foamiran.

We will analyze step by step how to properly collect foamiran crocus.

1. The first step is to cut the top of the rectangle, giving it the shape of a fringe. Take the wire. Lubricate with glue (it is better to use glue “Moment”) the bottom of the rectangle. Wrap them around the wire base.
2. Both pestles and stamens should be present in the bud. They can be purchased at a specialized outlet for creativity or built with your own hands.
3. To do this, cut 3 pieces of wire, the length of which reaches 3.5 cm. Attach to all the listed bases balls of polymer clay of yellow color.
4. Send the blanks to the oven. When the stamens become dry and cease to be hot, coat them with adhesive, lower them into a semolina. Paint the dry semolina with yellow paint.
5. Fix the stamens on the wire in different directions, but in line with the winding, where fringe is present.
6. Prepare 3 crocus petals, stick them in 1 row around the central part so that their edges meet each other.
7. From the 3 other petals, build a 2nd row. They will also need to be glued as close to each other as possible. Place the components from the 2nd row so that they can cover the joints of the petals located on the first row.
8. Wrap the bottom half of the petals with a green floral tape. The same should be done with the crocus stem. If you don’t have such a ribbon, you can use a winding of threads of a suitable color instead.
9. Next, you can proceed to fixing the leaf plates of an artificial plant. They must be placed parallel to each other, closer to the lower half of the stem.
