The first step is to prepare wet wipes, pink and white pastels, a white foamiran sheet, scissors, petal blanks, an automatic hair clip, a glue gun, a toothpick and white stamens.

Then blank templates (3 pieces of different sizes) are applied to the sheet of material, outlines of their contours are made using a toothpick. After this, the petals are cut out, their edges are drawn with pink pastel. In this way 8 blanks should be machined, 3 of which should be more contrasting, since they will be placed in the center. In order for each petal to acquire an invoice, it is necessary to iron it with an iron, choosing the working position “wool”, as a result, the petals will become much softer and rise.

The next step will be twisting the petals into a tube, this must be done immediately after ironing the iron, until they have time to cool. Thus, you get a beautiful bud. After the petals have cooled, they should be straightened, slightly stretching along the edges, as they should be thinner. Next, the flower is assembled, the petals can only be glued with special glue, in rows, from larger to smaller workpiece. So that the petals stick together correctly and do not fall apart, at the end of work, it is recommended to insert a toothpick in the middle.

While the flower is dried, you can start making stamens, for which you need a thin wire of a light shade. Stamens are folded in half, bandaged and pulled into the center of the flower by the wire. On the wrong side, the excess wire is cut, the remaining ends are tied. The production is completed by fixing the flower to the hairpin, using glue for this. If you plan to glue a flower on an elastic band, then it is recommended to plant it first on a small piece of foamiran so that the composition does not break up.

It is not necessary that all the petals are the same size, for work you will need 5 small and 5 large petals. They should be heated with an iron, then gently stretch the edges with your fingers to give them a wave.

Next, you can proceed to the direct assembly of roses: First, balls are rolled from pieces of foil, the smallest petal is wrapped around such a ball, then everything is fixed with glue. All other petals need to be glued in a checkerboard pattern, in the end you get a small bud. The next step will be the gluing of large petals, the edges of which should be warmed up with an iron. The assembly of the rose is completed by cutting leaves from light green foamiran, they are also heated with an iron, twisted into a tube and lightly pressed. After this, the tubes unfold, ready-made leaves are obtained, which are glued to the back of the rose bud with glue. In this way, the required number of roses is prepared and a bouquet is formed.
