Making daisies from foamiran

Field chamomile is a bush flower, on one stem of which there are several inflorescences at once. However, this airy and sweet plant can please the eye not only in the conditions of a summer cottage, but also in the home interior. The masters get chic daisies from foamiran. The whole process is quite simple and understandable, so almost everyone can cope with it.

Before starting to create beautiful flowers, the master must stock up on all the necessary fixtures and materials. So, foamiran, which will be discussed today, began to be used in our country relatively recently. It is characterized by elasticity, due to which it is easy and simple to work with. Soon, the named material became quite popular. Many needlewomen began to turn to him. They began to make various kinds of decorative components from foamiran that look elegant and attractive.

The material in question is offered in a wide range of colors. Thanks to this, masters have the opportunity to create beautiful toys, decorations, and even full-fledged thoughtful compositions that look very realistic. Often, foamiran is called plastic suede for his "obedience" in carrying out work.

To date, foamiran is available in the form of thin sheets, silky to the touch. The structure of the material is slightly porous. They make it from foamed rubber, and it has the following properties:

• It is water repellent;
• can take many forms under the influence of high temperatures;
• able to keep in shape;
• not afraid of heat or frost.

Foamiran made in China or Iran is sold in stores. The latest options are recognized as better. For the manufacture of charming daisies, it is recommended to select Iranian elastic material, because it is easier to work with it, and products as a result come out more natural. If this is necessary, it is possible to tint finished crafts with paint or powder.

Now consider in detail all the materials that will be needed for the manufacture of daisies:

• snow-white foamiran;
• green and yellow foamiran;
• cardboard and scissors;
• a strong wire of a floristic type from which it will be possible to make a stem for flowers;
• a simple pencil;
• glue in the form of a gun;
• iron;
• tweezers;
• toothpick.

As mentioned above, it is not difficult to make flowers from a compliant foamiran on your own. If you have never encountered and worked with this material before, it is worth acting in accordance with the step-by-step MK in order to prevent unnecessary mistakes at any stage.

• The first step is to prepare a template for future colors. It is especially important to pay due attention to this stage if you are among the beginning masters. The speed and ease of work on creating crafts from foamiran will depend on a properly prepared scheme / template.
• Draw a petal on a cardboard sheet. Its width should be approximately 1 cm and height 3 cm.
• Draw another piece of paper on the cardboard, but with teeth, like real flowers. The width of this part should be 2 cm and the height 6 cm. Carefully cut prepared templates with scissors.
• The listed dimensional parameters are relative. If you wish, you can make these parts larger or smaller.
• Transferring the drawings to the foamiran itself with the subsequent pattern turns out to be a simple and quick task. The main thing is to be careful. Attach the templates to the Iranian material, cut out all the elements, moving along their contour. Transfer the drawing to the matter with a pencil, carefully cut along the line. After that, the pattern will be ready for the next steps.
• Try to make sure that the petals of the future daisy are smooth and neat. But the leaves can be made and multidimensional.
• To build a small but beautiful bouquet of 3 daisies, you need to prepare the following components: 11 petals, 3 strips of yellow foamiran for the flower center (approximate size - 0.5x14 cm), leaves of green material - 5 pcs., Sepals (for flower base) - 3 pcs. Of course, the number of these components may be different.

Having prepared all the details, it is worth considering a master class on the manufacture of all necessary parts.

• Attach the petals to the surface of the iron until they curl slightly. Then process these elements (you need to do this right away) and set the iron aside.
• In the middle of each petal, make neat stripes, wielding a sharp toothpick angle. So the details will take on a specific shape.
• Next, you can do the middle of the flowers. Cut along the long edge of the strip 2/3 of the width of the line. Then fix one of its edges on the wire (the cut should “look” outward), as if twisting the roll. In order not to encounter unwinding, it is necessary to apply the adhesive composition to arbitrary sections of the strip surface during the course of the work.
• Having fixed the center of the daisies, they will need to be carefully trimmed at the edges with scissors. This is necessary to create an interesting volumetric effect.
• Then the upper part of the middle will need to be held over a candle for a short time or flooded with an iron.These actions will be needed to consolidate the result and give the daisies a more natural look.
• Streaks should be drawn on the sheets using the pointed edge of a toothpick. Thus, you should do with all the elements of future flowers from the bouquet.

When all the components for the entire composition are prepared, you can proceed to the assembly of daisies. Consider how to do this correctly.

• Glue parts using a special adhesive solution. An ideal solution would be a glue gun. Working with him is very convenient and easy. The flower arrangement, bonded with this component, is more accurate, without ugly smudges.
• First you need to attach the narrow parts of the petals to the side of the middle in a circle.
• Then you should take the sepals. Cover them with the lower half of the middle and cut sheets. For this purpose, it will be necessary to thread it on a stalk of wire and stick it to the very bottom of the daisy.
• Each of the leaves will need to be carefully bent in the middle, and then mashed so that the look is more natural.
• Then all 3 daisies will need to be collected in one bush.
• Attach daisy leaves to the bush. It is advisable to close the junction of the wire with these elements, as well as areas with defects, if any.

If you are determined to make spectacular and naturalistic flowers from foamiran on your own, it is worth arming yourself with some useful tips and tricks.

• All details for future bouquets or single flowers must be cut out as carefully as possible without rushing. If damage to the material or some defects remain, they will be noticeable on the finished craft and ruin its appearance.
• Do not think that only small flowers and bouquets can be made of foamiran. If desired, chic large crafts can be made from this material. The main thing is to stock up with the necessary amount of foamiran, preferably Iranian production.
• Stretching and adjusting the shape of parts for flowers is necessary while they are still warm after being ironed. At the same time, one must act carefully so as not to tear the workpieces.
• Instead of an iron, it is quite possible to use a lighted candle to warm the foamiran. The main thing is to observe safety precautions and be careful.
• You can sketch a template for creating future colors yourself, or you can find attractive patterns on the Internet. Each master decides on what basis he relies.
• For cutting workpieces, it is recommended to use exclusively sharp scissors. Otherwise, the process of preparing the necessary parts will be long, difficult and not the most productive - many elements can be ruined by blunt blades.

From foamiran, you can make many beautiful flowers and floral arrangements. Such products can become a spectacular decoration of the interior or an original gift. Let's look at some good examples.

• Chamomile from foamiran can be made more interesting and attractive if supplemented with miniature figures of ladybugs sitting on their middle.

• The flowers will turn out brighter and more original if the petals are made colorful, but the central part is left yellow. Externally, such crafts will look fabulous.

• From Iranian red foamiran, you can make chic growth roses with huge lush buds. Such decorations will stand out in the interiors, designed in calm white colors.

• From the pliable material considered, it will be possible to make a gorgeous bouquet in a beautiful package, composed of several large rose buds of various shades. For example, it can be white, beige and dark purple flowers.
