Preparation
If you stock up with all the necessary materials and devices, you can proceed to preparatory phase manufacturing foamiranic peonies. First of all, you need to prepare a detailed future crafts template. Without the right sketch and scheme at hand, you will not succeed in making a quality bouquet, especially when it comes to a beginner.
Prepare patterns for future petals. They will need to be drawn on a cardboard sheet, and then carefully cut. Look at the pictures of a real peony. Draw parts of different sizes. In the future, you will add a single flower from them. You can prepare from 10 to 14 petals. They can be small and thin, which will become attached to the middle of the flower, as well as larger ones - they will play the role of external components.
Think over shape of elements yourself, looking at a real plant. A good solution would be to use stencilstaken from the internet. In length and height, peony petals are best done from 3 to 6 cm. After this, you should do the preparation core pattern. Cut 2 strips from the cardboard, the width of which is 3 cm and the length is 14 cm.
Draw on the cardboard a pattern for leaflets to the bud. Draw a circle and divide it into 6 halves. Each part will be a leaf. You will not have to sketch them in detail. Carefully cut out the patterns with scissors. Do not throw away the stencils yet. After that, you can make blanks from the foamiran itself. Petals and leaves should be circled with a toothpick or a match on the revolver. Outlines will appear on the material. Make about 50 different petals for the bud and 6 leaf blades.
Circle the cardboard strips on the purple foamiran. Having cut them, each must be turned into a fringe. From it you will make peony hearts. After that, a peony pattern will be prepared. Petals are allowed to slightly tint with purple, adding additional shades to them.
Draw veins on the leaves to make them look more natural.
Formation
If you have prepared all the necessary blanks, you can proceed directly to the formation of handsome peonies from foamiran elements. This process is quite simple, no special skills and knowledge are required to assemble the craft. As for the novice masters, it is better for them to listen to all the points of the MK (master class).
- Give the peony petals the right shape. The petals of this plant are slightly concave. It is easy to create the necessary deflections and folds on the foamiran. Twist each petal into a tourniquet, pull and open. The edges will be slightly wrinkled, wavy.
- Using an iron and a little bulka, the petals must be pressed and made concave.
- WITH green leaves one must do the same. Fold them in half, stretch the middle. Pull the tops, slightly twist.
- Having prepared all the indicated details of the future peony, it is worth tackling its stem. Roll a small ball from a foil sheet. Instead, a small bead is acceptable. In a foil circle or bead, install the wire, and then securely fasten with glue so that the base is as strong as possible, does not fall apart. Wrap these elements with a foamiran. As a result, a bright ball will come out.
- Next, you can go to peony bud formation. You can make it seem magnificent, or create the feeling that it was just starting to blossom. Glue the fringe as firmly and securely as possible to the prepared base, wrapping it in a small roll. This is the core of the peony bud. Lock the flower petals around. Petals should be located as close as possible to each other, like a real plant in natural conditions. First you need to fix the thinner, inner petals, and then the large, outer elements.
- At the end of all these works, leaf blades will need to be attached to the peony. Through the use of a special woven sticky ribbon, the stem will acquire a pleasant green color. It will be possible to attach several more branches with leaves to it. The leaves of a homemade plant, too, must be carefully cut from foamiran. Stalks for them can be prepared from a smaller type of wire than in the case of an ordinary stalk. Foliage and stem can be slightly crushed right on the finished product so that they take on the most natural, natural form.
