How to make a stem for growth flowers?

What a holiday without flower decoration? It will decorate not only the hall where the event takes place, or the area provided for unforgettable shots, but also give vivid emotions to those present. And in a residential apartment or house, giant buds diversify the interior, add a bit of magic to the usual rhythm of life.

Growth flowers got their name because of the height, which reaches 2.5 meters and a large inflorescence. In order to make such beauty, you will need corrugated or decorative paper, isolon or foamiran. Any flower consists of a stem and a huge number of petals, and an artificial one also has a support on which it stands. When creating picturesque trunks on legs for huge gifts of flora, they use: metal-plastic pipes, steel rod, plastic pipes, a bendable hose, heat-shrinkable materials.

The most popular metal plastic, it has several advantages over other materials:

• light weight;
• high chemical resistance;
• durability;
• great flexibility.

The most popular is the manufacture of a barrel made of metal, you can buy it in a plumbing store or in the departments of accessories for water supply. A metal-plastic pipe is a kind of long hollow structure, inside of which there is a metal base, which allows it to bend and hold its shape. When installing the colors of giants, tubes of different diameters from 16 to 20 millimeters are used.

To make such a flower with your own hands, you will need: rolls of green corrugated parchment, wire, glue gun, scissors and fishing line. The manufacturing process itself is as follows.

• Using the wire to form the future stem, given the future length of the composition.
• Cut off excess material.
• Then carefully wrap the wire, the thickness of the wrapped layer should completely hide the original color.
• In order to make the paper stronger and not tear during work, you should not stretch it strongly, and you should also process it with hot glue every 3 cm, and grease all joints with it.

For work it is used: metal wire (the diameter is selected depending on the size of the future stem), PVA glue, green floral tape, green paper towel, toothpick.

Stages

• Before work, it is necessary to prepare a piece of metal 40 cm, plain A4 paper or a towel.
• With glue and a wooden stick, wrap around the stem for growth flowers from the beginning to the end of the length an average of 4 times to hide the original color.
• After complete drying, a teip is wound on top of the paper layer, warming the upper wax layer with the fingers of the hands and rotating the stem.
• Tapes are wound very tightly in several layers.
• After that, the excess end is cut off and fixed at the bottom of the structure with hot glue.

For work, you will need mounting scissors, which even a fragile girl, a household hair dryer, a hot glue gun, a floral teip tape and special plugs can handle to hide the hole in the stands. In order to cut the tube of the desired length, it is important to know before work whether the flower will be on a separate stand or whether the stem itself will fulfill its purpose.

Before work, the pipe must be cleaned with fine sandpaper, to remove all inscriptions and roughness on the surface and make it dull, then go with a rag dipped in white spirit, to degrease the surface and ensure maximum tenacity with tape.

Teip tape is a wax strip, when heated from the surface of the hands and further stretching, it activates its stickiness, waxes, and it fits tightly on the prepared surface. T

Initially, it is worth cleaning the pipe with medium-sized sandpaper (too large furrows remain from the large one) to remove the entire top lacquer layer, and so that the paint fits well on the matte surface. Handling should be done carefully, if necessary, check roughness by hand. Paint with green alkyd enamel, as it holds well and there are no scratches on the surface after painting.

Diluting it is not recommended to reduce the number of layers. Huge artificial flowers are a modern trend. As you can see, there are many ways to create it.
