You can decorate the interior with artificial flowers for any holiday. Craftswomen choose convenient material foamiran to create their masterpieces. Products made from it look very realistic. It is easy to work with plastic suede, even the smallest details can be made. She is malleable, absolutely safe, able to take any form. Even beginner needlewomen after studying the master classes will be able to create beautiful bouquets and original jewelry.
Soft porous rubber for needlework is named after the Iranian company of the manufacturer of spongy materials - Foamiran.In appearance, it is velvety to the touch, resembles thick paper. Foamiran is a polymer based on vinyl acetate and ethylene. The main substances are organic, have a pungent odor. A few minutes after opening the package, the unpleasant odor disappears.
Plastic suede paper can be used in a wide variety of handicrafts. Among the popular creative directions, the leading position is occupied by floristry. Foamiran is ideal for making bulky buds, miniature petals. Due to its plasticity, bright colors, it is used in scrapbooking, for interior decoration, in children's art, for the manufacture of hairpins and rims.
Properties and types of material
Interesting in composition and texture, foamiran has useful properties for lovers of needlework. Material for creativity when heated changes shape, remembers it after cooling. For deformation of the sheet, special devices will not be required, enough warmth of the hands, iron, tongs. It is easy to cut, has no sharp edges.
It is better to glue parts from plastic suede into the finished product, it is better to apply spangles using a heat gun or strong fixation glue. After solidification, foamiran resembles polymer clay. It does not absorb moisture, withstands prolonged contact with water, does not crack in the winter. It can be stretched, painted with crayons or paint.
A foam is sold in the form of sheets of various thicknesses and sizes. When choosing a material, it is necessary to consider the purpose of the finished product. If this is part of a bouquet, an elegant flower, an ornament on a hair band, you should work with thin sheets, not more than 1.5 millimeters in thickness. Various crafts on coasters, puzzles, applications will perfectly turn out from dense sheets, more than 3 millimeters thick. There are several types of foamiran, each of which has its own purpose:
Iranian. Fine-porous material is sold in rolls and sheets with a thickness of 0.8 to 2 mm.The color palette has more than 30 shades, mostly pastel, calm tones;
Chinese. Rigid, porous sheets from 0.8 to 1 mm. The palette has 24 bright, saturated colors. Deforms quickly during heat treatment;
Chinese "marshmallow". It has various properties depending on the thickness. Up to 1 mm - airy, low-density, stretches without treatment, tinted well. Up to 2 mm - practically does not keep its shape, melts during heat treatment. Use it for doll decor, children's crafts;
Korean. Velvety, "plush" look of plastic suede. The main feature - it stretches perfectly and does not tear when working. It has a standard thickness of 0.6 mm - 0.8 mm - 1 mm. A diverse palette, the assortment contains bright, pastel colors;
Turkish. Sold in sheets, rolls 1 mm thick. It has similarities with Iranian material in many ways. The color palette is less diverse;
Decorative. Suitable for specific jobs. It has an additional texture - convex pattern, sparkles, embossment. Such a fom is used for the manufacture of holiday paraphernalia.
Master classes in making flowers
You can make flowers from foamiran with your own hands without having any special skills and a complex tool. Beginner needlewomen and even children can successfully work with pliable material by following step-by-step instructions when studying master classes. Each living flower has its own characteristics. To give artificial analogs of physalis, dandelion more realistic, you will need to prepare multi-colored sheets of leaf, cardboard, pencil, scissors, toothpick, wire, iron, acrylic paints.
Lily
The first step is creating a pattern. On paper, you need to draw patterns of all the details. The flower for the hairpin will consist of seven petals, three of which are larger than the others, one strip is 6 cm long and 1 cm wide, a triangle with sides 2 cm.You can choose any color of foamiran, but it is better to stay on white.
We apply templates to the material and mark its borders. We cut out the petals and begin their processing on the mold using an iron. If there is no auxiliary element, you can simply fold them with an accordion, thin them with your fingers, apply a texture with a toothpick. All details should be equally tinted with a pale pink color. You can use paints or dry pastels. Then all the petals are heated, pulled by the waves and attached to the prepared litons. Pestles can be made from pieces of foamiran, glue and ground coffee.
The final step is collecting the petals. We wrap pestles and stamens with a green ribbon. Then you need to glue the three largest petals, and the remaining ones between them. Lily flower, daffodil can be supplemented with green leaves of Thomas processed by the same method.
Poppy
It is necessary to start making poppies with a box. To do this, you can use clay and green oil paint. We roll up the polymeric material into a ball and make serifs. Below you need to push a small hole, fill with glue and lay a piece of wire. If the production of a flower arrangement is meant, it is necessary to prepare several boxes at once. Then send all clay parts to the oven for 5 minutes.
For poppy stamens, it is necessary to prepare thin strips of black foamiran, up to 30 cm long. Then, paint with salad pastel one edge on both sides and often cut to half. In order for the stamens to twist a little, they must be heated on the warm surface of the iron.
Leaves, shamrocks, petals should be carefully cut according to patterns, apply texture. Shamrocks can give a concave structure by pressing the center with a finger. Toothed petals will turn out if you treat the edges of the scarlet blanks with scissors with uneven edges. Parts bent on mold or manually are assembled according to the following attachment scheme to the box:
Black stripes of foamiran with concave stamens outward;
Four small petals;
Large petals;
Shamrocks;
Green sheets.
Daisies
To make a summer flower, you need to squeeze 25 petals on a pattern on the foamiran. You can choose any size, but it is better not to make them long, just 5 cm long and 2 cm wide. The ends of the cut parts for plausibility are processed with curly scissors.
For the middle of the flower, you need a yellow strip of plastic material cut by a fringe. Lubricated with glue tape must be twisted with a small offset tube. In order for the tips to straighten and become voluminous, they should be slightly heated and fluffed with your fingers.
The texture on the petals is easily applied when heated with a toothpick or on a universal mold. After processing the main details of the flower, you can proceed to the manufacture of the base. To do this, cut a circle with a diameter of 6 cm from green foamiran, mark its edges at a distance of 0.5 cm and cut triangular notches. Then we heat the sepals and slightly stretch the middle, giving it a convex shape.
Assembling chamomile begins by gluing seven petals to the yellow center. We attach the subsequent ones in a checkerboard pattern. The final stage - gluing sepals.
rose flower
There are several ways to collect a luxurious flower from foamiran. From a malleable material, you can create a delicate bud, a lush tea rose, a wreath of small flowers. For beginner needlewomen it is better to first learn how to make a simple rose using a minimum of elements.
According to the stencils, it is necessary to prepare three patterns for petals of different sizes, with a diameter of 10, 8 and 6 centimeters. The circles must be divided into five equal parts and form oval petals. Then we transfer the outline of the template to the revolver of any color and cut out the blanks.
To make the flower look natural, the edges of the petals can be painted with pastel a tone paler than the main color of the material. We lean the prepared elements against the iron and push the middle of each part of it. The edges of the convex petals need to twist a little.
We form the bud from a ball of foil and a toothpick. The shiny center can be hidden under pieces of foamiran. Assembling a rose takes place by planting petals on a stick and gluing it alternately through one. Any form of flower can be given. The bottom of a blossoming bud is covered with a green substrate with curly sheets. The wooden base is replaced by a curved wire.
Ranunculus
There are a lot of varieties of ranunculus and each is unique in its own way. Of the beautiful artificial flowers, wedding bouquets are often made, they are decorated with crowns, hairpins and hairpins. Each flower has its own pattern and master class:
Asian ranunculus. For work, use white and olive material. Three types of petals are prepared from it and tinted with lemon and pink pastel. After warming up and shaping the bulb, the petals are strung on a wire. The base of the foil ball is lapped with small olive details. With a shift of 2 mm down, parts of a slightly larger size are glued. Subsequent rows are placed on the same level. The product is finished by gluing sepals.
African ranunculus. Four types of squares are cut out of red foamiran - 2x2 cm - 21 pcs., 3x3 cm - 24 pcs., 3.5x3.5 cm - 18 pcs., 4x4 cm - 24 pcs. Then we form petal droplets from them, tint with purple paint. Workpieces must be heated and processed with a bouillon. On the base prepared from foil, we glue all the petals with an overlap, starting with the smallest. You can create the effect of a blossoming flower by heating the finished bud. From green elastic suede we make flat leaves and form a beautiful twig, decorate with glitter.
Persian Ranunculus. From white Thomas prepare petal circles of different sizes. The smallest are tinted with green pastel over the entire surface, the large ones are pink. Using a toothpick, apply texture to the leaves.We warm the petals and push them through with a bulka, just pull out the leaves and twist the ends. We start picking the flower from the small green petals of the unblown bud. On the next blank we fasten the circles in ascending order of magnitude and sepals. We form a branch.
Pion
To make a volumetric flower, you will need to prepare as many patterns of petals of different sizes as possible, small skills in working with paints. Foamiran is better to use a dense, at least 2 millimeters thick. The material for the rough sketches will be cardboard. We cut out patterns from it, put it on the rail and make the petals for four rows, 10 pieces for each.
The next work is to paint the workpieces with acrylic, heating, giving volume and cupped shape to the future peony. The role of the core will be played by a bead wrapped in foamiran. On the prepared and stained green color, the petals must be glued alternately, starting with the smallest. If it is necessary to create a blooming flower for the bouquet, the petals are glued to the bead tightly, smearing half of the detail with glue.
To make the artificial flower look more like a natural one, have a three-dimensional appearance, it is necessary to paint the distant petals from the center in a dark color, with each circle making the tone lighter.
Mallow
To make a mallow flower of foamiran on your own, you will need a minimum of time and materials. According to the pattern in the form of an elongated heart, it is necessary to cut 5 to 7 petals. The longer the workpiece, the larger the flower. Now colorless elements need to be colored and given maximum resemblance to a real plant. The top of the petal is painted in red chalk, and the bottom is yellow. Rub the paint thoroughly with a sponge or napkin.
To make a pestle, you need a cotton swab, PVA and colored sand. Dip the future mallow core in glue and sprinkle with yellow powder. While it dries, you can do the processing of the petals.You can create the necessary texture by placing the part between two sheets of corrugated paper and warming well. Preventing cooling, the sheets must be squeezed over the entire area. Now the mallow petals have characteristic stripes.
To form the bends of the petal, it will be necessary to heat first its lower part - make a hollow, then the top - stretch it well to the sides. It is necessary to glue the elements to the stamen, smearing the very edge of the base. Each subsequent petal should lie in the middle of the previous one, the last plant for the first. The bonding place on the back can be hidden under a green leaf.
Orchid
First you need to prepare cardboard templates for all the details of the craft. The foamiran orchid can be made in the form of a separate flower, as a decoration for a bandage, hair clips or in the form of an original decor in a pot. We make the middle petals darker than the extreme ones from the material. With the help of pencils, we apply characteristic stripes and texture, warm in the hands and stretch, giving all parts a certain shape.
A strong wire can be used as a stalk. We string a heavy bead on it and twist the ends. The largest are attached first - double petals, then triple and middle. For a complete picture, create a few more colors.
You can complement the composition with several unopened buds. The role of the middle in this case is played by folded foil. Glue it with foamiran and attach small identical petals. Stems made of wire can be wrapped in green ribbon or crepe paper. We connect all the details and place them on the peduncle. Decorative orchid looks great in a clay pot.
Crocuses
The first spring flowers delight with their beauty for long, because they bloom for only a few weeks. You can save the beauty of colorful crocuses by making your own hands an almost exact copy of a plant from foamiran.The ideal pattern size is 5 centimeters high and 3 centimeters wide. We apply it to a plastic suede and circle a pointed object at the rate of one flower - 6 petals.
First, we create a vein texture on the elements. To do this, heat them and press them against corrugated paper. The next step is tinting and decoration with green, blue pastel. A pestle can be made from a cotton swab and glue, or from a yellow piece of a cross-piece, cut into small fringes. We glue the prepared central leg with six petals in a chess technique. We start the stem from the bud with a green ribbon and fasten two thin leaves at the very base of the flower. Crocuses look better as a group in a vase or basket.
Tulips
There are several ways to make a real symbol of spring from foamiran. For the simplest, you need to stock up on two blanks, cut according to the drawing in the form of propeller blades. The size of the flower depends on the size of the initial part. The core of a tulip, snowdrop, can be made from any dense oblong object the size of an apricot kernel. More often use foil. For the stem, a wooden skewer, wire is suitable.
You can make a tulip out of plastic suede in any color, but it's better to choose pastel colors. They are easier to tint with art pastels. Edges can be pink and the bottom of the petal green. After painting, parts of the future bud should be undulated - hold near the iron for a few seconds and squeeze into a spiral.
Attach the flower should be careful. The edges should not be fixed to the center. Connect the upper petals follows the middle of the previous ones, so that the craft does not fall apart. A nondescript stem must be wrapped in a green stripe of foamiran and supplemented with oblong leaves.
Chrysanthemum
For the pattern of a multilayer flower, several stencils will be required. The paper square of 10 centimeters must be bent in half several times, cut off the end in a semicircle.This will be the first scheme to be circled on another sheet. We add up the previous sample, but cut off 1 cm more from rounding. We do the manipulation 4 more times. In total, 6 colors of different sizes are obtained.
The cut out elements of chrysanthemum and gerbera can be slightly tinted with acrylic paint around the edges. Any colour. After drying, the workpieces should be moved to the iron with the unpainted side down. The signal of readiness of the part will be the curving of the edges inward. Then they need to be mashed and straightened. For the core, a strip twisted into a tube with chopped fringe is used. Collect chrysanthemum by gluing the middle of all the petals, moving from the largest element to the core. Sheets are added last.
Making small flowers from scraps
When working with foamiran, small scraps inevitably remain. But do not rush to throw them away. Bright pieces can be reused for the manufacture of small details of floral arrangements, ornament for gifts. You can make original prints with metal pins, buttons, various silhouettes, or use a figured hole punch. There are many types of miniature composters that can expand the creative activity of a novice needlewoman or professional designer.
Small flowers, butterflies, bells made of scraps of a rail - an original decoration for postcards, frames, vases, various jewelry. To create them will require a minimum of materials and time. From a narrow crop, you can get a dozen beautiful little forget-me-nots. Making flowers with a hole punch takes place in several stages:
Comparison of the size of the crop with the shape of the hole punch flower;
Production of elements of the composition;
Tinting blanks;
Heat treatment of petals;
Making stamens and forming flowers;
Adding fastening parts (wire, thread, fabric tape);
Leaf preparation (iron, mold);
Collection of the final composition.
If a hole punch tears the edges of flowers, pushes products poorly, put a sheet of paper under the foamiran. This will significantly improve the quality of cutting.
How to use flowers
The main scope of decorative plastic material is floral design. Due to its properties of the most realistic transmission, it is used to make colorful flower arrangements of exquisite roses, spring crocuses and tulips, wild daisies, photo zone decor and much more.
Hats and umbrellas of handmade dolls, fridge magnets, all kinds of products for formal and everyday hairstyles, headbands for adults and children adorn flowers from foamiran. An old brooch can be updated by decorating it with a camellia flower from a revolver. Bored gum will be loved again if the original composition of roses flaunts on them.
Conclusion
Flowers from foamiran have a lot of advantages compared to other materials for creativity. They are very light, so do not burden hairpins, rims and other jewelry. Decorative bouquets and individual flowers are as similar as possible to a natural living original, therefore they will give a good mood regardless of the season.
You can decorate the interior with artificial flowers for any holiday. Craftswomen choose convenient material foamiran to create their masterpieces. Products made from it look very realistic.
