Master class 1. Simple fabric roses in country style

If you like country, provence, shabby chic or rustic decor, then this master class is for you. Below are examples of work that you can do by mastering the technique of twisting fabric roses.

Spring wreath decorated with fabric roses

You will need:

  • Textile;
  • Scissors;
  • Hot glue gun.

How to make a fabric rose:

Step 1. Cut the fabric into ribbons. To create one rose, you will need one strip 50-70 cm long and about 3-5 cm wide. However, you can choose other sizes if you want to make the rose larger or smaller than in this project.

Step 2. Fold your strip in half and put a 1.5 cm line of glue on its tip (see right photo above).

Step 3. Start rolling the strip into a roll in a few turns.

Step 4. When the roll becomes dense and strong enough, proceed to the formation of the first "petals": fold the ribbon obliquely to the outside as shown in the upper photo on the right and wrap the center of the rose.

Step 5. Continue to form the petals in the same order: fold the ribbon on the bias to the outside - wrap the blank - fold the ribbon on the bias to the outside - wrap the blank - etc. There should be approximately 3-5 bends of the tape per row of petals. From time to time, layers of fabric need to be fixed with hot glue. As a result, you should get a rose like in these photos.

Experiment with the number of folds of the flower and the density of the fabric to achieve a more casual or, conversely, neater look for your flower.

Step 6. Once the rose has reached the desired diameter, lower the remaining ribbon tail down and glue it to the base.

In this project, the back side of the craft was covered with the remaining tail of the fabric.

Step 8. Make the number of flowers you need in different sizes - small, medium and large.

Master class 2. Artificial flowers made of satin fabric or organza

Looking at these flowers from satin fabric, it seems that they were created by a real master of flower making, but in fact, even a beginner can make the same realistic peonies / roses.

You will need:

  • Candle;
  • Satin, silk, chiffon or organza in 100% polyester. For the manufacture of peonies, white and pink matter (all shades) is suitable;
  • Scissors;
  • floss threads yellow color(for stamens);
  • Needle.

Instruction:

Step 1. Cut out 5 circles from the fabric: 4 circles with a diameter of 8-10 cm and 1 circle with a diameter of about 5-8 cm. You can cut it roughly and by eye, any inaccuracies and irregularities do not matter.

Step 2. Light a candle and start processing the first round blank: carefully bring its edge close to the flame and start rotating around its axis so that all the edges of the circle are melted and twisted. Be careful, keep a glass of water ready, and most importantly - do not bring the workpiece too close to the fire. Keep in mind that if you overdo it, the edges will turn black, which is not always desirable. However, sometimes it is the blackened edges that give homemade flowers realism or originality. Repeat this process with all remaining circles.

Step 3. Now, using scissors, make 4 cuts on each blank as shown in the diagram and photo below. The main thing here is to leave the center of the circle intact.

Step 4. Back to working with the candle again. This time, we melt the sections we just made by pushing the sections apart with both hands. Repeat the procedure with all five petals.

Step 5. Set 2 large and 1 smallest blanks aside. We will return to them, but for now let's take care of the 2 remaining blanks, that is, the middle layers of the peony petals. They need to be cut again according to the following scheme.

As a result, the petals will be twice as many.

Step 6 Scorch new cuts with a candle and set the blanks aside.

Step 7. It's time to make the peony stamens in the form of a small pompom from yellow floss threads. For this:

  • Wrap a whole thread of floss tightly around your index and middle fingers folded together. You should have about 8 turns.
  • Now tightly tie the middle of the resulting skein with the same yellow thread (between two fingers).
  • Cut two loops, straighten the threads and trim the pom-pom if necessary.

Step 8. We proceed to the "assembly" of the flower. Stack two large blanks on top of each other, which have only 4 petals, then put two blanks with 8 petals on top of them and, finally, complete the bud with the smallest blank with 4 petals.

Step 9. Hooray, the flower is almost ready! It remains only to sew a yellow pompom to its center, at the same time sewing all 5 layers of petals together.

If desired, glue / sew the necessary accessories to the back of the bud, for example, a pin, to make a brooch out of a flower.

By changing the shape, color, size of the petals, their number and the principle of gluing, you can make not only peonies and roses, but also poppies (pictured), ranunculus, lilies and tulips.

And here is an example of flowers made from organza.

Master class number 3. Flower from frills in 5 minutes

You do not have hot glue, but do you have a needle and thread? Or did you suddenly need to make fabric flowers as quickly as possible? Then we hasten to introduce you to the technique of making flowers from frills.

You will need:

  • Textile;
  • Scissors;
  • Needle and thread to match the fabric;
  • Iron (optional).

Step 1. Cut the fabric into strips about 30 cm long and about 7-8 cm wide. You can choose other sizes to make the flowers smaller or larger.

Step 2. Fold the strip in half lengthwise and iron the fold.

Step 3. Baste the workpiece with wide stitches at the bottom as shown in the photo below.

Step 4 Gather the workpiece into an accordion by slowly pulling the thread. Do not pull the thread too hard to avoid breaking it.

Step 5. Close the circle by connecting the two ends of the tape and making a few stitches (tie a knot on the back).

Step 6. Glue/sew beads, rhinestones or buttons into the center of the flower. Ready!

This method can be changed slightly if you want to make a more layered flower with raw cuts, such as linen or jeans. Cut a wide and long strip of fabric, baste it in the middle from beginning to end, fold it into an accordion, roll one edge of the strip into a roll, and then begin to fold the tape around it. Periodically, layers of fabric need to be fixed with glue or stitches. Below in the photo slider is a master class in pictures on making a flower from flax (scroll the photo to the right).

If you have a large length of fabric, you can make a flower with a large diameter, for example, to decorate a pillow cover. To pick up such a long ribbon, the easiest way is to use a sewing machine.

For this we need:
candle
artificial (!) fabric (chiffon, organza, silk....)
fabric paints
scissors
"hot glue
base for hairpins (headband, brooches, etc. at your discretion)
ribbons, beads, leaflets (optional)
good mood(necessarily!)
If everything is at hand - you can start!
So, first of all, you need to choose a fabric. For this method of making a flower, only ARTIFICIAL fabrics. It can be silk, organza, chiffon, etc., flowers look very beautiful, in the manufacture of which several types of fabrics of various densities and textures are used. Fabric color may also vary. From a colored fabric (or a combination of several colored fabrics), you can make a wonderful accessory for a dress or suit in a certain color scheme. And painted it yourself white cloth, you can get more natural flowers a variety of shades.
Having chosen the fabric, we determine the size of the flower. For convenience, we cut out a circle from thick paper with a diameter equal to maximum size flower, and then three more circles, each of which is less than the previous one by about 0.5 - 0.7 mm. The number of "sized" circles can be changed, but from practice - 4 sizes are the most optimal. Diameter of the big template in my case it is 7.5 cm. At the same time, remember that in the finished form the flower is 1-1.5 cm smaller than the template, depending on the fabric used.
Now that the templates of four sizes are ready, we cut out blank mugs from the fabric. The number of them can be different, it depends on the density and splendor of the flower that you want to get. I cut out about 4-5 pieces of each size, depending on the fabric, according to the principle, the thinner the fabric, the more blanks.
Option 1 (white silk)
We lay out the fabric blanks on the working surface and using fabric paints (I use DECOLA Batik paints), we start painting the future petals. To obtain beautiful and natural color transitions, the fabric must first be slightly moistened.

In this version, I paint only the middle of the blanks, leaving the edges white. To achieve absolutely identical and even blanks is not worth it, because. in living nature there is nothing symmetrical and identical.

After the paint on all the blanks has dried, proceed to the next step - cut out the petals. To do this, cut the workpiece into 4 parts without reaching the center of about 1-1.5 cm and cut off the sharp corners of the petals.
Then carefully and carefully process all the edges of the petals over the candle flame.

Having processed all the “quatrefoil blanks” in this way, we lay them out in size. Then we make a flower out of them in descending order, fastening them together with "hot" glue (or stitching them with threads).

We add stamens (here a small polystyrene tinted in green), leaves and fix our revived flower with "hot" glue on the basis for hairpins. In this case, I decided to leave the flowers more "open", for which I used only 10-11 layers of blanks, leaving the middle free.


Option number 2 (white chiffon)
All stages are the same as in option No. 1, only in this case we paint not only the middle, but the entire surface of the workpiece.

Cut into 4 parts, "round" the edges.

We burn the edges over the candles.

Collecting a flower.

Add leaves and fasten to the base for hairpins. To get such more lush flowers, I used 16-17 layers of blanks, completely covering the middle.


Option number 3 (from colored fabrics)
For the manufacture of these flowers, I used fabrics left after sewing a dress for my daughter.
These are three types of fabrics: gray silk, colored crinkled chiffon and light gray organza.
All stages of work are the same, only without dyeing the fabric. For clarity, I made two versions of such a flower - one of the blanks with 4 petals, and the other of the blanks with 8 petals (the difference is clearly visible in the finished form).


To make such flowers even faster and easier - cut, burn, collect, fix ....

And here is the result - a wonderful accessory for the dress is ready!

Among the many most different way making flowers from fabric, it seems to me that this option is the most affordable, fast, does not require special training and rare, expensive tools. At the same time, it allows you to achieve excellent results!

By fantasizing and experimenting in toning, combination of fabrics and assembly options, you can get a variety of floral decorations and accessories.










I hope my photo lesson will be useful and interesting: it will help someone remember a long-known type of needlework, someone will inspire new ideas, and someone will decide to take the first step into the wonderful world of creativity with its help!

They are as beautiful as living ones, plus: they will not dry out, they will not lose their appearance at the most inopportune moment, on long time retain their original appearance, beauty and color. They can be placed anywhere, and the flexible wire stems are easy to shape into any shape. They are fabric flowers, a real masterpiece of needlework.

Flowers can be made from fabric, which will be easy to collect in bridal bouquet

Wedding decoration with artificial flowers

Usually, artificial flowers at a wedding are used for:

  • and her wedding wreath, and if necessary, also for her handbag and hairpins;
  • and best man;
  • interior compositions.

For example, from satin roses you can make such an original wedding bouquet. Don't miss our wedding day!

We make a delicate and stylish bouquet of satin roses with our own hands!

Just below, you will find how to make artificial flowers at home. Everything you need for this exquisite creativity can be purchased at a specialized store. It doesn't take much:

  • a set of rolls (these are metal balls on wooden handles to give the petals a convex shape);
  • knife for corrugating leaves and petals;
  • a spatula for curling the edges of the petals;
  • scissors, awl, tweezers.

All bouquets, both for the bride and her bridesmaids, are made of fabric.

All of these are very easy to use tools.

To make fabric flowers, we also need:

  • rubber pad on which you will process the details of the flower;
  • brushes for tinting and jars for dyes;
  • glass on which tinting is done.

You can’t do without soft wire for stems, paper (preferably cigarette paper) for wrapping them, and PVA glue (PVA-M latex glue). May be required salty dough or colored paraffin for pistils and stamens and aniline dyes for fabric. And your imagination and ability to be creative will also be required.

The most important thing is right choice fabrics for flowers that you are going to make with your own hands.

Important: easier to work with natural fabrics(crepe satin, silk, crepe de chine, chiffon). They are well stretched and easily corrugated. Synthetic fabrics do not stretch well and deform when the tool is overheated; working with them requires a lot of experience.

Important: use only new fabrics.

Master class of fabric flowers for a wedding

Let's make a very simple open semi-double pale pink chiffon rose. The petals of this rose are almost flat, revealing stamens. Flower diameter 5-7 cm.

Some details for assembling a fabric flower

Preparing fabric for a flower

The fabric is pre-gelatinized. To do this, two tablespoons of gelatin are left to swell in a glass of cold water, then heated in a water bath. With this solution, brush the fabric on a flat surface with a brush, then hang it to dry. The dried fabric is ironed with a warm iron.

Patterns of flowers from fabric

can already be found ready-made patterns, but there is a great little-known way - we will share it with you: patterns can be made according to patterns taken from the contours of fresh flowers. To do this, the flower is disassembled into individual petals, on thick paper outline their contours, cut out, and the pattern is ready.

Do the same with the leaves, but be sure to make a small protrusion in the shape of a boat 5x4 mm at the base of each leaf blade to attach the leaf to the stem. With this method, you can get patterns of any flower, not just roses.

Petals of a very convex shape, which do not lie completely on the paper, are outlined with some deviation from their shape.

Cut “along the oblique”, circling the pattern on the fabric ballpoint pen(red or green). The pencil is not good, as it leaves a dirty mark. You need to cut, leaving a trace from the handle behind the outline.

Coloring the petals of fabric flowers

Shadow tint will make the flower look more natural. They make it using the “raw” method: the petals are soaked in water, laid out on glass and the desired tone is applied with a brush. The leaves and sepals are painted with green paint, the petals are yellow with salad or salmon.

Shaping the petals

This will require bulbs. They are heated on an electric stove and the petal is processed on a soft pad, making it concave. There is another method of processing, cold: the petal is placed on a piece of rubber and carried out with a curling knife from the edges to the center.

Making stamens for flowers from fabric

These elements complete the complete resemblance to a living flower. The stamens are made from threads gelatinized, like fabric, and a colored paint color, into which the end of the thread smeared with glue is dipped. Color can be replaced with melted wax. The number of stamens is 30-40 pieces.

The pestle is made from a ball of cotton wool planted on a wire, painted in light green. The stamens and pistil are attached to a wire hook wrapped in paper and smeared with glue.

fabric flower core

A small button or cotton ball smeared with glue will act as a core. First fix a bunch of stamens with a pestle on it and start gluing the petals: from small to large, in a checkerboard pattern. Glue on the green sepals last. Attach the flower to the end of the crochet stem.

For all work, use PVA glue, it does not leave marks on the fabric.

Fabric flower stem

It is made of wire wrapped in dyed paper shavings (strips of tissue paper 4-7 cm wide). Paper can be replaced with green thread. For strength, the stem is covered with glue or varnish.

Leaves for fabric flowers

Leaf petioles are made of flexible wire, glued, like the stem, with dyed paper shavings. Each leaf blade is glued to a separate petiole, then the veins are applied to each blade with a hard rubber knife. Petioles are collected in a complex leaf with one common petiole.

Assembling a flower branch from fabric

On the stem with the flower already attached, “graft” the petioles of the leaves. Wrap the wire twists with paper, masking the joints.

Fabric flowers look great in the interior, and can also be a profitable highlight of not only evening, but also everyday attire.

Master the secrets of needlework and conquer others with originality! Making flowers from fabric with your own hands is not just an exciting activity, it allows you to penetrate the secrets of higher harmony. And since it is not difficult to make a thing similar to a natural creation, this process will bring you great pleasure. Soon after you learn the technique of weaving petals and collecting them, your house will turn into a blooming garden.

Eternal floral fashion and its types

It is difficult to name a period of history in which artificial flowers would not be held in high esteem. There are a lot of techniques for making flowers from fabric. People tried a lot, trying to achieve similarities with living buds: they used gelatin to give shreds of fabric a stable shape, made petals from bird feathers, wax-impregnated paper, and leather.

About five thousand years have passed since man, inspired by nature, decided to create the first man-made flower. But who exactly owns the championship is still unclear. The ancient Egyptians imitated real flowers using papyrus. Greek women wove silk flowers into their curls. Ancient Romans decorated temples with artificial inflorescences during solemn events.

The tendency of Eastern culture to inherit nature has contributed to the widespread use of artificial flowers in Ancient China and Japan. Since ancient times, Japanese women have been decorating their hairstyles with silk flowers.

Sophisticated - hair ornaments with floral motifs, known since the Japanese Paleolithic, became especially popular in the Land of the Rising Sun at the beginning of the 18th century. They are individual flowers or complex compositions that are mounted on combs or hairpins. According to the material and form of this jewelry, it was possible to determine the class to which its owner belonged.

The word kanzashi also denotes a special technique for making flowers from ribbons to decorate hairstyles. There are a huge number of options for folding fabric petals, thanks to which man-made flowers become very similar to living ones.

In Europe, artificial flowers were especially common as an addition to ladies' costumes or headdresses in the 18th and 19th centuries. Exquisite bouquets on hats or dresses near the neckline give the image additional femininity and sophistication.

Today, many handmade artificial flowers are located in France. The history of some of them has more than 1.5 centuries. Such ancient workshops have their own special secrets of making materials, which are carefully guarded from prying eyes. Well-known fashion houses work closely with outstanding flower masters.

As for the “hot method” of making flowers, which will be discussed later, it appeared not so long ago, because the synthetic fabric necessary for it was invented a little over 100 years ago. This method is based on the property synthetic fiber"roll up" and melt at high temperature.

Secrets of the hot manufacturing method

The "hot method" is the easiest way to make fabric flowers. Petals made of synthetic organza, silk or satin are melted along the edge over the flame of a candle, then the flower is “gathered” from separate parts that are stitched together.

Such an occupation requires a certain perseverance and accuracy, but this is by no means a hobby for the elite - everyone can master the necessary skills.

Some choose to perfect their craft by copying real flowers - if you choose this path, you will definitely be inspired for a long time - there are about 400,000 flowering plants on earth. Others invent their own flowers. If you have enough imagination and good taste - this option is for you.

Creating flowers from synthetic fabric is not a laborious process - it is more like a rest than a job. This activity helps to relax, relieve stress and forget about household chores. And the results of such creativity will delight you and your loved ones for a long time to come.

What you need for tissue floriculture

Another advantage of the hot method of making flowers is the minimal cost of materials. Before making fabric flowers, you need to prepare:

  • synthetic fabrics;
  • candlestick with candles;
  • scissors;
  • cardboard;
  • cutting pencil;
  • a small piece of dense fabric;
  • thread;
  • needle;
  • beads, beads, buttons for decorating the middle of the flower.

How to learn how to make flowers: a master class

Synthetic flowers work well with faux organza, polyester satin (wide satin ribbon), or silk. The combination of a dense and thin fabric of the same color in one flower, or a gradation of shades, when the middle of the flower is darker than the edges, or vice versa, looks spectacular.

After the fabrics are selected, you need to decide on the shape - for convenience, you can draw patterns for each of the bases of the flower. First you need to draw circles (at least 4-5) different sizes on cardboard, then fit the petals into them. After the patterns are cut out, you need to transfer them to the fabric using a pattern pencil.

You can skip the pattern step if you are sure that you can accurately cut out the desired shape without them. You can not make petals at all, but do in circles - then you will get a flower that resembles a rose. For such a flower, thin translucent fabrics are best suited; satin will look heavy and rough.

When making flowers from synthetics in a hot way, you need to follow the rule - the more the better, regarding the number of bases. You can make 2-3 bases of the same size, or you can make each one different. But in the end they should get at least 8-10.

After the bases are cut out of the fabric, you can proceed to melting the petals. To do this, you need to light a candle and gently holding the base between the thumbs and forefingers of both hands, move its edge so that it melts and wraps slightly.

It is not necessary to bring the fabric too close to the fire, as black soot will remain on it. Therefore, for the first test, you should not take light fabrics.

This is followed by the final stage - you need to collect a flower from the bases and stitch them through the center. For the middle, you can use beads, beads, a thin ribbon or just a thread. On the back of the finished flower, you can carefully sew a piece of dense fabric to hide the stitches from sewing on the middle. If you plan to use your creation as an accessory, you can also sew a brooch pin onto it.

Some types of flowers are more convenient to make by cutting out each petal separately - dense fabrics are better suited for this method.

beauty and prosperity

DIY fabric flowers look great on hair hoops, hats, summer straw bags. They can be used in the manufacture and decoration of clothing. So simple yet at the same time exquisite accessory it is easy to emphasize your individuality, make the image more feminine and dreamy.

Poppies... It is impossible to explain why women all over the planet are so partial to these flowers. And even those who claim that they love roses more than anything in the world, when they see poppies, they become extremely delighted and do not see anything else around, and want only poppies, and all at once, even if they lie nearby gorgeous roses. What is the reason for such a mysterious popularity of poppies? Perhaps everything is simple: their scarlet color attracts the eye, and every woman inside is a fatal “girl in red”, who lacks only a scarlet poppy to complete the image? But I don't think the mystery of poppies is so easy to solve...

Creating flowers from fabric with your own hands is not easy. But with desire and diligence, you will definitely learn how to make real masterpieces. In this master class, we will make a field poppy. You can make a whole bouquet of poppies and put it in a vase, or you can make wonderful poppy shoes or a poppy headband, or maybe a poppy brooch? You decide, my dear fatal beauties.

Master class overview

01. We cut out patterns of the future flower from cardboard.

02. For one flower, from a thin satin (100% silk) treated with gelatin, we cut out 2 corollas of a flower. We apply the pattern along the oblique. We do not cut the petals to the center yet, but simply cut them out along the contour of the pattern. When cutting out, we carefully monitor that there are no traces of the handle on the details. We do not cut out the leaves of the future poppy. For them, you need to prepare a piece of satin treated with gelatin measuring 10 * 10 cm.

03. We prepare a newspaper, a palette, paints for batik (green, red, scarlet, yellow), brushes, a jar of water. We breed 2 shades of red of different saturation, using colors from the palette. Moisten the part of the flower (poppy corolla) with water from a jar. With a lighter color, we begin to paint the petals with a movement "from the edge to the center." Towards the center, the color saturation will weaken.

04. We put accents on the edges of the petals with a more saturated color.

05. Color both parts of the flower in this way. Place the parts on a dry newspaper to dry a little.

06. Preparing black paint and a smaller brush. Carefully place 4 black spots on slightly damp details from the front (satin) side in the center of the flower with black paint. Do not overdo it, the spots will spread over time and become larger. Lay the parts on dry newspaper until completely dry.

07. Dilute the green color of the desired shades. Wet a piece of satin 10 * 10 cm with water. We apply spots different shades green, blurring the border.

08. We lay the fabric to dry on a dry newspaper.

09. off the roll corrugated paper cut a strip 0.5 cm wide.

10. Take the wire in your right hand. Put a drop of PVA glue on the end of the wire. Take a strip of paper in your left hand. At a 45 degree angle, attach a strip of paper to the wire.

11. Start twisting the wire between your thumb and forefinger right hand, while holding the paper taut with your left hand and with the index finger of your left hand firmly press the paper from below to the wire.

12. Continue winding the wire, constantly making sure the paper is at a 45 degree angle to the wire and taut. Gradually move your fingers lower, winding the paper along the entire length of the wire.

13. When you reach the end of the wire, cut off the paper, leaving a small tip.

14. Put a drop of glue on the tip of the paper.

15. Attach the tip of the paper to the wire.

16. Moisten your index finger with PVA glue and coat the wire along the entire length and lay to dry. Prepare, thus, 5 wires 30 cm long.

17. Cut out 2 small and 2 large leaves from the green-dyed satin.

18. With wire cutters, divide one wire into several parts by eye.

19. Glue the leaves to the wire wrong side on PVA glue. Leave to dry.

20. Cut the whisk into petals.

21. Bulk 20mm on a soft pillow, fill the bases of the petals with front side.

22. Curl the edges of the petals on a soft or medium pillow 5-8 mm, then from the face then from the inside, imitating the natural wrinkling of the petal, and without touching the folds.

23. Fill the center of the whisk.

24. With a double knife on the front side, draw a central vein from the wire to the edge of the petal.

25. With a single knife on the front side, draw additional veins on the petals.

26. Bulk 3-5 mm, from the wrong side, from the edge to the center, between the veins, roll small bulges on the petals, give them volume.

27. Prepare 2 long wires and a strip of cotton wool. At the end of 2 wires, bend the end with thin-nosed pliers. Start forming a cotton ball at the end of the wire by twisting a strip of cotton.

28. Lubricate the end of the cotton wool with glue and secure. Squeeze the cotton to form a ball.

29. Cut a small square off the crepe paper.

30. Gently stretch the paper over the balloon and secure with string under the balloon.

31. Cut off the excess paper.

32. Wrap the veins on the ball with threads, fasten the threads by tying them in a knot under the ball.

33. Corollas, leaves and box are ready.

34. Prepare the glue. Semolina or crushed coal. Black or green threads.

35. Wind the threads around 4 fingers.
