To create a rose you will need the following materials and tools:
peach chiffon; organza transparent peach color; transparent organza with white or matching color print; satin white fabric; candle for singeing the edge of the fabric; scissors; paper; pencil; pins; needle; threads
Select the fabric so that all colors match each other. It is desirable that the colors alternate between matte and transparent, light and darker.
First, let's prepare the petal templates. We bend the strip of paper in half and draw halves of hearts along the folds. The halves should be of different sizes, and the size should increase gradually. The templates don't have to be hearts. But this is the optimal shape that can help achieve maximum visual effect for the rose.
We fold the fabric in many layers and be sure to secure it with pins along all edges.This is necessary so that the cut out hearts are all the same size and the fabric does not spread in different directions. We outline all the templates with a pencil. The largest petals will be collected initially, so you need to decide what color will be the first, second, etc. The colors will be collected in layers. Cut out the petals drawn on the fabric. Blanks with pencil marks can be thrown away immediately, as their scorched edges will be black.
We begin to singe the edges of all the cut petals. This must be done very carefully so as not to deform the petal. We take the sharp end of the heart with tweezers and hold it over the fire, scorching the edges very quickly.
We have these rose petals of different sizes and different colors.
We begin to collect the rose from the largest petals. One layer will consist of 4 petals of the same color. We pierce the first petal with a needle and make several small stitches. We bring the needle out from the wrong side. We fasten the sharp corners of the petals.
Apply the second petal. We stitch with a needle from bottom to top and top to bottom. Thus, the needle should always be brought out at the bottom.
We collect 4 petals and begin to lay out a new layer, which is slightly smaller in size and of a different color. In the master class, the petals are arranged so that they are matte and large at the bottom, and transparent alternate with matte in the upper layers and until the end.
Gradually reduce the size of the petals and alternate colors.
We secure the knot on the wrong side. If there is a need to sew a finished rose to any material, then leave the thread for further work. You can glue a bead into the middle or cover it with very small petals.
These are the beautiful roses made from fabric!
