Flowers made from nylon - beautiful present for any holiday. Using this technique, you can make an original hair clip, boutonniere, or a small bouquet as a souvenir. In order to build such a mini-bouquet, you will need:
- multi-colored nylon;
- wire 26”;
- barbecue skewer;
- spool of thread;
- template for making flowers from nylon No. 3;
- a piece of napkin;
- tape;
- scissors.
Manufacturing:
1. First you need to make the bases for the petals. To do this, you need to wrap the wire around the template and secure it by twisting it. Cut off the excess with scissors or small special pliers. We will need 6 pieces of such blanks.
2. Next, you should wrap each workpiece in nylon, secure it with thread, wrapping it several times around the wire. For greater strength, you can make a couple of loops. It is best to use special nylon threads - they hold better, but if you don’t have any on hand, then regular ones will do. You don’t need to wind a lot, 4-5 turns are enough. Carefully cut off the remaining nylon (here it is better to use sharp nail scissors). The petal is ready.
3.To make the center of a flower, you can use a piece of any napkin or cotton wool. In this embodiment, the core is proposed to be made from a piece of damp (pre-dried) napkin. Roll a piece of the required size into a ball, wrap it in yellow nylon (or orange) in the same way as the petals, and secure with thread. It is best to repeat this manipulation 2-3 times to brighten the middle. Also trim off excess nylon.
4. Now you should connect the core of the flower with a kebab skewer. To do this, you need to place the center to the edge of the skewer and secure it with thread. To prevent the center from moving anywhere, already at this stage you can use a piece of tape, which helps to better hold the entire structure together thanks to its adhesive properties.
5. Let's start attaching the petals. They, like the core, are wound to the skewer at their base. In order for the flower to turn out lush, they need to be attached slightly overlapping, slightly overlapping each other. You should try to attach them on the same line, because otherwise the threads will be unattractively ironed out from under the petals. To make it more convenient to attach the petals, they should be stretched out a little.
6. The flower is almost ready, all that remains is to form its base. Tape tape is used again - those places where the petals were connected to the skewer need to be decorated with it. This will be the sepal from which the flower originates. Next, we continue to wrap the skewer with tape until the end, or to the required length (the rest of the skewer can be cut off).
7. Now the flower is ready. The petals can be given the desired shape by slightly bending the wire with your fingers.All that remains is to make a few similar flowers to place in the basket.
