Method number 5. Decoration of tulle and paper

To create an original artificial flower, you will need the following materials:

1. Fatin. It is advisable to use material in two shades.
2. Thin colored paper.
3. Scissors.
4. Durable cotton threads.

Walkthrough:

• Cut 4 rectangles from colored paper, and 2 from fabric. 2. The size of the rectangles depends on the need and desire. You can make huge flowers, or you can create miniature masterpieces. For example, for ease of manufacturing of your first product, take a workpiece with dimensions of 25 cm by 40 cm.
• Fold all the rectangles in a stack: paper on the bottom, fabric on the top. If the material is of different colors, then put darker rectangles below light ones.
• Gently fold the accordion out of stacked parts. Try to bend at the same distance (2 cm).
• Bend the finished accordion in half. At the bend point (exactly in the middle), tightly pull the workpiece several times with a thread.

Important! Do not rush to cut the remaining ends of the thread, as they can still be useful, for example, for fixing the product on the base for the brooch.

• Cut corners on each fold of the workpiece to form pointed petals. Try to cut the material so that the petals are approximately the same.
• Carefully lift each layer of fabric in turn, first on one side and then on the other so that a bulky flower forms.
• Lift the paper petals. Since both tulle and paper have sufficient rigidity to hold the petals, you will not need much effort and time to form a surprisingly delicate and voluminous flower.

Advice:

1. The method described above is only the basis for unlimited imagination. When creating a product, vary with material, color and size. Use a fabric of different shades, and if desired, you can exclude paper and insert lace instead.
2. Use decorative items made of airy fabric not only for decorating clothes (dresses, t-shirts, blouses), but also for hairpins or hair bands. With the help of a beautiful fantasy flower, you can create an original interior topiary.
