From this master class, you will learn how to make a dandelion from foamiran with your own hands with step-by-step instructions and photographs. You can create a whole composition or even weave a wreath on your head that will bloom forever.
For this we need:
Foamiran yellow and green;
floristic wire;
scissors;
green teip tape;
glue gun.
First, let's prepare the stem for the dandelion. We take a floristic wire about 10-12 cm long, fix a green tape at one end and wind it on the wire to the end from the back side. It is better to fix the end of the tape with hot melt glue.
Next, you need to cut off the strip of yellow foamiran. This will be the main blank for the flower. Its width and length depend on the desired dandelion size. If, for example, you are going to make a whole bouquet, then you can cut strips of different widths and lengths. In this case, the length of the stem of each flower will be different.
For example, we cut off a strip of 30x3 cm in size and very carefully cut one edge with scissors, turning it into a fringe. We do not reach with scissors to the opposite edge about 0.7 cm.
Now, on the edge of the still solid side, we attach one end of the stem so that it does not fall on the fringe.
We begin to twist this end of the stick inward, constantly gluing a new layer. Having twisted several layers, the next ones are already starting to gradually lower down by 1-2 mm. As a result, you will get such a deepening. The main thing is that each layer slides down a very short distance and, as a result, the transition is very smooth, as this will affect the shape of the flower.
In this groove, we apply glue so that it covers the entire surface and squeeze all the walls inward to the stick. We fix it until it cools completely.
The flower will open immediately. We only need to straighten out his fringe to make it look more realistic.
Cut out a green sepal with a diameter approximately equal to that of the dandelion. We make a hole in the middle.
We pass the stem through the sepal hole and glue each leaf to the flower.
The dandelion can be planted on a thinner wire that bends well. Then you can safely make wreaths on your head from a variety of foamiran dandelions, or make a bouquet that will give a sunny mood to your home.

Today we will do the most simple flower- dandelion. Even children can do this master class, the process of creating a sun dandelion from foamiran is very exciting and informative.
You need to prepare the following materials:
For one dandelion, we cut out a yellow strip measuring 2.5x30 cm, and from a green one 3x5 cm.
We cut the yellow strip of foamiran into a fringe, we do not reach the edge of about 4 mm, and the fringe stripes should be very thin, so we cut it very carefully so as not to cut off the excess. It is best to work at this stage with the ends of the scissors.
From the green stripe we form pointed leaves only along one edge. The width of each leaf will be about 1 cm.
Now we heat up the iron at full power. First, lay out the green stripe and hold it for about 3 seconds. In order not to burn our hands, we remove it by turning the iron over. Apply the yellow strip in sections along the width of the iron for 2 seconds.
Both workpieces should twist in the same direction.
Now we take a floristic wire and wind a yellow fringe around its end so that its ends seem to unfold from the inside. We fix each layer with glue.
When the middle of the fringed ribbon has already been wound, we lower each new layer by about 1 mm.
Then flower from thomas will look more natural.
In the same way, we wrap the bud with green leaves, but at the same time the edge must be lowered by 0.5 cm.Cut the entire edge into short strips and glue them inward towards the wire. The leaves should also bloom from the inside and support the fringe of the dandelion. Let them peek out from under the bud a little.
Cut out a circle of such size from the green Thomas so that it can overlap the base of the bud.
We string it on a wire in the center and glue it to the dandelion.
It is very easy to make it so sunny.
Foamiran flowers have become almost a universal decoration for many things. Their aesthetic appearance, simplicity and speed of manufacture contributes to the growth of their popularity among needlewomen. Individual flowers can be used to make bouquets for a birthday, wedding: for a bride or an elegant one. boutonniere for the groom .
Especially for the site Lessons of Needlework Antonina Mazura.
Foamiran's art is tender and very believable. Flowers from this material are not inferior in the liveliness of the species to their real relatives. Ease of work allows you to create any flower, conveying its natural and aesthetic value. Even a foamiran dandelion no longer looks too simple a wildflower, but inspires with its similarity to the little sun.
A seemingly simple living flower is quite simple in its artificial creation. For a yellow dandelion you will need:
The first step in a dandelion master class is to create a bud. To do this, cut out strips from yellow foamiran: two of 2 × 30 cm, one - 1 × 8 cm.A fringe should be made along the edge of the strips.
At the end of the wire, you need to make a hook on which a short piece with petals is put on and twisted. As it twists, the bud is glued.
Such a workpiece should be processed with a lighter. Long strips must be ironed before gluing to the main bud. The iron is set to the temperature for silk or wool. Processing is necessary for easy bending of the petals.
After processing, the strips are glued to the bud.
The second step involves cutting and attaching two pieces of a green foamiran flower basket. You can use the following basket template:
To glue the basket to the flower, you need to warm it up a little with an iron, knead it with your hands, thread first one part onto the wire, and then the second. Having smeared the inside of each part with glue, you should attach them to the base of the bud.
The third stage consists in the design of the stem, which is wrapped with a napkin and processed with tape.
The fourth step is to cut out dandelion leaves from foamiran. To do this, you can use patterns according to one of these patterns:
Light streaks are applied to the leaves treated with an iron and fingers with paint, after which the leaves are glued along the entire length with the wrong side to the wire.
The fifth step is cutting the foam to the size of the pot and connecting the two elements.
The final step will be to collect all the details of the composition by attaching them to the styrofoam in a pot.
The variety of techniques for working with foamiran gives rise to a variety of results of this creative work. For the next step-by-step creation of a dandelion you need:
First, you need to cut a strip with dimensions of 8 × 40 cm from the yellow shape. Having folded the strip along the length, we proceed to cutting the fringe, while making cuts from the side of the fold of the strip.
The whole edges of the strip are glued along the length.
The strip must be twisted into a bud.
Once rolled, the dandelion should look like this:
From the green Thomas, you need to cut out five or six leaves of the basket under the bud. Glue the leaves to the base of the bud.
To cover the base and the place of attachment of the leaves, you need to cut out a small circle, make cloves along its edges in the form of an asterisk, stick baskets on the base of the bud with leaves. After that, the dandelion is ready.
Another type of artificial flower involves the use of a carved shape instead of a fringe. This is a more alternative type of flower, since it does not look like a real dandelion and is really the subject of abstract creativity.
Patterned dandelion petals are made from patterned parts for artificial flowers such as chamomile, aster or chrysanthemum.
Note! Since a dandelion needs a lot of volume, it should consist of at least five layers.
The pattern for patterning the details of the bud is shown below:
Each part of the star must be warmed up with an iron, wrinkled with your fingers to give smooth bends to the petals. The parts are joined together with glue. The middle must be rolled up almost to an unopened appearance, the next layers from the middle of the bud are crumpled as it unfolds, giving the flower the required volume. It is advisable to bend the petals inward so that they are convex towards the sepal basket.
The attachment of such a flower to the stem is due to the double basket. We glue one large toothed part to the base of the bud, the second, smaller one, we glue to the previous part and wrap it around the stem, seating it with glue. More details about creating such a dandelion can be found in one of the videos presented.
Now the choice of materials for making various kinds of crafts is simply huge. Foamiran is considered one of the most popular, from which you can make almost anything if you use a step-by-step series of recommendations.
It is rare to meet a person who does not like fresh flowers.
However, sometimes there are problems regarding their content:
As a rule, artificial flowers are an excellent substitute for natural ones, however, not every one. To be more precise, not all artificial flowers can delight as well as natural ones, because they are not similar, not bright and not juicy in appearance. This can be avoided by choosing flowers from foamiran.
Among the advantages of foamiran flowers, it can be noted that:
A lot of advantages will also attract the fact that it is easy and simple to make dandelions on your own. What can you decorate with them and how to use them? Just imagine how many guests will be surprised when they see blooming bright dandelions on the windowsills in winter? You can decorate absolutely everything with them.
For example:
A panel of dandelions, which look so realistic and will never wither, will look very stylish.
The most important thing is to correctly choose the material, and correctly apply both it and your own abilities.
When working with foamiran, special skills are not required, and even a child can handle it.
A master class on how to make a dandelion from foamiran is quite simple and it will take a minimum of time to realize your dream of creating a real masterpiece with your hands.
Instructions:
It is advisable to coat each rolled-up layer of material with superglue for a more durable fixation.
A headband for a girl is the most desirable and beautiful head ornament, regardless of age. Nowadays, headbands are especially fashionable and are even used in fashion shows as an addition to outfits.
It is worth noting that making headbands from natural flowers is simply not advisable, since they quickly wither, lose their proper appearance, and also begin to exude an unpleasant odor.
The rim of foamiran flowers looks much more attractive, especially if these are dandelions. How to make them is described above, but how to create a hat?
To do this, you need to prepare:
The wire is twisted in 3 layers along its entire length. Bends into an arc. The ends are wrapped in loops so that they do not scratch the scalp. Next, dandelions are gradually placed along the length of the wire. Fastening is carried out by wrapping a wire around the dandelion stem.
Once all the flowers are in place, the excess wire must be removed. The base of the headband is wrapped in a white satin ribbon. You can choose several types of tape by color, depending on personal preference. Along the edges of the rim, you need to make a kind of flat loops with pliers, which are also enveloped with tape.
No elastic is required here, and dandelion leaves will be appropriate in limited quantities in the form of sepals under the buds.
A template for the flowers is not needed, and the rim can be just white. It's simple, the main thing is to have the desire to create.
Quite often, you can find foamiran not only in every store selling handicrafts, but also in many master classes. Naturally, the question arises why?
The answer is very simple, because:
It is from foamiran that various crafts are now made, namely: accessories for clothes and shoes, dolls, flowers, boutonnieres, headbands and similar products. Flowers and products made from foamiran actually look like real ones.
That is why making dandelions from this canvas is not only easy, but also simple, beautiful, and also, this is an interesting and exciting activity.
As already noted, for the manufacture of handicrafts, foamiran needs to be heated. After the craft is ready, the material hardens and is no longer subject to change.
It has such additional benefits as:
Foamiran dandelions will delight you with their attractiveness for a long time. They will not wither, will not close for the night and, moreover, will not scatter when the wind blows.
Foamiran is great for a master class with children, for the development of early creativity. Adults pay no less attention to it, because it is so easy to work with plastic suede, which does not tear and can stretch by 15%.
Home lacks flowers? Looking for something sunny? Make yourself a sunny foamiran flower. This requires a little bit of magic, a little skill and a little bit of desire.
For this we need:
1. Chinese foamiran of yellow and light green color (in any case, any other foamiran can do as well)
2. Hot glue (second is also fine)
3. Toothpick or orange stick
4. Scissors
5. Wire
6. Tape tape (floral tape)
Step 1. Cut off a strip of yellow foamiran 1.5 - 2 centimeters. The longer the strip, the fuller the dandelion will be. For a bud, you need a strip of 5 centimeters, and for an open flower, 20-25 centimeters.
Step 2.Using scissors, you need to make a fringe from the strip. To do this, cut into thin parallel strips, without cutting to a square. The thinner the stripes are, the more natural and beautiful the flower will be.
Step 3. If the color is not bright enough or you want more shades, then you can paint the fringe with pastels. You need to wet a cotton swab (or take a damp napkin) and rub it on the chalk, then "tint" it with smooth movements over the workpiece.
Step 4. To make the petals of the flower more real, they must be processed on an iron. It must be without steam. As soon as the iron is hot enough, you need to attach the strip to the iron and wait until the strip begins to lag behind the iron. While the fringe is still warm, you need to rub it between your palms. So that it is a little curled up in some places.
Step 5. Now you need to take the wire, it should be stiff enough. If its density is not enough, then twist it several times. We wrap the wire with a floral tape, pulling it tightly. Next, unfold the workpiece so that the strips stick out from you. Smear one of the edges with glue and attach the wire. It is necessary to wrap and glue constantly, do not regret glue! (Note that the fringe sticks out, not in)
Step 6. Using a stencil, cut out a cruciform sepal from green foamiran. (they should be wide enough (0.7-1 centimeters) and about 1.5 centimeters long, with notches at the ends of the sepals.) This will be the sepal for the bud.
Step 7. The fluffy dandelion needs another sepal. Cut out a circle from the green foamiran. We make cloves along the edge.
Step 8. To make the flower look real, use pastels to tint the edges with marsh green chalk. You can also add blue and brown. (Toning in different places) - optional
Step 9. What is typical for all flowers are leaves. And the dandelion has leaves. We cut out an elongated sheet with a height of 15 centimeters, and make cloves of different heights along the edge.
Step 10. On the iron, you should process all the workpieces. The cruciform sepal should be attached to the iron (until it lags behind the hot iron), then you need to press down with your finger in the middle until all parts of the sepal rise. A round sepal just needs to be placed on some spherical object (or also pressed down in the middle). A simple sheet must be stretched out, folded in half and bent from the side of the fold with an arc.
Step 11. Using glue, you need to glue a cruciform sepal to the buds (short strips), round to lush dandelions, and glue a sheet to each peduncle.
1. When working with foamiran, do not stretch it too much. Some foamiran stretches well, and some not. But don't overdo it. You need to pay attention to its quality.
2. In order not to burn yourself when working with the iron, you can hold it either with a stick or with tweezers.
3. For toning it is better to use oil pastels. Its quality is more "waxy", other pastels are crumbling.
4. In addition to pastels, you can use acrylic paints (but only after the iron, otherwise it will end)
5. If you overexpose foamiran on the iron, it will curl up and decrease greatly.
6. In stock it is enough to have only white foamiran and any materials for toning.
7. To heat foamiran, you can use a candle or a lighter, the main thing is not to overexpose, so as not to tarnish the material.
8. Bulk can be used to shape foamiran.
9. To make a bulka, you need to attach a bead to a long skewer (they can be of different sizes)
10. Dandelions can be used not only as interior decor, but also as decoration. You can make a brooch, hairpin, decorate an elastic band, glue to a hairpin, make a headband or wreath, and so on ...
11. They can also be used as a decoration for a notebook, an album, decorative elements are very necessary in scrapbooking.
12. An interesting solution would be to paste over a mug with dandelions, which will be a great gift.
13. As well as a memorable gift, you can give a magnet decorated with dandelions.
14. From them you can make a panel or a picture, supplementing it with any decorative elements.
15. Don't have fancy wrapping paper? It is easy to decorate it yourself! Let's take cheap kraft paper, wrap a gift. And on top we glue a few dandelions. It will be a pleasant surprise for the recipient.
Such flowers can be a great decor in the kitchen, in the hallway, in the bedroom or in the guest room. But for this they must be turned into a composition, an image must be created. "Cut this rough diamond."
We will need:
1. A small jar (a glass of toothpicks is suitable)
2. Sisal (or any other material imitating grass)
3. Dandelions
5. Hot glue (universal glue will also work, second will not work)
6. Ruler
7. Foamiran
8. Scissors
9. Plaster (construction)
11. A piece of styrofoam
Step 1 Mix gypsum and water in a ratio of 2 (gypsum) to 1 (water). Pour into the prepared jar not to the end (2 centimeters to the edge)
Step 2 Measure the height of your jar and mark it on the foamiran. After that, you need to wrap the jar with foamiran to find out the length of the strip. Choose the color of foamiran to your taste and color (for example: the color of the room, the color of the dandelions that are in stock, and so on ...).
Step 3 Cut the strip to the appropriate dimensions. And cut a thin strip 1-1.5 centimeters wide, and a long equal to a wide strip.
Step 4 Glue the jar with foamiran and glue a thin strip along the upper edge.
In the absence of the necessary vessel, you can purchase a ready-made plastic or ceramic pot. In the future, it can be decorated with a ribbon or lace.
Step 5 Trim the styrofoam to the size of the can. And stick it inside.
Step 6 Now you need to simulate the grass. The easiest way is to fluff up the sisal and stick to the foam. But! If for objective reasons you do not have it, then there are two more options. The first one is to glue the velvet paper. Second: finely chop the green foamiran, cover the foam with glue (leaving holes for the flowers) and sprinkle with green "powder"
Step 7 Glue the dandelions into the prepared holes.
Step 8 Add a decorative ornament, in this case an apple. You can also glue on a ladybug or a butterfly.
This is how, in a short time, you can create a versatile decor that will add a warm atmosphere and a drop of sun to your home. It is not for nothing that a dandelion is considered a sunny flower. Be creative! Do it! Dream!
