If you are a lover of flowering house plants, then this Master Class will not leave you indifferent. We'll make it exotic foamiran flower, from which you can make a composition. A very realistic orchid branch can deceive even an avid gardener; it can easily be confused with a real, living beauty. In one branch we will collect several orchid flowers with a closed bud at the beginning. Such a branch can be inserted into a flowerpot with orchids that have already bloomed. And your flower will always be beautiful.
For the master class you need to prepare:
- white foamiran for petals;
- purple foamiran for the middle;
- green foamiran for the bud;
- black beads with a diameter of 0.5 cm;
- thin wire;
- candle;
- awl;
- scissors;
- pen with purple paste;
- foil;
- green tape;
- floral wire;
- glue gun
How to make an orchid from foamiran
An orchid flower will consist of a center and 5 petals. We draw blank templates. The size of the orchid can be adjusted by changing the dimensions of the template.
The petal that is in the middle must be made double. Its narrow edge should connect two workpieces at once. Cut out three parts.
We trace the outline of the templates using an awl.
Using our fingers, we will add volume to the middle of each petal, stretching it a little.
Then we carefully stretch the edges, making them wavy.
We receive the petals ready for assembly.
We string each bead onto a wire and secure it by twisting the ends. The length of the wire when folded should be about 8 cm, that is, the total length is about 16 cm.
Using an awl, we make a hole in the upper part of the purple center, as shown in the figure, and thread a wire with a bead into this hole.
We light the candle and hold the purple blank above the flame at a distance of 20 cm parallel to the table.
The workpiece will begin to curl and at this moment we remove it.
Using an awl, we make a hole in the middle of the double petals and string them onto a wire. Apply glue to the back of the purple center in the area of the wire and fasten it together two layers of foamiran.
In the same way we attach the triple blank of petals, but making a hole at the base of the upper petal.
The flower is already becoming like an orchid.
Using a pen with purple paste, draw stripes on the double petals starting from the middle. They should fan out to the sides.
We form a drop 1 cm long from foil and string it onto a wire, securing it with glue.
From green foamiran we cut out petals 1.5 cm long and 1 cm wide. We scorch these petals over a candle flame. They should turn out voluminous.
We paste them over the foil blank.
Since all the orchid fragments are ready, we begin assembly. Take the floral wire and wrap the newly made bud around it. The end of this wire should rest against the base of the bud.
We retreat 6 cm from the end and wrap the first orchid flower. The distance from the wire to the flower should be about 1.5 cm.
In this way we wind the remaining 2 flowers.
Then from the bud we wrap the entire length with green tape.
We pay special attention to the junction of the orchid and the wire.
It is better to secure the ends of the tape with glue.
It turns out very tender.

I found wonderful compositions of decorative candles and orchid flowers made from fabric. Below I post a master class on creating one of the types of orchids from fabric from Marina Danilova
Orchids are very diverse in shape and color. This is an exquisite and elaborate flower. Here we offer a pattern for the simplest orchid, but using this pattern you can make other varieties of orchids, just by adjusting the pattern and outline of the petals.
Silk is suitable for making petals. For some tongues - panvelvet. If both the petals and the tongue are made of silk, then two parts are cut out. If the tongue is planned to be made of panne velvet, then it is cut out separately.
For detail a, you can immediately select a fabric with the desired brown pattern or draw it on dry petals with diluted brown ink or aniline. In part B, the petals and tongue are left white, only on the two upper petals, closer to the middle, several brown spots are applied and a yellow spot is made above the tongue (under the future stamens). Petals b. Three wires wrapped in white silk are glued to the back of the petals. The petals are corrugated on a hard rubber cushion with a single cutter from the middle to the edges. The two upper petals are bubbled with a small bubble at the ends from the inside out so that the petals curl back. The lower tongue is corrugated with a single cutter on the front side and on the back, alternating corrugation. The lines are drawn smoothly, fan-shaped. The central part of the tongue is treated with a small boule from the front side along the yellow spot so that the edges are smoothly curved outward, and along the edges of the tongue is treated with a small boule from the front side on both sides of the central vein.
Petals a. They are treated with a small bubble on the front side at the bottom of the petals and ironed with a hot iron along the edges so that they bend outward.
The leaves are made from dense green fabric - satin, silk. Wire is glued onto them from the inside out. The sheet is corrugated with a double-row cutter along the central vein from the back, and with a single cutter along the front side lines are applied (two or three on each side of the central vein) along the entire length of the sheet from the base to the tip. The base of the leaf itself is made expanded.
One or more flowers can be attached to the stem. Each flower is made on a separate wire. A small cotton ball tied with thread is wound onto the end of the wire and coated with glue - this is a pestle. The very tip of the ball is dipped in hot sealing wax or brown-colored glue. The end of the wire is slightly bent so that the ball hangs over the tongue, and wrapped with light silk.
The first row of petals (petals b) is put on a wire and secured 1 cm below the pistil. Then petals a are put on so that they fill the gaps between the first row of petals. The flower is given the desired shape by hand:
petals b - the tongue is bent forward, and two petals are bent slightly back;
petals a - the upper petal is bent slightly forward, and the side petals are bent back.
Since the orchid does not have a cup, two rows of petals are glued together in the center, and the wire under them is wrapped with green paper or cloth.
If you plan to make a whole branch with flowers, then flowers are attached to the main, thicker wire in the next order. At the point where the flower is attached to the stem, the orchid has a natural thickening, which is very convenient for assembly - there is less fuss to hide the twisted wire when attaching the flower. At the bottom of the stem, a thickening is made from cotton wool - a bulb, onto which a leaf is attached, clasping the bulb with the end of an expanded petiole.
For work we will need:
1) fabric (20*20cm) - satin or crepe-satin
2) glue Moment crystal
3) Gamma paints for fabric, brush
4) wire
6) cardboard for patterns
7) tools for flower making (bulks and a single knife), pillow
Let's start making the orchid.
Making a pattern
We cut out the fabric according to this pattern and draw veins on all the details with pink paint, it turns out like this.
Then on each part from the face and back we draw veins with a single knife.
Then we take a small bun and make curls on 2 parts from the face and back
Then we take the part of the middle of the flower and a larger piece and twist the upper part of the part.
We make the middle from wire and beads.
Then we collect all the parts starting from the middle and all the parts in order.
If during the work the edges become a little frayed, then you need to carefully trim them with small scissors.
You can also color it at your own discretion, I did this one specifically for a wedding dress, so in this color.
You can also do the middle differently, glue beads onto the fishing line and make it like stamens. By the way, the coloring here is different, it’s made just like a brooch.

The orchid can confidently be considered one of the most delightful and beautiful plants. The flower has earned the love of a large number of people due to its unique structure and variety of colors. If there are no live cute orchids in the apartment, you can easily make one from artificial materials at hand. Foamiran orchids do not require constant care, but they give their owner a lot of joy.
Working with material
In fact, working with such material is quite simple. Very often daffodils and Thomas orchids are made from this material. Even a beginner can master the technology. First, certain objects are cut out with scissors, for example, geometric shapes, hearts, flowers or petals.
A specific hole punch is used to create an openwork edge or create holes. Volumetric particles are created by fingers by stretching the material and then maintaining this configuration. Sheets - one tone. If you need to get color transitions, you will have to create them yourself. Dry pastels are perfect for this. If you complete all the manipulations sequentially, you will get a gorgeous foamiran orchid that can be placed in a pot. Using the ready-made instructions, creating a flower is not difficult.
The structure of an orchid is slightly different from the structure of a simple flower. It has three sepals, two side petals and a central petal that looks a lot like a baby's lips. The color range is quite varied. Foamiran stretches well when heated, acquiring the required shape, which helps create beautiful petals. In addition, this material:
- Environmentally friendly.
- It can be easily cut with tools, which is quite convenient for children's creativity.
- The material can be washed with water without fear of changing shape.
A huge range of colors and shades helps you make a flower as close to the real thing as possible. Now this material is popular among craftswomen. The material can be found in any specialty store.
Patterns and templates
There are probably no people who don’t like orchids. These bright flowers of a unique shape are usually called a symbol of the tropics. Petals are distinguished depending on the type of plant. To create an orchid pattern from foamiran you will need the following:
- The core of the flower, the “lips”.
- Petals (5 pieces).
- Stamens and columns (for certain subspecies).
The most popular variety is considered to be phalaenopsis; the flower size of this plant ranges from five to fifteen centimeters. You can make a stencil just 1 petal and the middle (sponges) to make a phalaenopsis from good suede. Even an inexperienced person can make a template for a flower; you just need to listen to the recommendations of professional craftsmen. To create a pattern for a cattleya orchid, you will have to make 2 different types of petals, and in the version with cymbidium, you will need a template to create the middle of the flower.
The foamiran orchid template is made from thick cardboard or high-quality paper. First, choose the type of flower, and then make templates and transfer them to sheets of high-quality suede.
Making an orchid with your own hands
To make a beautiful flower, prepare everything you need in advance and do the work consistently. You will need the following:
After collecting all the materials, you can proceed to making the flower.
Making petals
First make all the individual parts of the flower. Attach the blanks to a sheet of material and cut out all the details of the future orchid from it. Heat the core on the iron and give it a certain shape with your hand. Do the same with the petals using molds.
Trim elements if necessary. Start applying pastel to the surface of the created parts, blend it with a brush or stick. After this, begin to cover the colored layer with a fixative so that the powder mixture does not fall off the material, and stains from touching the flower do not remain on your hands. Make a core from a cotton swab and strip. If you are making a souvenir in a vase or flowerpot, make leaves and a stem. This is how the blank will be created.
Assembly of elements
When all the necessary details are done, it’s time to move on to the most important thing - creating a real masterpiece. This is done sequentially from the core to the framing petals. First, each of them must be glued at the base, then all the elements are folded together, tightly one to the other. The final touch will be to make a pattern of dots or thin lines with special paint on the petals near the central part of the flower.
Done. You have a delightful plant for a pot. The master class is completed. In the same way, you can make an orchid from felt with your own hands.
Attention, TODAY only!
The orchid can rightfully be considered one of the most exquisite and sophisticated ornamental plants. The flower has earned the love of many fans thanks to its unusual structure and variety of shades. If there are no living beautiful orchids in the house, you can easily make one from artificial materials. Foamiran orchids do not require daily care, but they bring a lot of pleasure to their owner.
Little tricks for creating an orchid
An orchid is an unusual plant that has a structure that differs from other, common flowers. It has two side petals, three sepals and a petal in the center of the flower, reminiscent of baby lips. Color ranges from white to deep purple and dark red. The most attractive in its beauty is the cymbidium - this subspecies of flower can be made of artificial material, for example, plastic suede. Such a flower is no different from a living plant; it will decorate the interior of any room.
The main advantages of foamiran are the following qualities:
- plasticity - the material easily stretches and changes when heated;
- it can be easily cut with scissors;
- finished products can be washed well with plain water;
- foamiran is environmentally friendly;
- the variety of shades makes it possible to create flowers that are as similar as possible to living orchids.
- Foamiran can be purchased at any store that sells craft supplies.
Making a pattern for a future orchid
There is probably no person who doesn’t like orchids. These colorful flowers of unusual shape are considered to be a symbol of the tropics.
Orchid petals vary depending on the type of plant. To create a pattern you will need:
- flower core;
- "sponges";
- petals (five pieces);
- stamens and styles (for some subspecies).
The most common variety is phalaenopsis; the flower size of this plant ranges from 5 to 15 cm. You can make a stencil of just one petal and the middle (sponges) to assemble the phalaenopsis from plastic suede. Even a beginner can easily make a template for an orchid; you just need to listen to the advice of professional craftswomen.
To make a pattern for a cattleya orchid, you will have to additionally create two different types of petals, and in the case of a cymbidium, you will need a template for the middle of the flower.
Templates (stencils) are prepared from thick cardboard or very thick paper. First, choose the type of flower, then make templates and transfer them to sheets of plastic suede.
The main stages of making cymbidium from foamiran
Before collecting a cymbidium flower, you need to prepare a column, a tongue and five petals. You can use your own imagination, use the ideas of other craftswomen, or use the following recommendations:
- Draw a vertical line 6 cm long, then at a height of 3 cm you need to draw a transverse line perpendicular to the vertical one and mark 1.5 cm on it in both directions. Connect the resulting points with a smooth line - you get a leaf.
- For the column template, you need to draw a rectangle, the width of which will be 1 cm, and the height will be 6.5 cm. The corners are smoothly rounded and an incision 3 cm deep is made on one side.
- To create the tongue you need to draw a heart and a circle. The width of the heart is 4.5 cm, the height is 3 cm. The radius of the circle is no more than 1.5 cm, and the circle is placed above the heart so that the figures touch each other. Trace the outline of the resulting figure - that’s it, the tongue is ready.
The finished stencils are placed on foamiran plates, traced along the contour with a special stick (knitting needle) and then the details for the future flower are cut out. The color of the cymbidium can be any; everything here depends only on the imagination of the master. Most often, the most striking element of an orchid is the “lip”; the remaining petals can be tinted using pencils or acrylic paints. And now we invite you to familiarize yourself with a step-by-step master class on creating a delicate lilac orchid branch.
How to make an orchid sprig from foamiran?
In this master class we will make an orchid sprig from foamiran. It will decorate your room and complement the flowers that have already faded.
To create it you will need:
- green, lilac foamiran;
- purple pastel;
- damp foam sponge;
- awl;
- scissors;
- thin and thick wire;
- black beads;
- iron;
- foil;
- glue gun
We cut out the templates for the orchid, which are given above in the article. Choose the color of foamiran that you like best, and to tint the middle, take a darker shade of art pastel. For one flower we prepare one blank of each template. We trace all the templates using an awl or a toothpick. We outline petal number 2 once, and then its mirror image opposite. That is, you should get a double part that is connected in the middle.
Let's make two unopened buds: one from green, the smallest, and the second, a little larger, lilac.
Using purple art pastels, we will completely shade the middle of the orchid under No. 1. Template No. 2 will be shaded only in the center, shading closer to the edge of the petals. We will also tint the blanks for the buds. First you need to moisten the foam sponge, apply pastel to it and then paint the foamiran. After this, let the paint dry.
Let's give each piece a shape. Heat up the iron and lay out petal No. 1 for about five seconds. At the same time, constantly press down on the middle and the foamiran will begin to bend. Drop the petal onto the table. In the same way we prepare the fom for the buds.
In the remaining blanks, we process each petal separately. Apply to the iron for 2 seconds, stretch the middle with the fingers of both hands.
Let's start assembling the orchid branch. We cut the wire 15-20 cm long, string one bead, which we place in the middle, and twist the ends of the wire under the bead.
We pierce the wire at the top point of part No. 1. Then we pierce the center of the remaining petals. You can fix each layer with super glue.
For the buds, we will make drop-shaped foil blanks of such a size that they fit in the petals.
We pierce the middle with an awl and thread the wire. We connect the ends under the wide base of the drop.
We collect the buds, glue all the petals in a circle to completely cover the foil.
We wrap the stems of orchid flowers with green tape. Then we collect the twig starting from the smallest bud, to which we attach a thicker wire. We gradually move down the branch, distributing the flowers evenly.
This is how easy it is to make an orchid sprig with your own hands.
An artificial orchid, just like a living flower, fits perfectly into any interior; it looks natural in a flower pot, being a worthy decoration for any window sill. The only disadvantage of such a product is exposure to sunlight, under its influence the petals may lose their color.
Orchid for gift decoration
As you know, foamiran makes very beautiful hair accessories or interior flowers. But few people thought that any gift could be decorated with such flowers. Today we suggest making a delicate orchid for gift wrapping.
Materials and tools:
- - orchid template;
- — silk foamiran (iveri color);
- - Iranian yellow foamiran;
- - bright yellow silk foamiran;
- — pastel blue, turquoise, yellow;
- - acrylic red paint;
- - gold acrylic paint;
- - needle;
- - sponge;
- - scissors;
- - brush;
- - acrylic varnish;
- — mold of orchid petals;
- - instant glue;
- - iron.
We cut out all the details of the orchid from thick paper - there should be three templates. For orientation, a pattern of an orchid is presented on a piece of notebook paper and all dimensions are indicated.
We attach the templates to the foamiran, trace and cut out the details.
We tint the details of the petals with blue and turquoise pastels, starting to make strokes from the center to the edges.
Apply yellow pastel.
We tint the middle with blue and yellow pastels. Paint the cut blue.
We cut out a mini-strip of 0.5x1 cm from bright yellow fom and make a fringe on both sides.
Dipping the tip of the needle into red paint, we draw rays and dots.
Fold the mini-piece in half and glue it in the middle, without touching the fringe.
Let's return to tinting the petals - enhancing the blue color (in the center). Shade the pastel with a sponge.
We tint the back side of all parts in the same way as the front side, but not so brightly.
After heating the petal on the iron, apply it to the mold and press it with your fingers. We repeat this process with all the petals separately. Place the center on the iron. We wait until the part heats up, takes a convex shape and flies away from the iron.
We form a wave at the edges of the petals. We heat a small area and stretch it with our fingers.
Let's go through blue pastels again. By tinting according to the created texture, we prevent paint from penetrating deep into the surface. This way we get a beautiful marble pattern.
Cover with varnish. Apply varnish to the center piece on each side. Let's dry it.
Apply a drop of gold paint to the sponge and blend it along the petals and the middle (on both sides).
We glue the yellow fringe into the part that will be the center of the orchid. Glue the two main parts with the petals (in the middle).
Glue the finished center to the petals.
We pack the gift and decorate it with a delicate orchid flower.
Foamiran orchid in the interior
A phalaenopsis or cymbidium in a glass vase will look very delicate; a white orchid looks especially sophisticated and delicate - such a flower, made of plastic suede, is quite difficult to distinguish from a living plant. A black orchid branch goes best with white and gray shades.
An artificial orchid made from foamiran is suitable for decorating a hair hoop, hairpin or brooch. It can be attached to a wedding boutonniere or added a small branch to a wedding bouquet.
Many people consider the orchid a symbol of beauty, love, tenderness and perfection. A flower created with your own hands can be a kind of talisman for its owner. Today you can cope with such a task without any problems thanks to numerous master classes from professional needlewomen.
Hello dear readers. I already told you that this summer I learned how to make orchids from foamiran. I took a lot of photos. I believe that any novice craftswoman can try to make an orchid if she wishes. I learned how to make orchids this summer. My friend from Crimea, Anya, whom we visit every summer, showed me her foamiran orchids. This is truly a miracle. I liked the orchids so much that I couldn’t resist and asked her to show me a master class on how to make an orchid from foamiran, she happily agreed. I am very grateful to her for this. I also took a photo of her orchids.
True, this is just part of the photo. Orchids look really gorgeous, very natural and beautiful. These orchids can decorate any room.
What a miracle, isn't it? And this is what an orchid looks like in a pot. The orchid is placed in a pot and filled with alabaster.
You can decorate the top with stones or beads. In general, as your imagination allows.
Here is a green orchid, also very beautiful. Foamiran for an orchid can be painted in different colors with acrylic paints, pastels, even shadows and blush... I bought acrylic paints for myself.
The veins on the leaves are made with ordinary colored pencils. But the buds are made from beads; below I will show you how else you can make buds for an orchid.
I also liked the pink orchid, but it was only in the process of being made, so I photographed one flower.
Moreover, Anya told me how to make an orchid from foamiran without mold. To be honest, I looked for the mold, but didn’t find it.
Not every store even sells foamiran, let alone mold. I’ll tell you a secret too))) You can add texture to the petal using a shell. And there are plenty of shells in the sea. Below I will show in more detail how to decorate a petal using a shell.
I won’t bore you with stories for a long time, now I’ll show and tell you, with step-by-step photographs, how I make orchids. Of course, my master class is completely for beginners. Experienced craftswomen make orchids using molds and paint each petal with pastels, which is indistinguishable from a real orchid.
I don’t have much experience, but I will be happy to share my knowledge with you. Perhaps my experience will be useful to someone. I made it earlier, decorated it as a hairpin and gave it to my daughter.
Orchid from foamiran. Master Class. For beginners
We will need:
- Foamiran
- Beads (stamens can be used)
- Tape tape
- Wire
- Foil
- Scissors
- Toothpick
- Acrylic paints and brush
Anya shared the patterns with me, and she printed them from the Internet. You can also print templates from the Internet. I traced the patterns onto cardboard, so it’s easier to work with them.
It is best to trace petal patterns with a toothpick; unlike a pencil, a toothpick does not leave marks on white foamiran.
Cut out the petals with scissors. We need 5 petals of each.
Cut out the center of the orchid. I will make an orchid sprig with 5 flowers. Therefore, I need to cut out 5 centers.
The only downside to making orchids is that you need to have time.
When all the blanks are ready, I start decorating the middle. I will decorate it with acrylic paints. I take a very ordinary brush and paint the edges of the middle with yellow acrylic paint.
And then with a thin brush I put dots of purple acrylic paint along the yellow edge of the middle. I put dots on the white part and draw stripes. Just like in the photo.
This is how I draw on 5 centers. I let them dry well, turn them over and cover the back side of the middle with yellow paint, and also put dots on it.
I did this on a napkin. I tried very hard not to get anything dirty and to do everything neatly.
Orchid made of foamiran without mold. Photo
Now I will show you how to add texture to a petal without mold. My first experience was in Crimea, and it was quite successful; I found even shells.
You can use any shells, as long as they are not small ones. The shell should be large or medium to cover the entire surface of the orchid petal.
We apply each side of the petal to a hot iron, and then to the shell, and so on for all 5 petals of 1 flower. To give each petal texture.
Try to keep the iron warm, not hot.
We do this with all 5 colors. You can make the edge of the orchid petals wavy. To do this, apply the petals to the iron and stretch the edges. But this is optional.
We also apply the centers to the iron and remove them. They curl inward a little.
Now everything is ready and you can start making the orchid itself.
You can use stamens or a piece of ear stick (the part with cotton wool). I use a bead. I bought 5 identical beige beads.
For flowers I will need wire. It can be purchased as a finishing material for handicrafts. It is sold in skeins. I had some wire at home, although it was thin, so I used two pieces of wire.
I thread the bead to the center and twist the wire into a rope.
I already had 28 cm wire cut into pieces. Therefore, when twisted, the length of the wire is 14 cm. And the flower itself is 14 cm.
Now we thread the wire with the bead into the core of the orchid. I pierce the foamiran with the same wire.
We pierce the wire in the middle of the petals.
As a result, we get such a wonderful and delicate orchid. Everything is very simple, it just takes a lot of time to prepare everything, and collecting the orchid is easy.
Now I will show you how to decorate the back side of the orchid. To do this, we will need scraps of rectangular foamiran 1 by 2 cm and green tape.
Tape is most often used by florists. What is it? Tape tape is a durable, elastic tape with an adhesive effect. The store where I bought the tape had green and brown tape. I bought the green one.
What do we need to do? Turn the orchid over. Twist a strip of foamiran 1 by 2 cm in a spiral. You can glue it a little with super glue. Now you can wrap the tape with tape.
In the end, this is what happens. It is clear that we carry out this manipulation with all 5 colors. So, orchids look beautiful and believable from all sides.
We first wrap the tape around the foamiran in a spiral, and then along an oblique line downwards.
Now to create an orchid, so that everything is believable and natural, we need to make orchid buds. And we will get an orchid branch with buds.
How to make buds for an orchid from foamiran
We will need:
- Foil
- Wire
- Glue gun or glue moment
- Foamiran
Making orchid buds is much easier than. But if you decorate a sprig of an orchid, then with buds it will look more luxurious.
I'll tell you how I make buds, you can make buds differently. I tear off small pieces from the foil and make droplets out of them. I take 2 pieces of wire and make a wire cross on the top of the droplet. At the bottom of the droplet I twist the wire with a flagellum.
I cut a square of foamiran 2 by 2 cm. I glue a drop of foil over it. For the petals, I cut pieces of foamiran 1 cm by 1 cm and make a petal. For 1 bud I needed 3 petals.
I glue the petals to the bud, and decorate the stem with tape.
When everything is ready, you can start assembling the orchid, and now I will show you how to assemble an orchid branch from foamiran.
DIY orchid sprig from foamiran
An orchid sprig made from foamiran can be used to decorate the interior and decorated in a pot, filled with plaster and decorated as desired. As I already wrote above.
To make an orchid branch we will need wire. I have a piece of wire 40 cm, but you can take 50 cm.
I twist 2 orchid buds among themselves, one slightly higher, one lower. I screw them to the main wire. I use regular green floral wire.
Then I take the previously prepared flower and wrap it around the main wire. Now we secure everything with tape; it is better to do this along an oblique line.
I continue to attach the flowers to the main wire in a checkerboard pattern. Wrapping a twig with tape. Focus on connecting the orchid to the wire.
This is how we design an orchid sprig. Previously, I already tried to design an orchid branch from foamiran. True, I made orchid flowers from green foamiran.
This is what orchid branches look like. My first work was also done without mold and without shell. I heated each orchid petal and stretched it with my hands, thus giving the petals a “wavy” shape.
These are my orchids. The green one is my first creation, and the white foamiran orchid is my second creation.)))
Such an orchid sprig can beautifully decorate the interior of a room. The orchid looks very beautiful and natural.
Or you can arrange it in a flower pot. The orchid looks beautiful too. A flower pot is worthy of decorating any windowsill. True, if the flowers are exposed to sunlight, the flowers may fade in the sun. This should be taken into account.
In a pot, an orchid looks even more natural, just like a real one. Very beautiful and tender.
Orchids are a symbol of perfection, luxury, beauty, wisdom, love. By creating an orchid from foamiran, you will thereby make yourself a talisman. I hope you understand the master class on creating an orchid with your own hands. A large number of photos will facilitate the process of making an orchid.
You can decorate a bouquet with a sprig of orchid made from foamiran. Make a hairpin out of a flower, or glue it to a headband, make a brooch, or. Or you can decorate it in a flower pot, everything is in your hands.)))
And if you make hair clips and elastic bands, I recommend you make them, it looks very beautiful and gentle.
Write below, do you make flowers from foamiran? Do you like this hobby? Thank you for being with me. I hope that I will delight you with new master classes soon.
