Astra from foamiran in 15 steps
Total Time: 35 minutes
-
Prepare the strips
Make preparations for the future Aster. To do this, cut a strip 30 cm long and 5 cm wide from the lilac foamiran. For the middle of the flower, cut a narrow yellow strip 1 cm wide and about 20 cm long.
-
Work with the yellow stripe
Start forming the middle of the Aster. Make frequent cuts on the yellow blank with scissors. The cuts should not reach the opposite edge.
-
Use a metal part
Take a floral wire, twist it and glue it to the edge of the yellow strip.
-
Use the glue
Twist the yellow blank, periodically fixing it with hot glue. In this case, the incisions should be turned up, they will be the stamens of the flower.
-
Twist the strip
You should get an yellow center of the flower, as in the photo.
-
Glue the lilac stripe
Take the lilac strip of foamiran to make the aster petals. Fold the edges of the strip in half and glue them together.
-
Finish gluing the lilac stripe
You should get a strip glued on one side.
-
Cut the lilac stripe
Use scissors to make incisions on the side of the fold, not reaching the glued side.
-
Process the strip completely
Make these cuts along the entire lilac stripe.
-
Cut along the fold
Cut a line along the entire length of the lilac strip at the bend point with scissors. You will get a narrow blank for the petals of the Aster.
-
Connect the yellow and lilac foamiran together
Apply the yellow center to the edge of the lilac strip and fix it with hot glue.
-
Fix it with glue
Continue to twist the lilac petals on the yellow blank. Periodically fix some places with hot glue.
-
Spread the flower
This is easier to do if you turn it over, then the petals should spread out to the sides.
-
Get an aster with straight petals
The flower should look like this from the front side, as shown in the photo.
-
Make the petals wavy
Use an iron to make the flower more realistic. Apply your flower to a preheated iron for a few seconds. If necessary, form the petals. Cut the extra floral wire from the back of the flower. You should get a similar Aster from foamiran.
This flower can be the basis for creating a cute jewelry or unique decor.
