Astra from foamiran in 15 steps

Total Time: 35 minutes

  1. Prepare the strips
    Yellow and Purple Stripes

    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.

  2. 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.

  3. Use a metal part
    Yellow Stripe and Wire

    Take a floral wire, twist it and glue it to the edge of the yellow strip.

  4. Use the glue
    Twisting the Yellow Stripe

    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.

  5. Twist the strip

    You should get an yellow center of the flower, as in the photo.

  6. Glue the lilac stripe
