Stages of work
The first step is to prepare the headband.It is better to wrap it with a thin braid, then the headband will acquire a snow-white look, and will not stand out from under the huge decoration of white ribbons of different textures. The winding rounds should be tightly fixed to each other, so carefully pull the tape. To prevent the ribbon from unraveling from the headband, it must be fixed with glue every 3-4 cm. To do this, apply a drop of glue to the back side and immediately press it to the headband, wait a little - until the adhesive mass hardens. Be careful when working with hot glue, it is quite hot and can leave burns on your fingers. The decoration on the headband is created in two stages. First, you need to make a base of long thin petals, which will determine the volume and originality of the work. Then curved petals are created for the central neat flower. For the flower you will need square blanks, their size is similar to the width of the tape, i.e. 4 by 4 cm. The number of white elements is 13, and prepare 5 silver squares.
Each prepared element is folded along an oblique line to form a right triangle.
Then a blank made of satin or silver brocadeIt is necessary to bend it in the middle, or more precisely along the median line of this triangle, to form a new triangular figure, but already in four layers.
We visually mark the central line of the workpiece, which will divide the right angle in half, and press this place with our fingernail to help form a sharp angle at the top when bending the part.
Thus, a sharp petal is born, but itneed to be fixed. In order for the petal to take its final shape, it is necessary to scorch its lower part with a very hot burner. To do this, press the bottom of the part with a ruler (the petal is on its side), and with one confident movement draw a line along the ruler, while the burner is pressed into the material. The element should have a straight line at the bottom.
Then you should bend the petal so that it looks like a boat. This shape of the element will provide an unusual look of the flower.
It is from this shape of petals that the flower is formedthe central flower of the product. For the edges, you need other long petals from a narrow ribbon, which is divided into pieces of 8 cm. Fold the piece of ribbon with the smooth side outward and clamp one edge with a ruler at an angle of 45 degrees.
Use a burner to cut off the edge of the part to form a sharp corner. When burning, it is necessary to solder the edges, so press the part firmly against the glass with a ruler.
Straighten the piece so that the satin side is facing outremained on the back side of the petal. At the bottom of the part, you need to create two symmetrical folds, each very small - about 1 mm. Then clamp the base of the part and cut off a line on it, approximately 1 mm from the edge.
From a 5 cm wide organza ribbon you will need several large petals, they are made like the first sharp elements, but at the same time they do not bend in the other direction.
Take a small circle of satin ribbon(approximately 3 cm), glue the first row of curved white petals onto it, then lay a row of silver parts, the middle is formed by five snow-white elements. To hide the joints between the petals in the center, you need to glue a small rhinestone or a shiny flower.
For another satin circle with a diameter of 5 cm you needglue long petals, they will form the basis of the composition. These details can be created not only from satin, but also from pieces of organza. A flower made of curved petals is glued to the center of the lush base.
Fix the resulting decoration on the sideparts of the headband. To place the flower correctly, you need to try it on beforehand without glue and choose a harmonious arrangement in accordance with your face shape. Mark a convenient place, and only then glue the flower to it.
This charming, lush flower can be worn for festive events or on weekdays when you are in a great mood!
