Materials and tools

Each leaf of a water lily flower has a characteristica type of petal with a triangle at the end, and the inflorescence consists of several layers. To create such a petal does not require much effort and skill, but you need to stock up on the following material:

  • Satin ribbon width of 4 cm. Its color can be gray, black, pink, etc. The elements of this color form the bottom of the product, so be guided by your taste, the color scheme of your wardrobe or choose a palette in tone to the school uniform.
  • A thinner satin ribbon - 2.5 cm. Its color is snow-white. You will need quite a lot of this tape, because each petal requires 8 cm.
  • Hot glue.
  • A soldering iron or a lighter. If you stop the selection on the lighter, you will need a metal tweezer, and when working with the burner, in addition you need a line of iron and glass.
  • Elastic bands or hairpins.
  • Medium size rhinestones.
  • Middle for inflorescence in the form of artificial stamens.

    Stages of work

    First you need to create the large bottom elementsfrom a 4 cm ribbon, the upper petals are made using a similar principle, but it is always easier to learn how to make new parts on larger sizes. Take a piece of gray ribbon (or another color) in 10, the width of which is 4 cm. Fold this flap in the center at an angle so that the product takes the shape of a right angle, or rather the ends of the cut should be combined at 90 degrees.A lesson on making a flower in Kansas technique for beginners. Picture №3Fold the piece again so that the part of the element,which is bent to the right side, lies down to the first edge. Both sides of the cut should be satin side up and you get a piece with a sharp end in the center.A lesson on making a flower in Kansas technique for beginners. Photo №4To give the detail the appearance of a water lily petal,you will need to create longitudinal veins. You can create such bends using a couple of folds at the base of the element. Each bend should be of a minimum size and shift from the center to the side. So the bend on the right and left sides forms a wave from the center to the edge, so they are like mirror images of each other.A lesson on making a flower in Kansas technique for beginners. Photo №5Save the newly created part shapewill allow soldering with a hot burner (or soldering iron). To do this, apply the part to a surface that will not melt (for example, glass), press the bottom of the part with a ruler and draw a line with a burner. The cut should be 1-2 mm of the base, at this point the two ends of the tape will be soldered and the element will take its final shape.A lesson on making a flower in Kansas technique for beginners. Photo №6Take a round piece for the base of the flower. In this example, the petals are glued to this round piece and do not cling to each other, but they need to be placed as tightly as possible.A lesson on making a flower in Kansas technique for beginners. Photo №7Create the first tier of the piece from approximately seven identical steel-colored elements. These petals are the largest, the remaining pieces will lushly fill the center of the piece.A lesson on making a flower in Kansas technique for beginners. Photo №8From a thinner tape, that is, the width of which– 2.5 cm, it is necessary to create similar petals. Each blank of white satin should be 9 cm long. Bend the cut in the center, only the fold line is formed in an oblique direction, and spreads the ends of the tape in different directions.A lesson on making a flower in Kansas technique for beginners.

It is very important that the satin "looks" upward at both cuts.A lesson on making a flower in Kansas technique for beginners. Picture №10The lower edge of the piece acquires veinsthanks to two uniform bends. To solder the base, you need to press the parts and cut off 1-2 mm with a soldering iron, or you can clamp the base with tweezers and burn the edges of the part with a flame from a lighter.A lesson on making a flower in Kansas technique for beginners. Photo Number 11Glue the resulting parts between the grey elements, that is, the second tier hides the gaps in the first layer of petals.A lesson on making a flower in Kansas technique for beginners. Photo number 12Then, the attachment points of the elements are shifteda little in the center, so the third circle of white parts is formed. The last circle of white blanks is glued to the very center so that one edge of the part lies on the edge of the previous petal and the petals tightly cover the middle of the product. Stamens are glued into the central part of the flower. At the last stage, we begin to decorate the flower, that is, bright rhinestones are fixed in the center of the lower petals. One rhinestone is enough for each element.A lesson on making a flower in Kansas technique for beginners.

Such a beautiful flower can be created with her own hands by a craftswoman without experience, since the folds in these petals are not at all difficult. Jewelry created with your own hands is doubly pleasant to wear, since each element retains the memory of your hands. Lush flowers will decorate any hairstyle!
