Materials and tools
To create a bouquet of soft toys, prepare the following items in advance:
Video instruction
Let's start creating a bouquet with what we doa cardboard cone, the size of which will correspond to the diameter of the desired gift. A thick cardboard sleeve is glued to the bottom of the cone, that is, to its sharp side. It is important that there is a small gap in the corner of the cone, where the protruding parts of the bouquet (spokes from jewelry, etc.) will slide. Wrap a large square sheet of organza around the base of the bouquet so that a platform of material is formed in the middle of the cone. If the organza is very thin and transparent, then you can use it in several layers. Press the central part of this platform slightly into the center so that you can conveniently attach the toys there, placing them on the sides. Place the bears along the edge of the bouquet, first lay them out without glue to determine their symmetrical and harmonious arrangement. Mark the selected places with a pen or marker.
Apply glue to the back of the bear and immediatelyPress the toy to the designated place. Press the bear lightly so that the glue soaks the organza and is fixed on the bottom layer of cardboard. Do the same with all the animals, placing them according to the designated position.
Now we start fixing the elements that will be located between the soft parts. If they are attached with long needles, try to stick the needles into the handle bushing.
The middle of the bouquet needs to be decorated with someharmonious elements, such as cherries or hearts. If you are making a bouquet with bunnies, a fleece carrot will be perfect. You can glue a mountain of multi-colored rhinestones in the center of the bouquet or create a scattering of pearls.
The bottom of the sleeve can be cut off beforesize, so that it is comfortable to hold the bouquet in your hand and it maintains symmetry when stored in a vase. But the lower tier of the organza "skirt" should cover the entire part of the bouquet handle and make it invisible.
Where the cone of the gift base meetswith a handle, create a garter from smooth tape, which is used in forming flower bouquets. First, wrap a thin ribbon in two or three turns and leave long ends.
To give the ends of the braid the appearance of curls,you need to wind it around the tip of scissors or a knife. This is done quite simply, first you press the tape to the tip of the blade, and sharply move the knife down and then the tape will start to spin in a spiral.
The second fabric needs to be cut into a square,the size of the sides, which are approximately 6-7 cm. Staple the folds of these parts in the central part. Decorate the bouquet with such voluminous episodes in a circle from the outside. Try to place these parts close to the edge and relative to each other, and then you will get an openwork, pretty rim on the bouquet.
Amazing bouquet for a little girl's birthdaygirls are ready. Not only a child but also an adult lady will be happy with such a gift. Depending on the colors and toy options you choose, you can give a bouquet to anyone. With such a gift you will both please and surprise the hero of the occasion.
