How to Make a Beautiful Peony Flower from a Fabric with Your Own Hands

Everyone is familiar with the wonderful garden flower thatis called a peony. It pleases everyone with its bloom from spring until late autumn. Its bud is impossible not to notice - it is lush, bright and exudes a unique aroma. It has long been believed that the peony has magical properties: it drives away evil spirits and brings health. Currently, the medicinal properties of some types of peonies are known, used in pharmaceuticals. Knowing about its properties, I would like to wear this wonderful flower as a talisman, but since a living plant will quickly wither, let's try to make a peony from fabric. For this we will need:

  • A small candle (as for aromalamps);
  • the fabric itself - it can be satin or chiffon of the color you like (often delicate shades), but containing 100% polyester;
  • double sided tape;
  • yellow threads of a floss and scissors.

So, let's begin! 1.First, you need to cut out 5 circles from the fabric. The diameter of 4 circles is chosen at will (optimal 8-10 centimeters), but the fifth circle needs to be made a little smaller. It is not necessary to make a perfectly even contour of the circle.How to make a bright peony from the fabric with your own hands.

When the edges are evenly bent, you can start the next circle. It is important to remember that chiffon and satin melt very easily, so you need to carefully singe the edges.3. Next, we cut the finished melted circles on 4 perpendicular sides to give them the appearance of a petal.4.The places where the cuts are made also need to be held over the flame for a while, spreading the cut area. 5. To give the flower more splendor, make four more cuts on 2 petals and melt their edges in the same way. 6. The petals are ready, let's move on to the middle. For this, you will need yellow floss threads. Wind them around two fingers, making 6-8 turns, and without removing them, tie the turns between your fingers.7.After removing from the fingers, cut the coils along the edges and get something like a bow. Straighten all the threads and get the middle of the peony. You can also use large beads or pearl beads instead of the middle.8. We have already prepared the individual parts of the flower.Let's start assembling it. Take the 2 largest circles, cut into 4 parts and glue them together. They will be the base of the flower. Then glue the smaller blanks, cut into 8 parts, together and glue them to the lower layers.9.Sew beads or a yellow core of the flower into the middle, sewing all the layers of our peony together. For this, it is better to use the same threads as for the core of the flower. After that, you can straighten all the petals, giving them uniform splendor. The peony is ready! You can use it by attaching it to clothes with a pin, decorating a set table, sticking it with double-sided tape in a car or any other place.
