Master-class on creating flowers from satin ribbons in Kansas technique
Charming flowers that will decorate a dress orhairstyle can be created from simple material – satin ribbons. Hand-made flowers will be useful for girls on a holiday; they easily cling to the hair, are attached to a headband, or can be used to decorate a belt. Snow-white flowers will add tenderness and romance to the image of any lady.
Flowers can be created from petals,then the accessories will be more voluminous and lush. The color of the base can be any, for example, green to match the natural leaves. In this option, the gray base of the flowers matches the tone of the chosen dress. To work you will need:
For the base you will need 16 cm cuts.Cut them from the ribbon in any color. In this craft, the base leaves and flower petals are created using the same technique, but due to the difference in width and length, the elements look different.
Large petals are formed as follows:find the middle of the cut (to do this, first bend the tape, connecting its ends), pinch the middle with your finger and bend the product at an angle of 45 degrees, but strictly in the center.
Now mark the middle of the bend and from thispoints, bend the workpiece again so that the front side of the satin lies on one side and a double petal is formed. The top of the piece will have a triangular point, similar to some garden flowers.
Such a flat shape does not occur in nature,After all, the petals must have bends and veins, so the detail needs to be refined. The curves at its base will help give the petal a more original three-dimensional shape. First, make a fold on one side, incorporating part of the base into it; a similar wave is also created on the other edge. Both bends should “look” on top of each other and be symmetrical.
Create four large identical elementsfor the base of one product. Glue these four parts in the form of the letter “X” onto a round blank with a diameter of 3 cm to make something like a bow. You need to cut blanks 8 cm long from white tape. Each element must be bent in the central place at an angle of 45 degrees. With this fold, one end of the ribbon will be turned towards us with the satin side, and the other with the wrong side.
Now bring the edge that is bent toside, towards the base of the part. During this manipulation, the part in the upper part is bent in the middle of the previous crease and the ends of the ribbons lie with the satin side up.
At the base of the formed part it is requiredcreate bends with which the middle of the petal will deepen a little and take on a more natural shape. To do this, simply bend the right side of the base of the element with a wave and bend the left side of the petal in the same way.
Create several identical snow-white elements from thin ribbon. The number of parts for one flower varies between 15,020 pieces.
The next step is to start assemblingflower. Take the prepared base with large petal-shaped parts and fix the small elements in the center of the work using liquid hot glue. Each petal is glued close to the previous one so that there is no gap between them.
The petals are glued in three tiers, if the firstlayer — This is an arbitrary ring with pressed petals, then the second level is created at the joints of the bottom row. The petals of the second tier also form a circle, but with a slightly smaller diameter. Since the elements are shifted slightly to the center.
The third tier is created from 4-5 petals, which are pressed very tightly both along the edges and in the center, so that there is no gap left, and the flower seems lush, stuffed, multi-tiered.
Bend the finished centers in half so that theyacquired the appearance of inflorescence stamens. If you don’t have similar parts, you will need 5-6 cm pieces of fishing line, dip the edge of each part in hot-melt adhesive and immediately attach a small bead or large beads. By gluing a bead to each end of the fishing line, you will get a beautiful imitation of the flower center.
Moisten the folds of the stamens generously with glue andimmediately press it to the middle of the flower. The petals of the third layer are raised and fixed to the stamens; to do this, they need to be pressed tightly in the upward direction.
Hairpins oran elastic band. With the right outfit, this flower can decorate a headband (it is advisable to fix it with hot glue). If you are going to decorate a dress with such flowers, then simply sew them with threads to the intended place.
A charming flower is ready to decorate the hair or outfit of a little princess or an adult girl. Rhinestones glued to the lower petals will add brightness and originality to the product.
