Master class on making a garter for the bride with their own hands with step-by-step instructions and photo
Every wedding is famous for its traditions.Not so long ago, it was introduced into wedding fashion to determine not only the next bride by throwing a festive bouquet, but also to designate the guy to be the groom in the near future. To do this, the newly-made husband removes the bride’s garter and with a slight movement throws it at the gathered bachelors. Of course, the garter should be unusual, as it will remain an ominous souvenir for one of the guests.To make a wedding garter you will need:
First you need to measure the length of the tape forgarters. The edges of the braid need to be connected in the most careful way; stitching with threads will not work here, as the delicate fabric may crawl or worse - the thread breaks at the wrong moment. Therefore, the paradise needs to be soldered with a heated burner. Fold the braid in half, bringing the ends together evenly. On one side, press the edges with a ruler, and on the other – The artificial fabric is melted smoothly with the device, but at the same time press on the ruler.
You should get a smooth seam like this:
Pull the elastic band firmly in both directions to make sure the connection is secure. If the seam is poorly made, then the work needs to be redone.
The next stage – creating a large petal from black ribbon. If you want to do an absolutely delicate job, without adding dark notes, then change the ribbon to white. Measure exactly 12 cm.
Fold a piece of satin in half so that it is smooth.the front side lay out. To create a petal, it is necessary to cut off half of the material along an oblique line, but this action is carried out not from corner to corner, but from the upper corner on the left side to a point at a distance of 3-4 mm from the opposite lower corner.
We don't need the right part, and the left element is a prototype of the petal.
Turn the corner right side out, completely unfolding the entire piece.
At the next stage, we begin to formpetals for the main white flower. As blanks you will need squares of light satin ribbons. The sides of the squares correspond in size to the width of the tapes, that is, there will be five-centimeter blanks and four-centimeter blanks. Each size will require 8 elements.
Bend the large piece at an angle, try to do it as evenly as possible, then the lower edges of the petal will be neat.
Fold the part again, folding along the center line (median of the triangle).
Bend the resulting part exactly in the center of the upper corner, along a line perpendicular to the bottom. It should look like this:
Using a heated burner, you mustdraw a line connecting the middle of the edge of the petal and the base points from where it should “grow” petal. This line in the photo is indicated by a ruler (when burning, the ruler does not stand on the edge, but moves with the petal in the same plane).
Petals of unequal size are formed from blanks of different sizes.
Each petal must be bent so that it takes the shape of a boat.
Larger petals are first fixed with glue onto a round base of small diameter. They should be located symmetrically and should not be connected to each other inside.
Small petals are glued on top of the large ones so that they cover the point of contact of the two lower elements.
The result should be a three-dimensional flower of two tiers.
The middle of the flower must be decorated with a delicate but effective addition, for example, a silver flower with rhinestones.
Turn the work over and glue a loop of tubular delicate tape to the wrong side.
Then create a couple more elements from the rounded ribbon.
On the front part there will be airy openwork loops that make the flower unique.
A long black petal is glued to the back of the flower next to the rounded additional elements.
Apply glue to the inside of the flower and fix the decoration on the garter at the place where it is soldered.
To secure the result, press the flower against the braid with your fingers and hold in this position for about one minute.
Charming garter for the bride, created bywith your own hands, ready! She will decorate the young wife's foot and determine the next hero of the occasion at the wedding. For this ceremony, the groom turns his back to his single friends and throws a delicate garter over his shoulder, whoever catches it – he is the next one to get married.
