In recent years, original flower figures have become very popular; they are often presented to adults and children, ordered as corporate gifts to business partners and managers. Making figures from flowers requires a lot of experience and careful adherence to technology; florists create complex compositions for hours. However, making small animal shapes out of flowers is quite simple.
It is necessary
- - floristic oasis;
- - water;
- - skewers;
- - scotch tape;
- - knife;
- - about 30 chrysanthemum flowers;
- - eyes;
- - pallet or basket.
Instructions
Step 1
Get your materials ready. Take small bush chrysanthemums, you will need about 30 flowers. The color, size and variety of flowers depends on the chosen figure, for example, use white chrysanthemums for a bunny or a swan, and yellow chrysanthemums for a fish and chicken.
Step 2
Take a few bricks of a quality floristic oasis and carve the desired shape out of them. Cut the legs, torso and head separately. Treat the head and muzzle very carefully. Try to make the figurine as similar as possible to the selected animal, because after decorating with flowers, it may lose its expressive features and become more blurred.
Step 3
Immerse the finished parts in water for a few seconds and connect with skewers and tape. Since water can drain from the oasis, place the composition on a tray or in a basket with a bottom. Please note that the figures from the oasis are quite heavy, so you should not make too large and voluminous compositions.
Step 4
Cut the stems of flowers to a length of 10 mm and leave them in water for a while so that they are saturated with water and take on a fresh appearance. Then stick the flowers tightly into the body of the oasis so as to completely close it. Work carefully and carefully, the appearance of the composition will largely depend on this. If possible, decorate the face, palms and soles of the paws, the inner part of the ears with flowers of a different color.
Step 5
Decorate the face with beautiful eyes. It is the eyes that give the animal's figure expressiveness, so buy them in advance in the children's store or make them by hand. If you want to give the animal originality, paint the eyes with paints and paste over with tape. These eyes can be given any shape and expression.
Step 6
Such a figure of flowers will last for at least 10 - 14 days, but if you want to extend its life, then water it every day, while the composition is able to preserve its beauty and freshness for about a month.
