Instructions
Step 1
For a fur flower, regardless of how it will be attached, a base is required. Find a suitable picture. If you are unsure of your artistic ability, print it with a pre-sized fit. In this case, it does not matter at all whether the picture will be in color or in black and white. It is necessary that the petals of the flower are the same in size. An apple flower or a field carnation works best. Transfer the contours to cardboard or paraplen.
Step 2
It is better to choose thin, but tough cardboard for the base. Cut the flower out. If you want to flatten it, you don't need to do anything else with the cardboard. Transfer the pattern to the wrong part of the fur. The most convenient way to do this is with a ballpoint pen. Cut the flower along the contour with short scissors, you can even use well-sharpened manicure ones.
Step 3
If you want the flower to have some volume, draw a middle line on each petal from the edge to the middle. Cut the petals along these lines to about the middle and make something like undercuts. They can be sewn with strong cotton thread or glued together. For strength, you can sew, and then anoint the seams with glue. In this case, cut the fur petals exactly to the size of the pattern. The excess can then be cut off.
Step 4
Spread glue on the wrong side of the fur, attach the blank to the cardboard base and press down. Wait for your flower to dry. The middle can be made from leather or other fur. It is better to cut the pile on an already existing workpiece almost to the base. Cut out a circle of the right size from a suitable material and glue it in the center of the flower.
Step 5
The base can also be made of paraplen. Transfer the drawing to it and cut out the workpiece. It's pretty thick stuff. At the same time, the paraplen is easily cut in all directions, so the undercut can be omitted. Draw the inner contours of the petals slightly closer to their centers. Make oblique cuts along the contours of the petals from top to bottom. The knife must be very sharp. It's okay if small irregularities remain. Glue the fur blank onto the paraplen, carefully smoothing and pressing the edges of the petals. Do the middle in the same way as in the first case.
Step 6
Leaves can be made from leather. Cut out the blanks. To make the petals bulging, you can warm them up a little. Put them in a skillet and put them on low heat. The pan must be perfectly clean. Be careful that the leaves only slightly change shape. They should not be allowed to shrink. Glue them with the same glue to the back of the cardboard or paraplen.
Step 7
If you want to make a brooch, you can slightly change the order of work. First, glue the leaves on the base so that between the flower petals, and only then the fur blank. Decorate the flower. Attach a small safety pin to the back of the brooch. It can be greased with glue, pressed to the base, and glued on top with a thin piece of paraplen.
