Floristic compositions of fresh flowers can decorate and refresh any celebration, and if earlier the imagination of florists was limited to original bouquets, today you can create the most unusual works - for example, toys from fresh flowers. Such toys will be an excellent decoration for children's parties, weddings and birthdays. Anyone can make them, subject to the availability of suitable materials.
It is necessary
- - sketch of the toy,
- - floral sponge,
- - accessories for creating an image (buttons, hairpins, sequins, etc.),
- - knife,
- - wooden sticks,
- - glue,
- - a basin with water,
- - flowers.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare a sketch of a toy of simple outlines, a certain amount of a floral sponge, eyes and other accessories for the toy, a knife, and of course, the flowers themselves. To get started, sketch out a sketch of the future sculpture on paper, or try to focus on a real plush toy in order to maintain proportions in creating a figure from flowers.
Step 2
Cut out the volumetric shape of the future toy with a knife from a floral sponge. First, give it the basic outlines, and then cut through the finer details. For convenience, cut out the torso of the toy separately, separately - the legs and head. Connect the parts together with wooden sticks dipped in glue.
Step 3
Pour water into a basin or other container and place a sponge blank into it. Wait until the sponge is completely saturated and remove it from the water. When the water stops flowing, start decorating the base for the toy with flowers. Match flowers of different colors, larger and smaller, to form different parts of the toy's body.
Step 4
Use small flowers and unopened buds for the muzzle of toys and other small parts. Cut the flower heads obliquely, leaving a stem at least 2 cm long. Gently insert the flowers into the sponge, using all your imagination to create a flower arrangement.
Step 5
When the toy is covered with flowers, attach eyes, nose and similar accessories to it, and be sure to instruct those you give the toy to how to care for it so that the flower sculpture will please the owner for at least two weeks.
Step 6
Water your sculpture daily by placing it in any airtight container that can drain water. Remove the flower from the crown of the figure and pour water into it in a thin stream. Then, when you notice that the liquid begins to seep through the bottom of the sculpture and out into the container, place the flower back in place.
Step 7
Water small and separate parts of the toy separately using a syringe without a needle filled with water.
