Flowers have been and remain a traditional gift for any occasion. But presenting just a bouquet today already seems too commonplace, therefore, figures from flowers are becoming more and more popular. If you have some knowledge in the art of creating bouquets, then it will be easy for you to make an unusual gift for your loved ones with your own hands.
It is necessary
- - Floristic oasis;
- - soft toy;
- - glue gun;
- - flowers;
- - water;
- - toothpicks;
- - buttons or blanks for the peephole.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, choose what technology you will use to make a figurine out of flowers: using glue and a ready-made toy, or by cutting out the base from a flower oasis (a special light absorbent material).
Step 2
If you decide to cover the finished toy with flowers, then you will need a base toy, a glue gun, glue, flowers, as well as several wooden sticks, which will serve as a rigid frame for the soft toy so that it holds its shape better and is more stable.
Step 3
Make a frame of wooden sticks, that is, attach them to the back of, say, a teddy bear.
Step 4
After that, cut the stems of the flowers prepared for the gift. Using a glue gun, attach the buds to the toy so that its surface is completely covered with flowers. Do this very carefully so that the material or fur is not visible due to the petals. The big disadvantage of such a gift is that the flowers fade very quickly.
Step 5
Flowers will remain fresh for a long time if you take a floral oasis as the basis for your toy. From it with a sharp knife, cut out the details of the figure separately. Start with the torso. Then make the head and legs. Make all the details in the form of separate balls, rectangles and ovals. Work out the outlines of the muzzle especially carefully.
Step 6
Immerse the parts in a container of water for a few seconds, then assemble the figurine using wooden skewers or toothpicks as an attachment. Simply place the parts on them so that the sticks do not pierce them through. Place the toy on a stand or baking sheet with water and start setting the colors.
Step 7
Before placing the flowers in the oasis, put the flowers in water for several hours. After that, cut the stems short so that the tips remain about one centimeter long.
Step 8
Make the head for the toy out of plasticine, cover it after sculpting with PVA glue, sprinkle with sand, and then with sparkles and beads.
Step 9
Make eyes with special buttons that you can buy at sewing supply stores.
