Orchid with your own hands from fabric. Orchid from foamiran master class with a step by step photo. How to make buds for an orchid from foamiran

A lot of beautiful flowers can be made with your own hands from various materials. It can be plastic bottles, leather, foamiran, satin ribbon, etc. From any material, flowers are very beautiful and unusual. In addition, they will serve you for a very long time and will delight you with their beauty. Today we will consider two interesting master classes on making foamiran orchids. The author of this master class is Irina Zvereva. Look at what a beautiful orchid Irina made with her own hands and shared with us the manufacturing process. Also, if you want to learn how to make an orchid from a satin ribbon, you can see a master class on how to make it.

To make an orchid you will need:
* Foamiran of the desired color.
* Orchid petal patterns.
* Dry pastel.
* Scissors.
* Iron.
* Cotton swab.
* Thermal gun.

How to make an orchid with your own hands:
To make an orchid, we need templates. These are the templates we will use with you in the process. We draw patterns on paper or thick cardboard and use them to apply patterns to foamiran. Foamirn by color, choose which one you like best. Then we cut out our blanks. Photos of templates can be both reduced and enlarged, it depends on what size you need a flower.

The edges of the petals are carefully applied to a hot iron and with the help of fingers we stretch them a little. So we process two details. You should get a slight waviness of the petals.

We wrap the top of the stick with foamiran and then divide it in the middle so that we have a line.

The photo shows what the middle of the cotton swab should turn out to be. Next, we begin to collect our flower. First, glue the tinted petal around the middle.

Then glue the next double petal.

We have three more petals left. First, glue one petal on top, and then two on the bottom. You should get an orchid like in the photo.

Look at what beautiful orchids Irina got.

You can make beautiful decorations from ready-made orchids or simply use them for interior decoration.

We thank Irina for a fascinating master class on making orchids with our own hands from foamiran.

Master class - do-it-yourself orchid

To make an orchid, we need:

  • Foamiran of the desired color.
  • Thermal gun.
  • Moldy.
  • Pastels in desired colors.
  • Tassel.
  • Hair spray.

How to make an orchid from foamiran:

To make a flower, we need patterns, we draw orchid petals on a leaf. To make one flower, we need 6 petals.

We will also need these molds to make an orchid.

Cut out the desired number of petals.

We heat them on the iron and immediately, until the petal has cooled down, with the help of mold we give the texture to the petals.

We heat the core and give it this shape.

Here are the finished petals for making an orchid.

We trim the petals a little, but this is optional. Olga seems to be prettier this way.

These are the petals we should get for the orchid.

Choose the shades you want and tint the base and edges of the petals.

This is how it should work! At the end of the work, we fix the pastel with hairspray so that it does not crumble and does not get dirty! Also, after processing with varnish, the colors will become a little brighter and more saturated!

We use decorative wire for ease of assembly. Then we remove it.

Here is such a petal for making an orchid should work.

Then glue the two petals together.

Then three petals together.

Now we glue the fourth petal, it does not need to be glued at the base.

Opposite it, we glue the fifth last petal.

In the middle of the flower we glue the middle and that's what we get.

We take a thin brush and with the help of it and acrylic paint we decorate the core of the flower.

Do-it-yourself orchid from foamiran is ready.

You can make many beautiful orchids that can decorate your interior or decorate your hair.

Olga made a beautiful panel of orchids and roses with her own hands.

I also suggest that you listen to two more videos of a master class on making an orchid from foamiran.

Hello dear readers. I already told you that this summer I learned how to make foamiran orchids. I took a lot of photos. I believe that any novice craftswoman can try to make an orchid, if there is a desire. I learned how to make orchids this summer. My friend from the Crimea, Anya, with whom we visit every summer, showed me her foamiran orchids. This is truly a miracle. I liked the orchids so much that I could not resist, and asked her to show me a master class on how to make an orchid from foamiran, she happily agreed. I am very grateful to her for this. I also took a photo of her orchids.

True, this is just part of the photo. Orchids look really chic, very natural and beautiful. Such orchids can decorate any room.

What a miracle, isn't it? And here is what an orchid looks like in a pot. The orchid is placed in a pot and filled with alabaster.

Top can be decorated with pebbles or beads. In general, as your imagination allows.

Here is a green orchid, also very beautiful. Foamiran for orchids can be painted in different colors with acrylic paints, pastels, even shadows and blush ... I bought myself acrylic paints.

The veins of the leaves are made with ordinary colored pencils. But the buds are made of beads, a little lower I will show you how else you can make buds for an orchid.

I also liked the pink orchid, but it was only in the process of being made, so I photographed one flower.

Moreover, Anya told me how to make an orchid from foamiran without mold. To be honest, I was looking for a mold, but I did not find it.

In our store, not even foamiran is sold, not to mention mold. I will tell you a secret too))) You can give the texture of the petal with the help of shells. And there are enough shells in the sea. A little lower I will show in more detail how to arrange a petal using a shell.

I won’t bore you with stories for a long time, now I’ll show and tell you, with step-by-step photographs, how I make orchids. Of course, my master class, that's it, for beginners. Experienced craftswomen make orchids using mold, paint each petal with pastel, which is indistinguishable from a real orchid.

I don't have much experience, but I'm happy to share my knowledge with you. Perhaps someone will benefit from my experience. Previously, I did, designed it for a hairpin and gave it to my daughter.

Orchid from foamiran. Master Class. For beginners

We will need:

  • Foamiran
  • Beads (you can use stamens)
  • Tape tape
  • Wire
  • Foil
  • Scissors
  • Toothpick
  • Acrylic paints and brush

Anya shared the patterns with me, and she printed them from the Internet. You can also print templates from the internet. I circled the patterns on cardboard, so it is more convenient to work with them.

It is best to circle the petal patterns with a toothpick; unlike a pencil, a toothpick does not leave marks on white foamiran.

Cut out the petals with scissors. We need 5 petals of each.

Cut out the center of the orchid. I will make an orchid sprig with 5 flowers. Therefore, I need to cut 5 midpoints.

The only negative in the manufacture of orchids - you need to have time.

When all the blanks are ready, I proceed to the design of the middle. I will decorate it with acrylic paints. The trouble is the most ordinary brush and paint with yellow acrylic paint the edges of the middle.

And then with a thin brush I put dots with purple acrylic paint along the yellow edge of the middle. I put dots on the white part and draw stripes. So, as in the photo.

So I draw on 5 midpoints. I let them dry well, turn them over and cover the back of the middle with yellow paint, and also put dots on it.

I did it on a napkin. I tried very hard not to stain anything and to do everything neatly.

Orchid from foamiran without mold. A photo

Now I'll show you how to texture the petal without mold. My first experience was in the Crimea, and quite successful, I found even shells.

You can use any shells, the main thing is not small ones. The shell should be large or medium to cover the entire surface of the orchid petal.

We apply each side of the petal to a hot iron, and then to the shell, and so on all 5 petals of 1 flower. To give each petal texture.

Try to keep the iron warm, not hot.

Thus we do with all 5 colors. You can make the edge of the orchid petals wavy. To do this, we apply the petals to the iron and stretch the edges. But this is optional.

We also apply the middle to the iron and remove. They curl inwards a little.

Now everything is ready and you can start making the orchid itself.

You can use stamens or a piece of an ear stick (the part with cotton wool). I am using a bead. I bought 5 identical beige beads.

For flowers, I need wire. It can be bought at a handicraft shop. It is sold in skeins. I had wire at home, really thin, so I used two pieces of wire.

I thread the bead to the center and twist the wire with a flagellum.

I already had a 28 cm wire cut. Therefore, in a twisted form, the length of the wire is 14 cm. And the flower itself is 14 cm.

Now we pass the wire with a bead into the core of the orchid. I pierce foamiran with the same wire.

We pierce the wire in the middle of the petals.

As a result, we get such a wonderful and delicate orchid. Everything is very simple, only it takes a lot of time to prepare everything, and it is easy to collect an orchid.

Now I will show you how to decorate the back side of the orchid. To do this, we need rectangular foamiran trimmings 1 by 2 cm and a green teip tape.

Tape tape is most often used by florists. What is it? Tape is a strong, elastic tape with an adhesive effect. The store where I bought the tape had green and brown tape. I bought green.

What do we need to do? Flip the orchid. Spin a strip of foamiran 1 by 2 cm in a spiral. You can glue it a little with super glue. Now you can wrap the teip with tape.

In the end, here's what happens. It is clear that we carry out such a manipulation with all 5 colors. So, orchids from all sides look beautiful and believable.

Tape tape first wrap the foamiran in a spiral, and then down an oblique line.

Now to create an orchid, so that everything is believable and natural, we need to make orchid buds. And we get a branch of an orchid with buds.

How to make buds for an orchid from foamiran

We will need:

  • Foil
  • Wire
  • Glue gun or glue moment
  • Foamiran

Orchid buds are much easier to make than. But if you make out a branch of an orchid, then with buds it will look more chic.

I will tell you how I make buds, you can make buds differently. From the foil, I tear off small pieces and make droplets out of them. I take 2 pieces of wire and make a wire cross on the top of the droplet. At the bottom of the droplets I twist the wire with a flagellum.

I cut off a square of foamiran 2 by 2 cm. I glue a drop of foil. For petals, I cut off pieces of foamiran 1 cm by 1 cm and make a petal. For 1 bud I needed 3 petals.

I glue the petals to the bud, I decorate the stalk with teip tape.

When everything is ready, you can start assembling the orchid, and now I will show you how to assemble a sprig of orchid from foamiran.

Do-it-yourself orchid sprig from foamiran

A sprig of foamiran orchid can be used to decorate the interior and place it in a pot, fill it with plaster and decorate it as you wish. As I wrote above.

To make an orchid branch, we need wire. I have a piece of wire 40 cm, but you can take 50 cm.

I twist 2 orchid buds together, one a little higher, one lower. I screw them to the main wire. I have a regular floral green wire.

Then I take the previously prepared flower and wrap it around the main wire. Now we fix everything with a tape, it is better to do it along an oblique line.

I continue to attach the flowers to the main wire in a checkerboard pattern. Wrapping a branch of teip with tape. Focus on connecting the orchid with the wire.

Thus, we make out a branch of an orchid. Earlier, I already tried to arrange a sprig of foamiran orchid. True, I made orchid flowers from green foamiran.

This is what orchid branches look like. My first work was also made without mold and shell. I heated each orchid petal and stretched it with my hands, thus giving the petals a "wavy" shape.

These are my orchids. The green one is my first creation, and the white foamiran orchid is my second creation.)))

Such a sprig of orchids can beautifully decorate the interior of the room. The orchid looks very beautiful and natural.

And you can arrange it in a flower pot. The orchid looks beautiful too. A flower pot is a worthy addition to any window sill. True, if the sun's rays fall on the flowers, the flowers can burn out in the sun. This should be taken into account.

In a pot, the orchid looks even more natural, just like a real one. Very beautiful and delicate.

Orchids are a symbol of perfection, luxury, beauty, wisdom, love. By creating an orchid from foamiran, you thereby make yourself a talisman. I hope you understand the master class on creating an orchid with your own hands. A large number of photos will facilitate the process of making an orchid.

A sprig of foamiran orchid can decorate a bouquet. Make a hairpin out of a flower, or glue it on a headband, make a brooch, or. And you can arrange it in a flower pot, everything is in your hands.)))

And if you make hairpins and elastic bands for your hair, I recommend that you do it, it looks very beautiful and gentle.

Write below, do you make flowers from foamiran? Do you like this hobby? Thank you for being with me. I hope that soon I will please you with new master classes.

Orchid is a beautiful exotic flower, which is used to decorate modern interiors. Caring for orchids is quite difficult, so we will make this exotic flower from foamiran. Foamiran flowers look beautiful and do not require any care. Any orchid can be made from foamiran. I will tell you how to make a white orchid, phalaenopsis orchid, cymbidium orchid and other types of these flowers.

White foamiran orchid, master class with step by step photo

When it comes to white orchids, the phalaenopsis variety is most often meant. In the photo you will see what kind of orchid we should end up with.

Photo of a white orchid from foamiran

To create an orchid from white foamiran, you will need:

  • foamiran white;
  • yellow, lilac oil pastels, as well as a sponge for applying and shading;
  • phalaenopsis orchid mold and cattleya mold;
  • iron;
  • glue second;
  • scissors;
  • cotton swab.

Pattern for a white orchid


The pattern was developed by the foamiran master Elena Semanova. For one flower, we need only three parts.

We cut out all the details one by one from white foamiran.

Assembling a white orchid flower

We begin processing orchid petals. We heat the three-petal circle on the iron one petal at a time separately at a wool-silk temperature and squeeze it on the Cattleya mold.

We also heat the double petal on the iron one petal at a time and squeeze it in turn on the Phalaenopsis orchid mold.

Before we process the tongue of the orchid, we will tint it with oil pastel. We apply tinting on both sides. We tint the tail with lilac, the head is yellow, we tint the wings along the edges with lilac, and we put red dots on the middle.

Then we begin processing on the iron at a silk-wool temperature. We apply all the details in turn with the front side, so that they are slightly bent. Tail, head, wings. Then we collect them all together up and warm the base and process with a bulk on a sponge.

One of the luxurious and majestic flowers, of course, is the orchid. The beauty of this flower does not leave anyone indifferent, which is why many needlewomen try to convey the beauty and stateliness of this flower with the help of artificial materials and often use foamiran for this.

In this article, we offer you a step-by-step master class and video tutorials on making this flower.

If you have a great desire to make such a flower yourself, then stock up on materials for work and go ahead!

To work on creating an orchid, you will need:

  • foamiran of different colors,
  • glue,
  • scissors,
  • iron,
  • foil,
  • corrugated paper,
  • floral wire,
  • pastel pencils,
  • floral tape.

Foamiran orchid: master class

Following the prompts of microns, our orchid will not differ much from a real flower. But before you start work, it is best to prepare orchid patterns, they will be very easy to cut according to the template:

Stages of work

A sheet of foamiran of the main color, that is, the color of future petals, is cut into identical squares with a side of 4 cm, plus cut out 1 rectangle with dimensions of 4x2 cm.

From these blanks we make the petals of the future flower, using a ready-made pattern or drawing by hand on a foma sheet:

With the help of pastel pencils, we tint the edges and core of each petal, giving them a visual volume:

When all the petals are toned, we proceed to the stage of adding texture. To do this, we need an iron, with which we will need to heat a petal wrapped in corrugated paper.

Please note that it is advisable to use 1 strip of paper per 1 petal to keep a clear pattern of texture.

After heating, the petal in paper is folded into a tight tube and twisted. Keep in mind that these manipulations must be done quickly enough until the petal has cooled down.

After we unfold the blank, the leaf should take on a new shape:

We bring the shape of each petal to perfection, slightly stretching and pressing on it:

The result should be something like this:

We proceed to the formation of the core of the flower. For this we need foil and wire.

A piece of foil needs to be rolled into a small ball, then pulled out a little, giving an oval shape, and fastened to the end of the wire:

We begin to glue orchid petals to this core.

Petals need to be glued very carefully and evenly so that they do not move apart:

We glue the second row of petals as in the photo :

The end result should be something like this:

We turn to decorating the wire-stem of the flower. To do this, we take a teip tape (you can buy it at a flower or needlework store) and wrap the entire stem. It is best to make a winding in 2 layers so that the work looks more neat, hiding all the nuances of creating a flower:

After that, we begin to make an elegant core of an orchid flower. You can use ready-made templates or show your imagination:

According to the template, we cut out a figurine from Thomas and decorate with acrylic paints or a marker. In the place where the cross is, you need to drop a little glue:

Glue a petal of the same color on top of this blank:

And again we drip a little glue to fix the shape of the core:

To give naturalness and realism to this blank, we heat its edges with an iron, so they curl up a little:

The resulting core is glued into the middle of the workpiece with petals:

Since there are usually 4-5 flowers on one branch of an orchid, then we should have several blanks:

We connect the finished flowers on the wire with each other using teip tape. As a result of this, a thick trunk of the stem is obtained, to match the real flower.

As a final touch, glue a small bead into the very center. Orchid is ready:

Well, as a bonus, there are several detailed video tutorials on how foamiran orchids are made.
