How to make flowers by yourself?

Flowers - an integral attribute of any festiveEvents. Very often, flowers are given simply because there is no reason to pay attention to the dear and beloved person. The easiest option is to buy flowers in a flower shop, and you can make flowers yourself, because they will bring more joy.

Flowers can be made from any improvised materials. Let's consider some variants.

From the buttons

It's very easy to make a flower from buttons with your own hands, even a small beginning master can cope with it.

In the course of the work you will need:

• buttons of different sizes;
• wire of medium thickness;
• pliers.

Flower Creation:

1. We choose buttons of different colors and sizes and build a small pyramid, putting one button on the other.
2. Cut off the necessary amount of wire with pliers and level it.
3. String the prepared buttons on the wire through one hole.
4. We bend the wire and pass it through the second hole of the buttons.
5. We twist both ends of the wire together. The flower is ready. Such a flower can decorate any hand-craft, as well as indoor flowers that do not bloom at all.

Instead of buttons you can use beads. Flowers in this case will please the original overflow. If you want to know how else you can make flowers from beads, read the article How to make flowers from beads.

From tapes

With the help of a variety of ribbons, you can make original flowers, which you can decorate the gift box.

To create a flower from ribbons you need to purchase:

• satin ribbon;
• buttons;
• glue;
• ruler;
• thread;
• needle.

Manufacture:

1. We cut ribbons of the same length. To create a single flower, you need to prepare 4-8 ribbons. It should be noted that each petal is the fourth part of the ribbon, so you need to cut off a tape of the appropriate length.
2. To ensure that the tape does not fall off during operation, its ends need to be processed. The best option is to treat it with fire.
3. In the middle of each tape, apply glue, fold the edges and glue to the middle.
4. We collect all the petals in this way and glue them together in the form of a flower. For greater strength, they can be gently sewed with a thread with a needle.
5. The middle of the resulting flower can be decorated with a beautiful button, glued or sutured in the middle.

It is worth noting that the flowers can be made not only from tapes, but also from cloth, and information on how to make flowers from cloth, you can read in the article How to make flowers from cloth.

From plastic spoons

From plastic spoons you can make interesting water lilies.

For the manufacture of flowers must be purchased:

• plastic spoons (small or large, depending on the size of the desired flower);
• a plastic bottle;
• glue;
• yellow paint.

Manufacture:

• Divide each spoon into two parts: we separate the scoop from the handle.
• We collect the water-lily. We connect three spoons with each other and paste them. Then, to the resulting core, we glue still the petals in a circle. You can make one or two rows.
• We make the middle. To do this, we cut out a rectangular strip from a plastic bottle, about 12 cm long and 2 to 3 cm wide. We cut the strip into smaller stripes and turn the part. After that, it is well pasted and painted in yellow.
• Then we connect the prepared centers with the base. To do this, apply the glue on the middle base and insert it inside the water lily.

Another original way to create flowers from improvised materials is to make a flower from plastic bottles. This can be read in the article How to make a flower from a plastic bottle.
