After sewing children's felt toys, I still have small cuttings of thin felt. It's a pity to throw it out, so I decided to make a floral topiary for a change.
Floral topiery of felt with your own hands - master class
So, I needed:
- trimming felt (I have 2 colors - red and green, you can any other colors);
- Pins (needles with a bead, you can with an iron loop, but the bead looks more beautiful);
- wire for the trunk;
- floralent for the winding of the trunk (or string of floss, twine, ribbon-all that is in the household);
- scissors for cutting our flowers;
- Glue (I have hot melt - a very versatile thing);
- polystyrene foam (I had a round for topiariy for a long time, it costs a penny in the shops for creativity, but I did it from ordinary polystyrene-just glued pieces);
- ribbon for decoration (on the arm caught, well, not in vain ;-));
- pot where we plant our floral topiary.
Performance:
- First, cut out the flowers. For this, it is most convenient to make squares of two sizes - larger and smaller (2cm and 1.5cm). I did not make a template - they do not have to be smooth and the same - on the contrary, it is more beautiful if the flowers differ in both size and shape. Better immediately prepare more, for watching your favorite TV series.
- Well, now on our pins on 2 flowers are stuck - a little and more (you can and 3 do, as the fantasy tells - from this flower will only be more spacious).
- We fix the barrel of the topiary in a glass: I filled the wire with a hot-melt glue, and you can pour alabaster, depending on what you plant your tree.
- We'll wind the wire with florenthene or whatever you have, we will make the foam plastic.
- Now the most pleasant and interesting activity is to design a floral topiary. It's very simple and exciting: you just need to place flowers in the way fantasy tells you.
- I found a small ribbon, it was very useful for decorating my felt miracle.
- And even the scraps from the flowers I had attached (first they were divided into flowers separately - red and green in a glass, but the son still decided that it was more beautiful to mix colors ... I did not argue with my assistant.
- All is ready! Very simple, and most importantly very beautiful - and as a decor in the interior, and as an excellent gift to relatives or friends!
I want to do more black and white, in the style of yin-yang. Good luck in the works and inexhaustible imagination.
