Hydrangea is an unpretentious shrub of amazing beauty and diversity with a wide palette of colors and large curly leaves.
Hydrangea (Hydrangea) contains up to 35 species originating from Southeast Asia, North and South America. Translated from Greek it means “water vessel”, because. loves moisture very much.
It is mainly a shrub from one to three meters high, there are small trees and vines up to 30 m high. Hydrangeas can be either deciduous or evergreen.
Delicate, beautiful hydrangea flowers bloom from spring to late autumn in spherical snow-white, pink, lilac or blue inflorescences. A single flower is very simple - three or four petals and a stamen. However, in inflorescence, they look rich and elegant. In autumn, on one plant you can simultaneously see buds, seed heads and leaves of different colors - an unusually beautiful sight. Today I want to offer you a master class on making hydrangea flowers from foamiran.



Parade of flowers. Hydrangea blooms.
Its inflorescences are balls above the ground
They fly and seem unearthly,
And their fabulous flight is beautiful.

They take off from the pink dawn
And they shine with mischievous lights,
And it’s like the sun is scattering a swarm
His messengers among the gardens

And parks.

Their multi-colored, many-sided system
For us it is most wonderful
as a gift
And spreads through the heart
sweet Honey…
Parade of flowers. Hydrangea is blooming...

For work we will need:
- foamiran in 2 colors (blue and green);
- stamens for flowers;
- acrylic paints (white and dark green);
- wire;
- tape;
- regular and curly scissors;
- brush;
- wooden skewer;
- hot glue gun;
- iron;


- flower and leaf template.

Progress:

Carefully trace the flower template using a wooden skewer.
Cut along the contour with scissors.
Or we cut foamiran squares with a side of three centimeters,


fold in four, as shown in the example of a paper square,



round the side edges.


The result is a flower with four petals.



It is not necessary to make the petals the same, because in nature there are no absolutely identical flowers.
Using white acrylic paint, lightly tint the center of each flower on both sides.


Heat on the iron. When heated, the part shrinks and falls off.


These are the flowers you get.


We cut off the stamens on one side.


We pierce the center of each flower with wire.


and insert the stamen into the hole.


We fix it on the back side of the flower using a glue gun. Here are our finished flowers.


We collect an inflorescence from them using tape and wire.


From green fom we cut out two leaves with curly scissors, draw veins with a skewer and tint with dark green acrylic paint.


Heat the leaves on the iron


and add texture by pressing both ends in different directions and carefully rolling with your fingers.


We straighten the leaf and slightly stretch it with our fingers, giving it the desired shape. We glue a wire about 5-7 cm long to the base, roll the gluing area between the thumb and forefinger


and wrap it with tape.


Using tape, we attach the leaves to the stem. The flower is ready.



Such inflorescences can be made in different shades and with different numbers of flowers; they will look great on an album cover, postcard, handbag, hairpin or headband.
I made them as an addition to bouquets of flowers from foamiran.



Almost every woman has situations when she needs to attend some event, for which she simply cannot do without a beautiful, new outfit. However, it is not always possible to purchase an expensive item. Therefore, we try to choose something from what we already have and embellish the outfit so that it looks completely new. If you have a desire to do handicrafts, try making your own decoration. For example, a hydrangea made from foamiran, the master class of which we are showing today, will transform any outfit.

Tools and material for work:

- foamiran (foam, plastic shamsha);
- scissors;
- iron (curling iron, hair straightening iron);
- glue;
- floral wire (thin);
- needle;
- toothpick or skewer;
- dry pastel (for tinting);
- a piece of corrugated paper;
- stamens;
- tape.

Step-by-step master class:

Making hydrangea from foamiran is not difficult, and even a beginner can handle it.
Take a sheet of fomat and draw 2 by 2 cm squares with a toothpick or skewer. My sheet size is 28 by 12 cm.




Next, use scissors to cut out the squares.



Carefully make cuts on each side, not reaching the middle.








Next, heat the iron or other heating device (for example, you can also use a curling iron or hair straightener). To heat the hair, I use a hair straightening iron.
As soon as the iron has warmed up (medium temperature), apply the petal to it.




Let's wait literally 3-4 seconds. The petal of our hydrangea made from foamiran will fall off the iron itself.
Without waiting for the petal to cool, quickly apply it to a piece of corrugated paper and press firmly with your finger. This is necessary in order to give the petal texture. If you couldn’t find corrugated paper, you can attach a petal from the fom to an ordinary dry leaf from any tree.




This is how the petal turned out.



We do the same with the rest of the blanks.
Now we take a needle, pierce a hole in the center of the petal and thread the stamen through it.




We do the same with other petals.
For one bunch you need approximately 10-12 hydrangea flowers. We take the flowers, twist them together, add floral wire and wrap them with tape. This is what ends up happening.




Next, you need to take 3-4 bundles and connect them together with tape. But first, let's make leaves for the hydrangea.




Let's tint it with brown pastel.






Connect 3-4 bunches of flowers together using tape, adding two leaves. You can also attach the leaves to the trunk with tape, then the transition will not be visible. In my case, the connection of the leaves with the trunk was not visible in the composition, so I simply glued the leaves to the trunk.




This is the beautiful sprig of hydrangea you can make from foamiran.



Wonderful hydrangea...for a new job...I'll tell you how to make it...maybe it will come in handy for someone)))

First, I cut 2.5 cm and 2.0 cm squares from foamiran for flowers. I cut on each side, not reaching the middle. I round the corners of the large square, then trim the petals towards the center.

These are the flowers you should get.


For the imprint I use 2 molds: a grape leaf and a strawberry leaf. Whenever one comes to hand)))


Here are 2 versions of the flower: I first tinted the first one, then processed it on mold, the second one is the opposite - first mold, then tinting. In the second option, the veins are more clearly visible. This time I decided to make flowers with clear veins.


Place one petal at a time on the iron...


Then quickly onto the mold....align the central vein on the mold with the center of the petal


The following shows the tinting of the flower step by step. I use oil pastels. First, I tint the entire flower on both sides with light blue. Then I paint the edges of the petals dark blue. A little green or olive in the center of the flower. At the last stage, I rub the pastel from the center of the petal to the edges - the pastel is slightly rubbed into the veins and the color transition is smoothed out.


It is important not to forget about the ends of the petals. I fold the petal in half and color it with dark blue pastels.


For the centers I chose beige stamens, because there will be beige ranunculi in the composition. I cut the threads of the stamens in half, insert them into the center of the flower and carefully glue them.


These are the flowers we will get


For the composition I needed small branches with 5-7 flowers. I secure 3 small flowers (from a 2.0 cm square) with wire. You can glue it a little.


Wrap tape around the top of the branch.


Next, I gradually glue and wrap large flowers with tape at different levels.


Instead of tape, you can use ground strips of foamiran.
the branches are ready.


A short description with the same photos is on my VK page https://vk.com/album312369620_234593006

I’ll tell you where I placed these branches next time))))

Hydrangea is gaining popularity among wedding florists. This flower is becoming more and more common in small wedding arrangements. Foamiran hydrangea can be used as interior decoration. Individual hydrangea flowers can be used to make hair decorations or brooches. In this MK I will make a hydrangea inflorescence with leaves.

This is the kind of hydrangea flower we will make at the master class.

To create a hydrangea flower you will need:

  • white foamiran;
  • purple, green pastels, as well as a sponge for applying pastels and shading;
  • Cattleya mold;
  • iron;
  • second glue;
  • scissors;
  • stamens with medium heads;
  • wire No. 28-30;
  • tape tape.

Making templates for hydrangeas from foamiran

We will make hydrangea without a separate pattern. To prepare templates for making a flower, take a strip of white foamiran 1.8 cm wide along the entire length of the foamiran.

Master class on foamiran: Craspedia flower, photo

We cut a strip of white foamiran into rectangles 1.8 cm * 4.6 cm.

How to make a hydrangea flower?

We bend the rectangle in half and cut out the petals in the form of a droplet, unfold them and the petals turn out to be a bow. You need to cut two bows for one flower. Since the hydrangea flower itself consists of a large number of inflorescences, from 30 or more. Therefore, it is necessary to cut out a large number of petals. The finished flower in the photo is made of 35 pieces.

Then we heat the petals one at a time on an iron at a wool-silk temperature and process them on the mold.

Take a purple oil pastel and tint one side along the edge of the petals with purple pastel.

Then we apply blue pastel and shade it well.

On the reverse side, we tint the petals completely with two pastel colors: violet and blue. These are the petals you get.

Then we take the stamens with white middle heads. For one flower there are 4 stamens. We connect them together and attach them to the litons using tape. And we tint the edges a little with pastel.

We take a petal and put on its prepared stamens. Apply a drop of glue to the base.

We put on the second petal and apply a drop of glue by lifting one petal, then apply glue under the second petal. Here is one flower ready. But the hydrangea flower itself is a large ball, which consists of inflorescences of 35 or more flowers.

This is how we make flowers and collect them into an inflorescence, which can consist of 3 flowers. That is, we collect three flowers on one stem.

This is what the inflorescence looks like from below. The inflorescence can consist of from 3 to 9 flowers.

Flowers from foamiran is not afraid of moisture, it is very light, they can be worn in rain and snow. But like any handmade product, they require careful handling. Natasha Platonova describes the creation of hydrangeas from foamiran:

“The work itself is not difficult, but it requires time and perseverance. Let's get started.
For work we will need:

  • foamiran in 2 colors (peach and olive);
  • mold hydrnesia;
  • stamens for flowers;
  • oil pastel (pink and green);
  • floral wire No. 26-28;
  • tape;
  • regular and manicure scissors;
  • transparent glue and a thin brush.

Using a toothpick, cut the required size piece of peach foam into 2x2 cm squares. You can choose a different tone for the foam for the flower, and the color scheme of the pastel will change accordingly.

Let's cut our squares.

Mentally or with a needle we mark the center of the square. Next, using nail scissors, we make cuts from the middle of each side of the square, not reaching the center by about 1-2mm. We get 4 petals of our future hydrangea, which now need to be given a more natural shape by rounding the side edges. Do not try to make the petals absolutely identical, because in nature there are no absolutely identical petals.

Using green pastel we tint the middle of each flower on both sides.

Using an iron, we heat each petal of our flower in turn and print it on the mold (that is, we apply each flower to the iron 4 times).

This is what we end up with.

We tint the tops of each petal with pink pastel (we tint the second time after heating it with an iron, since the edge turns out to be harder and the pastel lays down more beautifully, in my opinion).

We pierce the center of each flower with a needle and insert the stamen.

Now you need to secure the stamen on the back side of the flower. I do this using clear glue (for decoupage) and a thin brush. Here are our finished flowers separately.

We collect inflorescences from them, consisting of about 5-7 flowers, using tape and floral wire

Let's add some greenery. We cut out the leaves from the olive tree and use nail scissors to make cuts along the edges of the leaves.

We heat our leaves on an iron and add texture by imprinting them on the mold.

We glue a wire about 5 cm long to the back side of the leaves and, using tape, collect a whole hydrangea sprig from ready-made inflorescences and leaves. We admire the result
