The decorative look of a rose from foamiran will not leave anyone indifferent. You can make a queen of flowers with your own hands of any kind and size. Great interior decorations, miniature buds on stems in pots look great. Such exclusive crafts will take their rightful place in the house or apartment. Due to the special properties of the foam sheets, the products will last a long time without losing their pristine beauty.
Foamiran is a velvety-looking and touch-like material with a foamed structure. The composition of the polymer includes vinyl acetate and ethylene. Because of these substances, plastic suede sheets have a pungent odor while they are in packaged form.
The production of foamiran started in Iran. Gradually, entrepreneurs from China and other countries took over it. Due to the ease of processing, the variety of use cases, the tool quickly became popular. Its main advantage is compliance. The material softens, becomes ready for use under the influence of low temperature, for example, the warmth of human hands.
You can buy foam rubber in any store with goods for needlework. More often you can find sheet foam, the standard size is 40 x 60 cm. The thickness of the plates can be different, depending on the manufacturer, does not exceed 3 mm. A roll form of release is also possible. Thin sheets are sold curled up without packaging.
The indicators of flexibility and ductility of the material increase due to the degree of foaming. Quality determines usability. The more air bubbles in it, the easier it is to roll out and draw different shapes from it after heating.
Properties and Application
Foamiran quickly became so popular due to its convenient form of release, a variety of colors, low price and its unique properties. It is much superior to fabric or paper, suitable for creating flat crafts, three-dimensional shapes, colors. The following features are inherent in decorative material:

Easy way to create a rose for beginners
A charming flower can be created in many ways. Novice masters can form a rose from several separate petals or prepared petal details. The second way is simpler. The next master class will be devoted to just such a method of collecting flowers.
To work, you need a pink or red foamiran, a small green piece for the leaves. You also need a set of standard tools and several suitable paper templates. We prepare patterns for the petals - cut out three different circles from paper, divide them into five parts, form a rounded petal from each sector.
We apply the templates to the foamiran, we outline the contours with a toothpick. Cut one piece of each size. If desired, the edges of the petals can be tinted. We heat the iron and apply the blanks one at a time, give the bulge with tensile movements, twist the edges in the opposite direction.
We make a bud from several petals. We roll up a ball from food foil, put it on a toothpick and begin to glue the petals. We put the smallest petal detail on a stick, glue it at the base.Now we fix the petals to the central bud in a checkerboard pattern. When one row is completed, proceed to the next detail and proceed by analogy with the previous petals.
How to make a hair clip with a rose from foamiran
Hair jewelry can be made small, barely noticeable, or bulky, accent. Often hairpins are made specifically for a certain celebration. It will be necessary to prepare foam material of scarlet color, golden braid, two nylon ribbons of green and salad color, an elastic band for hair, necessary tools.
First of all, cut the petals according to the pattern. We prepare 6 large, 12 medium, 10 small. Now we glue a tape of 14 cm length to a piece of 9x10 cm foil and roll the rustling material into a ball. We fix the petals in turn to the base - first the smallest, then the middle, turning a little one after another. From green foamiran we make leaves and sepals. We pierce the workpiece in the center and put on the braid. From the ribbons we collect two bows, attach a flower to them and tie them with a braid. On the back, we attach a hairpin or elastic band.
Creating an interior rose on a stem
By clearly following the instructions step by step, you can make a stunning rose of any size and complexity. We will make a stable flower on the stem from foamiran, floristic wire, teip tape. You will also need Moment glue, a hot gun, a set of paints, and an iron to shape the leaves and petals.
Work must begin with the manufacture of templates. On paper we draw blanks of the required size - large - 5 pieces, medium - 11 pieces, small - 9 pieces. Each is heated on an iron and we form natural grooves and bulges. Roll up the ball from foil, push it onto a toothpick. On this core, we alternately glue the petals. When the flower is fully harvested, you can give it an arbitrary drawing using artistic crayons.
At the next stage, cut out the leaves, give the desired shape, if necessary, paint in the tone of tape tape. Separate from the coil of wire 6 pieces of 10 cm, fasten them to the leaves. We wind the leaves to a piece of dense wire, thicken the trunk with a teip tape, paint over with paint. Finally, we fix the flower to the stem.
An interior rose will look spectacular if made from a bright foamiran. Looks nice yellow, red, blue, burgundy decor.
Workshop on making a rosebud
Simple and beautiful buds can be made from a minimum of materials. We will work with a foam ball by the method of building petals on it. According to the pattern in the form of a drop, we cut out 8 parts, prepare an asterisk from a green piece of foam rubber for sepals.
On a small piece of wire we fix the ball. All cut petals and sepals are heated with an iron. Give them the desired shape by scrolling between the fingers. We twist one petal to the middle and fasten to the base. The next part is glued unfolded, covering a twisted petal. The remaining elements are fixed with an overlap, moving around the circle. Glue sepals and wooden skewer-stem.
Peony rose: step by step instructions
Performing all the steps in a step-by-step description proposed by the master class in stages, you can achieve full compliance of such a rose with its living analogue. To work, you need a pink or white foamiran, a piece of wire, cotton wool, oil pastels, crepe paper, PVA glue.
On a sheet of office paper, create a diagram of future petals. You will need to draw 15 parts in the form of a drop of different sizes. We cut out the required number of petals, from 3 to 15 pieces of each species, and thin out if desired.
We make the core of twisted wire. Wrap it with cotton dipped in glue, sprinkle with semolina. The middle can be tinted with yellow acrylic paint.We prepare the petals, arrange them into segments and proceed to the collection - from large to small. Glue 4 blanks to the middle, form the base.
We glue 5 petals at the base like a fan, bend the edges of the two extreme elements and apply to the base from the side of two segments. There will be two such details. Now we begin to create the main series. We arrange the petals of 3-5 pieces and glue to the bud. The splendor of a peony rose will depend on the number of rows.
To create a peony rose, it is better to choose thin sheets of foamiran. It is worth giving preference to materials from Iranian, Chinese manufacturers.
Japanese style rose
This rose is easier to make from marshmallow foamiran. You will need to stock up on several lilac or blue leaves, 1 mm thick. For decor, you will need a blue oil pastel, a piece of fleece or a sponge. Making any flower made of foam rubber begins with a pattern. We will collect the Japanese rose from the petals of 3 species. It is better to make blanks with a margin, since the marshmallow foam is porous and easily tears.
The main difference between the flower in the oriental style is the unusual coloring. The brightness of the color gains from the middle to the edges of the petals. When all the blanks are cut, we tint them with the same pencils, shade them with a sponge. Now we proceed to the heating and formation of the structure. We lean each element against the iron for 2-3 seconds, fold it with an accordion, twist.
First, we glue small petals on the foil core, then medium, then the largest ones at the end. We cut off the excess below. We close the base with the last element.
Wreath of small roses
Miniature roses can be assembled into a composition and placed in a vase or pot, placed on the rim in the form of an original wreath. The work is expected to be simple, but painstaking. You will need to prepare a foamiran of a suitable color for buds and leaves, a thin wire, a tape tape, adhesives,manicure scissors or a figured hole punch.
Cutout petals, tinted if desired. After heat treatment, we give them the desired realistic shape, for the leaves we use molds. We divide the wire into several equal parts, at the end of each we fasten the foil base and collect the petals in closed roses, fasten the leaves. In this way, we make 10-15 blanks on wire legs. The quantity depends on the rim collection pattern. We attach blanks to a thick wire, we reel it with a tape tape.
How and how to tint rose petals from foamiran
Due to the special structure, the paint in the foam is perfectly absorbed, filling the pores. The painted product does not stain hands and clothing, and may be dry cleaned and washed. The foamiran petals are tinted with paints of the following type:
Dry pastel. On a wet towel is carried out in small pieces, transferred to the product. For persistent and bright coloring, movements are made with a slight pressure. With light shading, the movements are sliding.
Oil pastel. You can transfer color through a napkin or simply by drawing the necessary contours. For the quickest penetration of paints, foamiran can be wetted.
Acrylic paint. Apply it to the workpiece blanks with a brush or cotton swab. Ribs of petals and leaves are tinted with blotting movements.
How to care for products from foamiran
Roses made of foam rubber, like other crafts, are not afraid of sunlight and moisture. Products from foamiran can be placed on the windowsill, in the bathroom, in the kitchen. But, despite the resistance to heat and humidity, crafts require a careful attitude and a certain care.
Flowers from several layers and many petals are best protected from dust, stored in a plastic or cardboard box, suitable for growth crafts. Contamination in hard to reach places must be carefully removed with a small brush. With a large composition, dust is blown away with a hairdryer.
