Ball of flowers with your hands, instructions, photo
The fantasies of florists are endless, sowe are often pleased with the most unusual decorations from flowers. Despite the complexity of many compositions, something, however, we can do ourselves. The country of the Soviets will tell you how to make an elegant ball of flowers.
Ball of flowers by your own hands
We will need:
• a sponge ball (also known as an "oasis") with a diameter of about 20 cm
• flowers - about 50 pieces. Suitable chrysanthemums, carnations and others.
• scissors
Step 1. Preparing the flowers. To do this, they need to be cut at an angle so that they absorb moisture better. Leave a 3-5 cm stem to insert the flower into the oasis.
Step 2. The first flower is inserted at the top of the sponge and continue to position the flowers along the circumference to form an even line. This will allow the finished ball to look neat. Flowers should fit tightly together, so that the surface of the oasis is not visible.
Step 3. Turn the ball over so that the first row is parallel to the table. Continue to fill the oasis, starting this time from any flower. We continue to embroider flowers along the circumference.
Step 4. Now you can arrange flowers in the oasis as you like. Make sure that the composition looks neat. A ready-made ball of flowers will become a wonderful decoration for any table, including festive and business. In almost the same way, you can make a balloon bouquet for the bride. But he needs a sphere smaller than the size, about 7-9 cm in diameter. The choice of colors will also require a separate approach. You can combine white, tender pink, blue and green colors. Suitable roses, ranunkulius, white carnations. They can be combined with irises, astromerias and other flowers, as well as with green branches.
Bow-bouquet for the bride from flowers by own hands
Step 1. Since the bride must keep this ball in her hand, it will require a convenient fastening. It is made of wire and lace. Lace is better to sew on a satin ribbon. First, we determine the size for the tape, wrapping it around it for the bride's hand. Then place the wire in the middle, bend it in half and twist it - the wire loop now tightly holds the tape.
Step 2. We pierce through the oasis with the ends of the wire folded together. The ribbon with lace should fit snugly against the ball on the other side. So that it does not get dirty during work, wrap the tape with a film.
Step 3. The protruding ends of the wire are bent and hidden in an oasis. To strengthen the lace, you can take a light, thin plate and wrap around it the same loop as for the tape. Also, before the distribution of colors, the ball can be wrapped with a mesh.
Step 4. We fix the flowers. If we use different species, as well as green twigs, the composition must be thought out in advance. Oasis is filled with flowers, starting with a lace pen. It is important to monitor the balance so that it does not draw on one of the parties. If the branches or stems of flowers are very soft, then in the sphere it will be necessary to make shallow holes with a thin stick. Such festive and elegant balls make not only living, but also artificial flowers. Often they are made even lighter and are used to decorate the premises - they are hung on the ceiling, walls and window openings.
On the floristic sponge they can be fastened the sameway, like living. But for greater reliability on the stalk, it is necessary to apply glue and only then insert it into the sphere. If you use flowers of different sizes for a ball, first place large inflorescences on the whole surface. Arrange the middle flowers between them, and the remaining gaps can be filled with small ones. Very balloons look, created from fabric flowers. Beautiful look and paper. Their size, design and application will depend only on your imagination.
