Flowers from wire

Flowers made of wire and thread

This is one of the simplest handicrafts made of wire, such a child can make such a child of the senior preschool age (under the strict supervision and guidance of an adult, of course). Working with wire helps children develop fine motor skills, attention and assiduity.

For work it will be necessary to take a thin wire forflowers and thick - for stems, thread (preferably mulina or silk) and green corrugated paper or thread for decorating the stem. It is best to take for petals enameled artistic wire of different colors and pick up the thread in color. You also need a used rod for a ballpoint pen or spoke, wire cutters.

To make a petal It is necessary to tightly wind the wire on the rod so that a long spring (the length can be varied depending on thethe desired size of the petal, but with a too short spring it will be inconvenient to work). Leave some wire at the beginning and end of the spring, so that you can then attach the petals to each other.

Remove the wire from the rod and lightly stretch itspring in different directions. Fold the ends together, forming a petal-shaped petal, and twist for fixation. At the junction of the wire, tie the end of the thread and begin to weave the petal. The easiest way to braid is to thread the thread in a circle, passing between the coils of the spring. After reaching the top of the petal, flip the thread on the front side and pull it back to the base.

Make five such petals and a center of fine wire and beads or threads of a different color. Collect the flower from the petals and the middle, slightly bending the petals. Wrap the stem with a thin wire, and on topher - green corrugated paper or green thread. You can attach the leaves to the stem, made in the same technique as the petals. They need to be attached before you decorate the stem.

Flowers made of wire and cloth (kapron)

Another way to make a flower from wire. In this case the frame of the flower is made a little more simple way, and instead of the threads for filling the frame is used fabric. To produce a flower you will needwire, cloth, pliers (if the wire is thick), scissors, nippers, glue and paper scotch (or thread). Also, you need a small object of cylindrical shape (for example, a can of deodorant) to make a wire frame.

Take a piece of wire, wrap around the can and fix the loop, twisting the ends of the wire two or three times. After removing the loop from the can, give it a drop-shaped shapeAnd put the ends together - this will be the stem.

Cloth spread, if necessary iron. On the wire loop, apply glue from the side that will be lower. Carefully press the loop with the glue to the fabric, when the glue dries, trim the excess fabric around the edges of the petal (it is advisable to take a fabric that does not pour for flowers). Make the right amount of petals.

Then Each petal must be bent at the base so that it is at an angle of 90 degrees to the rest of the wire. Fold together five or six petals and wind the wire legs with paper tape or threads, combining them into one stem. You can assemble a flower from the same petals or from multi-colored - as you like.

If you want to make more delicate, translucent flowers, you can Instead of gluing the fabric, wrap the loop with a piece of colored nylon from tights that have become unusable, fix it with a thread at the base of the petal and cut off excess.

As you can see, make flowers from wire is not difficult. Perhaps they do not smell like real, but they do not fade and much more pleases your eye.
