The easiest way to make a flower out of cloth - collect it from parts of different sizes, as a pyramid. To make the details, draw on the cardboard templates (curves) of different sizes (for example - in the picture on the left). You will need several templates, their number depends on the desired shape and splendor of the future flower from the fabric, but it is better if there are at least three of them.

Then put the temples on the cloth and circle. Need to do several details of each size, preferably not less than three. Cut the finished parts with scissors, and cut the edges of each part over the candle flame so that the fabric does not "pour". That is why to make flowers from tissue you need to take synthetic fabrics - they melt well, and natural ones will burn. Just do not overdo it - the edges of the part should only melt a little, and not turn black and curl.

From the finished parts collect the flower. Below - details of the largest diameter, then - a little less, finish with the smallest details. Then sew all the parts in the center. Middle of a flower from a fabric can be made from beads, beads, rhinestones, pebbles, etc. You can make a flower from a fabric, using curves in the form of circles of different sizes - the technology remains exactly the same.

This way of making flowers from the fabric is a bit more complicated than the previous one. The flower in this case assembled from separate petals. After determining the number of petals, cut outFrom the cardboard curl in the form of a circle and make as many details of the fabric as there are petals in your flower. Handle the edges of each part in the same way as in the previous master class.

Then fold each part four times, take a needle with a thread and pull off the edges future petals along the resulting arc. From the finished petals collect the flower, as shown in the diagram on the right. In the center of the flower you will have a hole. Close it with a button, a bead, a ball made of wool, etc.

To make a more magnificent flower from a fabric, for example, a lily, you can combine these two techniques. To do this, make circular patterns of differentsizes, about five pieces. Using the patterns, make the petals of the future flower (several petals of each size). From the petals of the same size, collect the flowers-preforms, and then add them with a pyramid from bigger to smaller, as in the first master class. Sew the resulting flower and decorate it in the middle.

As you can see, make a flower from the tissue with your own hands not at all difficult! Such flowers from the fabric can be used as accessories, but you can decorate them with an interior - for example, by collecting a panel from them and hanging them on a wall. But the fabric is not the only material for artificial flowers. You can also try making flowers from beads or even flowers from sweets.
