Templates for hair decorations

From a dark shade of purple foamiran we cut out 3 strips - 1.5 cm * 5 cm, 2 cm * 5 cm, 3 cm * 5 cm, triple leaves and sepals. From light purple foamiran we cut out squares 2.5 * 2.5 - 13 pieces and 3.5 * 3.5 - 11 pieces and leaves 6 pieces.

From the squares we cut out petals for the flower and buds in the form of droplets.

We cut strips of 1.5 cm and 2 cm into small fringes, and cut a strip of 3 cm a little wider.

We process the first two strips on an iron, heating it on the iron at silk-wool temperature. We process it so that the fringe bends a little, using our fingers to help.

Grind a fringe 3 cm wide between your fingers.

Step-by-step photo of making hair decorations from foamiran with your own hands

We process all the leaves on the mold using a universal mold. Heat it on an iron at wool-silk temperature and squeeze it well on the mold.

We process all the cut out petals on a Cattleya mold. Heat it on an iron at silk-wool temperature and squeeze it well on the mold.

For tinting we use lilac oil pastel and with a sponge we apply a slight tinting over the entire petal. Highlighting the veins.

On the edge of the iron, we heat the end of the petal and make waves, stretching the edge of the petals.

Along the edges of the leaves we apply tinting with lilac oil pastels, applying tinting on both sides.

We apply notches to the leaves, 3-4 notches on each side of the leaf. And we process it on the edge of the iron so that the notches come off.

Using lilac oil pastels we apply tint along the edges of the petals of the sepals. We apply tint on both sides.

We cut notches on the petals of the sepals. We fold the sepals into one petal and rub them between our fingers, without rubbing the middle.

We take strips of 2 cm and 3 cm and dip them in PVA glue and then in micro beads. Leave to dry.

Take a toothpick and glue a 1.5 cm strip of fringe, forming the center of the flower. We twist the fringe so that the fringe points inward. The middle should be 0.5-0.7 cm. We wind the second strip so that the fringe looks outward. Make 2 turns and cut off the excess.

We take small petals and glue 5 pieces in a circle, glue them to the base of the center and lift them slightly.

We glue 5 large petals in a checkerboard pattern, between the petals of the first row.

Take the sepal and glue it to the flower.

Take a 3 cm fringe and glue it onto a toothpick, making 3 turns. We make 2 pieces of base for large buds.

Take 3 large petals and glue them together like a fan.

Place the base a little higher in the middle of the petals, wrap it and glue it into the petals.

We put on the sepals and glue each petal.

We process the petals of the sepals on the edge of the iron so that the petals are slightly bent.

Take the fringe and make 2 turns on the toothpick. We also glue 3 small petals together like a fan and glue the base into them. This is how the middle buds were formed.

Glue the sepals to the middle buds and process them on the edge of the iron.

We twist the fringe one turn onto a toothpick, then glue the fringe with a petal. And glue the sepals. This is how small buds were formed.

We take an automatic hairpin and paste it with a strip of foamiran.

And glue the leaves to the middle of the hairpin on both sides.

Glue triple leaves on both sides.

Glue a flower in the middle.

Glue 6 buds around the flower in a circle, symmetrically on both sides.

Here is an original hair decoration in the form of a “Caprice” automatic hairpin.

Hair decoration with hairpins with foamiran roses

To create a rose you will need:

• white, olive Iranian foamiran;
• iron;
• wire No. 26-28;
• scissors;
• hairpin.

For a rosette on a stiletto heel we will need 4 petal circles. We cut out petal circles from white foamiran with a diameter of 4.5 cm, 3.5 cm - 2 pieces each.

We process each petal of the five-petal circle separately on an iron at silk-wool temperature, making indentations in the middle of each petal. We process the edges of the petals with a lighter or by turning them on the edge of the iron.

We take a piece of foil 4*4 cm and form a droplet, put it on and glue the droplet onto the wire.

We put the petal circle on the foil base and paste it over one petal at a time, covering the foil.

We take the second petal circle and put it on the base and glue it, lifting the petals.

We also put on and glue another third petal circle, apply glue to the base and a little to the bottom of the petals and slightly press it to the base.

We put the fourth petal circle on the base and apply glue only to the base.

We fasten the pin from the base with a wire and cut off the remaining wire.

Take a piece of olive foamiran with a diameter of 1.5 cm and put it on a stiletto heel.

And glue it to the base.

We make notches on the sepals and fold them like an accordion and gently rub them between our fingers and straighten them.

We put a sepal on the hairpin and glue it to the base of the rose.

This is the rose we made from foamiran on a stiletto heel. These hairpins can be used to decorate wedding, evening or even everyday hairstyles.

Foamirn coral and flower patterns

And from blue marshmallow foamiran we cut out squares for star-shaped flower petals and from coral marshmallow foam we cut out rectangles in the amount of 6 pieces for each coral. The rectangles are slightly larger than the cardboard pattern.

We thin out the marshmallow foamiran through sheets of office paper. To get corals, take three rectangles, fold them in a pile and put a cardboard pattern on top and iron them through the paper.

These are the coral prints we got.

Then we cut out the corals along the cleats.

From the prepared blue marshmallow foamiran we cut out the petals for the star flower.

How to assemble a hair comb with your own hands: step-by-step photos

Using lilac oil pastels we tint the edges of the petals on both sides.

We bend the petals in half, heat them on the edge of the iron and pull out the petal. Then we heat the edge of the petals and make waves.

We process four-petal circles in the same way as single ones, each petal separately.

We take a strip of blue foamiran and glue it over the edge of the comb for attaching decorations. And cut out a small circle for the base of the flower.

We process the corals with an iron, heating at maximum and bend them to your taste.

Glue the corals on both sides of the scallop symmetrically.

And in the middle of the comb on the base we begin to collect a flower in the form of an asterisk, five petals in a circle.

So we glue three rows of five petals. We glue the second row a little closer to the center than the first and glue it between the petals of the first row in a checkerboard pattern. The second one is even closer to the center and between the petals of the second row. Glue two four-petal circles into the middle.

Take a 0.5 cm bead and cover it with blue foamiran.

Glue a processed bead into the center of the flower.

We take 0.3 cm or 0.2 cm beads and decorate the corals, glue 3-4 pieces.

We take 10-8 cm beaded wire, put a bead on each wire and bend the wire in half and twist it. Then we wind the wire with the bead onto the stick in the form of a spiral. We connect 3 wires together and attach them to the corals

We made this hair decoration from foamiran with our own hands. If you have small shells, you can glue them on corals or near a star flower.

Wedding decoration made of foamiran: master class on assembling a boutonniere

This is the kind of boutonniere we will create for the groom at the master class.

For the boutonniere we will create three roses and a sprig of leftover.

We will create roses without separate patterns.

To create a white rose, cut out squares of 2*2 cm from white foamiran - 11 pieces, 3.5*3.5 cm - 12 pieces.

We cut out petals in the form of droplets from the squares.

Heat the petals on an iron at silk-wool temperature, fold them like an accordion and rub them between your fingers, straighten and stretch them, make a depression in the middle of the petal. We process the edge of the petals 3.5*3.5 cm on the edge of the iron and slightly twist it.

Take a piece of foil 4.5*4.5 cm and form a droplet at the base of the rose and glue the droplet onto wire No. 28-30 - 8-10 cm.

We take 3 small petals and cover a drop of foil, covering it so that the foil is not visible.

For the second row we glue 3 small petals slightly overlapping in a circle. We also glue 5 petals overlapping the third row.

Then we glue 7 larger petals, glue the last petal in a circle and place it under the first petal. The rose is ready.

Cut out a sepal from olive foam.

We heat the sepals on an iron at silk-wool temperature and rub them between our fingers and straighten them. Then glue it to the rose.

We also form a pink rose without separate patterns.

We cut out 3.5*3 cm rectangles from pale pink foamiran. We cut out 23-25 ​​petals for one rose.

From rectangles we cut out petals in the form of droplets.

We heat the petals on an iron at silk-wool temperature, fold them like an accordion and grind them. We straighten and pull out 10-11 petals. We process the remaining petals on the edge of the iron and twist the edge of the petals, making one or two tucks at a time.

We also make the base of the rose out of foil.

We glue the base of the foil with even petals, covering the foil.

Then we glue 3 petals with two tucks.

Then glue 5 petals in a circle, overlapping.

Then we glue the petals overlapping 7 pieces, straight-twisted petals. The rose is ready, glue the sepals to it.

Using a hole punch, we cut out the petals of the “Levkoy” flower from lilac foamiran. We process it with an iron and process it with bulk. We heat some of the petals slightly without treating them with bulk.

We take 2 petals of light and dark lilac, 2 processed with bulk and 2 heated on an iron and 2 double stamens. We fold the stamens in half and put the petals on them and glue them.

We take wire No. 28-30, make a loop at the end and put on the petal, seal the loop with the petal. Then we begin to attach one flower at a time to the wire, securing it with white tape. So we attach all the flowers in a checkerboard pattern, forming a “Levkoy” branch.

Then we collect three roses and a sprig of “Levkoy” together.

We take several pieces of wire 15-20 cm and treat it with tape.

We form several decorative wires. I make three by winding them on a round stick and connecting three with rings.

We take the wire treated with tape and a clasp for the brooch.

We pass the wire through the holes of the fastener.

Then we connect both ends of the wire and twist them.

We take a piece of green foamiran and glue it on both sides to the fastener, designed to secure the fastener more firmly.

We attach the clasp to the decorative details of the boutonniere. And we treat the handle of the boutonniere (stem) of the flowers and the decorative details and fastening wire with tape.

Foamiran jewelry. About the properties of this material

• The material is very soft, pliable and flexible, especially if you hold a small piece of fom in your hands, it begins to “melt”. But real miracles happen when foamiran is heated more strongly. If you cut rose petals from a sheet and then apply an iron to the workpiece (heating temperature “linen”), then the foam rubber becomes so plastic that it can be compressed, stretched in different directions, pressed. When heated, the foam contracts and stretches best. Instead of an iron, it is more convenient to use hair curlers. It is enough to pull the blank through the curling iron - and in front of you is a new one, like a real flower petal. In addition to the iron and tongs, you can use a hair dryer, and if you need to work with small workpieces, you can apply them to the heated nozzle of a glue gun (you need to clean the hole from glue in advance).

• Besides stretching and shrinking, foam is very easy to cut with scissors or a knife. The simplest scissors will do. And in order to do the job efficiently, it is advisable to cut the sheet of foam on a special rubberized backing. If you need to make a wavy edge of the workpiece, then you need to use scissors with a curly end, and then slightly stretch the workpiece along the edge with your fingers.
• But this is not all that foamiran is capable of - the thinnest sheets of foam (1 mm thick) can be squeezed out with a shaped hole punch, which means that new opportunities open up for needlewomen.
• To prevent the foam sheet from getting stuck in the hole punch hole, you need to place a thin sheet of plain paper (you can even use newspaper) under the bottom along with the sheet of foam. The edges of the workpiece will be smooth and neat.
• Foamiran has many advantages, it stretches easily, you can give the product the desired shape, cut out a shape with scissors or a knife. But what foam does not tolerate is contact with sharp objects. If you carelessly run something sharp across a sheet of foam, marks will remain on the surface. On the one hand, this is a disadvantage, and on the other, an advantage. Because for their work, many craftsmen use templates that can be traced directly onto a sheet of foam material with a toothpick, sharpened pencil or awl.
• Foamiran is a non-toxic material and is easy to clean with water. Even the finished product can, if necessary, be washed under running water and nothing will happen to it! As for the safety of this material for needlework, you can safely give the kids leaves of foam so that they develop their imagination and make crafts on their own.

Handmade foamiran jewelry is very popular. You can make stunningly beautiful works from this material:

Neck decoration made of foamiran:

How to make hair decorations from foamiran with your own hands

We have figured out the properties of foamiran; you can try to make a simple head decoration from foamiran yourself: a hairpin or headband. Let's start simple and make a hair clip.

What we need:

• sheet of white foamiran;
• yellow and pink dry pastels;
• wet wipes;
• petal blanks;
• awl or toothpick;
• stamens are white;
• scissors;
• glue gun;
• automatic hairpin

How to make a hairpin:

1. In order to make a medium-sized flower (diameter 8 cm), you need to buy a standard sheet of white foamiran (A4 format).
2. Attach flower templates (3 pieces of different sizes) to a sheet of foam, outline the outline with something sharp. Even a non-writing pen will do.
3. Cut out the petals along the contour.
4. Now we take a yellow pastel, draw not an outline along the edge, but rather fill the space of each blank, heading towards the center.
5. Now you need to take a damp napkin and rub it over the blank, or you can do it differently: rub the dry pastel stick with the napkin and paint the petal blanks. The result will be a delicate yellowish tint.
6. You need to do the same with pink chalk, just color the outline and, as it were, stretch the color, making it deeper from the edge of the petal to the center.
7. In total you will get 8 blanks, 3 of which (central) need to be made more contrasting, darker in color.
8. To add texture to each petal, you need to use an iron. Turn it on to the “Wool” position and heat each petal individually. Press the sole of the iron against the workpiece and hold it for several minutes. The petals will become softer and rise a little.
9. Now, quickly, before the petals have time to cool, you need to twist them into a tube (first fold them in half). You will get a bud.
10. When the petals have cooled, they need to be straightened, slightly stretching along the edge. The petal should be thinner towards the edge.
11. Now assembling the flower. Foamiran can be glued using either special glue or hot glue. In this case, it is advisable to use moment-crystal glue, but if you don’t have such glue at home, then you can also glue all the petals together sequentially with hot glue.
12. The petals need to be glued together in rows, from larger to smaller pieces. When you finish the work, insert a toothpick into the middle so that the workpiece sticks together correctly and does not fall apart.
13. Let the flower dry for now, and we will make the stamens. To do this, we will use a thin wire of a light shade; we need to tie up the stamens, fold them in half, and pull them by the wire into the center of our flower.
14. On the wrong side you need to tie the ends of the wire several times and trim off the excess.
15. All that remains is to attach a hairpin or elastic band. To do this we will use hot glue. If you glue an elastic band, then you need to glue a piece of foamiran on top of it so that the hairpin does not fall apart.

Using the same principle, you can make a decoration from foamiran - a hair comb.

• ready-made stamens;
• dry pastel or acrylic paints, brush;
• markers;
• cardboard;

Making a lily from foamiran with your own hands:

1. We make our own preparation of lily petals. Draw an outline on a sheet of cardboard and cut it out with scissors.
2. The petal size is 6 cm in diameter. The template must be attached to a sheet of foam, outline the outline with any sharp object (you can use scissors) to cut along the outline. You should get 6 white petals.
3. You will need pink and lilac pastels or acrylic paints to tint the blanks on one side and the other.
4. To give texture to each petal, you need to try to make veins by hand. To do this you will need a toothpick and an iron. Heat one piece with an iron; as soon as you see that the material becomes soft and pliable, you need to draw stripes with a toothpick before the petal has time to cool.
5. Now you need to warm up the edges of the petal and give them a waviness, slightly stretching the material with your fingers.
6. At the bottom of each blank, use a brown felt-tip pen to draw dots, like a real flower.
7. Now let's get down to preparing the stamens and pistils. You need to make a bouquet from stamens and pistils, use thin wire (0.3 mm). We twist it and insert it into the middle of the flower.
8. Now we cut out leaves from green foam and also heat them over the iron to give each leaf a texture.
9. Hot glue the leaves to the petals on the back side.

The beautiful flower is ready, now show your imagination and figure out where it can be used. And we give you a hint: you can decorate your home with delicate and beautiful flowers from foamiran.

How to make wedding decorations from foamiran with your own hands

The most beautiful and most delicate royal flower is the rose. These flowers are given to loved ones and only people. No wedding celebration is complete without a beautiful bouquet of roses. You can make a beautiful decoration from foamiran for the bride and her friends.

How to make a rose from foamiran and what you will need, we will find out further:

• 2 sheets of pink and soft green foamiran;
• foil;
• scissors and glue;
• rose petal preparations.

Let's make a beautiful rose together with you:

1. If you don’t have a blank, you can make it yourself from thick cardboard. Draw the petals and cut them out. Experienced needlewomen simply fold a sheet of pink foamiran into several layers, draw a petal with a simple pencil and cut it out immediately with scissors. The important thing here is not to worry that nothing will work out. On the contrary, it is important to ensure that, as in nature, the petals are not the same.
2. In total you will need 10 petals: 5 large and the same number of small ones.
3. You need to warm the petals one by one with an iron, and then stretch the edges with your fingers to make them wavy.
4. Let's start assembling the rose: roll a ball out of a piece of foil, wrap the smallest petal around the ball, and fix it with hot glue. You will get a cone.
5. We glue each petal sequentially in a checkerboard pattern. First you will get a small bud.
6. Now you need to attach the large petals, and then turn on the iron and heat the edges of the rose petals.
7. We cut out leaves from a sheet of light green foam, also apply them to the iron, slightly twist them into a tube, but do not press them too hard. We unfold it and get ready-made leaves.
8. They need to be glued to the rose bud on the back side with hot glue.

The beautiful rose is ready. You can make several of these roses and assemble them into a wreath:

DIY foamiran jewelry. How to decorate glasses with foamiran

And again we will make beautiful and very delicate roses. But the execution technique is slightly different from the previous master class.

Let's prepare the following:

• white foamiran sheet;
• glue "Moment";
• glasses;
• half beads for pearls;
• contour paint for working on glass;
• a piece of sponge for washing dishes;
• silver acrylic paints;
• sheet of cardboard, pencil, scissors.

Decorating glasses:

1. On a sheet of cardboard we draw a heart-shaped blank.
2. We cut it out, apply the blank to a white sheet of foamiran, outline the outline with a sharp object, and cut it out with ordinary scissors.
3. For 1 glass you need to prepare 10-12 petals.
4. Each petal needs to be heated with an iron, the warm material is stretched with your fingers in the middle so that the petal turns out to be convex.
5. Each petal, while it is still warm, is twisted into a loose flagellum and straightened.
6. Preparing glasses: wash thoroughly under running water with detergent, wipe, and treat with glass surface cleaner.
7. It is best to work at this stage with gloves so as not to leave fingerprints on the glass.
8. Using acrylic paint we put small dots on the stem of the glass, then we tint the stem of the glass and especially the place where the flower will be attached with white paint. This is exactly how you can hide unevenness and drops of glue.
9. We are waiting for the paint to dry and we can begin the most important thing - assembling the rose.
10. Place the glass on a flat surface with the stem up, and glue the petals in sequence. We make sure that the petals do not move apart and are not attached too closely to each other. You need to achieve naturalness so that the petals lie beautifully.
11. Also pay attention to the fact that the glass is comfortable for the bride and groom to hold in their hand, therefore, before gluing the first petal, you need to take the glass in your hand to understand all its functionality.
12. We glue the petals with “Moment” or “Titan” glue. You need to apply glue to the glass, attach the petal, press it - wait.
13. The first row of petals has been glued, now the next row - the petals can be glued onto the foamiran, and this is a little easier. The main thing is to twist it a little while working, and if necessary, then glue the petals in the right places.
14. We try to work as carefully as possible, because this is a wedding accessory - and there should be no drips, smeared glue, uneven strokes or fingerprints on it. The work must be done as carefully as possible.
15. We wait for the petals to stick together, and then we move on to decorating the rose’s stem.
16. It is necessary to glue half beads under pearls around the stem of the flower as carefully as possible. To make your work more accurate, buy glue-based beads.
17. Before using glasses, they need to be wiped and preferably stored in a cardboard box. If you doubt that everything will work out the first time, we recommend practicing on ordinary glass glasses.

In the summer, various hair decorations become especially popular; they look very stylish and help complete the created image. It’s quite easy to make beautiful foamiran headbands with your own hands, the most important thing is to be patient and follow the instructions step by step.

To make a headband using flowers from foamiran, the master class of which is quite simple, you initially need to prepare special materials and tools.

• Thick fabric;
• Lace;
• Headband.

To make a headband with roses from foamiran, you first need to make the flowers themselves. To make roses, you need to cut out the petals from foamiran, lay them out on a hot iron, and when they are hot, stretch the middle of each petal with your hands and bend the edges to give it credibility. When all the petals are prepared, you need to collect them into a flower, pasting over a base made of a piece of foil, which needs to be twisted into a roller shape.

The leaves also need to be warmed up and veins drawn on them, and also twisted a little so that they look like real ones. Flowers need to be collected by attaching green leaves to them. Then you need to cut out 2 ovals for the base. Make several cuts on one oval and thread it into the prepared rim, and attach the second base to the first.

You need to glue roses onto the prepared base, as well as additional decorations to completely cover the entire space of the base. On the opposite side of the headband you need to decorate the base with lace.

Crocus flowers look very beautiful and elegant in the headband, which can be collected into a beautiful bouquet.

• Purple, yellow and olive foamiran;
• Template paper;
• Toothpicks;
• Wire;
• Iron;
• Hot glue;

The leaves can be made in any shape, the most important thing is that they fit the overall composition. Then you need to cut out a lot of petals from purple foamiran, and prepare the middle from yellow material. To make the middle, you need to cut a strip 2 cm wide and cut it into fringe, slightly short of the edge. The strips should be quite thin.

To make the petals, you need to place the blanks on a preheated iron, and then twist them a little. Cut the wire into equal lengths of approximately 3 centimeters and attach a small strip of fringe to one end.

After this, you need to fasten the petals one at a time around the fringe, distributing them evenly, so that you end up with a beautiful flower. Each flower should have 3 petals. When everything is ready, you need to prepare the leaves from olive foamiran in the same way.

Leaves and flowers must be attached sequentially. First you need to attach several leaves to the rim, and then glue flowers on them. The ends of the wire should be strictly located on the same line, and the reverse side of the rim should be very beautiful and neat. When all the flowers are secured, you need to cover the wire with several leaves. The headband can be complemented with a beautiful ribbon if only part of it is filled with flowers.

Each petal needs to be heated a little with an iron and the middle stretched a little, thereby giving them a convex shape. Lightly tint the edges of the petals with yellow pastel.

From a strip of white foamiran, cut out a clove-shaped blank for the center of the future flower. The teeth need to be leaned against a hot iron for a few seconds, and then using hot glue, glue them together with the curls facing outward. To make a milky flower, you need to cut out small petals, twist them, and then straighten them to add texture. Then wrap one petal around several stamens and glue two more petals. Cut petals in the shape of a drop from pink foamiran, and then heat them up and give them a wavy shape. You need to collect a flower from several petals around yellow stamens. Drape the headband with a satin ribbon, and then glue chiffon flowers to it at equal distances. Then evenly distribute the foamiran flowers along the rim to form a finished composition.
