How to make peonies from foamiran and isolon for a 12 year wedding anniversary?
If you decide to celebrate the holiday on a grand scale, then the venue can be decorated with huge flowers.
These are easy to make from isolone. By purchasing this material, you will make growth flowers. First, you need to cut out the petals from the isolon. Then their ends are heated with a hair dryer and twisted.
Now these adorable petals are glued together to make a flower.
If the isolon is heated, it will soften. Then the petals from this material can be easily bent, stretched to give them a natural color.
If you then attach the peony to the wall, then you don't have to make a stem to it. In this case, attach the punched tape to the back.
Then also attach a piece of punched tape to the wall and attach flowers here using clamps or paper clips.
If the flower will stand, then it is necessary to attach a plastic pipe with a diameter of 40 mm to it, which will turn into a stem. To do this, you need to cut it on one side to make 6 segments. Glue this blank to the hole in the petals. On top, you will lay down the rest of the petals. Attach a sepal made of plastic or isolon downwards.
It is best to use a metal-plastic tube as a stem, which can be bent in a spiral, a wave. Leaves from isolon are glued to such a stem. They must also first be cut from this fabric, then bend, make the edges wavy using glue.
If you need to make several colors, then use a stand. Plastic pipes are welded to it.
If you do not have the opportunity to make such a structure, then cut pipes from plastic, place them in a bucket of this material, decorate it. Then the stems of artificial peonies are installed in these tubes, the horizontal surface is also decorated.
Color the petals if you wish. For this, you can use acrylic enamel, spray paint or rubber paint.
Place the blossoming bud on the wall, then you can turn it into a lamp in the form of a sconce or floor lamp. Such a thing will come in handy not only during the celebration of 12 years of the wedding, but also for a pink wedding.
When making peonies, you can use different colors of material. But check out what each color means. Then you will use the one that your family needs.
So, here's what the following peony colors mean:
- pink is financial wealth and respect for family members;
- white - sincerity, tenderness, harmony;
- purple - constancy, protection;
- red - fidelity of feelings, ardor, passion;
- yellow - stability, harmony, calmness.
Foamiran is also an excellent material for creativity. Flowers from it are durable, they are not afraid of precipitation. Therefore, just like peonies from isolone, from foamiran, you can place on the street and not be afraid that they will get wet and lose their shape.
Take:
- green, pink, yellow foamiran;
- peony pattern;
- foil;
- wet wipes;
- dry pastel;
- thick wire;
- scissors;
- the cloth;
- iron;
- glue.
You will need 5 types of peony petals.
Now you need to tint each type. So, cover the petals at number two with a yellow bed, at number 4 will be bright pink below, and light pink above.
The same colors must be achieved by decorating the 20 petals, which are numbered five.
The same colors should be achieved by decorating petals at number 3. You will need 10 of them. Now take petals number one, which are pale pink in color, and place a piece of foil in the middle of each, giving this shiny material an oval shape.
Gather the edges of each petal, covering the middle. You get a blank that looks like a dumpling. Glue them together and give a light green color using a pastel of this color, and glue them on the wire.
On the petals number 3, make half-petal cuts at the corners. Now each such workpiece needs to be heated by putting it on the iron, then folded with an accordion and scrolled between your fingers. After that, you need to straighten the petals and heat them again on the iron. Where there was an incision, it is necessary to make a bend by pulling this part over the finger.
Now take the petals number 4 in turn, also heat them on the iron and fold with an accordion, rubbing between your fingers. You need to straighten them, stretching the middle a little.
Take the first petal at number 5 and fold it in half. Place this blank inside a chiffon or silk rectangle and also fold it in half. The folds of the two materials must match.
Iron this structure with an iron on both sides, then pull the corners of the fabric towards you. Spread the petal out of this canvas and make a depression in the middle of it.
Heat the tops of the petals numbered 2 on both sides, then fold them like an accordion, scroll the top between your fingers. Glue these blanks along the seam to make butterfly-like petals. Glue them in pairs. In total, you will get 10 pairs of such blanks.
To collect a peony from foamiran, in the middle you need to glue the petals at number 3. Arrange them in 2 rows of 5 petals each. Fasten the petals of the second row and the first with a little glue. Glue the petals at number two in a circle, and then attach at number 4, arranging 5 pieces in a row. They should be at the level of the yellow petals.
Attach them with an overlap in a circle. Take pairs of petals at number five and glue them in a checkerboard pattern.
Cut out blanks for the petals and tint them with light green pastels. Cover the edges with a dark green pastel. Tint the sepal in the same way.
Attach the leaves to the litons. In order for the leaves to be slightly wavy, they need to be processed over a lighter flame. Shape the sepal by heating it on an iron and then rubbing it between your fingertips.

Take white foamiran and cut three strips out of it. The length of all is 25 cm. The width of the first is 5, 5 cm; second 5 cm; third 4, 5 cm.
Now cut the longest part of each piece to make it look like a fence. In the narrowest strip, the distance between these "pickets" is small, it is equal to 5 mm. In the remaining strips, this distance is greater.
Take dry pastels and tint two stripes using hot pink. Paint one large yellow.
Cut out the petals from foamiran, the size of each is 5, 5 cm. You will need 12 pieces. Use pink. And the leaves are covered with green pastels.
Process the main petals by heating them on an iron, then folding them with an accordion and rubbing the edges of the petals, pull them out and make a small cup in the middle of the petal. Heat the small petals completely, rub them at the top, then straighten them.
Heat the blanks that look like a fence and rub gently with your fingers. Heat the leaves on an iron and twist their tips.
Now, on the middle made, you need to glue the blank in the form of a pink fence with a width of 4.5 cm, twisting it in two turns. Glue on small petals. Then take the second blank in the form of a fence, pink, and glue small petals to it so that they are staggered to the blanks of the first row. Lastly, glue the blank that looks like a yellow fence. It must be attached to the very edge so that the fringe looks in different directions.
