How to Make a Gentle Alstroemeria from Foamiran

Today I want to tell you how I create hair accessories with delicate flowers of Alstroemeria — a hair pick and a clasp.

To create the Alstroemeria colors and accessories with them, you will need the following:

  • marshmallow thinned foamiran;
  • Iranian foamiran;
  • Iranian green foamiran;
  • scissors;
  • orange stick;
  • iron;
  • oil pastel;
  • dry pastel;
  • acrylic paint;
  • brush;
  • wire;
  • superglue;
  • PVA glue;
  • glue gun;
  • semolina;
  • tape;
  • hair pick;
  • clasp.

I cut out a necessary number of petals from marshmallow thinned foamiran.

Alstroemeria flower consists of 5 petals.

Alstroemeria petals have peculiar as if torn edges. With the help of an orange stick I get a desired effect:

I don't have mold for Alstromeria, so I use orange stick to draw the veins on each petal:

Then, I slightly tone top and down parts of each petal:

Also, I draw veins and tone the petals completely to use it to make flower buds:

After that, I tone each petal with pink pastel. Toning should not be even:

I add yellow to the middles of large petals:

I draw freckles on the petals of medium size:

It's time to create stamens.

I cut strips in the form of a cone from Iranian foamiran.

I put a tip of each stamen into PVA glue, and then into semolina:

Also, I slightly tone stamens with soft pink shade:

The Alstroemeria flower has 6 stamens and one pistil.

I make a pistil from ordinary wire, on the tip of which I put a drop of glue by glue gun.

I fix the pistil and 6 stamens together, so that the stamens round the pistil evenly.

How to make a flower:

I glue 2 medium-sized petals to the pistil and stamens.

Then, I glue the smallest petal in front of them and 2 large petals after that:

I paint the pistil head with green acrylic paint and the stamens heads with brown acrylic paint:

With the help of tape, I create a flower "bump" at the base of each flower:

Creation of buds.

I round the top of a wire with a thin strip from Iranian foamiran:

I cut off the corners, trying to smooth the shape of buds:

I glue that with previously prepared petals:

Creating leaves.

From Iranian foamiran of olive color, I cut out leaves of various shape and size:

I slightly tone them with green oil pastel and draw veins on each leaf with an orange stick:

I make the leaves look alive by sipping their edges in different directions, and I glue the wire to the back of each leaf:

A hair pick.

As a plastic base for a hair pick:

I start making it by applying the leaves to the base and fixing them with tape:

To avoid thickening, I cut off unnecessary wires in the process:

I add the flowers at the end:

A clasp.

The creation of a clasp is similar to what I did with the hair pick:

Here is the result :)
