How to make beautiful flowers from organza and veil yourself

Hand-made flower decorations are in fashion now. When buying ready-made handmade flowers, you will have to fork out, because handmade ones are highly valued. But if you make them yourself, the material costs will be much less.

Several examples for beginners on how to make flowers from organza with your own hands.

Volumetric rose from organza and satin: step-by-step master class

Why are two types of fabric used? Organza itself is very light and airy. Using another type of fabric, denser in structure, adds additional volume to the flower. This makes it possible to make denser flowers with your own hands from organza. In addition, this technique adds zest to the flower, allows you to play with shades.

To complete the work, in addition to the fabric, you will need the following materials: scissors, needle, thread, candle, glue gun, template.

Sequence of work:

1. Prepare circle templates of different diameters. You can use improvised means, for example, glasses and cups of different diameters. You can use ready-made templates.
2. Trace circles with a pencil on both types of fabric, cut out. The number of petals is about 10 (±) of each type. If you need a huge rose, then you need to use templates of the maximum diameter.
3. Scorch the edges over a candle. The edges of the petals will curve slightly, which will give a more natural look.

Assembling the rose: Take three petals, roll them into a roll and secure with a thread. This will be the center of the bud.

Then gradually add petals, fixing them with a thread. In this case, the petals need to be shifted to the side so that they do not overlap each other exactly, but lie randomly. As soon as it becomes inconvenient to stitch the bud with a needle, you need to switch to a hot glue gun: apply a little glue to the petal and press it to the bud. And so on until you get a rose of the required size. From green fabric, you can add green leaves. The rose made of organza and satin is ready.

An interesting result is achieved by combining different shades.

Rolled rose (organza or voile)

To make such a rose, it is more convenient to use organza ribbon, which needs to be folded in half and sewn using a sewing machine or by hand.

Then the process of forming the bud begins: the fabric is gradually wrapped and fixed with threads. When the rose reaches the desired size, you need to secure the thread.

Organza Topiary

Organza topiary, like all types of topiary, consists of a crown, a trunk and a pot with fixing filler.

The crown is a base ball that is decorated. An organza flower can be the only decorative element, but the decorative element "fan" or "funny" is also common.

1. Cut out squares, for example 12x12 cm (the size can be easily changed).
2. Fold the squares into triangles so that the corners are slightly off-center.
3. Fold the triangles into an accordion in 3 folds.
4. Glue it to a toothpick (you can simply fix it with a stapler, then glue it directly to the base ball)

Light decorative elements made of organza are very convenient for topiary design: the crown is light, which makes it easier to secure. Instead of traditional plaster and alabaster, you can use alternative options for fixing the trunk in a pot:

• mounting foam;
• cereals or pasta;
• clay, earth or sand;
• papier-mâché mass;
• polystyrene foam;
• plasticine;

How to make a rose from organza using the kanzashi technique

The "kanzashi" technique is also called the folding technique, because pieces of fabric are folded into petals, and a flower is assembled from the petals. The standard shape of a petal in kanzashi is a sharp petal. For a rose, it is necessary to form petals of a different shape.

The manufacturing process will be shown on a 5cm wide strip.

Progress of work:

1. Cut a 12 cm long ribbon.
2. Fold one corner and start sewing the ribbon with large stitches. Then fold the other edge and sew it.
3. Carefully tighten the ribbon to form a semicircular petal.

4. Assembling the rose: take one petal, roll it into the shape of a bud and secure it with a thread. Sew the remaining petals to the bud as well, gradually forming a flower.

There is another way to decorate the central part of the bud. For this, instead of twisted petals at the beginning, you can take some dense base: it can be a round ball, for example, a Christmas tree one, or a lump of padding polyester. It is pasted over with material and then flat petals are placed on the volumetric base.

When the rose becomes more lush, the petals can be glued with a glue gun.

Flowers made using the kanzashi technique are most often used to make hair decorations (hair bands, hairpins, headbands, headbands, clips, combs, etc.).

DIY organza flowers made in other techniques are used for decoration. For example, at a wedding, such floral decor will add an ethereal, romantic touch.

For room decoration, you can sew them onto a sofa cushion, curtain tiebacks, make a panel, put a bouquet in a vase or simply fill a glass bowl. You can decorate souvenirs and decorative elements for jewelry, handbags, boxes, cosmetic bags, wallets, shoes, etc. Women can wear them in their hair, on their wrist, jacket, coat, dress, hat or belt around the waist... The options are endless.

In conclusion, it can be added that organza and veil are grateful materials. Not all fabrics are suitable for work. In handicrafts, such material is convenient that is easy to process, holds its shape well, is transparent and weightless, but at the same time durable.

Although flowers made of organza and veils are created with your own hands using a similar algorithm, the veil, being transparent and light, is fragile and easily torn. Products made of organza easily tolerate both washing and heat treatment. Working with these fabrics will not be difficult even for beginner needlewomen.
