In order for everything to work out well, adhere to the following recommendations:

1. Cut tulle into square blanks for petals 3 and 4 cm in size. Such need about 25 pieces.
2. Next with these squares, we cut out petals for our roses.
3. We process each element with a soldering iron or we burn it on a candle flame. This is to ensure that in time the edges are not disheveled.

Important! Remove the fabric from the fire as soon as it starts to melt.

1. Cover the petals with hairspray. This will help them not to lose form.
2. The first petal is pulled down at the bottom of the thread, threaded into the needle, and fix it. This is our foundation.
3. Next lobe grasp the previous one and connect them in this position.
4. Repeat the action in a circle until the end of the workpiece.

The result is amazing. The product which should turn out as a result, is very similar only to the blossoming tender rose.

Lotus

The production sequence is as follows:

1. Drawing on the cardboard blanks for the petals - dome-shaped outlines of two sizes. One is 55 mm high and 47 mm wide. The second one is 49 mm high and 42 mm wide.
2. Using a soldering iron for a fabric on a hard surface, cut out 24 large and 6 small petals. Bottom of them do more than on the workpiece, - this is the allowance for sewing the workpiece to the base.
3. The lower allowance is cut in a semicircle approximately 7 mm from the base at the widest point.
4. From the curtains, we cut out 3 strips measuring 40 by 5 mm.
5. Now give the petals a shape. To do this, press the workpiece in the middle so that the edges of the cut near the stock allow, and your petal forms a ring. At the junction of these points, solder them with a soldering iron or use glue. As a result of these actions, you will form a petal.
6. We cut the base from the felt with a diameter of 5 cm in diameter.
7. We begin to sew the petals in a circle along the layers starting from the outside. The first 3 layers - large petals of 8 pcs. The last and the remaining 6 - small. If you did everything according to the instructions, then your petals formed 4 rows of lotus and there was room for decorating the middle of the flower.
8. Seredinku decorate with beads in the tone of the material.
9. The harvested ribbons are decorated with beads around the edges and sew each middle to the bottom of our lotus.

The product is ready!

Important! Such a lotus will look very good on brooches and hairpins.

Aster

Then follow the instructions:

1. Cut the rectangles stacked on top of each other. Fatin top, bottom tulle.
2. We gather in accordion our workpiece. The size of one fold is 2 cm.
3. The assembled accordion is folded in half in width and fixed with a thin rope.
4. Each bend of the accordion is cut at an angle, forming an interesting cut of the petal on the flower.
5. Now we are forming a full flower. To begin with, straighten the tulle to form a circle.
6. Raise the layer of the tulle up.
7. We form the petals, gently and evenly spread the tulle over the tulle blank.

Important! If the tulle does not hold the shape well, then it can be fixed at the base with a drop of glue.
