Wedding headband made of foamiran
A convenient, affordable material that is practical and brightly colored is foamiran. Stylish hairstyles with a headband of flowers are done not only for girls, but even for weddings.
Important! Foamiran is a very soft material that can easily change shape when heated.
Required:
- foamiran in white and pink (lilac) and green shades;
- Super glue;
- warm iron;
- green ribbon;
- foil;
- scissors;
- thin wire;
- beads of different sizes;
- headband
Designers always use wedding floral headbands for the bride and bridesmaids in styles: boho, eco and ethnic styles, rustic, Provence, country, vintage.
Stages of work:
- Cut the foamiran into small squares measuring 2 cm by 2 cm. For example, 20 pieces from white foam, and 15 pieces from pink foam.
- Then cut out flower petals from the squares.
- To give the petals a semicircular shape, you need a warm iron or radiator. When heating the workpiece, we pull out each petal with our fingers, forming a beautiful shape.
- For the base of the buds, it is better to take foil and make a small “pear” onto which we attach the petals with glue. We make buds and flowers of different colors.
- For a stem of greenish foam, you need to cut out a sepal to fit the finished bud. Glue a flower on it.
- Form a stem from the wire and wrap it with green ribbons.
- We fix the finished parts on the rim with superglue.
You can decorate the product with large beads for contrast. This is a great gift for a girl or for a wedding with natural styles.
