Recommendations before you start
Before you start working with balloons, you need to read some recommendations that will facilitate the process of making the composition:
- For beginners, modeling is best done while sitting at a table with a flat surface so that nothing falls from it and does not distract from the process of creating flowers from balloons with your own hands.
- Long balloons are best inflated with a pump, since it is rather difficult to inflate with your mouth.
- When working, it is better to keep the balls away from the face.
- Balloons should not be inflated too much duringmodeling they may burst.
- Long balloons lose their shape when re-inflated, this fact is important to consider. Also, do not twist round balls, they are not designed for this.
- Before modeling, nails must be cut and jewelry removed. If the material is electrified, it is advisable to degrease the hands. Some balloons are coated with talcum powder, which can stain dark clothes.
- To make the finished figure look neat, twisting is performed in one direction.
Make flowers out of sausages
To make decorations from "sausages" you will need balls of green and any other bright color.
Make a flower out of a balloon:
- The balloon is inflated so that 5 cm are left without air.
- From the side of the inflation hole, a small “sausage” is twisted with two turns. Then the same segment is measured with it and twisted in the same way. The result should be six identical "sausages".
- The air is released from the remaining ball and the workpiece is tied with a ring.
- To form a petal, the "sausage" is folded in half and twisted twice. Do the same with all six bubbles. The petals are flattened into a flower shape.
- The green balloon is inflated and twisted into a small piece at the end. Then it is folded in half and twisted - this is the future core of the flower.
- The green ball is threaded through the hole of the first part. The flower is ready.
Stalks
Stems for flowers from balloons can be made in differentways, make them with or without petals.
Option 1:
- A long green balloon is inflated. At the end, two green balloons are alternately twisted at the place of inflation.
- Bubbles are tied to the base, and then each is twisted in one direction and the other. This option is more suitable for tying to a flower.
Option 2:
- Inflate a green balloon. From one end, the segment recedes and twists, then it is folded again and twisted in half.
- A ring is made in the middle of the stem and twisted - this is the first leaf. A little lower, another ring is made and twisted - this is the second petal.
Option 3:
- Inflate a green balloon. 10-15 cm retreat from the knot and twist. Then they are folded in half and twisted again by the already known method. Then thread through the flower.
- The main stem is folded like an accordion and twisted in the middle to form petals.
Large daisies from balloons and the base for them
If you need a bouquet of flowers from balloons, you can make an arrangement of daisies.
For this, flowers are made according to the following scheme:
- Inflate two large round balloons, twist twice and tie together. Then they do the same with two more balls, and tie one inflated ball to them.
- Two parts, one of two, the other of three balls, are twisted to form a daisy.
- Inflate a small ball in a contrasting color and leave a long tail, thread through the center of the flower, and tie.
- Camomile basemade from a long green ball, as in the first master class. Should be a five leaf flower.
- The base is tied to the bottom of the chamomile, and then the stem is attached.
