HANDMADE STOCKING FLOWERS
Today I am sharing a quick and
easy tutorial on making simple and cute stocking flowers or nylon flowers.
 |
The best thing about these
flowers is that, you can shape the petals in any desirable form you want! Since
you wrap a loop of wire in stocking it makes the petals flexible. Stocking
flowers can be used as decoration in vases, jewelry, gift boxes, candles and
accessories. You can use them to refashion an old item in your room.
You
will need:
§ Any cylindrical object (nail polish bottle,
medicine bottle etc)
§ Stocking net
§ Floral tape
§ Nylon thread
§ Stamens
§ Wire
§ Plier
§ scissors
Flower Tutorial:
Wind the
wire around the bottle, twist and cut with the help of the plier.
Now cover it up with stocking
net. And thread the end tightly.
Cut the excess stocking net
with the scissors.
(This technique may seem
difficult in the start. But know that as you continue to make petals
It will become easier, to
stretch nylon on the wires.)
.You will need five petals to make each flower
Use the
thread to join the stamens first.
And
then thread each petal to the stem one at a time.
Wrap
the floral tape around the stem wire. This will hide the thread and wire below
the petals.
And the
flower is ready.
Put a few artificial leaves, ribbons and use it to decorate a gift box, candles or anything you like!
