    Next with m - seal flower making tutorials.........

    Materials Required : m-seal , fevicol, talcum powder, any cylindrical bottle or rolling pin, craft knife, paper, Item on which flowers are to be pasted.
    Method:
    1)Mix the two halves of m-seal properly till it is a uniform whitish gray.
    2)Place a piece of paper on your table and dust it with talcum powder.
    3)Put the m-seal dough on your paper and roll it out like a roti. It should be 2 mm thick
    4) Draw a template of petals of the flower you wish to make on a piece of paper.
    5)Place that template on your rolled out mseal. Dab it with your fingers so that it sticks a little to the surface of the mseal.
    6)With a knife cut out the petal, sliding the knife along the edges of the template, while holding the template steady with the fingers of your other hand.
    7)Cut out all your petals. See the video on how to cut flower petals. I am using one hand because I had to hold the camera with the other one.
    8)With the back end of your knife make veins on your petal if required.(Some flower petals have veins). It depends on your flower. I am making an Azalea which has veined petals.
    9)Paste petals one by one on the item you with the flower to be .
    10)M-seal typically takes 20 min to dry thoroughly . Shape your petals after 7/8 minutes of cutting or else they will lose their shape.
    11)To shape the flower properly, keep shaping the petals a few times while drying because again they may lose shape while drying.

    Next with stocking flowers.......

    Flower Making - Colourful Stocking flowers


    Stocking flowers, the most beautiful and creative one. Its a very interesting craft that you can try out. The main thing you will need for making stocking flower is lot of aluminium wire as everything you need to make is with the wire itself

    Materials:
    1. Stocking Cloth (different colours)
    2. Aluminium wire
    3. Flower thread
    4. Pips
    5. Green tape

    Method:
    1. Firstly think of the petal of any flower that you would like to make, take a piece aluminium wire and make the shape of the petal with the wire.

    2. Tie both the ends of wire tightly and now take stocking cloth and cover the wire completely.

    3. Make sure the stocking cloth is stretched completely so that it looks like shaded cloth and tie the end tightly. In this way make as many petals you want for flower.

    4. Take some 4-5 pips and tie it using a piece of aluminium wire, then arrange petals one by one to the wire.

    In this way you can come out with this beautiful creation.

    Here is one for you.

    Next with straw flowers.....


    Straw Flower Sticks






    [​IMG]



    For this project you need: bamboo sticks and straws.

    Flatten the straw using a letter opener, scissors or a knife.
    [​IMG]

    Then twist it in half with the lead end on the right.[​IMG]


    Take the second end and lift it up counterclockwise over the lead end.
    [​IMG]

    Hold the upper part firmly with your thumb and forefinger.Then take the lead and do the same, putting it over the second end (counterclockwise). Work like this in circles until you get about six 'petals'.​

    [​IMG]

    It should look like this. There are five petals here..
    [​IMG]
    ..and with the sixth one ready, slide it underneath like shown.
    [​IMG]
    Work in circles, sliding the ends underneath the "main part" until you get to the end. You'll end with a short piece like this.​

    Either cut it off or insert it between the layers.
    [​IMG]

    Here it is. A little flower.
    [​IMG]

    Take a bamboo stick and push it through the centre of the flower.
    [​IMG]

    Stick as many as you like.
    Another idea: If you use toothpicks you can make tiny flowery bouquets.​
