• beans or beans;
• PVA glue.

Making a Flower

In this master class will be considered the process of creating a flower called "Women's Happiness", scientifically - spathiphyllum. At the first stage it is necessary to make petals. Since this flower has only one, we bend the wadded disk in half and draw a shape that resembles half a drop in shape. Then cut out the line. After completing 5-7 of these blanks, we proceed to collect crafts. Flowers from cotton wool discs do not have to be painted with their own hands, as the spathiphyllum has white petals. But its core is usually yellow. Therefore, you need a cotton swab. Its rod should be stuck with green plasticine, using the smearing technique. The cotton part should be soaked in a jar with yellow gouache and let dry, holding one edge in hands.

Then you need to attach the flower. To do this, grease the wide edge of the cotton pad with PVA glue and wrap around the rod, descending a centimeter from the colored core. Then you need to give a little dry it, let go. The base of the flower is ready.

After a sheet of cardboard should draw a contour of leaves spathiphyllum. In order to be similar in shape to the real ones, you can take a template and outline it. Any medium-sized leaf will do. Drawing a pot and greens, we turn to green plasticine. Using the spreading technique, we apply it first to the edges, and then pull it to the core of the sheet. On thin sections of clay it is more convenient to attach with a match. When the foliage is ready, you will need a toothpick. Using it, natural streaks should be made on the sheets. Thanks to this, a flower made of cotton wool, made by your own hands, will look more plausible.

Create a composition

The next step is to fill the decorative pot of the composition with earth. With the help of plasticine brown and black colors, form small tubers from the soil and press into the appropriate place.

Then you can proceed to attaching the flowers themselves. Buds are fixed on the foliage, and stems made of cotton buds can be lengthened with green plasticine.

Next, decorate the pot. To do this, we take plasticine of any color, you can also use several at once. We smear the material, starting from the edges, and lead to the middle of the pot. Thus we fill the entire surface.

Beans or beans are attached to the top edge of the pot. Of these, you can lay out a decorative pattern or place arbitrarily. Also with the help of legumes, you can fill the entire surface of the pot, then the image will be more voluminous.

In the end of plasticine and beans, it is not superfluous to make a frame. On the perimeter of the cardboard, the material should be smeared with the middle layer. On it in an arbitrary order fasten the beans. That's all, a flower made of cotton wool by own hands is made. A picture can be hung on a wall or put on a dressing table.

The leaves can be taken from artificial flowers, and also made independently, using cardboard. All components must be folded into a prepared vase, which can be decorated with a satin ribbon. It should be tied around a glass and make a beautiful bow.

Lily

A flower made of cotton discs can be made in the form of a garden or water lily. To do this, draw and cut its petals, different in size. Then take the green cardboard and cut out the base. On it in the center it is necessary to attach a ball from plasticine.

Each petal must be glued to a match, which is then inserted into the base. Begin collecting flowers from the lower layers. First, the petals are attached more truly. After reaching the center, the water lily should be closed. If desired, the edge of the petals can be painted with a light pink gouache.
