What is tulip tilde

It includes not only dolls with carefully thought out clothes and accessories, but also a variety of different toys, made in a primitive style. One of such primitive toy-souvenirs is the tilde tulips, the master-class for manufacturing of which will be considered in this article. These primitive flowers have managed to win the hearts of people around the world, striking with their simplicity and beauty at the same time.

Which fabrics are most preferable to make tilde flowers (tulips)

The most pleasant and cozy are tulips from fleece, although in fact you can use absolutely any fabric. Of course, green stems should be chosen for stems and leaves. Very interesting look stalks of tulips from checkered material or from cloth to peas. For buds the most effective will be satin, satin or any other shiny material. Here the most important thing is not to choose knitwear and too dense fabrics. From the color palette, white, yellow and pink are the most advantageous. And also a combination of different options in one bud. Any fabric before starting work should be washed in warm water and ironed.

Tilda-tulips: MK. Tools and materials

First of all, you will need a tissue for buds, leaves and stems. Also needles and threads of all necessary colors. In addition to all of the above, you need scissors, a stick for stuffing and stuffing material. As the last one you can use sintepuh or holofayber. Sometimes a wire is useful. With its help, you can not only strengthen the stem of the flower, but also give it some form. Still you need a sewing machine, but if you do not have it, then you should not get upset. Such flowers can easily be sewn by hand, using the seam "forward needle". And, of course, you can not do without a pattern.

Pattern of tulips

Tulips in the style of tilde, the pattern of which is presented in this article, are not at all complicated to sew. And their patterns are quite simple. True, it is worth noting that the buds have two types of pattern. Rather, it is not the form itself that is different, but the number of parts used to create buds. They can be two or four. Here, in fact, and all the difference. Tulips tilde, the master class of which will be considered below, implies the following dimensions. The detail for the bud has a height of nine centimeters, and its widest part is five and a half centimeters. The leaf of the tulip is wide in the largest area, also five and a half centimeters long, and its length is sixteen and a half centimeters. The detail for the stem is a rectangle with sides of twenty and two centimeters. Of course, do not forget about the allowances for seams.

Create a stem

Any tilde-tulip has a stem. We'll start with it. Take a rectangular piece designed for the stem of a flower. Fold it in half and spend a long side and one of the short ones. The second short remains unstrung for packing. After zastrachivaniya all allowances should be pruned and also cut off the corner and turn out the future stem. Do not cut the fabric against the seam. During the packing process, the stem may disperse. Now it remains to fill our detail. You can simply fill the stem with stuffing material, or you can strengthen it with a wire. Then your tilde-tulip can be bent and fixed in this position.

Making leaves

Any flower can not be imagined without leaves. Also tilde-tulips, photos of which you can see in this article, all contain at least one leaflet. Fold the two sheet details face to face, grind them or sweep and stitch them, leaving the bottom open to be turned. Ideally, if you have the opportunity to trim the allowance with scissors "zigzag". But if you do not have such scissors, then you can simply make notches with usual scissors in curved or specially protruding places. This is necessary so that when you turn the sheet, it was flat in all places and there were no unnecessary folds. Otutjujte the prepared turned out sheet and lay on a line a line. This will add to your sheet of elegance.

Create buds

The main and most beautiful part of the tulip in the tilde style is its bud. As mentioned above, it can consist of two or four parts. If you have not sewed anything special before, then opt for a bud that consists of two parts. To make it easier, and it will turn out much more neat. The principle of sewing is the same as that of the leaves. Sew two pieces, turn it around and stuff it into a good one. Unlike the leaves, of course, you do not need to otrastchivat edge. When the bud is packed, you need to tighten it tightly in the area of the lower edge and sew it to the stem using a secret seam. There is another interesting version of the bud. His pattern is a rectangle, and inside is first inserted half of the foam ball of the right size, and then the filler is already laid. The rectangle is folded in half along the long side and stitched to the side. Then it is pulled down in the lower part, and the upper edge is simply turned. Inside, put the ball half with the convex side to the stem. It will help keep the shape of the bud. Top the filler. Now the bud should be closed. To do this, it is necessary to connect its opposite sides at the middle points with each other. The center of this joint, as a rule, sewn a bead.

Well, the tilde-tulip is ready. It remains for us only to sew a leaf somewhere in the middle of the stem and think over the design. It can be just a beautiful soft bouquet, tied with a suitable ribbon. Or you can "plant" several flowers in an improvised pot or box. However, for this purpose it will be necessary to insert a wire into the stems. And with the help of such tulips you will get a beautiful and cozy composition. For example, a soft wreath at the door. Remember that the beauty of tulips will largely depend on what material you will make them. And although this is considered a primitive toy, no one forbids decorating the entire composition with additional decorative elements. For example, sew a bit of beads to the bud or glue an artificial butterfly to the bouquet. On that he and the creative process, to experiment in his pleasure.
