Today, one of the most popular services is decoration with balloons, however, if you have free time and some effort, you can make a beautiful and bright decoration yourself. The article provides several examples of how to make a flower from balloons with your own hands.
Recommendations before you begin
Before you start working with balloons, you need to familiarize yourself with some recommendations that will facilitate the process of making the composition:
- It is better for beginners to conduct modeling 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.
- It is better to inflate long balls with the help of a pump, since it is quite difficult to do this by mouth.
- When working, it is better to keep the balls away from the face.
- Balloons should not be inflated too much, during the simulation they can burst.
- When re-inflated, long balls lose their shape; this fact is important to consider. You also do not need to twist round balls, they are not intended for this.
- Before you start modeling, you need to cut your nails, remove jewelry. If the material is electrified, it is advisable to degrease the hands. Some balls are covered with talcum powder, which can stain dark clothes.
- To make the finished figure look neat, twisting is performed in one direction.
Making sausage flowers
To make jewelry from "sausages" you will need balls of green and any other bright color.
We make a flower from 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 in two turns. Then it measures the same length and twists it in the same way. The result should be six identical “sausages”.
- 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 leveled into a flower shape.
- The green ball is inflated and twisted a small segment at the end. Then it is folded two more times and twisted - this is the future core of the flower.
- A 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 different ways, make them with or without petals.
Option number 1:
- Inflated a long green ball. At the end, two green balls are alternately twisted at the point of inflation.
- Bubbles are tied to the base, and then each twist in one and the other direction. This option is more suitable for tying to a flower.
Option number 2:
- Inflate the green ball. A segment recedes from one end and twists, then it is folded again and twisted in half.
- A ringlet is made in the middle of the stem and twisted - this is the first leaf. Just below, another little ring is made and twisted - this is the second petal.
Option number 3:
- Inflate the green ball. 10-15 cm recede from the nodule and twist. Then fold in half and again twist the already known method. Then pass through the flower.
- The main stem is folded with an accordion and twisted in the middle, forming petals.
Large daisies from balls and the basis for them
If you need a bouquet of flowers from balloons, you can collect a composition of daisies.
For this, flowers are made according to this scheme:
- Two large round balls are inflated, twisted twice and tied together. Then, two more balls are treated in the same way, and one inflated ball is tied to them.
- Two parts, one of two, the other of three balls, are twisted to form a camomile.
- Inflate a small ball of contrasting color and leave a long tail, thread it into the center of the flower, and tie it.
- The basis of the daisy is made from a long green ball, as in the first master class. It should turn out a five-leaf flower.
- The base is tied to the bottom of the chamomile, and then the stem is attached.
You can decorate a wall with daisies. To do this, they do not need to attach the stem. Flowers in an amount of more than four pieces are connected together by tape and attached to the wall.
How to make a rose?
A rose from a balloon looks very unusual and beautiful, and even a beginner can make it. To do this, you need 3 balls - 2 red and 1 green.
A balloon flower is made like this:
- At the end of one inflated ball, a small segment is twisted, folded in half and twisted again - this is a rose bud. A small knot is made from another ball and threaded into the loop of the first ball.
- Then around the first ball in a circle inside wrap the end of the second ball, the result is a twisted ring. The free end of the ball is wrapped in a circle in the same way, passing through the ring.
- Inflate the green ball and twist the leaves. The knot is pushed into the bottom of the rose and tied, thus connecting both parts.
Ball Iris
To simulate the iris, you will need a ball of purple or bright pink and green for the stem.
To make a flower out of balloons will help actions:
- The balloon is inflated so that one end is left without air by 5 cm. Then it is folded in half and both ends are connected.
- The resulting circle is folded in half so that the knot is in the middle and twisted, resulting in a part similar to the number 8.
- The loops are folded together and, having retreated about 1/3, twisted together. Iris flower is ready.
- The green ball is inflated and a leaf is twisted about in the middle. A bundle is pulled into the middle of the flower and tied.
A flower from one long ball
If it is not possible to buy several products for creativity and you are wondering how to make a flower from a long balloon, then the following instructions will help to cope with the problem.
The craft is going like this:
- Inflate one long ball. A knot is tied and, by pressing the index finger, the tail is hidden inside the ball. Then a small segment is twisted, forming the core of the flower.
- Next, measure a small segment, fold in half and twist around its axis, and then around the flower head. Thus, two more petals are created.
- The air remaining at the end of the ball is displaced to the flower. It should be between the flower and the stem, so the artificial plant looks more natural.
Schemes of assembly of flowers
To arrange the composition, flowers from balls can be collected in a bouquet, attached to a wall or other interior items.
To decorate the interior, several simple colors are usually used. They can be done like this:
- An inflated long ball is tied with a ring. Then fold in half and twist. The resulting 2 rings are folded together and twisted again exactly in the middle. The result should be a four-leaf flower.
- The green ball is inflated, leaving the tip about 10 cm not inflated. The tip without air is threaded into the center of the flower, and then the air is displaced into it. It should be the core of the flower.
Such products can be tied with tape. Effectively look compositions with flowers from balloons in an amount of five or more elements.
To diversify the bouquet, you can add an element in the form of a heart from a balloon. They do it like this:
- Inflate a ball of pink or red, its ends are tied.
- Next, you need to give it a characteristic heart shape. The knot should be in the middle of the ring below. In the upper part of the ring, in the middle, with both hands strongly press the ball, slightly shifting the air in opposite directions, you should get a heart.
- Two petals are twisted at the end of another ball. Then they are twisted at the bottom of the heart, so he got a leg. Now the heart can be placed in a floral bouquet of balloons.
Now you know how to make a sweet surprise for a child and decorate a gift with a flower from a ball. It is not difficult to assemble such a composition, the process takes a little time, but the impressions and reaction of the baby will remain in memory for a long time.
Having mastered such a modeling technique, you can safely proceed to the creation of more complex figures and compositions.
