The first masters came from ancient China, Egypt and Greece. Today, the range of materials for creating artificial flowers is so rich that it can be listed endlessly! But still, new, accessible materials constantly appear, from which not only experienced craftsmen, but also beginners can create exclusive things.

Then it's time to get acquainted with a completely new material, amazing in its properties. Products from it are striking in their beauty. We invite you to make a flower of foamiran on your own!
Foamiran - material from which you can create real flowers!
This material is surprisingly soft and velvety. This is the reason that it is often called not just FOM EVA, FoamIran (FoamIran), Foam (Foam), leaflet, but also soft, plastic suede or porous paper. It is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, not afraid of moisture and temperature extremes, perfectly retains its shape and its original color. Foamiran is not only easily cut with various scissors and lends itself to the action of curly composters, but is also formed by hands - stretched, crushed under pressure, remembering the new shape with ease! Such elasticity and strength are due to its composition (ethylene and vinyl acetate). A palette of soft, pastel shades in combination with white and black allows everyone to find a color that is pleasant to the soul and eye. But it is easy to repaint it, using acrylic, oil paints, gouache, colored crayons.
The first product was still not a foamiran flower. Material, obtained in Iran (today already in China) and transported to all countries of the world, was first used as a soft designer for children. Today it is supplied to the markets of our country in the form of sheets, the sizes of which can vary from 40 x 40 to 70 x 70. You can purchase it at very affordable prices and at any time start working on creativity.
A flower from foamiran - something that is easy to make even for a beginner!
To create the most realistic composition, you will need a foamiran of the desired color, a pattern of leaves (petals), scissors, a pencil, a glue gun. Also, if desired, you can take a composter with ready-made molds, an ordinary iron for heating the material (you can warm it up and knead manually), paints for coloring the petals, special bullets for artificial flowers and the basis for the composition.
Making flowers from foamiran begins with cutting out the pattern of the petals. At this stage, you can also tint the blanks a bit. Then they apply the petals to the warm iron - they heat up, twist and fall off themselves. Now the process of forming a real flower begins - they bend the middle of the petals, stretch and wrap, make a wavy edge. After that, the flower begins to be assembled with a glue gun. As practice shows, neither PVA glue nor even Moment are suitable for such products.
Today there are a huge number of schools where they will teach how to create flowers from foamiran. A master class on creating compositions can be found not only in our country, there are video source sources even from Iran.
