Iris in Greek means "rainbow". He got this name due to a wide variety of shapes and colors. And in this article we will look at how to make an iris from foamiran, which can be used to decorate a bezel or a hairpin or used in interior decoration.
Materials
In order to make iris from foamiran, you need to prepare such materials:
- foamiran lilac, yellow, green and white;
- acrylic paint pink, yellow and white;
- thin brush;
- a toothpick;
- universal mold for leaves;
- glue gun;
- tape tape;
- green oil pastel;
- sponge;
- 2 mm wire;
- Templates
- iron.
Workshop for beginners
Draw on paper or print flower detail templates and cut them out. Attach the 8 x 5 cm and 6.5 x 3 cm templates to the white foam and circle them around the outline with a toothpick, and then cut three details of each type.
You will also need three parts measuring 8.5 x 6.5 cm. They need to be cut from lilac foamiran.
From the foam of green color, we cut out the part 18.5 x 4.5 cm, as well as three leaves 3 x 2 cm.
We cut the yellow foamiran into 3 strips of 1 x 8 cm and make a fringe on them.
On the edges of the white parts with yellow acrylic paint we make small strokes. This pattern must be applied on both sides of each part. Then apply small strokes of pink color and paint the bottom of all white petals with the same shade.
On the lilac petals, we make streaks with a toothpick and paint them in the middle with pink paint. At the edges of the petals we make small strokes with white paint and draw stripes diverging to the sides.
Fold yellow details twice in half and glue them from below.
Attach the part to the iron and slightly separate the fringe with your fingers. Top detail painted with pink paint.
We heat the white sheets in the form of scallops on the iron and slightly stretch the middle of the part, making a depression in it. The upper part of the scallop needs to be slightly tightened, and the bottom bent.
White petals also need to be heated and deepened in them. Then you should heat the edges of the petals and give them a wavy shape.
We also heat the lilac petals along the edges and create waves on them. We bend the lower part of the part a little back. In the center of each lilac petal we glue the yellow details with a fringe.
We heat and press green parts on mold. After that, fold the sheet along and give its edges a realistic shape.
We heat small green leaves and twist them into tubules, and then we straighten and slightly stretch them.
Glue three white scallops on top of the wire from different sides. Between them we fix three more white petals. Under the white details we attach lilac petals.
We wind a teip tape on the wire and glue small green leaves under the flower. Apply oil pastel on the stem and the junction with small leaves.
We attach a large sheet to the stem with the help of tape tape and also paint the place of the junction with pastel.

Marshmallow Foamiran Iris
In order to make another type of iris - from foamiran - with your own hands, you will need:

- Templates
- toothpick;
- scissors;
- thermal gun;
- wire;
- green tape;
- acrylic paint in white, yellow and ultramarine color.
Iris from foamiran: master class
Print and cut the petal patterns, then prepare 9 violet petals (three for each pattern).
Take a toothpick and draw on top of the vein details. On the petals of the second top view, make an incision. Paint the widest petals in the center with ultramarine paint. Apply paint to the rest of the edges.
Using scissors, make all the petals wavy edges, and then paint over the center of all the parts with white acrylic paint. After the white paint has dried, apply yellow paint on top.
Now you need to give the petals a shape, pre-heating them with an iron. Add volume to the parts by grabbing them by the top edge and pulling them slightly backwards.
Heat the bottom of each petal and bend it in half. After that, continue to heat the petals so that the veins become more noticeable.
Next, glue together the first and second type of petals, twist their lower part. You should get three pairs of glued parts.
Combine the three parts so that the petals with the slit are in the center. Glue the remaining three narrow petals between the previous ones.
Attach the wire to the flower and wrap it with tape. Cut large leaves from green foamiran and glue them to the stem. Your iris is ready.
