Foamiran at home: making hand-made articles with the example of dahlia

Plastic material fameiran, also known as plastic suede or reel, came to Russia from Iran, where it is made under the name FoamIran. Less often this material is delivered from China. The needlewomen appreciated the pliable properties of this material, which, thanks to the easy heating with the help of an iron, is able to acquire volume and stretch. With the ease of memorizing a new form, crafts made from fameiran turn out to be "live" and quite realistic.

Therefore, today I would like to share with you simple lessons on how to make fameiran at home , I'll teach you how to work with this material.

Properties of Foamiran

Foamiran( phoem, fom) is a modern synthetic material made of foamed rubber. Under the influence of heat treatment, it becomes compliant and obedient, which makes it possible to give it the desired shape. Rich rich palette of Foma allows needlewomen to create unmatched color compositions, toys and other hand-made articles.

To make the volume of the workpiece out of foiramane, it is enough to apply it for a short period of time to the iron. After this, by stretching, give the workpiece the desired shape.

To work with foamiranom also suitable tools that are used in ceramic molding: molds, bulbs, hooks, stacks. Also, to make the texture, the blanks are often wrapped in corrugated paper. Basically, this is done when creating bouquets from foyamiran.

To understand how under the influence of heating, changing the foiraman at home, video lessons are simply necessary.

Video lessons on working with the foiromone:

Also fame paints with the help of pastel pencils or acrylic paint. Often, the blanks simply tint in some places with the right color to give a visual volume and realism. To further the product does not stain the hands with paint, at the end of the work, the crafts are sprinkled with a small amount of hairspray, which fixes the color. The video shows examples of how you can paint details of the craft:

Master class: dahlia from fameirana

Using the example of creating a dahlia, you can clearly see all the secrets of working with Foma.

So, for work, we need:

• fame amber and green
• scissors
• iron
• sponge
• acrylic paint
• wire
• glue
• molding mass or self-hardening clay

process of work

From paper we make blanks-patterns of future petals:

From greenFoamiran carve sepal:

With a pencil or toothpick, we transfer the patterns of the petals to the foiramane sheet and cut out the contour:

From the remnants of the foma we make a fringe from which we then make a kneeFlower ki:

These are blank, we should turn:

Now with a sponge lightly dipped in acrylic paint dark pink color, we toning each petal Dahlia:

Please note that only toned edges.

We now turn to heat treatment of blanks. For this, we apply 1 petal to the heated iron. As soon as you see that it began to cringe, remove it, otherwise the work will shrink and decrease in size:

While the petal is still warm, it needs to be folded and tightly twisted:

This operation will have to be done with all the petals:

After you unfoldpetal, it will acquire a new shape for itself:

The blanks for the stamens also need to be attached to the iron so that the edges slightly twist:

With the help of wire and clay we make the dahlia bud:

And start to collect the flower. First of all, wrap the bud with a fringe from the fameiran. It will be a flower stamen:

The edges of the stamen are glued together.

Next, we glue one lobe with an overlap. We start with smaller petals:

We continue to glue the petals of a larger size:

You can also attach the sepals to the iron and slightly bend the edges to give realism. Then in the center of it make a hole with a needle or an awl to attach it to the wire:

The flower is ready:
