How to make flowers from your skin( natural or artificial): master-classes with step-by-step instructions

Each woman will have several old worn bags, go out on the street with which it is already indecent - they are so worn out, and throw out a pity - the skin after all. So they can be used creatively and rationally, making decorative flowers for shoes, costume jewelry, clothes or even a new bag - why not? In this article we will tell you how to make flowers from the skin by yourself with the example of a detailed master class.

White lilies

Delicate white lilies made from genuine leather can become an excellent decoration for sandals, a brooch, part of a floral rim or even a wreath, which recently are especially popular. So, you will need:

• thin natural leather;
• PVA;
• glue "Moment-Crystal";
• art contour for fabric;
• wire;
• templar;
• scissors.

1. When creating a template, focus on the desired size of the flower. You can also make leaves and petals of different sizes, but we will use one pattern for both.

2. Circle the workpiece: 6 elements of white leather, 3 of green. We cut out.

3. In order for the flower to hold the mold well, it must be impregnated with diluted PVA glue( 1 part of PVA: 2 parts of water).If you do crafts for costume jewelry, this is not necessary - you can just miss on both sides.

4. We take out the petals soaked in the glue and squeeze it in the fist. Leave to dry, so that the glue becomes transparent.

5. As the leaves and petals dry up, we can cut out the pistil and the stamens. To do this, take the skin thicker( in the photo 1 mm).

6. The length of the pistil is 5-7 cm. All the excess will become a trunk.

7. Petals with dried up glue we add along and we wind on a finger, on a hand or a stick.

8. We leave to dry.

9. When the parts become almost dry, but they can still be pulled to the sides, we give them shape, stretching out and across. After that, finally dry the glue. You can use an oven heated at a low temperature, or a hair dryer.

10. We collect all the parts on the glue "Moment".

11. Green leaves will be the third - the bottom - next.

12. We make an artistic contour on the petals of the speckle.

In our MC turned out to be such wonderful lilies. Try it, and you will, too.

Artificial leather flowers

This material is not so fertile as the skin is natural - it can not be twisted and stretched so. However, you can make a beautiful ornament from artificial leather.

For work you will need:

• trimming leatherette;
• super-glue;
• different decorations: strasiki, beads, pendants, etc.

1. First of all, we make cardboard patterns of petals of three sizes: large, medium and small. For these patterns we cut out 6 blanks of petals of each size. It turns out like this:

2. We glue the petals: on one side of the dart we apply a little glue and apply the second side slightly overlapping from above. It is important that all the petals of the dart are glued together in one direction.

3. When all the petals are ready, we begin to form three levels of the flower.

4. It turns out like this:

5. Cut the circle-base and collect the levels together, placing the petals in checkerboard order.

6. We decorate with rhinestones, we make the middle of the rolled strip of leatherette.

7. We fix hardware, in our case - a brooch.

And some more use cases.
