We make a beautiful bouquet of topiary made of cotton-wool discs( photo-examples of finished works are enclosed with their own hands)

It would seem, well, what can be made of material such as cotton wool discs? But in fact, there are many works that can be done from this material. Drawings, decorative hand-made articles, voluminous paintings and bouquets. Photo below:

So, let's start our master class on how to make a topiary made of cotton discs with our own hands.

Preparation of material for work

• Cotton discs, needles with thread and beads of different sizes and shades. Roses will be made from them. Green ribbon and pins. These materials are useful for creating leaves.
• A box from the cotton buds, which will be used as a stand.
• Mounting foam, with it will be filled with a stand, and it will serve as the basis.
• Brown wide ribbon and narrow ribbon of suitable color for decorating the stand.
• Thermo gun for attaching decorative details.

To begin with, you should learn how to make rosettes out of cotton balls.

Creating colors from disks

For one flower we take 2 discs, a needle with a thread and a bead of the appropriate shade.

Take one of the wadded disks and twist into a tube.

Another disk wrap around the tubing to get such a flower.

Take the needle and thread and fasten the bud. A knot at the end of a thread should not be tied, since it will still slip through cotton wool. You can fasten the thread after.

Now thread through the flower from bottom to top. Pass through the bead, and go back.

So, prepare 25 roses. In some of the flowers you can not add beads, or use different in shape and color. The main thing is that the beads should harmonize among themselves and with the whole composition in color.

Creation of leaves for colors from tapes

Now it is necessary to make leaves for colors. This will also be done step by step . Take the tape of the right color and cut it off 10 cm.

Now fold the piece of fabric so that the boat turns out.

Secure the edges with a pin and start sewing them with a simple seam. You do not need to fix the thread yet.

Now pull the thread, and the fabric is going to the accordion, forming a leaf. Now you can fix the thread.

Leaflets can be done as long as you need. After put them aside. And now you can start making the main part of the product.

This topiary begins to do with the stand. For it, you can take any available capacity that you can fit in shape and size. In this case it is a box from the cotton buds. We fill it with mounting foam so that it completely fills the tank.

As soon as the foam swells and completely dries, you can continue working. To save time, you can fill the stand before you start making roses and petals.

Now you can decorate the stand with any material that you like. In this case, a brown tape is used. We glue it to the container with a thermo gun. After that, using pins, you need to attach the leaves, in a circle. It is desirable to do this evenly.

Now let's turn to the topiary. In order to glue roses from cotton pads, use the same thermo gun. First glue the bottom layer as shown in the photo.

Continue to glue all the other roses, and between them you can paste a couple of leaves. The final touch - tie a ribbon around the stand in the form of a bow, or decorate to your taste. Everything, the topiary from the cotton discs is ready.

The presented model, of course, looks more like a bouquet, but using the same technique in working with cotton discs, you can create a classic decorative tree. Because of the snow-white color, wadded disks are used not only in conventional models of topiary, but also for more solemn occasions. For example, a wedding. If you do the work accurately and accurately, you will get an excellent gift - a wedding topiary. Here are some examples of such products:

And why not instead of the usual ball in place of the crown make a heart, for example, like here:

The whole principle of working on such a tree is no different from the usual, the difference is only in the workpiece for the crown. To make a base in the form of a heart it is possible from a foam,

or cardboard.

It is also possible to make such a base of two cut-out forms of paper by enclosing wadded disks for the volume between them.

And here's a video of how to make an interior ball of cotton pads. Such a ball can easily be attached to the trunk, supplemented with a stand, and the tree is ready.
