Autumn leaves from foamiran. MK Svetlana Ridzel

Today we will learn how to make autumn leaves from foamiran. The leaves turned out to be wonderful: bright, light and very similar to real ones. You will learn how to make such wonderful pins from my detailed master class.

For the manufacture of leaves, we need foamiran of autumn shades. I took olive, burgundy, coffee, yellow and orange.

Cut out sketches of autumn leaves from paper. To do this, I collected various pieces of paper from the Internet, adjusted them in size (so that they looked beautiful on the kids, they were not huge), printed and cut out.

We distribute sketches: which of which foamiran we will make.

Slowly and methodically, we circle all the leaves with an ordinary toothpick.

Cut out the blanks with scissors.

We additionally process some leaves with curly scissors.

We cut out compound leaves in sheets, i.e. each component separately.

To simulate wind-blown, leaky leaves, we will make several holes on our blanks.

The holes should not be straight, so the awl will not fit. I came up with the idea of ​​making them with a broken toothpick (and the more crooked it breaks, the better).

You can paint foamiran with anything. I like to do this with oil paint from Winzor & Newton, Winton and Artisan series (fine pigment, evenly applied, Artisan is a water-soluble oil, i.e. can be washed off with plain water).

We will apply oil with a regular sponge. The construction sponge for windows is very handy (buy once and use it for life).

Take the leaves of the base yellow color.

We emphasize the edges with Indian red, in some places we tint with green (be sure to go through the holes in order to further emphasize them).

Do not forget about the reverse side (it also needs to be painted).

Option with burgundy, orange and brown.

Here are orange, brown and white.

Brown and burgundy.

And in this leaf it is compatible with warm shades with green.

Orange and burgundy.

Painted yellow blanks.

To make the edge look more frayed. Set some parts of the leaves on fire with a lighter.

Be careful, the fom can ignite, but the flame can be easily extinguished by simply blowing it out.

We tint all cut out blanks in the same way. Easily match colors by looking at pictures of live leaves on the internet.

We dilute the acrylic paint a little with water. Preparing a spray solution. I used acrylic in two colors - dark purple and green.

Using a toothbrush and our finger, spray the leaves.

Dry and repeat on the reverse side.

To make the leaves look like real ones, they need veins. To imitate them, we need special molds.

We set the iron to maximum, turn off the steam. We take the mold in one hand, the future sheet in the other. We apply the sheet to the hot surface of the iron iiiiii ...

... and immediately, without wasting a second, we apply hot foamiran to the mold, trying to align the central vein with the center of the leaf. Press with your fingers.
The mold in the photo is the most demanded and most often used when working with foamiran. If you don't have one - be sure to buy it! Recommend!
This mold is called universal, because with its help, you can make not a certain leaf of a certain plant, but a lot of leaves. There are a lot of leaves with such a grid of veins and it will definitely come in handy for you.

Almost finished birch leaf.

For leaves of this type, we apply each half-petal to the iron separately and separately print on the mold. This is the only way to create a radial mesh of veins.

To make leaf cuttings, we need floristic wire # 22. For complex leaves, the components of which we cut out separately, we will use a thinner wire # 28.

For each leaf, we separately try on the wire and bite off the desired length with pliers. In order for the pin to have a stiffening rod, the wire will need to be glued from the very top of the sheet (if we made the leaves in a bouquet or in a wreath, then the wire would not even reach the middle.

Using cyanoacrylate second glue, glue the pieces of wire to the leaves.

To do this, grease the wire with a toothpick and press it in the center along the sheet.

If you have neatly greased the wire with glue, you can press it with your hands. But often the glue appears out of nowhere and instantly sticks your fingers together.

Therefore, it is still more convenient to press the wire against the sheet with a clean toothpick.

We bend the tail of the wire with a loop, it will help us simulate the thickening at the tip of the petiole.

With permanent markers (you can do it just with acrylic) we mask the white paper braid, which stands out very brightly against the background of the colored sheet.

It is convenient to use markers with a brush, rather than regular markers with a rod.

To decorate the wire ponytails and turn them into almost real cuttings, we will use tape. Cut off a piece of tape, it is too wide for our purpose. To cut a long ribbon lengthwise and in half, fold it into several layers.

Cut lengthwise with scissors.

To activate the adhesive layer, the tape must be stretched all the time during work. To make the tip sticky, simply tear off the edge of the tape.

We fix the end of the tape at the base of the sheet.

Gently wrap the entire wire at an angle, making a thickening on the loop.

Tear off the tape and iron the ponytail.

A neat cut is ready.

To assemble a complex-composite sheet, we glue a thin wire to each, put them together and fix them with tape.

After that, it remains only to straighten the composite leaves and bend the stalk slightly.

In order for the sheet to turn into a pin, we glue such a fastener to each one.

With a second glue using a toothpick, coat the back of the mount and press it to the back of the sheet, along the wire.

We choose a place in the approximate center of gravity of the jewelry, so that when worn, the brooch does not protrude and does not hang down from any side.

For different leaves, we use pins of our appropriate size and preferably color (I did not have the opportunity to choose a color).

We admire the result!
Leaves can be worn on autumn hats and hats (products made from foamiran are not afraid of rain), leaves look wonderful on a coat and on a bag ... and you can also make a wonderful wreath or an eternal bouquet from such leaves (without fasteners) ...

Foamiran is a thin foam rubber plate, pleasant and soft to the touch, outwardly similar to suede. This type of material quickly gained popularity among craftswomen-needlewomen, due to its qualities - resistance to moisture and plasticity. Let's create an autumn mood out of foamiran by making a few leaves.

Autumn leaves from foamiran - maple, oak and elm

They decorate the home, hairstyles, wedding attributes - all this brings beauty and joy into our life. But from foamiran you can make not only flowers, but also leaves, especially since it has come autumn time and I want something new and extraordinary.

Materials and tools:

  • - foamiran of three colors (pale orange, orange, yellow);
  • - leaflet templates;
  • - a set of pastels;
  • acrylic paint(red, brown, yellow, green);
  • - brush;
  • - acrylic lacquer;
  • - molds;
  • - a handkerchief or cotton fabric;
  • - red gel pen;
  • - foam sponge;
  • - floristic wire;
  • - second glue;
  • - tape tape;
  • - a toothpick;
  • - scissors;
  • - iron.

We will make three leaves - maple, oak and elm.

Drawing templates by hand on paper.

Cut out and the leaf patterns are ready.

If you don't know how to draw, we offer leaf templates that you can print or trace from the screen.


We put the template on the foamiran, circle it with a toothpick.

Cut out. It is better to do this with manicure scissors.

We start with maple. We cut it out of yellow Thomas... We tint the central part of the blank with green pastel using a sponge. We begin to produce all strokes from the base to the ends of the blanks.

We all know that when mixing yellow and red paint, we get Orange color... And since we need to create this very shade, we tint the blank with red pastel. Lighten our initially yellow leaf a little lighter - we make the rays emanating from the center.

Tint green again, but apply paint to the tips.

We paint the wrong side of the workpiece less intensively.

Take the oak leaf, which we cut from the orange Iranian foamiran. We tint it green. First, draw rays and blend with a sponge.

We muffle the greens with yellow.

We tint separate areas with red and terracotta.

We paint the wrong side weaker than the face.

Let's start toning the elm leaf. Shading the green pastel. Unlike oak leaf, we do not need clear, pronounced lines. We need to achieve a smooth transition of color from the base of the blank to the ends.

Add red and terracotta colors (blend with a sponge).

We lighten the places where we wish them yellow.

A little green with hotel areas of the edges of the cloves.

We make the seamy side lighter.

We select leaf molds in which the vein pattern matches the living leaves.

Place the front side of the foamiran sheet on the mold.

Wrap it tightly in a cotton cloth. We heat it on an iron and press the foamiran into the mold with our fingers through a scarf so that all the veins are imprinted.

We reveal.

When imprinting the sheet on the mold, make sure that the center vein is in the middle and not off the side.

In a similar way, we print all the blanks.

We create waves to the tips, thereby giving naturalness to the leaves.

Once again we go through and shade the leaves. Add red to the oak leaf, terracotta to the maple leaf, and brown to the elm leaf.

Add red to the maple leaf if desired.

We draw veins along the lines squeezed out by the mold. For the oak leaf we use brown pastel, for the maple leaf we use a red gel pen, and for the elm leaf we use green pastel.

We measure the desired length of floristic wire for each leaf. We wrap it up with a tape with a thickening at one end.

We glue the leg to seamy side sheet to thickening. We fasten the very end of the base of the sheet with tape. If necessary, make the leg of the sheet thicker.

We glue the ends of the tape for reliability.

We take acrylic paint and paint over the tape. It is advisable to choose the color of the paint that prevails in the sheet. We are waiting for the first layer to dry.

Paint with the same color or add some shade. Dry. A layer of paint can be applied sparingly.

We cover the entire sheet, excluding the seamy side, with acrylic varnish.






Foamiran grape leaf

With the arrival of autumn, the green crown of trees is replaced by gold with various shades of red, yellow, orange and even purple. A riot of colors makes this autumn period incredibly beautiful and fabulous. Today we propose to make you autumn leaf uk maiden grapes.

How to make a girly grape autumn leaf

We make a template of three leaves of different sizes.

We cut out one large sheet and two medium and small sheets from foamiran.

We make the edges of the blanks with cloves.

We tint the blanks with all shades of red pastels (left view), add some greenery and yellowness (right view).

Take a purple pastel and apply it to the workpiece in two or three places.

We give the texture with the help of mold. We heat the workpiece on the iron, without wasting time, we apply it to the mold, aligning the central vein with the center of the sheet.

We give the wave as follows: we apply a small section of the sheet to the iron edge to the iron, immediately stretch it with our fingers.

Again, tint the central part of the leaf with red pastel, and the tips and base with green pastel.

We make the seamy side less bright.

We cut the wire into 7-8 cm pieces in the amount of five pieces. We glue one end to the sheet. We glue this place so that the wire is not visible.

We add all five blanks in descending order: large, two medium and two small. We wrap the wire with tape.

We start the tape between each leaf and return to the petiole.

We repeat the winding three times, cover the entire petiole with tape, making a seal at the end.

We paint the petiole with red paint and dry it. The paint should be thick.

We cover the petiole with another layer of paint and blend along the central vein of the leaf.

We cover with varnish front side leaves and the entire petiole twice with drying between layers.

If you plan to do autumn craft a brooch, then the place where all the parts are fastened must be made a little larger (wider) and at the time of winding, connect a pin with a one-sided flat base to the wrong side.

Do-it-yourself flowers from foamiran are an exclusive decor element that emphasizes the basic concept of style in the interior. They seem to come to life at any angle of changing lighting, allowing you to create a realistic bouquet that will never fade.

Foamiran is an innovative material that is commonly called plastic suede. It is a rubber sheet with a porous texture, which bends easily and retains its shape for a long time. With its help, it is quite easy to form a corrugated petal, a graceful stamen or a spiked stem, which combine into a charming flower that can be used to decorate a photo frame, hair tie, hairpin and even clothes. Today we will consider the most original master classes, in which the technique of creating flowers from porous foamiran is described in detail.

Read and watch in our first article. There you will find many ideas and workshops.

Terry peonies

A peony made of plastic foamiran is a rather lush, beautiful bud that even a novice master can make.


To conduct an MC, we need the following types of materials:

  1. Porous foamiran. To make the craft as realistic as possible, purchase material no more than 1 mm thick. We need a dark green, dark pink and light pink canvas.
  2. Fixing tape, which can be light green or green.
  3. Water based acrylic paints. To make the artificial flower interesting and as realistic as possible, get a dark pink, marsh and yellow shade of paint.
  4. Bulky thick wire, which will bend well, with a diameter of 1-1.5 mm. It will be needed to form the stem. For the leaves, you need a small piece of floristic or thin wire.
  5. A set of art brushes, as well as foam rubber, from which you need to make a small sponge (or sponge).
  6. Manicure scissors and standard glue gun. You can use any manicure tool that will cut the foamiran with ease.
  7. A beautiful mother-of-pearl stone, a voluminous bead or a piece of foil, from which the core of the bud will be formed.
We also need a pattern that can be printed or drawn by hand. With its help, we will form the petals and components of our bud. When everything you need is on the table, you can start creating a peony step by step.

  1. We cut the component parts of the flower according to our pattern.
    - A - 10 light pink petals;
    - B - 10 petals of a light pink shade and 5 blanks of a dark pink color;
    - C - 10 parts of a light pink shade;
    - D - 5 dark pink petals;
    - E - 5 dark pink parts;
    - З - 3 leaves of a dark green shade;
    - M - 6 sheets of dark green color;
    - K and L - 5 dark green sepals;
    - F - a blank in the form of a sun with rays, from which we will form an interesting core with imitation of stamens.

    Cut out the pattern from the existing image, transfer it to the light pink foamiran and cut out the circle. After that, we cut the rays with sharp ends.

  2. We tint the leaves and petals

    With the help of acrylic paint, we make a light toning of the petals of our peony, trying to get the effect of an inhomogeneous color (either darker towards the edge of the petal, then darker closer to the base). To do this, we need a small brush, with which we paint over all the petals. on both sides.


    The second stage is the creation of "reviving" leaves. For this, we also use the manual tinting technique. With a darker green paint we paint over our leaves from foamiran only on one side, and then draw central veins in the center of the trefoil, distributing the paint from the center to the edges of the workpiece.



  3. Shirring leaves and petals

    The initial stage will be the corrugation of the petals B. We fold the workpiece in small folds according to the "accordion" principle.


    We twist both tips of the petal in different directions, after which we carefully roll the folded piece of the pattern between the fingers.


    To get the desired result, we process the upper part of the petal in the same way, but scroll more carefully. This is necessary in order for the foamiran to become thinner and stretch out in this place. Now the petal can be expanded.


    We corrugate the petals A in the same way as the previous workpiece.


    Petals D are more concave, resembling a "boat". To get a depression, we grab the tip of the petal with our left hand, and with the thumb of our right hand we form a depression, gently stretching the foamiran. After that, stretch the petal across.


    We work in the same way with the petals E.


    Next, we corrugate the upper part of the petal C according to the principle of working with workpiece B.


    We crimp the leaves. To do this, you need to fold the sheet in half, focusing on the line of veins. Gently stretch the edges of the workpiece at the top, and the middle at the bottom.


    Now we need to simulate the side veins. Gently begin to fold the material in small folds at an acute angle, stretch the foamiran a little and roll it with your thumb, middle and forefinger.


    Twist the tips of the leaves.



  4. Assembling a flower

    We are preparing the base on which many peony petals will be fixed. To do this, we form a dense ball from the foil, the diameter of which should not exceed 1.5 cm. If you decide to use a bead, then make sure that it has a wide enough hole. In a ball of foil we pierce a hole into which we pour glue and immediately pass the prepared wire into the hole.


    We string the workpiece G onto the wire and tie all the upper parts with a thread, placing them above the bead.


    We dip the tips of the stamens into yellow acrylic paint, and then attach 10 petals A to them, using a gun with glue for this.


    We fix the petals B, folded like an accordion at the base, so that we get small folds. In this way, we fix 10 light pink and 5 dark pink petals.


    Next, we glue 5 petals C, and behind them - in a checkerboard pattern, another 5 of the same blanks.


    The pre-final stage will be gluing five petals D in a checkerboard pattern with respect to the previous ones.


    And the creation of the final row of the 5 largest petals E.


    We fix the sepals and begin to collect the leaves as shown in the photo.

Our peony is ready. Such a product can be used to decorate a hairpin, hoop or refresh the interior.

Bulky orchid

A white foamiran orchid is created quickly enough, even if you are a beginner. To do this, you just need to study our lesson and follow the instructions step by step.


To create an unusual flower, we need:

  • White foamiran, 1 mm thick.
  • Steel wire 24-26 sizes, regardless of color.
  • Light and dark green cotton swabs and tape.
  • Dry pastels, fuchsia acrylic paint and crayons.
  • Thin brushes (best buy # 0 or 1).
  • Tweezers, manicure and stationery scissors.
  • Universal glitter glue, iron and orchid texture (Coerulea or Phalaenopsis 2 parts).
Now you can start making Phalaenopsis blooming buds, which will occur in five stages.
  1. Creating templates

    We transfer to cardboard a pattern for orchid flowers of two sizes - S and M. For one branch we need 2-3 small and 3-4 large blanks for the buds, which are shown in the photo.

  2. Work on cutting blanks from foamiran

    We take the template and transfer the figured drawing to the foamiran. We need one blank each to create a flower: template number 1 (orchid lip), 2 (side petals or petals), 3 (sepals - sepals).


    Template No. 5 - "armchair", it is the protruding part of the lip. We cut this part by hand ourselves. We need to make a 6 × 6 mm square, along the edges of which we cut cloves on two opposite sides, as shown here.

  3. Phalaenopsis lip tinting

    Using dry crayons and a porous applicator (sponge), paint the blanks in purple and bright yellow, as shown in the image.


    We tint the "chair" of our flower, which will be located in the center. To do this, we use a two-sided painting method, applying a lilac color.


    Using a thin brush and paint, create the dots-strokes that are characteristic of the orchid. The picture shows in what sequence to apply them.

    As a result, you should get such a front and back side lips.

  4. Modeling the shape of the blanks

    We warm up the prepared iron in the "wool" thermostat position. We apply the blanks of the buds to the outer surface of the iron, wait until the material heats up and lags behind the surface itself. After that, it will take the desired shape.


    Getting started with template # 2. We lightly hold one part of the petal in our hands, and apply the other to the heated surface of the iron. While the material has not cooled down, apply a small foamiran to the mold and press it as tightly as possible to the plastic texture with your fingers. We repeat the same procedure with the second part of the petal.

    As a result, you should get voluminous petals with veins characteristic of Phalaenopsis.


    We revive our petals using the end pulling technology.

    Form the corresponding indentation with your fingertips to get these petals.


    Let's start working with sepals, using the technique of working with pattern # 2.


    As a result, you should get the details shown in the photo.


    Shape the lip by applying the front side to the iron. The material should heat up and take the form that we need. While the foamiran is still warm, create a groove by pinching the fold.


    We glue the "chair" to the core in the place indicated by the orange circle on the first template.


    We tint the teeth, using a yellow tint a little brighter than the "armchair".

  5. Assembling a flower

    We form a column by applying glue to cotton wool. We distribute the glue over the cotton wool. If you want a velvety surface, then while the glue is not frozen, dip the stick in starch.


    When the glue has dried a little, cut off the head of the cotton swab, about 7-8 mm. We take the wire and at one end we form a small loop, which we coat with glue and pass the cotton swab head inside. We fix it.


    We glue the lip of the orchid, side petals and sepals to the head.

Our orchid is ready. With such decoration, any Wedding hairstyle or a hair tie will be as elegant as possible. And if you "plant" a flower in a beautiful pot, then no one will distinguish it from the real one.

Another option for creating an orchid:

We decorate the hairpin with a lush poppy

Red foamiran poppy is a great way to decorate any hair accessory or to diversify a flower bouquet made of wild plants.


To create it, we need:

  • dense foamiran of black, green and red shades;
  • acrylic paint (red and White color);
  • bright pastel and tinting sponge;
  • simple threads, a piece of foil, an iron and curly scissors;
  • automatic hair clip without jewelry;
  • glue, a manicure stick or wooden toothpick, and phlox powder.
When all the materials are ready, you can start the master class. To do this, follow the instructions below.

Draw by hand paper templates in the amount of 8-16 pieces. We need 4 small blanks - 5.5 * 4.5 cm, as well as 4 large ones - 7.5 * 5.5 cm.


Cut out a strip of black foamiran and process one side to create a fringe.


We make the base from a ball of foil, the diameter of the workpiece is approximately 1.7-2 cm.


We tint our petals on one side using a sponge.


Smooth sharp corners with curly scissors.


Lightly touching our petal with a sponge, apply white paint from one side to the lower part of the petal.


Cut out a circle from the green foamiran, put a foil ball in the middle and begin to form a poppy head. We tie the ball with thread as shown in the photo.


Cut off the excess thread. Turn the tips over (turn out) and glue. You can slightly tint the core, first with red and then with white paint.


We start assembling the flower by gluing the fringe.


We form poppy petals by heating the material on an iron in the "silk-wool" mode. We fold the warm blanks with an accordion, twist and pull out the middle a little. We do this with all the petals.


We paint the fringe a little white. We begin to overlap the petals, forming rows. First, 4 petals in one row.

Then glue the large petals below the first row by about 1-2 mm, also slightly overlapping.


Cut out the leaves and apply texture to them, toning with paint and shading it with a sponge on both sides.




We glue the leaves, sprinkling them with phlox powder.


The flower is ready. Now we just need to glue it to the automatic hair clip, using a hole punch or glue for this. You can do your hair!



Bouquet of unfading tulips

If you want to make a realistic tulip with closed buds, then a visual scheme will help you with this. You can use any shade of material you like. Such a bouquet will become an exclusive gift for Mother's Day or March 8, and will delight its owner for a long time.


To create a tulip, we need:

  • dense foamiran of bright colors for buds and olive shade (to create leaves and stem);
  • floristic wire and buds;
  • nail scissors (straight or pointed);
  • glue and tape tape of any green shade;
  • alcohol-free wet wipes;
  • dry pastel (crayons can be used);
  • thick cardboard for patterns (whatman paper is suitable);
  • a wooden toothpick or nail stick, and tweezers.
When all the materials are laid out on the table, you can start creating our tulips.


Initially, we cut out the templates from which we will make the petals. In our case, the height of the blanks is 6 cm, and the width of the largest part is 3.5 cm. The length of the arbitrary template for the leaves is 26 cm, the width is the same as that of the petals.

Using a toothpick or a manicure stick, we circle the templates on the foamiran, after which we cut out the details. We need 1-2 leaves and 6 petals for one flower.




We tint the workpieces using dry pastels. To achieve the desired effect, blend the paint with a damp cloth, simulating gradient transitions.


We tint the bottom of each petal so that it is slightly darker than the top. You should get it as shown in the photo.


Likewise, you can decorate green leaves. Floral veins can be added if desired.


Now we are modeling the shape of the petals. To do this, we apply our workpieces to the outer surface of the iron heated in the "wool-silk" mode. Initially, we slightly stretch the workpiece in width, and then in length. Gently form a small depression with your fingers, while sipping on the petal. Look at the picture. So it should turn out in the end.


Now we simulate a fold on the leaves. We attach the leaf to the iron and fold it along. It should look like this.


We begin to collect the buds. To do this, we glue the floristic blanks or foil balls petals. We fix the first three on the core so that it is not visible.


We place the next three petals in a checkerboard pattern to the previous ones and also glue them.


We return to the leaves. Gently glue a piece of floral wire into its middle so that it becomes as flexible as possible.


We collect the flower. To do this, we wrap the body of the stem with green tape, while fixing the leaves. Our tulip is ready. Likewise, you can make a whole bouquet by decorating it with additional leaves.

IN this master class I will tell you how to make beautiful leaves from marshmallow foamiran without mold. To make the leaves look more natural, we will use live plants. Also in this MK I will tell you how to fix the liton to foamiran leaves without glue. So, let's begin.

What does it take to make beautiful foamiran leaves?

Let's start the master class with a list of required materials:

  • green marshmallow foamiran;
  • green oil pastels of all tones and a sponge;
  • sheet of white office paper
  • litons No. 26;
  • teip tape;
  • iron;
  • pouring fresh flowers.

In summer, a wide variety of live leaves. And you can use it when working with foamiran. Here's a piece of paper I prepared. You can use them in your art without using molds. I will show you how to do this while working with marshmallow foamiran.

I took the second sheet like this.

These are the pieces of paper we will make.

Master class on making leaves from foamiran: detailed instructions

But at the beginning, I want to remind you a little how to make leaves without mold and from Iranian foamiran using live leaves, so that you can see the difference in technology when working with marshmallow foamiran. We take a live leaf and a piece of Iranian green foamiran. And through a cloth we iron the sheet well with an iron, just do not overheat.

Then we cut along the contour, the texture of the sheet is imprinted on the foamiran.

When working with marshmallow foamiran, we take office paper, a piece of foamiran and a sheet that we wanted to make and more litons.

Fold a piece of foamiran in half and place a liton between it so that it coincides with the central vein of the leaf. We put the sheet on the foamiran, cover it with office paper and iron it well, heat it. Then let it cool, remove the paper and sheet.

We got such a sheet, since marshmallow foamiran, when heated, tends to stick together and become thinner, we got a very thin leaf and immediately on the liton.

So you can make any leaves from marshmallow foamiran. I will show it again with the example of another type of sheet. We take the foamiran, bend it in half, place the liton inside.

We put a sheet on top, so that the central vein coincides with the liton.

Cover with office paper and iron.

Let it cool and cut out the leaf.

Here is the reverse side of the sheet.

Since green marshmallow foamiran has a very bright light green color, you will have to work hard and use several shades of green oil pastels for toning to get the desired shade. We apply tint with a sponge, blending well.

This is the sheet we got.

Litons of leaves are also tinted with oil pastels or treated with tape. These are the leaves from marshmallow foamiran without molds and glue we made.

Such foamiran leaves can be used to decorate wedding and interior bouquets, making a beautiful "skirt" out of them. In addition, the leaves look beautiful on foamiran brooches and other jewelry. Elongated leaves look good with, wide leaves can be used for. Using the leaves of fresh flowers, you can make a shower of roses, orchids, peonies, dandelions with your own hands without mold, Maple leaves and fern leaves. The main thing is to collect fresh green leaves, and while they have not wilted, use them as a mold or a template.
