FLOWERS FROM PLASTIC SPOONS
Size: Diam. OK. 8 - 10 cm.
YOU WILL NEED: plastic cutlery - tea or soup spoons; 1 candle; for each flower, 1 clip for fixing on a branch (for example, from a Christmas tree toy); adhesive thermal gun; tweezers and a knife cutter, a branch painted white.

HOW TO MAKE: light a candle. Take each spoon individually with tweezers and carefully hold it at a certain distance from the candle flame so that its edges slightly melt. Do not hold the spoon too close to the flame so that it does not turn black. To give the molten edge a more beautiful shape, you can use the second tweezers.
For a small flower, about 12-15 teaspoons are needed, for a large flower, 5-7 teaspoons and 6-8 teaspoons. With a knife, trim the cutlery spoons from milestones. Glue the petals one at a time, starting with the largest-sized petals, in the middle, arrange the most strongly curved small petal.
Important: do not spare the glue so that the flowers do not fall apart.
Finally, glue the clip to the base of the flower. Ready flowers to fix on a branch painted in white.
FLOWERING BRANCH FROM FABRIC
Size: custom
YOU NEED: cream-white cotton fabric, volumeflyz; transparent paper; a transfer pencil (with an iron); 1 marker phantom (with paint disappearing in the air); 1 can of glossy white paint; white thread for sewing.
MOTIVES: copy the desired size motifs of 6 petals, 1x bud, 1x flower stem and 6x leaves. Reducing or increasing motives, make sure that the petals, leaves and stems are proportional to each other.
HOW TO MAKE: translate the contours of motives onto transparent paper. Leaves, bud and stem, transfer 2x per fabric and 1x per laying. The largest petal to transfer 10x to the fabric and 5x to the gasket. The petal of the smaller (in order) size should be transferred 8x onto the fabric and 4x onto the gasket, all the descending petals of the following size should be transferred 6x onto the 3x fabric onto the gasket. All details cut out. Additionally for the flower cut 2x1 circle diam. 14 cm from cotton fabric and 1x the same circle from the pad.
Fold 2 identical petals, leaf, bud and stem with the wrong side to the wrong side, lay 1 layer of the gasket inside, then grind all layers in a circle at a distance of 3 mm from the cut. Do not trim the lower straight edge of the petals. With a phantom marker, transfer thin lines to leaves and bud (on the front side) and stitch.
After all the details of the flower stalk are sewn together, paint them with a white paint brush on the upper side, applying the paint in uneven layers. Allow the paint to dry completely.
For a flower, first sew the 5 largest petals on the circle, while folding the lower straight edge with folds.Sew the remaining petals gradually as they decrease in size. The smaller the petals, the less to pull together the straight lower edge of the petals to form a flower.
Lay out the finished parts on a flat work surface, as shown in the photo or randomly stitch.
Tip: for these motives and instructions, you can also make an applique on clothes, a hair ornament or even a small wall panel.
