How to make a flower out of a balloon with your own hands - schemes and step by step instructions for beginners
Aerodesign in recent years is gaining more and more popularity. The opening of fashionable stores, holding various entertainment events and holidays do not do without the use of such unusual decor.
And so it's not surprising that many people are interested in mastering this skill. After all, in the future you can even make such a source of income, or simply to please their children, having engaged in creativity with them.
Flowers from balloons
Studying aerodesign, it is impossible not to note the fact that the most popular option for decorating is the use of beautiful flowers from balloons. At first glance it might seem that only experienced craftsmen can make them.
But in fact this is a common misconception. To work with such material is simple, and the schemes are not complicated. It is enough to master only the basic technique. And then the creation of such handicrafts will not be particularly difficult.
What flowers can be made?
So, with the help of balloons you can make a real masterpiece. And at the same time, no one limits the master in choosing what kind of flower to use as a prototype.
You can make a simple daisy or a more complex rose. Of course, the creation process itself will be almost identical. The only difference is that the flowers will have different shapes.
Choosing the right material
Balloons serve as the material for creating crafts. And so it is necessary to choose quite carefully. After all, the right choice depends on how easy and pleasant the work process will be.
Immediately it is necessary to note the fact that the purchase of too thin balloons is better to give up. Of course, such material costs an order of magnitude cheaper. But in this case, cheapness means low quality. And so it is not the best option.
It is recommended to give preference to those balloons that have higher strength. It is easy enough to inflate them, but they will not burst due to greater strength.
Chamomile out of inflatable balloons
Before you start, you need to prepare everything you need: balloons, glue, string and fishing line. Of course, it is not superfluous to buy in advance and a special device for inflating balloons - a pump. With it the work will go much faster. But its purchase is still not required.
When all necessary materials and tools are ready, you can begin directly to work.
From long balls.
The most commonly used in the work it is long inflatable balloons. This can be explained by the fact that they are convenient to twist.
- We inflate 5 balloons. They should be the same color. These will be the petals of the daisy.
- Tie the inflated balls in two groups - two and three balls.
- Now inflate the middle flower.
- After that, you need to connect the middle with petals.
Such a daisy can be used for decorating, for example, walls. But if the master wishes to create a complete composition, the best option would be to model the pedicel. But this is not a prerequisite.
From round balls
The principle of working with these balloons is not too different. You just need to inflate all 5 balls in turn, and then connect them to each other. After that, you can attach a pedicel to the base.
An important aspect is that all the balls should have the same size. After all, the petals of the daisy does not differ in size, they are all the same.
For this reason, it is better to use a pump, rather than trying to inflate the balloon with your mouth. You can use balloons of different colors if the master does not set out to create a realistic composition.
Beautiful balloon iris
Iris are very unusual flowers that are loved by many women. Therefore, a good gift will be the presentation of such a floral composition.
To work, you will need balloons of not only green, but also purple and yellow colors. Having prepared them in advance, you can begin to create a composition:
- take a purple balloon, inflate it and twist it into a figure eight;
- Now fold the resulting sausage in half and make a twist, but only from one edge;
- proceed to make the stem of the flower from a green ball, connecting the sausages to each other.
To make the flower look more realistic, it is necessary to add the middle yellow color. After all, these real irises have it exactly in this color. After that, the only thing left is to join all the parts of the composition.
Rose for decorating and gifting out of balloons
Today, many present as a gift to the birthday boy not fresh flowers, but those that were made from inflatable balloons. Such a variant of the gift is very popular, so it is not surprising that artists are trying to quickly learn the technique of making roses from balloons.
Fortunately, it is much easier to do than some people think. Firstly, you need to prepare in advance the necessary materials and tools. Secondly, it is necessary to determine the technique of execution. For beginners will suit the scheme:
- Using an ordinary pump, inflate a long balloon;
- clamping the tip with your finger, hide it inside so that it is not visible;
- carefully roll up the first bubble, not too hard;
- twist one petal;
- Pass a small ball through it to make a heart;
- form the next petal;
- attach the second red sausage to the composition and make a twist to make 3 more petals;
- Tie one more inflated ball to make an additional petal, which should have an oval shape.
We have several free petals, which should now be connected to each other. But here you can not use the usual principle of sequence.
After all, petals in a real rose are not fixed consistently, and in some kind of chaotic order. Therefore, the petals should stick into each other, so that they look more realistic and really resemble a rose from the side.
Unusual flowers
Of course, many craftsmen choose as a prototype a real flower that most people are familiar with. In other words, it is recognizable.
However, one should not limit one's own imagination. Aerodesign gives the opportunity to show it as best as possible. Because with the help of beautiful multicolored balloons you can create a completely new and unusual flower.
At the same time, the process of creating such a flower will not take too much time. It is also not complicated and is ideal for creating an interesting composition. For work, you can take balls of any color.
The brighter the color of balloons, the more the composition will stand out. Therefore, for a celebration this is the best option.
To create flowers, which will have six petals, it is acceptable to use not only long, but also ordinary inflatable balloons. Of course, it is easier to make a flower out of ordinary ones. Therefore, more often the preference for such a technique is given by novice masters:
- Take 7 round balloons of any color and inflate them.
- Make a bundle of three in each.
- Use the seventh balloon as the middle. Traditionally it should be yellow, but it is not required.
- Now connect all the balls and check the fixation.
As you can see, everything is quite simple. Therefore, even a child can cope with this task. But if you want to make it a little harder, you can make a flower with 6 petals of long balls.
Working scheme in this case is identical to the one that should be used to create a daisy. Simply twist the sausage in 3 points and arrange an accordion. For more realism, do not forget to use the middle yellow or any other contrasting color.
Basic safety rules
The ease of working with balloons was the reason that many parents began to actively teach their children to aerodynamic design and create beautiful crafts. Indeed, it takes little time to master the technique, and children even grasp everything on the fly.
But the main mistake parents make is that they overlook the importance of explaining to children the rules of safety when working with inflatable balls. After all, it seems that the baby simply can not get hurt. But this is not true.
In fact, injuries are quite possible. That is why it is so important to follow certain safety rules:
- When inflating the balloon may burst, so it is better not to keep it too close to his face. After all, under the pressure of the air the ruptured rubber can rather painfully hit the master in the face;
- Round balls should never be used for twisting, they are simply not designed for such manipulations;
- It is recommended to work in protective gloves, and from long nails and have to refuse at all;
- alcoholic dyes are destructive to the material, destroying it. Therefore, only water-based markers and paints may be used;
- Do not use balls that are not twisted correctly in your work. They are considered defective.
Another unspoken rule is to work in special safety glasses. They reliably protect the eyes and prevent injuries. It is allowed to use not only glass, but also ordinary plastic glasses.
Observing the elementary rules of safety, you can create beautiful crafts and learn any technique. Children will surely be delighted with such a fun pastime.
