Foamiran Flower Tutorial 

Materials 

• Foamiran Sheets- these are foam sheets which are thinner than the easily available craft foam 
• Flower Shapes- Hand cut or die cut foam flowers. I used Crealies Flower dies in this project.
• Inking Medium - Soft pastels or distress inks or anything else which you like- feel free to experiment!
• Adhesive- hot glue gun
• Pollen

I had tried shooting a Video Tutorial  but it's  been raining here in Bangalore and lighting has been very poor but since there are hardly any complicated steps ...I will share a step by step pictorial and hope you will bear with me!

1.Die cut flower shapes from foamiran - use 4-5 flower shapes to create one 3 D flower.

Tip :Die-cut 4-5 layers of foam in one go using your flower die- this not only helps save time but also helps to thin out your foam

 2. After the optional step of inking  your flower , fold the flower in half and half again as shown in the picture above.
3. Twist this folded flower  between your fingers- this helps to spread your soft pastel shading and also makes your foam flower more wavy and pliable

 4. Snip off a little from the pointed tip[ which is actually the flower center]

 The beautiful window was cut using a Crealies dies and actually opens and closes on its hinge.I used Crealies dies to cut the base and the layered circles. The angel is handmade using clay and a silicon mould. The cute bow was cut using Crealies dies and glitter foam.

Handmade Embellishment

The crystal flower rests on a mosaic made with the Crealies Decorette XL no.12 die.

 The little purple buds  peeking from between the large flowers were also made using the same Crealies flower dies.
