Scrapbooking - the art of preserving warm andbright memories in the form of postcards, photo albums and photographs, as well as other memorable trivia. The name of this handicraft comes from the English words scrap - scrapbook, book - a book that can be translated as a "scrapbook". Masters use in their work special techniques: aging pages (distressing), the creation of stamps (stamping) and convex elements (embossing). The only drawback of this hobby is the high cost of consumables. But many of them can be done by themselves. Flowers for scrapbooking - one of the popular elements of decor, which is often decorated with frames and gift wraps.
To create one bud, you need the following materials:
To create a bud you need to make twostencil of different sizes: we draw on a thick paper a five-petalled flower, cut it out and make another one, but a little smaller. The edges can be left uneven, then they will look more natural. There are two such templates. Before you make flowers for scrapbooking with your own hands, moist wipes are dried, otherwise they will not take the desired shape. Fold the napkin three times, overlay a larger pattern on it and circle it with a pencil. Repeat with a smaller template, without capturing the outline. We make slits between the petals, after which we separate the layers.
How to make flowers for scrapbooking yourself? The master class consists of several stages:
We make the color of the desired color in plasticcover, try the tone on an unnecessary part of the napkin and, if we are satisfied, start painting the blanks, dipping them into the liquid. Squeeze and unfold the petals to dry - a wet napkin will not keep the shape. Speed up drying by using a hairdryer. Now take the candle - it will help make the edges of the flowers round, give them a convex shape. We carry each petal over the candle, trying not to scorch the edges.
At the next stage, we fasten the layers together,imposing them on each other with a shift to achieve a natural look. Glued and wait for complete drying. From felt and non-woven fabric, you can also make flowers for scrapbooking. Patterns of paper are used the same. The only difference: when using non-woven fabric, you need to make a lower layer of opaque material.
One bud needs about 20 stamens - thantheir more, the more splendid the middle of the flower will be. From the wire cut off about 3 cm and pull it in the middle of 10 double stamens. Now add the resulting bunch in half to form the core. All stamens should not be on the same level. Carefully make a cross-shaped slit in the center of the assembled parts using scissors, apply glue on both sides. We stretch the wire through the middle, cut off the excess. Hold the end, straighten the middle. On the reverse side of the flower, we distribute the tips of the stamens in a circle so that they do not interfere with the work.
Make flowers for scrapbooking yourselfpreferably with a green base - so they will look complete. You can make it in the same way as the petals - cutting out a piece in the shape of a star from the napkin and toning it with a green salad. The edges should not be perfectly even. Another option: use a floral tape for this. The resulting leaves are glued to the base. You can improve the flower, making it more rigid - then it will be more convenient to use it in work. To do this, we raise a little glue, take a wide brush, pat the petals with this solution and leave it to dry. The finished flower can be additionally toned with paint or covered with glitter.
Flowers for scrapbooking with their own hands also makefrom paper. They can create any color and size. To work will require special blanks under the petals: we cut five-petalled flowers from watercolor paper, and on the top of each petal we make small notches. One product will need 4 workpieces.

Let's start creating flowers:
We form the middle of a rose from a napkin, rolling downa small ball and fixing it with glue. Then rotate the first blank with the unpainted side up and glue the core into the center. We fold the bud: apply the glue and twist the petals in pairs, wrapping the middle. The next workpiece is glued to the bud and we have the petals so that they go over each other. On the next layer, the petals do not completely close, stretching them to the sides, we form the cone from the lower part, so that it easily enters the recess of the last billet. We combine with the bud to make the petals staggered. Rosochka is ready.
