Such floral decorations are very similar to natural ones, therefore they are very popular among needlewomen. Foamiran is called plastic rubber or suede, but let’s figure out what this material actually is.

What is foamiran and where to buy it

Foamiran is a new synthetic Iranian material recently imported to Russia. Its name comes from the name of the producing company “FoamIran”. Foam is a popular material, because its rich color range allows you to create very realistic compositions and toys. The material easily takes any shape, and volume is added to the workpiece using light heating with an iron. Foamiran is environmentally friendly, and you can buy it in handicraft stores. At an affordable price, plastic suede is sold in online stores that deliver to any region of Russia.

Then all you have to do is attach a pin, hairpin or headband to it, and the stylish decoration is ready.

How to make topiary

Topiary is a tree of happiness. When it is made using foamiran, it looks very stylish, elegant and beautiful, creating coziness in any interior. This is an excellent choice for those who do not like to care for indoor plants, and the combination of many bright colors in the composition adds originality to floristry. To create a topiary with your own hands, you will need a bouquet of ready-made flowers, a flowerpot and any decor that you need to fill the flowerpot, securing the stems of the future tree.

Foamiran flowers using figured hole punches for a wreath

MK gerbera brooch

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

To carry out MK we will need the following types of materials:

1. Porous foamiran. To make the craft as realistic as possible, purchase material with a thickness of no more than 1 mm. We will need dark green, dark pink and light pink canvas.
2. Fixation tape, which can be light green or green.
3. Water-based acrylic paints. To make the artificial flower interesting and as realistic as possible, purchase dark pink, marsh and yellow shades of paint.
4. Volumetric thick wire that 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 floral 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. Nail scissors and a standard glue gun. You can use any manicure tool that can easily cut foamiran.
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 hand drawn. With its help we will form the petals and components of our bud. When everything you need is on the table, you can begin to create a peony step by step.

1. Cutting 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;
   - Z – 3 leaves of a dark green hue;
   - 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.

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

   

2. Tinting leaves and petals

   Using acrylic paint, we lightly tint the petals of our peony, trying to get the effect of a non-uniform color (either darker towards the edge of the petal, or darker closer to the base). To do this we need a small brush with which we paint all the petals on both sides.
   

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

   
   
   

3. Corrugation of leaves and petals

   The initial stage will be corrugating the petals B. We fold the workpiece in small folds according to the “accordion” principle.
   

   

4. Flower assembly

   We prepare the base on which many peony petals will be fixed. To do this, we form a tight ball from foil, the diameter of which should not exceed 1.5 cm. If you decide to use a bead, make sure that it has a wide enough hole. We pierce a hole in the foil ball, pour glue into it and immediately thread 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 in yellow acrylic paint, and then attach 10 petals A to them using a glue gun.
   
   
   We fix the petals B, folded like an accordion at the base, so that small folds are obtained. In this way we secure 10 light pink and 5 dark pink petals.
   
   
   Next next to each other we glue 5 petals C, and behind them, in a checkerboard pattern, 5 more of the same blanks.
   
   
   The pre-final stage will be gluing five petals D in a checkerboard pattern in relation to the previous ones.
   
   
   And the creation of the final row of the 5 largest petals of E.
   
   
   We fix the sepals and begin to collect leaves as shown in the photo.
   
   

   Decorate the hairpin with a lush poppy

   A red foamiran poppy is a great way to decorate any hair accessory or diversify a flower bouquet consisting of wild plants.
   
   
   To create it we will need:

   • dense foamiran in black, green and red shades;
   • acrylic paint (red and white);
   • bright pastels and a sponge for tinting;
   • simple threads, a piece of foil, an iron and curly scissors;
   • automatic hairpin without decorations;
   • 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.

   We draw paper templates by hand 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.
   
   
   We 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 out sharp corners with curly scissors.
   
   
   Lightly touching our petal with a sponge, apply white paint on one side to the bottom of the petal.
   
   
   We cut out a circle from green foamiran, put a ball of foil 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. We turn the ends over (turn them inside out) and glue them. You can lightly tint the core, first with red and then with white paint.
   
   
   We begin assembling the flower by gluing the fringe.
   
   
   We form poppy petals by heating the material on an iron set to “silk-wool” mode. We fold the warm pieces like an accordion, twist them and stretch out the middle a little. We do this with all the petals.
   
   
   We paint the fringe a little white. We begin to glue the petals overlapping, forming rows. First there are 4 petals in one row.
   
   
   Then we glue the large petals below the first row by about 1-2 mm, also slightly overlapping.
   
   
   We cut out the leaves and apply texture to them, tinting with paint and shading it with a sponge on both sides.
   
   
   
   
   Glue the leaves by sprinkling them with phlox powder.
   
   
   The flower is ready. Now all we have to do is glue it to the automatic hairpin using a hole punch or glue. You can do your hair!

Beautiful crafts made from foamiran are in great demand among modern consumers. The products are obtained as natural. This type of material is perfectly resistant to any deformation and heating at a minimum temperature. On the surface of the foamiran you can apply textured lines and make various tints.

The products are neat and pleasant to the touch. Most often, flowers and various decorations are made from it. We offer detailed descriptions of how to make crafts for beginners. Advice from professionals will help you make a quality product.

Simple crafts from foamiran

The Internet contains many ideas for crafts and instructions for making crafts from plastic suede. For beginning needlewomen, it is recommended to start with simpler product options. They do not require special skills when working with the material.

We suggest starting with making a doll. To do this you need to prepare:

sheets of foamiran in beige, orange and pink;

• scissors;
• a simple pencil;
• wire;
• round polystyrene foam blank;
• high fixation glue;
• markers for drawing eyes and nose.

We cut out 4 strips of foamiran, 3 cm wide. The length of the blanks is 15 cm. Next, we glue 3 strips in the form of a ring. After this you will need 2 more small strips. We glue them on top of the rings. This makes a voluminous bow for the dress.

Foamiran is a synthetic material, pliable and soft, created for crafts and needlework. He is very malleable and is able to help realize the author’s wildest ideas. In the article below, we will look at exactly what kind of foamiran crafts you can create with your own hands and tips and instructions for beginners.

From foamiran, more simply Thomas, you can create amazing things. It can be:

• flowers for decorations and room decor: baskets, vases, etc.;
• cones, berries, Christmas trees and other vegetation;
• dolls

Foam decor can be used to decorate any craft, gift box, or accessories. Flowers and other individual elements can be used to create jewelry and interior items. To work and create crafts with your own hands from foamiran, it is important to have and be able to use special tools; we will list them and describe them for beginners.

Firstly, this is the fomiran itself. It is important to choose it correctly. The most popular among needlewomen is the Iranian fom. It is plastic, quite strong and has a wide color palette.

Depending on what you plan to craft, you can choose a thinner or denser material. There is even foamiran covered with sparkles or with a pattern. It can be used to create dolls or any compositions that do not require small and fragile parts, like flowers.

In addition to foamiran, molds may be required. They are needed when working on creating flowers. Mold helps create texture and pattern on foamiran. There are molds of petals or leaves of different colors: orchids, lilies, and so on, there are molds that will help you make a relief or any ornament on the surface: imprints of shells, a decorative border, and so on.

It is better to glue foamiran parts using thermal glue or Moment Crystal glue.

In addition, sometimes it is necessary to shade the foamiran. This is necessary when creating flower petals or clothing parts for dolls. In this case, pastels can come in handy. It needs to be rubbed and the resulting powder applied to the part using a brush. You can also use acrylic paints to clearly draw a pattern or elements of a face, for example.

A special place in working with foamiran is occupied by giving shape to parts. If you're making a flower, for example, the petals are usually curved. In this case, foamiran is very pliable; it changes shape when heated. You can even heat it with your hands. Sometimes you need to apply a piece of the fom to a heated iron, then it quickly bends in the opposite direction from the iron.

Advice! The iron should not be heated too much, at medium temperature; to do this, place the pointer on the iron at two.

After the fom is heated, it will still be quite pliable for some time and you can give it the desired shape by kneading it with your fingers. But you need to be very careful, as thin foamiran breaks easily.

And now a detailed master class on making crafts from foamiran with your own hands for beginners.

Flowers and decorations from foma

The most common crafts made from foamiran are flowers. They are used to create interior compositions and decorations. Let's try to make a hairpin with a poppy from foamiran.

Foamamarin poppy

To work we will need:

1. Foamiran in green, red and black colors.
2. Clay for the box. It can be self-hardening or baked.
3. Pattern of a poppy petal and leaf on thick paper.
4. The wire is thin, but flexible, suitable for floral purposes or for decorations, which holds its shape.
5. Molds for poppy petal and leaf.
6. Pastel and acrylic paint, brush.
7. Glue.
8. Iron.
9. Base for hairpins.
10. Scissors, stationery knife, thin-nose pliers and wire cutters.

When everything is ready, let's proceed:

1. We make a base from the wire, bending the edge into a loop with thin-nose pliers. We place crushed clay on it, molded into a ball. We make cuts on the ball and draw the texture of the poppy box. We paint the finished hardened box green.
2. We make a fringe for the box from a strip of black foamiran, cutting it from one edge into thin strips. We wrap the fringe several times around the box and attach it with glue.
3. Rubbed dark gray or black pastel can be used to tint the box with a brush.
4. Using the pattern, cut out 8 poppy petals. We first tint each petal at the base with pastel, then heat it with an iron and apply it to the mold, then lightly shape it with our fingers.
5. Glue all the petals one by one to the poppy in a circle.
6. We do the same with green leaves. Make 2-3 leaves.
7. Then bite off the wire from the back and glue the poppy to the base for a pin or brooch.

This is how you can quickly and easily make your own stylish and bright decoration.

Fofucha dolls

These funny and stylish foamiran dolls came to us from Brazil. It was there that these cuties were invented. Making them is quite simple, but you need to apply maximum accuracy and imagination.

For the doll's face and body, use a flesh-colored foam, wire and a foam ball.

Making the head:

1. We cut off a square of flesh-colored shape, heat it on an iron and immediately wrap it around a foam ball. Try to smooth the fom and pull it beyond the boundaries of the half of the ball. Glue the edges with hot glue and trim off the excess.
2. We paste over the second half of the ball in the same way, but take the color of the doll’s hair, brown, for example.
3. Then we make ponytails from Foma strips collected in a bun. We attach the bundles to a pin in the right places and fix them with glue.
4. The head is ready, stick the wire down and stick it with the other edge into the foam cone.
5. We paint the face with acrylic paints.
6. We make the dress from a semicircle cut from faux paper of any color. You can decorate the dress with a painted ornament and glued pockets or lace.
7. Then we glue the handles on the sides. We cut them out of flesh-colored fabric according to a prepared pattern.
8. We make the legs from two pieces of wire wrapped in a roll of flesh-colored material. We stick them with one side into the body from the cone, and glue the other side to the feet.
9. We make the feet from halves of small foam balls, covered with flesh-colored foamiran, like the head, and pasted over with strips of colored foamiran.

The doll's outfit, hairstyle and face can be customized to suit your taste. Such a beauty will delight the owner and create a bright, cheerful mood.

Foamiran is a very convenient material for making artificial flowers used in creating magnets, dolls, jewelry and gift packaging.

The technology for creating flowers involves drawing the outlines of petals onto the material and then cutting out the parts using scissors and gluing the petals together to form a flower bud. Flowers are joined into bouquets using special wire and decorated with ribbons, baskets and wrapping paper.

Roses

Make templates of petals of various sizes on a sheet of paper or cardboard, cut them out, attach them to foamiran and mark the borders along the contour with a needle.

Cut the petals along the marked contours.

Iron each petal with a hot iron (for 1-2 seconds) and immediately give the material a curved shape. Make such bends on all the blanks, while the smallest ones, which will be closer to the center, should be folded, and make the large outer petals wide and slightly open at the edges.

Take a piece of special floral wire and make 5 droplet-shaped blanks from foil, put them on the stems.

Cover the foil bud with petal blanks.

Create blanks for leaves from cardboard, transfer them to foamiran and cut them out, creating natural edges like real leaves. Place them on a wire and glue small leaves to the unopened buds.

Collect ready-made flowers into a bouquet, wrap it with a ribbon and use it as a gift or interior decoration.

Lily

1. Cut out the blanks in the form of elongated petals, heat them with an iron and give them a neat flower shape by pressing the veins in the center with a wooden stick or toothpick.
2. At the base, draw dots with a brown felt-tip pen, like lilies.
3. From small pieces of foamiran, form the pistils and stamens of a flower.
4. Assemble all the details into a lily-shaped bud: the stamens will be in the center, and glue the petals along the edges.
5. Cover the bases with green leaves.
6. The finished craft in the form of lilies can be used as a decoration for a hairpin or brooch, or you can put the flowers on a wire and create a bouquet like from real flowers.

Snowdrops

Templates for snowdrops are heart-shaped and droplet-shaped, with the help of which you need to cut out several parts from foamiran.

Heat the blanks, give them a curved shape and secure the buds to the wire. Wrap the stems with green tape and create leaves from pieces of green material.

Place the finished snowdrops in a small pot and use them as decoration for a room or holiday table.

Handmade decorations

Foamiran can be used to decorate any finished items of women's jewelry - brooches, hairpins, elastic bands, bracelets, earrings.

The work process includes cutting out parts, giving them the appropriate shape and gluing them to the main product.

Floral motifs are used as templates for decoration - petals and buds with leaves, which are made using the same technology as ordinary decorative flowers for bouquets.

Foamiran toys

Using this flexible material, you can create dolls, animal figurines, butterflies and many other interesting crafts.

Bright, varied colors allow you to make many beautiful and interesting toys that will appeal to both adults and children.

Dolls

Prepare material for work in beige, red and black colors, as well as foamiran in a bright shade or with a multi-colored variegated pattern - to create a doll dress.

Cut out the parts for the toy using a pre-printed template.

Take a large foam ball, place a heated sheet of material on it and pull it to the middle of the figure, trim off the excess edges.

Repeat the same steps with beige foamiran and attach both parts, joining them to each other.

Lay out the pattern for the body in the shape of a cone, place half a smaller ball in it and cover it with a blank for the doll’s underwear.

Cover two wooden sticks with flesh material.

Make shoes from halves of medium-sized foam balls, glued with pieces from small balls, cover the blanks with flesh-colored foamiran.

Place the head blank on a toothpick or a pointed stick and attach it to the doll’s body; attach or glue the legs and arms in the same way.

The toy's outfit can be made from multi-colored pieces, and for figures in the form of animals, it is necessary to prepare and glue a tail and ears.

Christmas tree

1. As a base, take cardboard and roll it into a cone, fasten the edges with a stapler or glue.
2. Cut strips two centimeters wide from foamiran.
3. Cut them into fringes, leaving 0.3-0.5 cm on each edge.
4. Warm up the material and cover the frame with it, lifting the fringe like spruce branches.
5. Decorate the finished Christmas tree with red beads, ribbons or tinsel.

Having mastered the basic methods of working with foamiran, you can easily create any toys, decorations, flower arrangements, giving the details any bends and shapes.

Finished products are also suitable for gift decoration, and the appearance of crafts made from foamiran will look professional and natural even for novice needlewomen.
