We are studying a master class on making a cornflower flower from foamiran
Required materials and tools:
- Foamiran in green, blue and lilac colors;
- Foil;
- Tape;
- Wire;
- Glue for foamiran;
- Iron;
- Materials for tinting.
We cut out blanks for the petals from blue foamiran, as shown in the photo. For the core of the flower, cut out a blank in the form of a small strip of lilac color with fringe.
Now each petal needs to be applied to a hot iron for a couple of seconds, the petals should bend a little.
Using foamiran glue we glue our petal into a bell. This must be done very carefully so that the seam and protruding excess glue are not visible.
In total you need to make six such bells.
Take a fringed strip of lilac foamiran, apply it to the iron and roll it into a roll. While the roll has not cooled down, place it on a flat surface with the fringe down, press and twist.
We unfold the roll, glue the wire onto it from one edge and twist the wire inward. At this stage, you can tint the middle a little to make the flower look more natural.
Let's start making sepals. To do this, we need foil, which must be crumpled into an egg-shaped shape and covered with a strip of green foamiran.
After that, take another piece of foamiran, drop a little hot glue into the center and begin to pull this piece onto the foil. We do this very carefully - although hot glue makes the foamiran very elastic, it can still be easily torn.
Second way
Prepare corrugated paper of blue, dark blue and green colors, 0.3 mm and about 1 mm wire, PVA glue, semolina and scissors.
We cut out a strip of dark blue paper, the width of which is 1.5-2 cm. We cut teeth on one edge of it, which we twist with our fingers. Now we drip glue onto one end and attach a thick wire, it will act as a stem.
For now, let's put the workpiece aside. From blue corrugated paper, cut out a strip 6-7 cm wide and fold it in half lengthwise; to make it more natural, you can fold it so that one edge is slightly higher than the other. We also cut out the edges in the form of triangles.

You can wrap the entire strip around the finished base. Or you can cut into sections and attach one by one.
We cut out long leaves from green paper, glue a thinner wire to their base and attach it to the stem. We cover the stem itself with a strip of green corrugated paper.
As a finishing touch, dip the tips of the core into glue and semolina.
Cornflowers from foamiran - master class on making a flower and a bright hairpin
In this master class we will tell you how to make cornflowers from foamiran and decorations based on these delicate flowers.
Flowers made from foamiran have firmly established themselves in our lives - children's hairpins with flowers, interior compositions, dolls and much more. We decided to dedicate this master class to a flower as blue as the sky, a delicate and incredibly beautiful cornflower made from foamiran. It was the cornflower that was the favorite flower of Emperor William 1 and his dear mother, Queen Louise. All the charm and beauty of cornflower can only be appreciated by people with a pure soul and a kind heart.
How to make a cornflower pattern from foamiran
We cut two squares 4x4 cm from sky-blue foamiran, a strip of 1.5x5 cm from blue, narrow straws measuring 0.1–0.2x2 cm from white.
We make circles from the squares, divide them into 8 parts, without cutting 0.5 cm to the middle. Then we make cloves on each sector. We also cut the blue strip into cloves.
Tinting foamiran with pastels and assembling cornflower
We tint the carved ends on round parts on both sides.
Bend the wire, glue the beginning of the blue strip to it, make one turn. Glue white straws to the blue stripe.
We twist the strip, coating it with glue. The round parts have unusually shaped petals with jagged ends. Glue each petal at the base, as shown in the photo.
From green foamiran we make a leaf and two sepals of different sizes.
Fold the sepals and rub all the leaves at once with your fingers. We repeat the same thing with the leaf and the center of the cornflower. We draw longitudinal lines along the sheet with a toothpick.
We turn one part inside out and chop it off with a toothpick so that the petals are located opposite each other.
Glue the petals of the parts together at the base point.
Take out the toothpick and thread the core through the wire.
Cut off three small green circles and glue them to the cornflower.
Glue the first sepal. Then add a smaller sepal.
We wrap the leg with tape to the place where the leaf will be. Glue the sheet and continue wrapping the leg.
We tint the ends of the blue core with white paint, applying it with a toothpick.
We tint the stem and leaf a little with yellow pastels.
If you use cornflower in decoration, you can cut the stem to the desired length or remove it completely.
Third option
To begin with, take black threads and wind them around four folded fingers in 50-60 turns. Then we remove it from the hand and bandage it in the middle.
We cut the side folds, making a tassel. This will be our middle ground.
Preparing the peduncle. To do this, cut out a strip of approximately one centimeter wide from green corrugated paper and wrap it around a piece of wire.
Apply glue to the center of the center piece and attach it to the top of the stem. It's better to use a hot glue gun.
Dip the ends of the stamens first in PVA glue, then in semolina.
Let's start making the petals. For the first row, cut out a strip of blue corrugated paper 25-30 cm long and fold it three to four times, after smoothing out the folds of the paper with your fingers. We cut the top edge, making a fringe.
Having unfolded the strip, we twist the ends of the fringe into flagella.
Now we begin preparing the outer row of petals. For it, we cut out a strip of blue paper 35-40 cm long and wider than the previous one. Smooth out and fold six times.
We cut the edge into small triangles.
We begin directly assembling the flower. To do this, we wrap the bases of the stamens first with a strip of the inner row, then the outer one. For greater splendor, the strip of outer petals can be folded into an accordion. We use glue, maybe PVA. For greater reliability, we wrap the finished flower with thread.
Now you need to refine the base of the flower. Simply use a strip of green corrugated paper and glue to wrap the bottom of the flower, smoothly moving onto the stem. We cut out long leaves from the same paper and attach them just below the bud.

We make another such flower and one with only inner petals. We make a bouquet.
