Recently, the hobby of handicrafts and crafts made from various materials, including foamiran, has become popular and fashionable. Master classes are held on making various flowers, dolls and jewelry from this material.

Such products are used to decorate hairpins, headbands, clothes and shoes, and flowers from foamiran are also used to decorate interiors in the form of various panels and bouquets placed in vases.

Master classes on making flowers from foamiran for beginners can be easily found on the Internet.

Foamiran is a soft decorative foam sheet synthetic material, which is one of the types of suede fabric, also known as revelour, foam, plastic suede, foam rubber, foam EVA.

Thanks to its large palette of 20 to 24 tones and its malleable properties and structure, it is often used in handicrafts to make various toy figures, costume jewelry, artificial flowers, bouquets, and clothing decorations.

Foamiran consists of porous rubber, which is foamed using a special technology, and because of this it is very susceptible to various treatments and manipulations. The main property of foamiran is its pliability when exposed to even a slight elevated temperature. It becomes elastic and you can give it any desired shape and shape.

Plastic suede is another name for foamiran.

Chinese and Iranian foamiran is especially popular among needlewomen; it is inexpensive, of good quality and with unique properties.

Properties of foamiran:

• under the influence of the heat of the hands it takes the desired shape;
• when using an iron it becomes voluminous;
• retains the shape it was given after complete cooling;
• You can easily cut or cut out small parts using scissors;
• can be painted in any color, both with acrylic paints and pastel crayons;
• cut down using a composter or hole punch;
• The parts are connected with glue of strong and medium fixation.

When choosing foamiran, you need to know that there are several varieties.

The most popular and frequently used types:

• Iranian foam, which is produced using a special foaming technology, is produced in sheets of 60/60 cm, the thickness of the edges is uneven up to 1 mm;
• Turkish revelour, of uniform thickness and is available in both rolls and sheets;
• Korean foamiran, a material of good quality, retains its shape well, with a thickness of 0.6 to 1 mm.

For making floral arrangements or individual flowers, thin silk foam or glitter foam with glitter glitter is best suited. Marshmallow foam is excellent for making petals because of its airiness, softness, pliability, does not require heating and can be easily painted in the desired colors.

Foam is widely used in artificial floristry. This material is perfect for making a variety of colors and making compositions from them.

• white sheet foam;
• olive color revelour;
• green tape;
• wire for the stem;
• scissors;
• hot glue gun;
• acrylic paints and pastel crayons;
• iron.

Step-by-step instructions for creating a snowdrop consist of 3 stages: cutting, gluing and decorating.

Cutting

Instructions:

1. Using a toothpick, draw the outlines of flower petals, 3 large and 2 small, on a white sheet of foam.
2. We cut out the resulting snowdrop petals along the contour.
3. On the inside of the petals we tint them with green paint, pre-drawn hearts and painted over with chalk.
4. You need to lean the petal against the heated sole of the iron. It will stick at first, but as it heats up it will start to come off. Use your fingers to shape the petal into the desired shape before it cools. Repeat the procedure with all workpieces.
5. We make the center of the snowdrop from a purchased ready-made stamen, which is attached with glue to the wire-stem.

Gluing

Instructions:

1. First, small petals are attached to the wire with the stamen glued to it using a glue gun.
2. Large petals are glued on top of the stamen and small petals already collected together.
3. The result is a half-opened snowdrop

Decor

Instructions:

1. To create the effect of an open snowdrop, you need to bend the larger petals back and apply a little hot glue to their base. When the glue dries, the petal will remain in a bent position.
2. We make a stem from tape tape. We tear off the ribbon of the required length and cut it into 2 ribbons. We wrap them around the wire from below towards the bud in a spiral.
3. We create leaves from an olive-colored foam sheet. Cut out 1 small and 2 large oblong leaves. On large leaves we paint the middle with green chalk. Then use your fingers to give them the desired shape.
4. To make the snowdrop look natural, you need to bend the leaves and glue them together at the bend.
5. First glue one leaf to the bottom of the stem, and then the next few leaves.
6. We make a final inspection of the snowdrop and correct visible flaws with our fingers.

Foamiran flowers using figured hole punches for a wreath

MK gerbera brooch

Foamiran (FoamIran) is a soft sheet material in a palette of 20 or 24 colors (depending on the manufacturer), used in various types of needlework. The average sheet thickness is 1 mm. Foamiran is mainly made in China and Iran. Iranian is considered to be of higher quality, because... It was in Iran that the technique of making flowers from this amazing material originated. Foamiran can be painted and tinted with paints, patinas, and powders.
Foamiran is easy to shape using light heat (for example, applying to an iron or curling iron), twisting, stretching, processing with modeling tools, etc. After deformation, foamiran firmly retains its shape. That is why it is widely used for making topiary, flowers, jewelry (brooches, hairpins, elastic bands, headbands), dolls, and decorative elements for scrapbooking. Foamiran products are also used to decorate various premises (apartments, wedding and banquet halls, etc.). Flower brooches made of plastic suede do not wrinkle under outerwear, and this is a very valuable quality. Foamiran is an innovative material with endless potential for creativity, it is soft and silky to the touch. Its main feature is its ability to stretch slightly (up to 10%). This stretching is often enough for the material to take on and “remember” a new shape. This material is especially well shaped when exposed to the warmth of human hands (it does not get dirty or sticky). You can safely squeeze and twist the flexible suede, stretching it slightly. The material will easily take a new shape. However, excessive tension will cause the foamiran to rupture. The elasticity and relative strength of the material are due to the fact that foamiran contains ethylene and vinyl acetate. Plastic suede with a sheet thickness of about 1 mm is easily cut with scissors and cut out with shaped composters, as well as special cutting machines. Only specialized types of glue are suitable for working with plastic suede with strong fixation or a glue gun. Foamiran has a slightly porous structure, but at the same time has low water absorption. It is easy to clean, resistant to atmospheric influences and chemicals, non-toxic and harmless to the environment. The material is currently undergoing certification for the possibility of its use in children's creativity. You can also find it under the names: “Fom Eva”, “Foamiran”, “Foam” or “Foam”.

How to choose foamiran?

Most often, foamiran is made in Iran or China.Iranian EVA foam softer to the touch, thinner, with an uneven surface from 0.7 to 1.2 mm. The palette contains 22 natural colors. It is ideal for creating realistic flowers. Chinese foam is much denser and rougher, with a uniform surface. There are 25 different shades of colors in the palette. It is used in scrapbooking, to create dolls, jewelry and accessories.

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.

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.
