Exquisite flowers from old tights and wire

Amazing, delicate flowers can be made with old nylon tights in stock (preferably white and can be torn in places), nylon thread, fabric dyes, multi-colored wire, corrugated paper and a few more improvised items that you can easily find at home.

So, for starters, we paint the tights in the desired colors - lilac, red or pink for the petals and green for the leaves.

Making a wire blank for petals. To do this, wind the wire around a round tube, pipe or glass and twist the ends.

Next, we pull the nylon onto the workpiece and tie it at the base with a nylon thread. For one flower you need at least 5 petals. If desired, you can make the buds more voluminous. When all the petals are ready, we connect them together.

To make pistils and stamens, wind the cotton wool around the wire and paint it in the desired color. Insert them into the center of the bud.

Let's move on to creating the leaves. The principle is the same, only before fitting the workpiece with a cloth, give it the necessary shape. Gather the flower by covering the entire stem with crepe paper.
