RIBBON BASKET

Send

The souvenir 12 cm high is made of satin ribbons, decorated with flowers from foamiran.

For its manufacture, we take the following materials:
- a piece of thick foam.
- satin ribbon 1 cm wide bright green in color, 3.5 meters long.
- pins with round heads.
- wire.
- medical plaster in a roll.
- scissors.
- toothpicks.
-crops of white, pink and green foamiran.
- Moment glue.
- a piece of green foil.
- yellow half beads.
And let's get started with polystyrene foam. Cut a cube with sides 7x4 cm and a height of 5 cm. Round the corners.

Retreating 0.5 cm from the edge, we stick pins with heads at a distance of 1 cm between each other. I got 16 pieces.

But the same row of pins is needed on the opposite side of the workpiece.

Now we take the selected tape 1 cm long at 3.5 meters. We fix the edge of the tape on one of the midpoints of the circles of pins. We loop around the pin and stretch it to the parallel lower needle. We also circle it with tape and rise up, again we turn it around the needle and go down to another pin. So we move around the circle, capturing in turn the upper, then the lower.

When they reached the beginning of the first fastening, the movement of the tape must be changed.

Now the ribbon will move along the needles of only the top row. We circle the first pin and go to the second, moving along the entire row. Having reached the first needle, repeat another row and when two rows are ready, lower the ribbon down to the next circle of pins.

And on the bottom circle one row of twists will be enough.

Now you should fix all the pins, firmly pressing them to the base. And the middle, on which the edges of the tape are fixed, must be covered by gluing a form of green foil. This will be the bottom of the basket.

The base of the tapes is ready. Now we pierce the foam with a wire parallel to the upper edge, backing 1 cm down. We bend the wire in the shape of a handle, and simply twist the free ends.

On one side of this handle we fasten the ribbon and tie a bow.

In this form, let's leave this basket. Let's start making flowers. From scraps of pink and white plastic suede, cut the petals in the form of droplets 1.5-2 cm tall. There will be 13 pieces of flowers. And for one we take 7-8 petals, 2 leaves of any shape from green suede and a toothpick.

Glue the first two petals tightly pressed to the base.

And all other petals are also fixed with glue "Moment" in a circle, lubricating only the bottom of the workpiece.

When the flower is collected, add two green leaves.

Now the flowers are all ready. Sharp edges can be broken off. It is at your discretion.

We return to our basket and plant all the flowers, just sticking them into the foam. Basket full of flowers. Getting to the handle. We wrap the whole wire with a medical plaster.
