Preliminary preparation

To create flowers from the skin, you must first stock up the material. You can buy it in specialized sewing shops or find among the unnecessary things in your closet. Maybe you'll find an old leather cloak or boots. Old skin must be prepared beforehand. To do this, you need to open the thing at the seams and select the largest and whole pieces of skin. Then it should be washed and dried under the press to make it clean and smooth. You will also need different beads, beads, stones and any other decor - everything that you want to decorate your future creation. Also it is necessary to purchase special glue (for example, glue "Titan"). The rest of the material is selected depending on your model of the flower.

Some tricks:

• If you want to get flowers from the skin with curved edges, then you can do it with a candle. Fence the edges above the flame, but not much. As soon as you see that the skin is slightly bent, remove your workpiece. So it is necessary to process all the edges of the future flower;
• If you want to create a flower with the effect of compressed petals, then pre-prepare each petal. To do this, twist all the blanks in a tight tourniquet, in advance laying the future folds. Stretch the petal in the sides for three minutes. Then gently straighten the tourniquet, not straightening out the resulting folds;
• To create an imitation of veins on the sheets, you need to make small cuts in the right places on each petal. You can draw in advance how you can make an incision. But you can not do it right through. Further, all the veins are processed by the flame of a candle;
• If you want to change the skin color, use aerosol paint.

How to create flowers from the skin. Master Class

First, we draw on the thick cardboard the stencils of the petals. We make six large sheets and one small circle (the core of the flower). Create a vein on the sheets with a candle flame. We paint them and the middle in gold color with the help of an aerosol paint. Painting any product is best done always outdoors, not indoors. Next, we collect the flower, for this we glue each petal on the core from the underside of the product. Let's start the decor. We adorn the flower with various beads of gold color in the core. Petals are finished with the help of silver beads, which can be pasted or sewed. Ready flower is fastened with glue on a simple thin bezel.
