Fluffy skirts, tutu skirt. How to sew a tutu skirt from tulle, organza and chiffon with your own hands? Types of packaging for flowers Arrangement of organza bouquets

What could be more elegant, concise and beautiful than a complete floral arrangement of flowers and greenery, skillfully decorated with packaging materials.
To ensure that your bouquets always attract the eyes of buyers, let's look at the types of flower packaging and consider in which case each of them will be most appropriate.
Let's start with the fact that the packaging is natural and synthetic. While it is believed that natural packaging looks more noble, synthetic materials are also widely used by experienced florists and have their own advantages.

Consider the most popular synthetic packaging materials.

1. Color and transparent film one of the most popular and available materials in the design of bouquets. A wide variety of colors and a relatively low price make the film the most popular material among bouquet makers. In the arsenal of each florist, in addition to a plain and ornamented film of various colors, there must be a sufficient amount of white and transparent film for packaging elite flowers on tall stems.

1. Organza - smart synthetic packaging material with a sheen, often used by florists in wedding bouquets. Therefore, in stores specializing in the preparation of solemn bouquets, there should be a sufficient supply of white organza. But organza ribbons in bright colors are good to use in decorating packaging and wrapping stems.

1. artificial mesh has a wide variety of colors and shapes. It happens both plain and decorated with lurex. It goes well with other packaging materials, such as felt. Such packaging perfectly keeps its shape, therefore it is popular both as a full-fledged packaging material and as an element of packaging decor.

Now let's move on to natural packaging.

1. Felt - surprisingly light and soft to the touch, the material is perfect for packing a scattering of flowers. For this purpose, you can use both plain colored felt and felt with a colored print. This type of packaging is perfect for flowers with long stem. But florists still recommend packing lilies and very tall roses in cellophane, but in no case in color, as it simplifies the bouquet.

1. Sisal- natural fiber from the leaves of the agave, an excellent material for packaging flowers with a short stem and a stem of medium length. You can use both sisal rolls and ready-made sisal frames. However, it is worth remembering that it is worth choosing the color of such a package with extreme caution so as not to visually make the bouquet heavier. Best Option will use the flowers present in the bouquet. For example, a composition of red and pink flowers it is better to pack in pink sisal.
   In the design of interiors, gifts and bouquets, designers and florists also use soft sisal in bags.

1. Jute mesh and fiber - natural materials that give the bouquet a natural natural look. This type of packaging is used in status business bouquets, but it is better not to pack a romantic delicate bouquet in jute materials, as they give the flowers excessive severity. Ideally combined with these materials will be exotic flowers, such as strelitzia, anthurium, protea and others.
   Combinations of these materials are also interesting in compositions with dried flowers.

I would like to pay special attention ribbons used in floristry. Ribbons come in a variety of widths, densities and colors. In specialized stores you will find an abundance of colored satin and polypropylene ribbons with and without embossing; plain and patterned; a wide selection of ribbons, incl. and with decorative stripes; polypropylene metallized teip tapes; as well as ribbons imitating an aspidistra leaf. Also in the design of bouquets using coarse natural fabrics, jute has proven itself well. Which tape to choose in each case depends on the type of packaging used and the personal preferences of the florist.

making out flower arrangements it is worth remembering that bright bouquets are best packed in a transparent film. This will highlight the natural beauty of the flowers. If you are in doubt about color combination bouquet and packaging, it is better to use universal colors - beige, white and green.

Basic principles for creating flowers from organza

The creation of any, even the most exquisite, flower or complex composition begins with the preparation of parts and their connection in a certain sequence. The needlewomen came up with several techniques with which flower masterpieces are born:

• classic with bulbs,
• with heat treatment
• kanzashi,
• from tapes.

It is easier for beginners to master the technique using heat treatment of petals, and experienced craftswomen create their masterpieces using several techniques.

Classic floristry

This technique is called silk floristry or Japanese technique. ancient art creation of flowers from silk came from Japan. However, it also applies to other fabrics: viscose, cambric, organza. To make flowers, you will need a soldering iron and a set of special brass tools on the handle. It includes round balls of various diameters - bulbs, as well as trowels, knives, heels, hooks, dies and special tools for chrysanthemums, lilies of the valley and fantasy flowers.

The petals are cut out according to the pattern, starched or aged in gelatin and dried - due to this, the edges will not fray, and the petal will keep its shape.

To give natural curves, the petal-blank is placed on a special pad and passed over it with a hot tool. Then a flower is assembled from the finished petals on a thread.

Plain flowers with heat treated edges

The preparation of the petals is similar to the classical method: it is necessary to cut the blanks exactly according to the template.

So that the edges do not crumble and are not disheveled, they must be processed. This will require a candle. Since organza is made of synthetic fabric, it does not burn, but melts. This is simplicity and complexity at the same time: the petal easily acquires the necessary shape, but it must be carefully melted, otherwise you can ruin the workpiece by melting the excess. A feature of the melted edge of organza is a rounded edge of a darker shade. Thanks to her, the petals look especially charming.

A flower is assembled on a thread, and the core is decorated with beads, beads, sequins.

The flower will look more organic if the petals are not connected directly in the middle, but each one is slightly shifted.

Kanzashi

This technique is universal, as it allows you to make flowers both from blanks cut from fabric and use organza ribbons. The bottom line is that each petal is a repeatedly folded fabric. Fix individual elements it can be on a thread or melted over the flame of the edge, thus gluing them together.

The technique is most suitable for creating small flowers for decoration, photo frames, cards, decorating gift boxes and countless creative ideas.

Ribbon flowers

This technique is the first step in and a great option for beginner craftswomen. The organza ribbon has a hem so the petals look neat and only the edge needs to be fired. The width and length of the ribbon depends on the intended size of the flower. Creating flowers in this technique is a great option for co-creation with children.

Exquisite organza flowers for special occasions

In the techniques discussed above, the edges of the petals are only heat treated. You can add chic with a special finish instead of melting or on top of it. Such a flower will become an exquisite decoration of a wedding bouquet or a delicate decoration of clothes. Let's learn how to create elegant organza flowers, and the master class will help us with this.

For the manufacture of this type of organza flowers - perfect option, since it is quite rigid and will withstand the load of glitter or small beads glued onto the petals.

To make flowers we need:

• organza,
• transparent glue for fabric,
• white or silver glitter
• scissors and pins,
• sewing needle and thread to match the fabric.

First step. Cut out the petals according to the pattern. Required amount and dimensions depend on your idea. Two petals are enough for a gentle coaster under a cup.

Second step. Gently grease the edges of the petals with transparent glue, sprinkle them with glitter and dry.

If you are creating a flower to decorate clothes, then it is still better to melt the edges over the candle - this will prevent the threads from shedding, and then decorate with glitter.

Third step. With a thread to match the fabric, sew the middle of the petal with large stitches. When tightening, folds are formed, which must be secured with additional stitches. If you are making a napkin for a cup, you just need to slightly pull the folds and then straighten them, giving the flower airiness.

If you are new to flower making, first practice on scraps to find the right amount of folds.

Fourth step. Connect the finished petals into a flower with a needle and thread. The middle can also be decorated with glitter or beads. The finished flower head is glued to a wire or a wooden stick, which, if desired, is decorated with floral tape.

Each of us is well aware that a lot depends on how the bouquet is packed, but most of us simply do not know how to do this! That is why we prefer to buy ready-made bouquets, although in vain, you can learn how to pack them yourself!

Bouquets packed in organza are very beautiful and original. In addition, organza, as a packaging material for flowers, has been used relatively recently.

What is organza?

This is a slightly harsh translucent fabric, the shades of which can be varied. Due to its rigidity, this material perfectly holds its shape and does not crumble when cut. A variety of shades allows you to use this material for absolutely any color.

Do not forget that it is better to pack more noble plants in such a “rich” material, because it is rarely suitable for wild flowers. If desired, organza can be used in combination with a mesh or a regular film.

Having chosen the right shade, decide whether you will pack the whole bouquet at once or each flower individually. Cut the organza into 20 cm squares (for each flower) and take one large piece of organza (1.5 meters) for the entire bouquet.

We fold the small shreds in half and fold the “bag” on the outside, into which we place a bud and a branch of any beautiful ornamental plant. From below we wrap with a dense thread. We make each flower like this. After we take them in our hands and, cutting off the legs, we form the height of the future bouquet. We connect the flowers together with adhesive tape, and then wrap them with a dense corrugated paper, its color should be several tones darker than the color of organza, we fix it. Put aside.

The main flap along the upper edge with the help of a stapler is decorated with a decorative ribbon, the shade of which is a tone darker than the tone of the organza. Wrap the whole bouquet around the fabric so that the top is free, and at the base you need to tighten it tightly. You should get small tucks. We fix it tightly at the base.

After the bouquet needs to be decorated. Organza is straightened, laying it in waves. With the help of a stapler and staples, you can give the shape of folds or flounces. You can decorate with beads. It is especially necessary to highlight the edge of the bouquet, usually a voluminous bow and a bright satin ribbon are attached to it. A decorative butterfly or something similar is “seated” on top of one of the flowers. With decoration, try not to overdo it, everything should be in moderation.

For a florist, it is important to be able not only to compose a spectacular bouquet of flowers, but also to arrange it beautifully.

For packing modern stylish bouquets of flowers are used various materials: cellophane, burlap, mesh, felt, organza, sisal, film, etc.

In this free video tutorial, you will learn how to arrange and beautifully wrap a bouquet of flowers in sisal canvas. The master class is conducted by florist-designer Hitomi Gilliam.

Sisal is a decorative natural fabric made from the leaves of the agave plant. Sisal fabric is often used to decorate bouquets of flowers and floral arrangements. Sisal consists of natural fibers, so it always harmonizes with flowers and greenery, looks like a very natural addition to the bouquet. Sisal is not just a beautiful package, but a part of a floral arrangement.

Hitomi Gilliam used amour mesh sisal in pink and green to compose and package the stylish bouquet of flowers. We will make a bouquet in two colors: pink and light green. Therefore, we will select sisal packaging in the same color scheme.

First you need to prepare the packaging for the bouquet. Sisal fabric with aluminum wire gives a very interesting decorative effect, while such a package is quite durable.

Cut off a piece of sisal fabric from the roll. Glue a few pieces of double-sided adhesive tape in the center of the cut. We take a gold-colored wire, cut off a piece a little longer than the canvas. We twist the wire around the edges. Spiral rings at the ends of the wire are also an important decorative element of our design. We apply the wire in the center of the canvas, glue it. We fold the canvas in half, glue it in the places where the adhesive tape is attached. Then we fold the sisal in the form of a fan and fix it with a thin wire. We bend the wire, giving our package the shape of a cone.
In the same way, we prepare the second part of the package from green sisal fabric. Look what an interesting combination of pink and green!

Now let's take care of the flowers. In our bouquet will be used pink roses, green spray chrysanthemums, green and pink orchids and decorative pink balls. Orchid flowers are placed in floristic test tubes with water and fixed in hollow tubes.

We begin to make our bouquet. Place three pink roses in the center. We collect all the flowers and wrap them with sisal cloth. We fix the bouquet with wire.

In conclusion, it is necessary to cut the stems of flowers and beautifully arrange the stem of the bouquet. We wrap the stems with a green cloth, which we fix with decorative gold wire. We twist the ends of the wire into spiral rings.

We made a very beautiful bouquet of roses, chrysanthemums and orchids, decorated with sisal fabric and gold wire. Such a spectacular bouquet can be easily assembled and packaged by yourself, with your own hands.
