How to make flower with foamy

Hi, everyone!!!

Flowers are one of the most appreciated things in the world. My grandmother loved flowers, especially roses. That is why today we will learn how to make beautiful flowers in EVA foam (foami, fomi).




These flowers are perfect for Mother's Day or Valentine's Day. I made them to decorate the bedroom of my young daughter.

Well, get to work!!

Materials:
  • Eva foam ( pink, purple, yellow & violet)
  • White paper (to trace the templates) 
  • Iron ( to heat the foam)
  • Acrylic paint (pink, purple & violet)
  • Fine-tipped paintbrush
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue gun

How to make it:
  • Let us first trace and cut the flower of our choice in the white paper. So we get our templates. I traced 3 different sizes of flowers.


  • Now you need to draw and cut the flowers in the foamy. I chose  pink and purple colors, but you can pick the colors of your choice.
  • To shape the foamy you need to iron it on low heat (always putting a cloth above it to avoid burning the foamy).When the foamy is hot you need to mold it with your fingers, ( with careful to avoid tearing it)
  • The next step is to glue all the pieces of each flower together.

  • And finally you can decorate your flowers with acrylic paint. (Another option is to decorate them with a permanent marker).


And presto!! We have some beautiful flowers ready to decorate anyplace in your house!!

Thank you for reading my blog, and until next time!!
