Balloons!It's always a good mood and always a holiday! We've already gotten used to the fact that you can decorate the interior for a home (and not only home) celebration with balloons. But, by the way, flowers made of balloons can be a great alternative to a bouquet of fresh flowers. Of course, if we're not talking about a romantic date or a marriage proposal (although, that's a matter of opinion). But in any case, such a gift will always be original, and in material terms, very beneficial. In addition, making flowers from balloons with your own hands is actually quite simple. By the way, the art of decorating with balloons is called aerodesign, and the technique for making such decorations is called modeling. Let's find out how to make flowers from balloons to make a bouquet of them or use them as decoration for a festive interior.
Bouquet of balloons
In order to make a whole bouquet ofmulti-colored balloons, it is enough to understand the principle of making such flowers and first try to make at least one flower. Let's get started? To make one flower, take four bright round or oval balloons of the same color, for example, lilac or red, and one round balloon of a different color (white, yellow, blue). In addition, we will need a long sausage-shaped balloon for modeling and, preferably, a special pump for inflating balloons. Of course, you can inflate round balloons with your mouth, but it is quite difficult to do this with a long balloon. So, first we inflate four colored balloons - these will be the petals of our flower. Now we tie them in pairs and twist (tie) both pairs together. The petals are ready. For the middle of the flower, we inflate the fifth round balloon. We inflate it so that the size of this balloon is two or three times smaller than the previous balloons, place it in the middle of the petals and secure it at the bottom. It remains to make the stem. To do this, inflate (not too tightly) a green sausage-balloon and secure it with one end at the bottom of a bunch of round balloons. In exactly the same way, make the rest of the flowers, using multi-colored round balloons and green modeling balloons. Gather the balloons into a bouquet and tie them with a ribbon in the middle of the bunch of stems. By the way, if such a bouquet, consisting of at least three flowers, is placed on the floor, slightly spreading the "stems" for support, it will take a strong vertical position and serve as an interior decoration.
Flower from balls for modeling
A more complex technique for making flowers fromballoons with your own hands, but also quite accessible to any craftswoman. For this we will need only two balloons for modeling and a pump. We will make a flower from one balloon, the other will be the stem, so choose a green balloon and a balloon of any other color. First, make a flower, for which we do not inflate one balloon too tightly, while leaving a tip-pip about three centimeters long. Now tie the lower end of the balloon with a strong knot and tie both ends of the sausage together. Then fold the sausage in half (lengthwise!) and twist it twice in the middle. Next, press both parts of the ring against each other, visually divide it into three parts and twist it twice again to get three pairs of "sausages". Now fold them like an accordion and proceed to the most virtuoso part of making a flower. Take the accordion with your left hand and squeeze it into a ring made of your index finger and thumb, clasping it in the places where the ball is twisted so that the “sausages” curl up into an arc at the top and bottom of the ring of fingers. Clasp the three upper “petals” with your right hand and twist them again. Unclench your fingers and see that the accordion has become a flower. For the stem, inflate (also not very tightly) a green balloon and tie its tip. Step back ten to twelve centimeters from this tip and twist the sausage. Now bend the short part in half and screw the tail of the balloon to the place of the first bend (the first knot). Then insert the stem into the flower, passing it through the middle and leaving the short part of the stem curled up outside above the flower. Step back forty centimeters from the base of the flower, bend the stem first upwards and then downwards again. Then in the middle of the resulting triple part of the stem we make another twist and get a stem with leaves. Now the whole flower is ready.
Camomile on the ceiling
This flower made of balloons is actuallynot a flower, but a ceiling garland. However, such a decoration, made with your own hands, looks exactly like a flower made of balloons. For it we will need four red latex balloons, four white and one gold. It is very easy to make such a chamomile.
- We inflate red balls with a diameter of twenty centimeters and bind them.
- We inflate white balls with a diameter of about twelve centimeters and also make a bunch of them.
- We inflate a golden ball with a diameter of eight centimeters.
- A golden ball is tied in the center of the red balls.
- We put a white bunch between the red balls and the golden ball, placing the red and white "petals" in a staggered order. We fix it.
Such a chamomile, placed on the ceiling or on the walls, will be a great decoration for a festive interior! Try it. You will definitely succeed! We recommend reading:
