Elastic band for hair "Red Carnation"

To decorate the schoolgirl's hairstyle on a festive matinee with a charming and unique bow, it is enough to spend one evening on creating a luxurious gum “Red Carnation”.



To create it you will need:
- an elastic band for hair of pink color.
- scissors.
- leaflets for decorating a flower.
- a large bead in the form of a crystal of lilac color.
- glue gun.
- a circle with a diameter of 5 cm from a green satin ribbon.
- rectangles measuring 5x5.5 cm from a scarlet satin ribbon of 15 parts.
- Rectangles 5x6.5 cm in size from a scarlet satin ribbon of 20 parts.
- lighter.

Assembly of decoration.
All petals are created in one way. The rectangular part is laid on the table face down and short side up. Now on the upper side you need to bend both corners to the middle of the part.



Holding the part in this position, it must be folded in half along the entire length.



And when folded, you need to carefully burn the bent upper corners, while soldering, you need them together with the bend. This should be done carefully so as not to burn the fabric.



This is necessary to get a small crease on the front side of the part. She will give the petal a bend at the top.



Now you need to draw the bottom of the petal, for this the part should be folded in half to mark the middle of the bottom side. Now you need to bend the corner to the bend.



Holding the petal in the fold, fold the angle from the second side to the middle.



Now the folded bottom section must be carefully burned with a flame to solder the material.



Now the petal is ready, the same details should be added from the remaining rectangles. At the end of the assembly, there will be two types of petals, large and small.



Further, small petals should be attached to the crystal bead with glue.



All 15 small petals should be fixed one at a time, evenly distributing them in a circle.



After this, it is necessary to glue large sized petals in the same way. Thanks to the long petals, the flower will turn out to be full and lush. When all the petals are fixed, the bud should be supplemented with green leaves.



Now you need to glue the prepared green circle to the bottom of the flower, which will cover all the joints and seams.



In the center of the fixed circle it remains to attach an elastic band for hair.



To hide the connection between the gum and the base of the flower, you need to glue it with a curved part of green fabric.



This is where the work on creating the jewelry is over, it is ready!
