» »Flowers from kapron tights
Good afternoon. What do you do with old things? Throwing it away? But in vain, I tell you. From old things you can make beautiful crafts for home and, thus, give them a second life. Today I will show you what can be made from old, unnecessary kapron tights and threads. We will make beautiful flowers.
For the manufacture we need:
- The wire.
- Scissors.
- Kapron tights.
- Woolen threads and for sewing.
- Beads.
- The potty.
- Green and red paint for coloring Easter eggs.
- A pencil.

Now a little introduction. In specialized stores kapron tights of any colors are sold. But if you do not have multi-colored tights, then do not be discouraged. Take regular flesh-colored nylon pantyhose and paint for painting Easter eggs. Dissolve the paint, as written in the instructions, and put the tights in it for 10-20 minutes. Then remove them and dry them properly. All of them can be made crafts.

Let's start ?! Take a wire and something round in shape, for example, a jar of gouache (we need jars of different diameters). If you have special forms for making flowers, this is good, but you can easily replace them with anything else.
We round the wire around the jar and twist. We get a loop.

Remove the loop from the jar. For one flower, we need five large stitches and three small ones.

Now we take kapron and one eyelet. Gently tighten the loop with a capron, so that there are no folds, from the bottom edge of the capron we tighten the thread to the color of the capron, make a knot. Cut off all unnecessary. Unfortunately, I do not have a photo where I pull the capron. Here is what happened.

These blanks are petals. We take one blank and give it the shape of a petal. It is very simple. With the thumb and forefinger, slightly extend the petal, and then bend a little.

We draw small blanks more than large ones. So do with all the blanks. Now collect the flower. First we twist together three small petals.

And then in a checkerboard pattern we fasten large petals.

Immediately we make a lot of such flowers. You need to make leaves. We make similar loops, we fit them with a green capron. We also give shape to the fingers, the leaves are ready. Leaves are made in different sizes, like flowers.

Now we collect small twigs of flowers. We take one flower, fasten a leaf to it. Then we twist together several colors. Determine the number yourself.

Now we take woolen threads of green color and wrap them with a twig so that the wire is not visible.

We make in this way the desired number of branches. We will also make curls (I call them that). We take a piece of wire, the length depends on the length of the flowers. Wrap the wire with a woolen thread. Then we wind it with a spiral on a pencil. Remove from the pencil and stretch a little. Glue a bead to the end of the curl. You can stick it right away, but you can later.

A beautiful floral arrangement will always look great on the dining table. If you change the color of the nylon and the shape of the petals, you can make different flowers, the main thing in this matter is your imagination.
Goodbye, see you soon.
