Hair accessories made from foamiran, decorated with crafts made from pieces of lace, ribbons, and beads, look very impressive against the backdrop of a stylish hairstyle. To make them, you need to familiarize yourself with the master class below.
You can make it from foamiran original flowers. Namely: roses, peonies, gladioli, lilies, etc. Flowers made from foamiran look very impressive, and this article will provide several master classes on decorating hair jewelry.
To make a rose elastic band, you will need to prepare the following materials and tools:
- Foamiran is bright orange and green;
- Lighter;
- Red pastel;
- Wet wipes;
- Scissors;
- Scrunchy;
- Foil;
- Glue gun.
The master class is simple. It looks like this. First you need to make templates for future petals. A circle with a diameter of 8 cm must be divided into 5 rounded petals. You need to make 5 such blanks. Using templates from orange material, you need to cut 5 pieces. The next step is to tint the edges of all the petals with a bed. You need to paint on both sides.
Then you need to cut the petals in the middle, heat them and grind them, making them thinner. Then return it to its original form. Using a lighter, heat and bend the edges of the petals. Roll a ball out of foil. And glue it from the first blank, twisting the petals one on top of the other. This should be done with all the blanks, placing the glue so that the result is an open rose.
The flower is ready, all that remains is to make a sepal from green foamiran, glue it to the bottom of the rose and secure it with a hair elastic.
Foamiran elastic band: DIY hair flowers
Foam is a soft synthetic modern material, which is widely used in handicrafts.
The main feature of the material is its plasticity; the fabric can stretch up to 10%.
The material also remembers its shape well and reacts remarkably even to the warmth of human hands, which makes handicrafts interesting and enjoyable. To practice creativity with materials, all you need to do is take scissors, an iron, pastel and a glue gun. A master class on making an elastic band with a flower from foamiran will be presented below.
In order to do beautiful flower, you will need to prepare the following materials and tools:
- Scissors;
- Blue foamiran;
- Stencils;
- Pen;
- Iron;
- Wire;
- Glue gun;
- Scrunchy;
- Ready stamens for flowers.
The master class on making a flower is not complicated. Using stencils, you need to draw the petals of the future flower. Next, using scissors, the blanks must be cut exactly along the contour. Then you will need an iron. With its help, the petals will be given a realistic shape.
When the shape of the petals is given, you need to take a glue gun, stamens and begin assembling the product. The petals are glued around the stamen in a circle, from smallest to largest. The final touch is gluing the hair tie.
Here the blue miracle flower is ready, you can decorate it with a small ladybug or a butterfly.
Foamiran flowers for a hair comb: we make it ourselves
The wedding comb can be decorated with foamiran flowers.
To create a decoration, you should prepare the following materials and tools:
- Awl;
- Foamiran white;
- Silver wire for beads;
- Iron;
- Beads of different sizes;
- Scissors;
- Glue gun;
- Metal comb;
- Foil.
When everything is prepared, you need to print the templates on paper, but you can draw them by hand. In the master class, the height of the largest petal is 5 cm, and the others are 1 cm smaller each.
Not dramatic if the petals don't have perfect shape. You need to cut 7 petals of each size. The next step is to heat each petal, fold it like an accordion and twist it. Then straighten it. In order for the petal to gain volume, its middle must be stretched thumbs. It's simple. The sharp end of the petal must be stretched reverse side. For the base of the flower, a crumpled drop of foil is used. This blank should fit freely into the core of the petal.
Then you need to make a hole with an awl. Since it will be necessary to secure the rose to the comb, then the fixation will be done using wire. You need to take a 20 cm piece and thread it through the hole you made. Next, connect both ends of the wire under the foil base.
The first petals must be attached tightly to the foil. The 3 middle ones will be slightly adjacent to the bud. Next the rose will open. The last 2 petals need to be attached only to the end. Now you can start decorating with beads and wire for the comb. The twig will decorate the overall composition. You need to select beads and crystals of different diameters and weave an original branch. Then form the branches according to the increasing size of the beads. The bead must be strung and twisted under its base. Branches can be of different sizes. Next, the branches are attached to the comb, and a delicate wedding rose is added.
Necessary foamiran hair accessories for work
Nothing is so beautiful women's hairstyle as interesting hair accessories. Hairpins with flowers made of foamiran will instantly decorate a feminine look.
To make original hairpins with flowers from Thomas, you need to take the following materials and tools:
- Foamiran;
- Hairpins;
- Figured hole puncher;
- Glue gun;
- Scissors;
- Decorative sparkles;
- Clear nail polish;
- Brush;
- Pastry stick;
- Beads.
The material must be rolled up and a strip cut off. Foamiran sheets are light and easy to store; working with them is not difficult. Foamiran can stretch, thereby giving the petal a similarity to natural forms. From the strip you need to make a lot of flowers using a figured hole punch “Flower”. Using an iron heated to 110°C, the flowers need to be given a realistic shape by bending the petals upward to create a closed center.
A pastry stick will help to give the shape; the blanks should be placed on its end. There are 5 blanks in the finished flower. Next, the most interesting part is the assembly of the product. You need to put a bead on the hairpin, this will be the middle of the flower. Then you need to put on the blanks one after another, forming an inflorescence. It must be glued with glue. When the flower is ready, the petals must be varnished and sprinkled with glitter in some places. The product is ready, it is not afraid of temperature changes or dirt.
We create hair decorations from foamiran (video)
Foamiran, as already mentioned, is a plastic suede, gentle to the touch, pliable in work. It is also called plastic suede. Intended for creating decorative elements, all kinds of flowers, dolls, interior items and other crafts, sometimes real masterpieces.

- two white hair ties
How to make daisies from foamiran
We make markings (not with a pencil, but with a toothpick) on white foamiran: 2 squares measuring 6 by 6 cm, 2 squares measuring 6.5 by 6.5 cm. Cut out two strips measuring 1 by 13 cm from yellow foamiran.
Before us are 4 squares of two sizes. We will form a circle of petals from them.
Cut out circles. Mark the middle of each circle with a toothpick.
Fold the circle in half and make a cut with scissors towards the center, but not reaching it by about half a centimeter. We make cuts on the other side. Fold the resulting sector in half and cut it again.
We fold each sector again and cut it, we get what we see in the photo. We divide all 4 circles equally.
Using nail scissors, we cut off the edges of the petals, first on one side, then on the other.
We make teeth on the tips of the petals.
For a yellow fluffy center, cut strips of foamiran into fringes, not reaching the edge 3–4 mm.
If you look closely at a living chamomile, you will notice that it is not completely white - yellow-green rays emanate from the center. To create them you need a pastel of bright yellow and green colors.
First, draw random rays in yellow. Then shade it green. Paint the center on both sides (about 2.5 cm in diameter).
From green foamiran we cut out 6 leaves measuring 5 by 3 cm and 2 sepals 3.5 cm in diameter. We make the leaves pointed, the sepals with random teeth.
Heat the iron and place the circle of petals against it for 2-3 seconds. Under the influence of temperature, foamiran begins to shrink in the direction from which the heat comes. As soon as the petals bend a little, use a toothpick to draw veins on them.
We also apply the leaves to a heated iron and draw veins. While the material has not cooled, twist the tips of the leaves and thin the material with your fingers.
We apply the sepal to the iron - it has accepted concave shape, slightly decreased in size, the teeth became thinner.
We twist the yellow strip and glue it along the base a small amount glue using a glue gun.
We apply the middle to the iron, then give it a shape, shading it green.
Glue the middle to the small circle of petals. Apply a drop of glue to the petal, fix it in the middle, but try not to go into the fluffy part.
Glue the petals in a circle, one at a time. Then we do the same with the remaining petals.
Take a circle with a large diameter and stick a chamomile on it.
We form the petals similarly to the previous circle - one after another. Glue the leaves.
We glue a sepal on top of the leaves, and put an elastic band on it with glue. Cut a thin strip to secure the elastic.
You can make small teeth on the fastening strip.
If the yellow center of the chamomile has covered the yellow-green parts of the petals, you can tint it again, but carefully.
Hair bands with daisies made from foamiran turned out to be a truly childish decoration - as touching, tender, and childishly naive as the child himself.
These are small, gentle creatures that bring beauty into our lives. And no matter what time of year it is on the calendar, fresh flowers always warm and inspire. And the beauty of artificial flowers, of course, is that they do not fade and can not only decorate the house, but also “bloom” on a dress and complement the hairstyle. Let's please our beloved girls with a new accessory, make flowers from foamiran with our own hands according to the “Cross” master class!
For work we will need the following materials:
- Foamiran light pink
- Foamiran pink
- Foamiran yellow
- Foamiran light green
- Petal patterns
- Scissors
- Glue gun
- Three beads
- 3 leaf beads
- Gold braid 3 mm wide
- Nylon tape light green 3 cm wide
- Green nylon tape 2 cm wide
- Lighter
- Colored pen
- Threads
We cut out flower petals from foamiran according to the templates:
We trace the templates on foamiran. For large petals we take bright pink foamiran, we outline the smaller ones on light foamiran. Yellow We use it for the center of the flower: cut a strip of 12×1.5 cm. From light green foamiran we cut out a square with a side of 3.5 cm.
Cut out the petals, making the edges slightly wavy. Cut out a sepal from the green one. We cut the yellow strip crosswise into small stamens, not reaching the end by about 3 mm.
We straighten the petals and sepals. We heat each petal along the edge (on the wide side) with a lighter and stretch it a little. We do not touch the narrow part - it will stick to the middle.
We tint the yellow stripe with a brownish colored pen on both sides.
We glue the braid (about 14 cm long) to our future center.
We begin to twist the middle, slightly pulling the foamiran at the base. We cut the stamens in half and glue them to the center at the base.
In this way we glue all 10 stamens. The middle, winding each circle, is lowered a little lower. The inside of the middle is higher than the edge.
As a result, we got:
Now let’s look carefully at how to make flowers from foamiran. We glue the first row of petals from light pink foamiran, starting one after the other. Very little glue is needed so that too much does not spoil the naturalness and airiness of the flower.
We decorate the second row of petals using a more saturated color.
At this stage, in principle, you can stop. The flower can already be worn as a brooch by attaching a metal base blank to it (sold in handicraft stores). If you want to make elastic bands or hairpins from foamiran, then watch the master class below.
We cut 14 cm from the braid 3 times. We string a bead and a petal onto each braid.
We tie a knot of braid (tightly near the bead).
We collect the light nylon tape (37 cm long) with a needle, having previously melted the edges of the tape.
We tighten it into a ring, secure it with a couple of stitches and a knot.
Take a second ribbon, a brighter color (2 - 2.5 cm wide). And with it we repeat the same as with the first tape. We fasten two circles of ribbons together.
We trim the edges of the braid (a margin of about 1 cm is given), melt it with a lighter and pin it to the base of the ribbons (you can first simply mark their position with one stitch. If you sew it on right away, you won’t be able to secure the flower in the center).
Take a hair elastic and secure it with braid. We take the rest of the braid back. We fix the elastic band with hot glue.
But we brought it for sale, and I really wanted to try making hairpins for my daughter Polina. At the same time, I’ll tell everyone about this exciting activity.
To make a flower with a diameter of about 8 cm, 1 sheet of A4 size foamiran is enough.
I suggest this simple template:
On a sheet of white foamiran, according to the template, we draw 8 details not writing pen or something sharp. Cut out the details.
For tinting you can use liquid acrylic paint or pastel. I found a pastel. I didn’t rub it, but simply rubbed it on a stick with a damp napkin and painted all the petals with this napkin a soft yellow color:
The next step is to paint the ends of the petals pink, and then stretch the color from the edge to the center:
I make the central petals a little darker:
In order to give the petals texture, I use an iron. I turn it on at low power, I have the wool mode, I warm up the petals, they rise a little and become soft:
While the petals have not cooled down, I squeeze them and twist them into a bud:
After cooling, I straighten the petals, stretch them a little along the edge so that the foam becomes thinner:
I start gluing from the largest and lightest petal, drip glue into the center (I have a crystal moment), collect the flower row by row. When everything is assembled, I stick a toothpick into the center and leave it to dry:
At this time we prepare the stamens. We fold them in a pile and twist them in the center with thin wire, fold them in half, and pull them into the hole in the center of the flower:
Now you need to attach the flower to the hair elastic. I wrap it tightly with a wire and bend the wire to the flower, cutting it short. I use a small piece of foam to decorate the mounting location:
All is ready. I’m experimenting with color) the purple flower is not made from white, all the others are from a white sheet:
Any princess will be happy with such a gift!

Advantages
An important point is that foamiran products are not afraid of moisture and do not deform, so they do not lose their original shape and properties. Any dirt can be easily removed from the surface with a damp cloth. Moreover, the material is not affected different temperatures, therefore does not lose its quality.
Flaws
- You should be careful when working with foamiran. Do not heat it too much, as this may reduce its size or make it brittle, and do not stretch it, as it may tear.
- Despite all the strength of the material, it is necessary to carefully apply desired shape, since excessive efforts can spoil or even break it.
- Tip for tinting - for a natural look appearance, it is best to mix several different tones of the same paint. The tint should be applied unevenly, maintaining a smooth transition from light tone to a darker shade.
- When creating flowers, you can use floral tape to make the stem.
