MY NEW CREATION - ORCHID (Nylon Craft)

This is one of my new works. When I was making the flowers using the nylon material I thought why should try one orchid with this………

Next day I start my work and within half day one bunch of orchid flower is ready……..

Making of this orchid is very simple as the other one. For this we need:  nylon cloth (here I am using white and dark pink color), wire (golden / silver), glue, stamens, green flower tape, thread, tissue paper, scissor.

How to make:-

 ·  Take the wire and cut it into pieces of       3”length. (For one flower we need 6 petals ,one petal will be little larger than the others)

 ·  Loop the wire around any round things like small bottles. ( Here I have used the same gum bottle’s cap)

 ·  Remember that one petal is differing from others. For that we have to take one refill of the pen and wind the wire over it. Now we will get a spring. Then pull the both ends and we will get a zigzag wire. Loop the wire as mention above.

 ·  Divide the petals (3+2+1) or (5+1). 3 Petals will be wrapped with dark pink nylon, 2 petals and the zigzag one with white nylon. Or 5 petals with pink and zigzag with white nylon.

 ·  Shape the petals by pulling and pushing.

 ·  Next is the arrangement of petals. First we have to take the zigzag one, that is the innermost petal, and attach a stamen on it with the help of the thread. Then take the 2 white petals and attach it around the first one. Next is the outer layer of 3 pink petals, attach them around the white petals with thread.

 ·  Now your flower is ready, make 5 or more flowers like this.

 ·  We need buds for our orchid, so for that take some tissue paper strips and wrap around a piece of wire and cover it with nylon cloth. Now the buds are also ready.

 ·  Arrange the flowers and buds on a thick wire and wrap the flower tape around it.

 ·  Look the orchid is ready………
