STOCKING FLOWER- MAKING

Stocking flowers, the most beautiful and creative one. Its a very interesting craft that you can try out. The main thing you will need for making stocking flower is lot of aluminium wire as everything you need to make is with the wire itself

Materials:






required materials
                             
1. Stocking Cloth (different colours)
2. Aluminium wire
  - Wires used for flower making (golden and silver)
3. Flower thread
4. Pips ( pollens - stamens )
5. Green tape


Method:
1. Firstly think of the petal of any flower that you would like to make, take a piece aluminium wire and make the shape of the petal with the wire.


    Make small rings of the golden wires and twist it in the ends to form a ring with a handle to it. 

2. Tie both the ends of wire tightly and now take stocking cloth and cover the wire completely.
    Now tie it up with a thread and cut out the remaining part of stockings. Repeat for all the petals and also leafs. Make different sizes of rings for big, small and medium petals. 

3. Make sure the stocking cloth is stretched completely so that it looks like shaded cloth and tie the end tightly. In this way make as many petals you want for flower.

4. Take some 4-5 pips ( pollens ) and tie it using a piece of aluminium wire, then arrange petals one by one to the wire.
    Fold the pollen into half and attach it to a thick metal wire with thread. Now place the petals one by one and use thread to attach it. Shape the petals as desired. Use green tape to cover the wire. Similarly attach leaves and more flowers to make a big stem. 


In this way you can come out with this beautiful creation.
Make in different colours and keep it in a vase.
