Classic Astra
The algorithm of action is as follows:
It is necessary to form strips of different widths, these are billets for the future flower;
Apply a ruler and toothpick or wire;
Create 2 rectangles for inflorescences;
Flower center - strip 8 * 1.5 cm;
For petals form strips 8 * 2, 20 * 2.5 cm;
Recommend the width as a basis, since the size of the finished product depends on this parameter;
cutting up, do not use a straight line, it should be smooth, wavy, not too smooth, otherwise the flower will not work alive;
Each workpiece cuts on the fringe transverse cuts, the step of the nap is small - up to 1.5 centimeters;
we declare templates on the hot iron exhibited on the wool mode;
We remove the Foamiran when the fringe starts to spin;
Based on all the workpieces, it will be suitable for a wire, hairpin or toothpick;
Petals can be any length;
The billet-center is twisted around, the direction of the fringe at the same time - by the middle, as if the flower is semi-closed;
stick the workpiece into a small foil sphere, which is fixed on the wire or other base;
Then glue the second strip, the 8-centimeter, while the lower kaym of the stripes is located at one level;
Baccho bend inside;
In the third lane, the fringe is located in the outside direction;
For the bottom of the flower, I create a chashelistic, for this, the diameter of the finished inflorescence is measured;
The strip is also cut out, the form of a drop is attached, the blank is glued to look more believable, the kayma can be pouring.
Working with glue, consider that it should not be on the fringe, otherwise the workpiece will be in disrepair.
Apply some glue only on the bottom of the template.

Create strips of one color with dimensions 24 * 1.5, 24 * 2 cm;
Bands of another color - 3 pieces of 32 * 2.5, 32 * 3 and 32 * 3.5 cm;
We form a fringe so narrow as possible;
We produce firing on the iron;
Phasepno produce pasting, we guide the top of the three first inside, the rest outward;
Remove the glue from the thermopystole and process the dry end of the needle petals;
Create a bowl and base on the type of previous master class.
