Using thin synthetic materials you can create luxurious jewelry. These things include hairpins and elastic bands for hair, the basis of which is a lush flower.

To make such an ornament you will need:
- scissors.
- a little thin fishing line.
- lighter.
- an elastic band for hair of pink or red color.
- glue gun.
- rectangles of bright pink dress fabric 5 x 6 cm in size, 24 in total.
- rectangles of bright pink material measuring 5 x 5.5 cm, a total of 11 pieces.
- square details from yellow dress fabric 5 x 5 cm in size.
- lighter.
- a circle of bright pink dress fabric with a diameter of 5 cm.
The creation of jewelry.
First, cut out the petals for the flower from all the rectangular parts. The result is 24 elongated parts, 11 short and 5 the same size of yellow petals.

Now you need to process with the help of a lighter the edges of all the prepared petals. A feature of this flower is the corrugated edges of the petals, so when they are fired in the places of rounding, you need to slightly stretch. Due to this, the upper part of these parts will become wavy, and under the influence of a hot flame their shape will remain for a long time.

In the same way, you need to process all the petals of bright pink and yellow fabric. Next, you need to make a central vein on each petal. To do this, the part should be folded in half with the front side inward.

Now, at the place of the bend, you need to carefully bring the fire of the lighter and carefully fuse it. The main thing is that the fabric is only slightly melted, but burnt holes do not appear. Burn the fold should be moving a little along its length, and places with molten tissue should be gently squeezed with your fingers so that the vein acquires its shape.

The result is beautiful petals with a central vein that holds the shape of the entire part. Such actions should be repeated with all prepared petals.

When all the details are ready, then you can proceed to the connection of the flower. To do this, take a circle with a diameter of 5 cm, which will be the basis of the flower and process its edges with a lighter.

Now you need to glue the first row of parts to the base, consisting of 5 long petals of bright pink fabric.

After this, you need to continue gluing the petals of 5 pieces in each row, placing the parts between the two petals of the previous row.

When all the long petals are glued, the decoration should be set aside and continue creating the top of the flower. To do this, you need to cut the fishing line into pieces of 6 cm length and glue them together in a bunch, they will be the stamens of the flower. Further to the stamens, a yellow petal must be glued. He must wrap himself around all the stamens. The rest of the yellow fabric should be attached around the stamens.
