Formed leaves for foamiran flowers


Cut a few rectangles of foamiran a bit wider or longer on two sides of a kitchen sponge.



This mould is from a pair that fits together but I find I get better results using only the one part.

Heat an iron on high setting. Wrap the foamiran around two sides of the sponge.
Press the foamiran against the iron with the sponge for about 4 seconds.


Quickly press the foamiran down into the mould, using the sponge to apply firm pressure. Make sure you press it down firmly. You may apply extra pressure with your fingers into the indentations.


Keep down for about 5 seconds and remove.


Cut your leaves out with a scissors or use a die to cut out.


Add some red colour randomly using soft pastel and a sponge.


 Lay the leaves upside down and adhere a piece of wire to the leaves with a hot glue gun or instant glue.



 Attach the leaves to the stem of your rose by using florist tape to wind around the wires.


Hoping you found this tutorial useful and that you will spend a few seconds to leave me a comment.
Have a great day.
