Volumetric flowers made from laminate backing. DIY roses from isolon. Master class with step-by-step photos. General Installation Considerations

Such bottle houses are, of course, not new. Many people make them, using all sorts of different materials: putty, various plastics, fabric, leather, etc. etc. After one job, I still have a lot of pieces left cork backing under the laminate - well, don’t throw it away!!!

Cork backing - sold in construction stores in rolls and sheets. In rolls - thinner and cheaper, easy to model, economical in consumption.

I found an already empty (alas!) bottle of "COINTREAU" - brown glass, interesting shape, it seemed to me that we could make a house like this... out of this world.

I cut “bricks” from the remnants of the cork sheet and glued them onto the glass, leaving space for windows and doors.

The frames and doors are made from frozen Eskimo shelves, the steps, and the “tiles” on the roof are made from cork; I cut many, many tiles and glued them together with an overlap. I glue everything with the “Moment-universal transparent” sticker.

Then I paint and decorate. I simply paint the walls of the house with white acrylic paint, tinting the “bricks” along the edges for completeness. The cork paints very well, it looks like stone.

I also glued the “door” (made from popsicle sticks), painted it to match the color of the old wood, drew “hinges” and a “door ring”.

I spent a long time painting the “roof”: first with red acrylic paint, then for a long time staining it with brown and black. It turned out to be an old tile. And it's like a pipe. The lid is screwed together.

Here is the “house” from all sides:

And then I got inspired and made another jar the same way:

You can pour it into a jar, or pour it into a bottle.

A trifle, but nice...

Have you ever seen products made from laminate backing? I think that for some of you the first question will be what a substrate is, and only then the question about do-it-yourself products and crafts.

Meet the material that is common for apartment renovation, but unusual for handicrafts – laminate underlayment!

No, don’t rush to leave the page, the interesting things are just beginning...

Creativity is a wonderful activity. The ordinary turns into the extraordinary, and waste material It can be so interestingly processed that it turns out to be a masterpiece. And how great they look when they are made with their own hands from materials that are not at all intended for these purposes!

The heroine of our article also belongs to them - SUBSTRATE.

WHERE CAN I BUY A SUPPORT?

You won't believe it, but many craftsmen and craftswomen often stop by the store BUILDING MATERIALS. And since their view of things is infinitely creative, they never leave there empty-handed.

The quality and variety of materials, paints, and tools are truly pleasing. All that remains is to think about what, where and how to apply it correctly.

Experienced salespeople in the store and at the building materials market will always answer any questions you may have. And sometimes there are quite a few of them - how to choose the right glue for the material, what paint to choose? You will definitely receive an answer.

CHARACTERISTICS AND PROPERTIES OF THE SUBSTRATE

First of all, the substrate is construction material, which means you should not doubt its quality. In addition, products made by hand from this material will not bear such loads as in construction.

pay attention to PROPERTIES substrates:

soft,
flexible,
various delicate shades - white, pink, green, blue, yellow,
translucent and opaque,
durable,
relatively durable,
large width and length,
different thicknesses and density,
very cheap (the point is quite important),
Sold by the meter, not the whole roll.

APPLICATION AREA

The backing is a material for adult and children's creativity.

Where and how to use this material depends on you, on your creative imagination.

For my part, I will try to delight you with some ideas, based on which you can come up with your own products.

And over time, you will delight everyone with a variety of small and large, flat and voluminous works!

ATTACHMENT AND CONNECTION

This is one of the important points in working with any material, since the whole work depends on it.

Everything needs to be checked experimentally, in practice, and definitely on rough material. The substrate is a material with very smooth surface, so it’s difficult to find glue. One completely corrodes the surface of the substrate, the other does not connect it with any other material or with each other. There is no question of a thermal gun at all.

But a thread with a simple needle helps solve the problem of connecting and fastening parts in products. Sewing is very easy. The backing is easily pierced with a needle, the thread does not break through it in the places where the seam is laid.

Many crafts do not require connection or fastening at all. In this case NOT No glue or needle needed.

WHAT TO DRAW

When working with a substrate, sometimes it becomes necessary to transfer patterns or designs using stencils () onto its surface. This can be done with a regular ballpoint pen, the lines from which can then be easily erased.

CUTTING

To cut out patterns and details from the backing, you will need a utility knife and scissors of different sizes.

For external lines you can use scissors and a knife, for internal lines - a knife.

But the most important thing is to choose the tool you need for the job. comfortable work.

The backing is very easy to cut. But the tool must be sharp in order to cut, and not tear, the material. Working with a stationery knife, break off the end of the blade and continue working with a sharp blade further.

Be sure to place a wooden board under the work so as not to spoil the surface of the table, and do not throw away small pieces after cutting - they will be useful for making small products.

HOW TO ERASE LINES

After cutting out parts or patterns from the substrate, traces of a ballpoint pen may remain here and there, which can be easily erased from the surface.

You will need cologne, cotton pads and gloves. The contaminated surface is wiped with discs soaked in cologne.

Work with gloves and in a ventilated area.

WHAT PRODUCTS COME FROM THE SUBSTRATE

They keep their shape well
they are easy to care for,
they are convenient to store even in large quantities,
are not afraid of moisture,
very light and airy,
simply tender and beautiful.

All that remains is to say: “Many thanks to the BUILDERS for such material!”

Are you wondering whether it’s worth interrupting your acquaintance with this wonderful material, from which you can make many interesting products?

Master class from the series “Crafts from non-traditional materials" Subject: painting “White Lady”

Rose
This flower is the most beautiful!
It can be both white and red,
May be yellow or pink,
It's like perfume is fragrant at the same time.
Only now the branch is pricking with thorns.
What kind of flower? Guess for yourself!

Author: Morgalyuk Olga Stanislavovna, teacher additional education, MKOU DOD "TsDP", Kushva.
Purpose: the master class is designed for children aged 10–12 years, as well as teachers of additional education, and is one of a series of master classes on working with non-traditional materials.
Purpose: gift making, interior decoration.
Target: Make a picture in a frame with roses from isolon.
Tasks:
- create conditions for mastery theoretical knowledge and practical skills in working with isolon;
- develop creative thinking;
- cultivate perseverance, patience, accuracy.
Visual aids: finished works from isolon.

The technique that I suggest you master was invented experimentally in classes with children. Children are little explorers; they check everything by touch. While studying the properties of isolon in class, we discovered that the material stretches, forming an interesting edge.

PROPERTIES OF ISOLON
Izolon is a technical fabric that serves for insulation and insulation. It comes in different thicknesses: from 0.2 cm to 1 cm, material width from 1m to 2m. Sold in construction stores, the price is relatively low. The color scheme is not very diverse, the main colors are: white, green, yellow, red. Now Isolon has appeared with one side coated with foil, which gives certain effects. This material does not burn, but only melts; strong enough when stretched; cuts well with scissors and a cutter, which allows you to cut out a thin design on it; when you stretch it too much with your hands, it breaks, and if you don’t stretch it too much, you end up with a wavy edge. It sticks poorly, only with a heat gun. You can also staple or stitch together. Can be painted acrylic paints. Stores well in a roll; if stored folded, it forms a scar. During storage long time may turn yellow in the sun.

Materials and tools.
To work with isolon you will need the following materials and tools:
cardboard for templates, ball pen, scissors, heat gun, frame, packaging mesh for the background of the picture, hairspray, cosmetic glitter, spray paint.

Step by step process work.
1. Cut out stencils for flower petals and leaves from cardboard. The petal consists of an upper part and a leg: template No. 1 – 1 pc., No. 2 – 5 pcs., No. 3 – 5 pcs. (patterns 4 and 5 for larger flower)

2. Transfer the stencils of the petals to the isolon and trace with a pen (the pencil does not draw on the isolon, the marker smudges).

3. Cut out the outlined parts (the parts need to be cut along the inside, otherwise the line from the handle will be visible, which makes the work sloppy)

4. Stretch the edges of the upper part of the petal; I called this technique “stretching”. Do not pull too hard so as not to tear the workpiece. But if your edge is a little torn, don’t worry. This will give additional volume to the petal.

5. We start assembling from the middle of the flower, to do this, smear the lower edge of the first petal with glue and twist it.

6. Glue 5 small petals (template No. 2) in a circle, spreading glue on the stem. Attach the petals according to the diagram.

7. Glue 5 petals (template No. 3) in a circle, spreading glue on the stem. Attach the petals according to the diagram.
Flower in finished form looks like this.

8. For the composition we will need 3 rose flowers. Make two more in the same way as the first flower: using templates No. 1; 2; 3; 4 in the second flower and templates No. 1; 2; 3; 4; 5 in the third flower.

9. Transfer the leaf stencils to isolon and trace with a pen.

10. Cut out the outlined parts (don’t forget to cut along the inside!). Stretch the edges of the leaves (carefully!) You get these leaf blanks.

11. The scraps you have left over from cutting can be used. For example: if you stretch one edge of a strip, you will get an interesting decorative element, and if you cut a circle in a spiral, you will get a curl. These details can be used when designing your work.

12. For the composition you need three rose flowers, three leaves and decorative elements.

13. Spray the finished flowers with hairspray and, while it is still wet, sprinkle with glitter and fix with hairspray again.

14. Paint the finished frame spray paint. Glue the mesh onto the frame with inside using a heat gun. You can use wallpaper for the background.

15. Glue the fragments of the picture onto the mesh using a heat gun. First attach the leaves, then the flowers and decor. When composing a composition, it is important to remember the basic laws of composition: the law of integrity - the indivisibility of composition and the law of contrasts. To compose this panel, I suggest using asymmetry, which will help give the work dynamism and lightness.
