Roses made from cotton pads

Good day to all. Since you are reading my article now, it means that you love making various beautiful things with your own hands and you came here for inspiration and new ideas. Well, what should we start creating? Today we will make roses from cotton pads.
For this we need:
- Cotton pads.
- Aluminum wire.
- Glue.
- Scissors.
- Green gouache.
- Brush.
- Hairspray.
Take a wire of the required length and cotton pads. The length of the wire depends on how tall you need the stem of the future flower. The cotton pads will need to be slightly torn, as shown in the photo. And wrap them around the wire. For reliability, we fix the ends of the cotton wool with glue. The stem is ready. If the stem turns out to be uneven in thickness, then there is nothing to worry about, because real flowers have uneven stems.

Let's put our stems aside for now. We take more cotton pads and cut out leaves from them. In fact, you can cut out the shape of the leaf at your discretion; I decided to cut out the simplest shape.

Now we paint the stems and leaves on both sides with green gouache. It is better to paint on newspaper so as not to stain the table.

Leave to dry. While we have free time.You can make rosebuds. The flower can be collected on the stem, or separately, as you wish. We take cotton pads and glue again. We roll the first disk into a tube and fix it with glue.

We take the second disk and glue it on top of the tube, without gluing the edges of the disk on top, we will then correct (straighten) them as necessary. So we glue other disks until the rose reaches the desired size.

The bud is ready, you can glue it to the stem (if it is dry, of course).

Then we glue the leaves. You can glue the leaves all over the trunk, but I wanted to glue them only at the bottom of the bud.

When the glue has dried well and all the parts of the flower adhere well, the flower is ready. From these roses you can create a beautiful flower arrangement that will decorate a room in your home.

As you can see, you can make flowers not only white. Using gouache you can make flowers of any color. Yes, I almost forgot, I advise you to apply hairspray to the painted areas on the flower, this way they will not be dyed and the varnish will give them a little shine. Goodbye, see you again.
