Autumn wreath with foamiran flowers

Today I've finished my foamiran autumn wreath.
This past week I had a week off from work and plenty of time to make the flowers and leaves on this wreath.

I bought the wreath itself at a garden center. The berries are not made by me (although I want to try to make these in the near future). All the other flowers are handmade using foamiran from 14 craft bar. The feathers are from ebay.

Here are some close up pictures of the flowers.

I colored all  my flowers with chalks not with soft pastels this time. I like working with chalks a bit better I guess. I've created a dahlia, a sunflower, hydrangea, a vintage rose and a few fantasy flowers. I have a previous tutorial on how to make hydrangea flowers here.

Look at those cute stamens in the orange flowers. These are also from 14 craft bar.

I did use dies for the orange flowers but for the other flowers I hand cut every petal. I made the leaves by printing free templates from internet and cutting the shapes out of foamiran.

That's it for today.

I really would appreciate it if you tell me what you think of this autumn wreath.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs Henriette,

Foamiran Dahlia

Today I'm sharing a foamiran dahlia. It resembles the chrysanthemum flower I made last April.

For this dahlia I used a template I found on internet. You can find the template here.
It's in Russian so I don't understand what it says but I've cut as many leaves as is in the middle of the templates. For example the biggest petals I've cut 5 times.

For the petals I've used white foamiran and for the green leaves I used green foamiran.
For the coloring pink and yellow chalks and baby wipes. For the green leaves I used green and brown chalks.

For the centre of the flower I used a ball of silver foil covered with the yellow colored foamiran.
I glued all the pieces together with my hot glue gun.

The cutting of the petals takes the most of the time to create this flower, maybe if you have that kind of dies you can use them.
Good luck if you are going to make the same flower, it will look beautiful.

Hugs, Henriette.
