How to Make Balloon Flowers

Hi Everyone :)

I will show you how to make these cute fabric balloon flowers. These are the easiest and very usable as hairpins, cloths pins, bag & cloths decorations, boxes decorations…

 

 

What do We Need to Start?

 

·        a piece of cloth

·        a needle

·        a sewing thread in the color of the cloth

·        a pair of scissors

  

 

Creating the Flower

 

1.      cut a circle from the cloth. Consider the diameter of the flower will be 50% less than
      the diameter of the circle you cut

2.     thread a double thread in the needle and tie the two edges together at the end

3.     fold the edge of the circle 5mm and stick the needle in. Pull the thread

4.     continue folding the edge of the circle and go back and forth along the edge of the
     circle, till you meet the point you started to sew.

5.     pull the thread to create the balloon. Make sure the edge of the cloth is inside

Now you have got it!! :) You created the flower within a very short time. Now it’s up to you to be creative and think where to put it – on your skirt, shirt, bag, create a hairpin… you can glue or saw a bead or a piece of cloth at its center.

Here are some of my flowers. I added metal and beads to their center to make them interesting:

Hi, I am Daphne.

I am a metal smith. I am creating jewelry for the last 13 years. I can proudly say this is the love of my life. I consider myself to be very lucky that I met this profession. It is definitely me.

The possibility to translate my ideas into such strong natural materials, like silver & gold, amazes me each time. The materials are so strong and eternal and I have the chance to express my small inspirations into them. It always feels like a celebration for me.

The process of creating my works includes various actions - whether I am thinking of a new project, sketching my ideas into paper,sitting in my studio, hammering, soldering, sawing, or reading and searching about a new project I am preparing. It all means creation to me. I am a "one man show", doing everything on my own for my business, and I adore every minute of it, because I know I am doing what I love.

All my works are done by me, and most of them are one-of-a-kind, or in limited addition. I believe in art, in creation and I believe that each one of us has a different way to express himself, same goes for individual taste in fashion and jewels. This is very important especially in our world of today, when there is a tendency of mass production of everything,  where each of us looses his individuality.

In this new blog of mine I will share with you my jewelry creation process, inspirations I meet along the way, and how to do some cool things. Being a creative person means I create things in my surroundings, and not only in metal. I will be very glad to share them with you with explanations how to make them.

This is me modeling one of my works:
