Craft materials
Flower buds made of foamiran
We begin assembling the buds. For each bud, take a piece of thick wire 7-10 cm long, bend one end down.
Heat up the glue gun. We take one petal and apply it with its lower edge to the bent end of the wire. We drip glue there. Wrap the petal around the wire. This will be the middle of the bud.
Wrap the petal around the wire
Glue each petal to the bud one by one. We make a slight overlap on the previous petal. Apply glue only to the bottom edge of the petal.
Glue the petals overlapping
Let me remind you that it will take 15 petals for a large bud, and 7 petals for a small one.
This is what the finished large bud will look like.

And here is another option for creating a New Year's Snowflake crown from tulle. Necessary tools and materials: Wide elastic band 50-60 cm; 1.5 m of tulle for the crown, which will have a width of 3 cm.

- The strips are folded like an accordion and tied with an elastic band.
- Then the strips must be pressed tightly against each other and tied with a double knot.
- For the hoop, cut strips 10 cm long and 3 cm wide. You should get from 50 to 60 pieces.
- Each strip is tied to a hoop, positioned close to each other.
- The stripes are tied with a double knot.
If you wish, you can make a form to trim off all excess.
White flower decorations
We make additional decoration. To do this, we take thin wire, beads and pieces of white foamiran. We cut out the shape of flowers from pieces of foamiran.
Wire, bead and white foamiran
We string a bead onto the wire to the middle. Bend the wire in half and twist it tightly.
Twisting the wire with the bead
We put a flower made of foamiran on a wire under a bead. Glue it to the bead using a glue gun.

Master class from Alesya Gor.
To make Christmas tree house toys, you will need:
- small ready-made balls with a loop. You can take ones already covered with glitter or paint them yourself in the required colors.
- foamiran tone-on-tone or contrasting;
- a thick needle or awl to make holes;
- scissors or cutter;
- glue (Moment or hot glue gun);
- beads, beads, ribbons, other decorations.
Step-by-step instruction
- 1. From glitter foamiran you need to cut a rectangle measuring 10x4.5 cm. Fold it in half, cut a “wave” along the edge with sharp scissors. This will be the “roof” of the house.
- 2. A hole is made in the center with a needle, and a string from the ball is pulled through it. If there is no fastening, you can insert any suitable ribbon or thread.
- 3. With a few drops of glue, the foamiran roof is fixed to the ball.
- 4. A tight roll is rolled from a rectangle measuring 10x2 cm.
- 5. The edge is cut at an angle. The “pipe” is glued to the roof of the house.
- 6. A “door” is cut out of a 2x3 cm rectangle. For an example, look at the photo.
- 7. Next you will need a thin strip of foamiran, size 14.5x1 cm. One long edge is cut out figuratively.
- 8. The door is glued to the center of the front part of the craft, the strip is glued to the bottom.
- 9. Then, if desired, you can add additional shiny elements. Glue beads, rhinestones, and tinsel around the door and below.
- 10. On the front of the house you can place a star, snowflake, or other decor.
- 11. Done! We hang the toy on the Christmas tree!
By the way, at the link you will find a large number of New Year's houses made of cardboard for every taste!

Satin ribbon headband
You can do the work using the kanzashi technique. This option is suitable for more experienced needlewomen.
We will need:
- pieces of satin ribbons;
- beads;
- beads;
- a piece of felt;
- hoop for the base.
Procedure:
- We make snowflakes using the kanzashi technique from fabric “petals”. We assemble sharp two-, three- and five-layer parts from satin ribbons of different colors and sizes.
- Sew it together. The center can be a round piece of felt embroidered with shiny beads and beads.
- The resulting snowflakes must be attached to the base.
For very little princesses, one snowflake glued to the side is enough. For older girls, their number may be larger, and the arrangement may be in the form of a tiara.
New Year card
Another simple and interesting craft. It can be used as an original gift! Glue, foamiran and thick paper are all you need for this. And a little more free time and imagination for decorating!
The algorithm of actions is simple:
- You need to cut out a Christmas tree, which will consist of four parts. The first is the base with fringe (slots on the foamiran). It should be the biggest. All the higher elements are narrower.
- To achieve a voluminous effect, you can use an iron or twist the strips with your hands.
- We glue the blanks one by one (from bottom to top) onto the postcard. You can make a yellow foamiran star as a decoration.
Offer to make such a craft for your own child - he will succeed, he will be absolutely delighted!
Christmas wreath
To make such a wreath, prepare in advance foamiran (preferably green), a simple glue stick or PVA, scissors and shiny decorative stones of various shapes. They can be found at any hardware store or at Fix Price. You will also need a ribbon for decoration.
What to do:
- First you need to cut out a circle. The outer edges can be made uneven and rounded in places. Follow the principle of symmetry to make it look beautiful!
- Pebbles need to be glued onto the workpiece. Multi-colored ones are perfect. We have already mentioned where to find them. They are inexpensive.
- All that remains is to make a bow and a loop from a ribbon or piece of fabric. A beautiful New Year's craft is ready!
If you don’t want to be limited by the instructions, show your imagination and decorate the circle the way you want.
After looking at the photos and diagrams of DIY foamiran crafts, even novice handicrafts will be able to cope with the work:
There are many options, but don’t limit yourself to template solutions – get creative!
What is foamiran
Foam is a very pliable and easy-to-process product that instantly takes the required shape. It can be easily processed with scissors and pierced with a hole punch.
This is the latest synthetic material of Iranian origin, which recently entered Russia.
Foam is a material that is incredibly popular due to its wide color palette, which allows you to create unique and very life-like compositions and toys. Otherwise it is also called “flexible suede”.
Its advantage is that it quickly and easily takes any shape. Light heating achieved with an iron allows you to add the required volume to the workpiece.
Foamiran is an environmentally safe product that can be easily purchased in any stores specializing in handicrafts. An alternative is that you can always place an order for this product in any online store at the most attractive price.
Various toys for the Christmas tree
These bumps will be much more elegant and voluminous if they are made from foamiran
You can also make a variety of balls with appliques - click on the pictures to enlarge:
More templates you may need. I would like to remind you that our Santa Claus does not have a clown’s hat, but a boyar’s hat without a balabon and his beard is much longer.
Christmas trees will also look harmonious from foamiran. In principle, everything that is made from felt can be made from foamiran, even better, because foamiran has two advantages - it holds the shape that is given to it when heated or twisted, and prints can be made on it. This means that the Christmas trees can be fluffier and the toys more natural; remember how in the article about crafts for school, there was a cookie - a heart made of foamiran. It's very easy to make and looks edible.
