Decorated Foamiran Gift Box)

Hi Friends and Crafters, I do hope you are all well. We all love making blooms from Foamiran from 14 Craft Bar, so I thought it would be a nice idea to share a box I made and decorated to deliver when giving as a gift or even if you sell your flowers. I made a rose and then made the box to fit, so dimensions will depend on your project.

You will need:
Oil Pastels Green and Pale Pink
Florist Wire
Green Florist Tape
Hot Glue Gun
Aluminum Foil
Box Made to Measure with Viewing Window
Pink Satin Ribbon Bows x 2
Small Mulberry Paper Flowers (Roses and Flowers)

Step 1: Cut the foamiran into squares.
For the Pink Rose: Pink 3.5 x 3.5 cm, White 4.5 x 4.5 and 6 x 6 cm
For the White Roses: 3.5 cm and 4.5 x 4.5 cm

Step 2: Round off 3 of the corners to form a petal shape. I have a video to show this along with Shaping and Colouring on a previous post.

Step 3: Colour all of the petals green at the base. The for the pink rose colour the mid sized one with pink around the edges and the larger petal with a  little pink and some green.

Step 4: Shape all of your petals, heating then twisting and gently stretching them to a petal shape, Finally roll the edges outwards.

Step 5: Form a small come shape with foil, make a hole using a pokey tool and secure the florist wire in place with Hot Glue.

Step 6: Build up your blooms tightly in the center, getting loser as you go.

Step 7: Keep the white rose fairly lose, they want to be small but full.

Step 8: To finish the main rose add a green calyx , a leaf and then wrap with florist tape.

Step 9: Decorate the top of your box with the pink ribbon bows, white foamiran roses as the centerpiece and then some small flowers to create a pleasing effect.


Thank you ever so much for joining me today, I do hope you like the finished piece and found the tutorial and videos helpful. For now Take care and Happy Crafting.
