To spice up our handmade burlap bouquet a little, we’ll add a few branches of artificial flowers with small delicate flowers.

Shall we begin?

Do-it-yourself bouquet of burlap flowers and DIY burlap flowers master class:

1. The first burlap flower is called a French pouf. We will need to make 5 of these flowers. So let's get started.
We draw an arbitrary outline of a flower in a shape reminiscent of a star or a daisy - we use contour paints. Cut along the outline. We pass a thin wire through the base of the flower through two holes, see photo below. We string about 7 daisies onto the wire. We round the wire at the base of the flower, pulling it into a pouf. We twist the two ends of the wire into a stem.

2. Brown burlap flower. We cut thin strips from burlap like braid, and use wire to string it onto a button, as you will see below in the master class. The photos are step-by-step and quite detailed - you will succeed! We will need 6 brown burlap flowers. Buttons can be different - it’s even more fun! We pass the wire through the holes of the button, as in the photo. We fix it. Then we begin to string burlap braid onto it, forming loops.

3. Now we make roses from burlap. We will make 7 roses with our own hands. Get your scissors ready and plug in your hot glue gun. Let's get started. Cut a strip of burlap 8-10cm wide. Apply glue along the vertical edge to form a dense strip in two layers, around which we will form a rosebud, thread a wire through it. Next, twisting the strip a little around its axis, fold the rose shape, press it to the core, and fix each turn of the fabric with glue.

We made this bouquet of burlap flowers with our own hands. We decorate our bouquet with artificial flowers, just to liven it up - three to five branches with small flowers are enough. And voila! A wonderful decoration for the interior of the kitchen or living room! A wonderful gift for mom or beloved friend!

Anyone can create flowers from burlap. This is a pleasant and useful hobby, because there are many variations of the flowers themselves. They are used to make bouquets, holiday wreaths, and decorations. Adding to the attractiveness is the fact that it’s easy to do such a thing yourself, just master the basics of the technique.

What you will need for the craft

Such burlap crafts are an inexpensive pleasure. Among the main auxiliary items are the following:

  • the burlap itself;
  • threads (same color as textiles);
  • pin (to secure moving elements);
  • wire (creates a frame);
  • glue (creating volume);
  • decorative details (beads, rhinestones, ribbons).

DIY burlap flowers are made based on photographs found on the Internet. It’s easier to start from a finished design. Therefore, you should initially familiarize yourself with the design options, and then start directly creating your own masterpiece.

Universal technology

The easiest way would be to use the method of gluing burlap onto a finished frame of wire petals. The algorithm of actions is as follows:

1. First you need to coat the burlap with glue. Next, the fabric should dry. This way the textile becomes hard and will easily take the desired shape.

2. Wire frames are prepared - in the form of future petals. They must be of different shapes. This makes the flower look more natural.

3. Metal petals are placed on glued pieces of fabric and once again treated with an adhesive. For better bonding, cover the workpieces with film and place a heavy object on top. In this form, the craft is left for one day to dry.

4. Using scissors, cut the petals along the contour and trim off the excess threads. All edges must be smooth. Afterwards, the petals are combined into one flower and twisted with wire. Flower elements can be bent and given the desired volume.

Lace, beads and rhinestones are chosen as decoration. You can add color using nail polish - either plain or with glitter.


The finished result

Create a vintage rose

A master class on creating an elegant flower involves using:

  • burlap;
  • lace ribbons;
  • beads - better than solid colors;
  • soft felt.

Auxiliary tools are pins, needles and scissors.

First, cut the burlap in the shape of a rectangle. This piece of fabric is folded in half and rolled into a tube. To prevent the fabric from returning to its previous position, it is secured with a pin.

We form the petals by folding the fabric in the opposite direction. This way you get a bud based on textile creases. Continue rolling the flower until the desired size is formed.


Making a rose from burlap

The next step is to secure the bud with a pin and create a lining. It is made from another piece of material. Moreover, it should be larger than the flower. By collecting the fabric using small stitches, you should get a circle. It is allowed to slightly loosen the outer edges. A thicker lining is felt. A circle is cut out of it and cuts are made along the edges.


Making the base for the flower

After preparing all the elements, they begin to connect them:

1. A lace ribbon is attached to the base.

2. A bud is placed in the center.

3. The entire structure is attached to a felt lining.

4. It is worth making small stitches in the center of the bud - this way they can be easily hidden with the help of trim.


We connect all the details

Beads, brooches and rhinestones are used as decoration. They are placed randomly over the entire surface of the flower. They are attached both with glue and using threads. Having created several flowers, you can try to combine them in a panel painting. The different textures and roughness of burlap flowers look unusual and stylish. You can decorate your dressing table with a vase trimmed with lace and burlap flowers.

This type of hobby is constantly being improved. High-quality designed items are sold at handmade exhibitions and simply delight the eyes of guests at home.

To make an element decorated with burlap flowers look beautiful and last a long time, you should know a few useful tips:

  • The last step in the manufacture of such a decorative element should be coating with spray paint. It will fix the shape and color of the decoration.
  • To make the item neat, you should make all cuts on the fabric at an angle. This way the textile will fray a little, which adds charm to the flower.
  • The ease of fastening depends on the tools. If novice craftsmen make do with ordinary glue, then to create advanced products it is worth purchasing a glue gun or a high-quality stapler. This will speed up the work and securely fasten all the elements.
  • For decoration, choose elements in the style of the item. Burlap is a coarse fabric. Therefore, this quality can be maintained with wooden beads, buttons, and compositions using linen fabrics. But there is an option to add grace and effortless beauty - using imitation pearl buttons, delicate lace and wildflowers. This is the most profitable technique for creating a retro interior.

Where to place such flowers

Various types of flowers are created from burlap - from wildflowers to greenhouse flowers. Their appearance is entirely up to the designer. In accordance with this, they choose the location of this type of decor:

  • Kitchen. Sunflowers, the cores of which are decorated with coffee beans, are suitable here. The very shade of burlap makes the leaves look withered. Therefore, it is worth creating a background for a painting from plain materials. There should be several colors - then the composition looks bright. Jars for cereals, sugar, and salt are also decorated with flowers in the kitchen. Curtains made of similar materials will help maintain the style.

  • Living room. Panels, paintings and books covered with flowers will complement the interior. At the same time, there are no limits to creativity, since flowers can be painted and fit into the desired color scheme.

  • Bedroom. A vase covered with burlap flowers will decorate a table near the bed. It is recommended to hang a garland of similar flowers of different shapes and colors on a bare and empty wall. If the wall is occupied by photo cards, you should make a living frame of flowers.

This kind of detail is very unique. Therefore, it is better to attach it with tape and look at the overall picture. If the item does not fit, it will be easy to remove it.

Handicrafts in the form of flowers from the unusual material of burlap are a popular pastime. Creating unique decorative elements is simple and inexpensive. You can do things with your own hands and involve children in this activity.

It is important not to forget that burlap is a rough material that is difficult to beat. Therefore, you can experiment and try new types of fabrics and beads that will help adapt the burlap to the style of the room.
