Important! Some craftswomen, using white or light beige nylon, create color compositions using conventional paints. This option makes it possible to create a product of any color from a material limited in color.
Remember that the capron must be in good condition - with a large number of puffs on it, it will be incredibly difficult to find pieces of material that can fit the entire surface of the wire frame. Such products may look untidy. It is best to use unnecessary tights with minimal damage.
Copper wire
To create petals, leaves and all the small elements of the composition, a thin copper wire is suitable. It lends itself well to molding, easily repeats the desired shape, especially if the petal has openwork uneven edges.
Important! To create stronger and more direct elements, such as stems, branches and trunks, it is necessary to use thick copper wire. It will keep its shape perfectly, make the whole structure stronger and more stable.
Thread and tape
In order to fix the capron to the wire, you will need ordinary threads of various colors. It is best that the threads match the color of the product. At the stage when it will be necessary to fix the elements to the branch, hide the transitions, you will need to use the tape.
Important! The teip tape is actively used in floristry, it is a special paper on an adhesive basis, which firmly glues all the necessary details of the composition that need to be joined together from the heat of the hands.
Using this tape, you can attach flowers and leaves to the stem, small branches to the main stem. At the same time, the fixation points will look as natural as possible. Most often they use teip tape of green shades, because they are as close as possible to the color of the stems in natural nature.
Forms for the rapid manufacture of the frame
For the fastest possible production of leaves and petals, you should find the most suitable form, on the basis of which you will form the necessary elements. As a form, all kinds of small jars, glasses, pieces of plastic pipes are perfect.
When you make lamps from kapron flowers with your own hands, you will not need to spend a lot of time on the manufacture of each petal. It will be enough to wire the shape that fits the size of the future petal as much as possible, and then form the shape of this petal with your hands. This is much easier than measuring the length of wire each time.
The same goes for making the leaves of the flower arrangement. Undoubtedly, among all the kitchen and household equipment, you can easily find the necessary shape for the template.
LED bulbs
The entire composition created is transformed when LED lamps are added to it. To do this, it is best to use a battery-powered LED garland. So you can easily transfer your nightlight from place to place. Unlike the use of separate LED lamps, you will not need to wield a soldering iron and understand the construction of circuits.
Important! Depending on the colors that make up the basis of the composition, choose the most suitable color for the garland. Most often they are white and black. At the moment, incredibly elegant and weightless garlands have appeared on the market, the diode bulbs of which are connected by silver or golden wire. Such garlands perfectly fit into such a composition.
Regarding the color of the lamps, it is best to use lamps that glow with the same lights when creating lamps from kapron with their own hands. Both cold and warm lamps are suitable. However, keep in mind that for nightlights most often use lamps with warm light.
Important! Multicolor garlands are suitable for compositions in which there are flowers and buds of different colors, exotic plants.
Basis of composition
All kinds of pots, baskets, flowerpots, vases and coasters are most often used as the basis for the craftswoman. If you want not only the flower arrangement to shine, but also the base itself, then it is best to use a transparent pot or a small glass vase. In it you place the garland unit so that you can easily remove it to change the batteries and just as easily turn it on and off.
The block can be easily hidden in an unused section of the garland simply by wrapping it. Thus, the basis of the composition will emit additional pleasant light. If desired, opaque substrates can be used.
Important! Do not forget to take care of the stability of the composition. To do this, use a heavy, stable foundation. If it is too light, then it should be heavier. To do this, you can use ordinary stones, decorative colored pebbles or any heavy objects that can easily be placed in a vase or pot.
Decorative elements
