This paper have 2 different textures on either side. It is very handy to work
with - can be easily stretched, shrunk and even can be depressed to a cup like
shape by using your thumb.
Method:
First
draw the petals on the chart paper and cut them in different
sizes. With the help of these
petals cut out the original petals from the finix
paper. It is always better to use the
chart paper samples, to draw the outline on the finix paper and cut the
petals carefully. It
is stretchable and can give the desired shape of a fresh leaf or a petal. Now
paint the petals with the fabric paint. The Finix paper and the fabric paint
should be of the same colour. Finix
paper is available in different colours, we can have our own colour choice
depending upon the thing which we intent to do.
To make the flower, take a aluminium wire and tie 2 to 3
pips on the top end. The pips should be folded at the center
before being tied to the aluminium wire.
Take two or three small
petals and keep it around the pips and tie it with the flower making
thread. Arrange the larger petals around the small petals and tie it
carefully with out spoiling the shape of the flower. With the green tape
wrap the aluminium wire till the end neatly.
Take a big round bowl with water and let it boil. Now place a
small bowl with some wax in it and let it continue boiling (double boil).
When the wax melts properly, dip the flower in the wax and dry
it on a news paper. Next day arrange the flowers in a beautiful vase.
