How To Make Silk Taffeta Roses // No Special Tools, Just Fruit Salad!

Рет қаралды 86,920

3 жыл бұрын

It was too late to order silk flowers for this costume in time for my (okay yes, self imposed sure) deadline, so I decided to dive into a wild idea: what if I just made some myself? Thus with some scraps of the silk taffeta, some tools from the kitchen, and not enough sleep honestly, these silk roses were created into being!
The floristry wire and tape from Amazon: www.amazon.com/Paxcoo-Floral-...
Tweezers: www.amazon.com/Scientific-Lab...
The PVA glue I had on hand that worked fine: www.talasonline.com/Jade-403
I purchased the silk taffeta from Silk Baron: www.silkbaron.com/
Silently watch me make these two roses in real time: • Silk Flowers In Real Time

Back at school during a couple of home economics lessons we used a similar technique - heated household items to shape petals) Our teacher poured some sand in a pan and we heated spoons in it. Btw, for all the impatient people that say you talk slowly, well, they can just use this nifty feature increasing the speed of the video. Won't lie, I use it myself from time to time) One's impatience is no excuse to be rude to a creator who likely poured hours of effort into making a video 😑

I say "no" to buying fancy flower tools. Why waste your money when you (1) have things that work and (2) could get more things (i.e., ice cream scoop, large rounded serving spoon) at a thrift store, Dollar Tree, or grocery store? The money you save can go toward more silk! Plus, small pillows can easily be sewn from scraps and then stuffed with scraps, such as the bits from cutting out flower petals. The flowers you made and formed into a corsage are beautiful. I like your hat, speech pattern, and voice too!

Before I had an egg iron, I used a melon baller and ice cream scoop. And thin nose pliers (which I still use). That's actually what my millinery teacher told us to use if we didn't have tools. One tip - if you can heat the tool over something electrical - a hot plate, or have it touching an iron for a while - it's better. Using an open flame can cause blackening of the tools, which can then transfer to the fabric. Can be a problem if you're using a lighter coloured fabric, so it's worth remembering.

Can you also share links to the KZfaq video tutorials that you found most helpful? Finally: your voice is everything other viewers say it is - informative, calming, but I also really appreciate your precision of speech. Accurate, to the point, no mindless rambling and especially no mumbling! Perhaps you are editing out the complainers from your comment section, but I’m reading through all of the comments most of the time and your followers also seem to be a thoughtful and interesting bunch with valuable things to say. A quality channel all around.

Gorgeous! I must now stop myself from diving into flower making without a plan for actually being able to use them effectively! Your voice is great! You speak quick, but your diction is good, and you don't whine or talk through your nose. Perfect!

I think we used curling irons for making fabric flours when I went to a dressmaking school. I have a vague recollection that they were ok with larger petals. Real tools would deffinitely be a good investment if you enjoyed making these even with everyday household items. Love your voice and voice overs! Something about your witty humour that shows your intellegance. It is also good to have when writing stories!

Thank you Hanna! I like the additional options the irons may have for making different shapes hmm...

@@TheClosetHistorian I think the professional tools would open up to a while new world of flower making! The flower are also something that could potentially be sold on etsy and the tools would start paying their seleves back in small pennies. Good tools are always a joy to a maker!

Your use of the melon-baller is brilliant! I think the barrier to a lot of niche crafts is the specialized tools that are allegedly required to do them. While “proper” tools can be really helpful and may be needed for super complex projects, it’s amazing what can be done with just a few household items! Also, that SILK! That color is just stunning, I’m going to miss it now that this series is done.

The flowers look so lovely, and they look absolutely gorgeous on your dress! Thank you very much for making the video. I have been thinking about making my own flowers recently as well (for hair clips), but didn't look into the how-to yet. I really like how this video gives a clear view on the process, plus made with ordinary household tools instead of specialised ones so it feels more accessable for the regular person (like me). :D Also, I really enjoy your voice and speech pattern. It's very calming to listen to your videos. I don't know if you have a script for the voice-overs or just wing it, but you make it sound very natural as if you have a nice conversation with us viewers directly instead of giving a speech/lecture or rambling too much.

I find it so refreshing to listen to someone who's speech isn't peppered with "ums" and "ya knows," never mind the rising inflections on the end of every other word making everything sound like a question. As far as purchasing the flower making tools... do it.
