How to Make Flowers with Foam Sheets or Foami

Today we’re diving into an exciting topic: how to make flowers with Foam Sheets or Foami. These flowers are not only beautiful but also incredibly versatile. You can use them to decorate your home, as embellishments for your scrapbooking projects, or even as part of a handmade gift.

What is Foam Sheets or Foami?

For those unfamiliar, Foam Sheets or Foami is a foamy material that’s highly flexible, easy to cut, and most importantly, cost-effective. It’s perfect for a wide range of craft projects, including artificial flowers.

Materiales Necesarios

Goma Eva or Foami 
Scissors
Ruler
Sharpie Markers
Hot glue
Buttons colorful

Step 1: Draw and Cut the Petals

First, let’s prepare the petals. Draw a circle on a piece of paper and cut it in half to get two semi-circles. Place these semi-circles on the Foam Sheets or Foami and trace the shape with a pencil. Once you’ve traced the shapes, cut them out using scissors.

Step 2: Add Details with Markers

This step will give your flowers a touch of realism. Use a marker to outline the edges of each petal. Then, smudge the marker with your finger to distribute the color more naturally. This effect will give your Foam Sheets or Foami flowers a more vibrant and textured appearance.

Step 3: Shape the Petals

Use hot glue to create a small fold in the center of each petal. This fold will give each petal a more natural, three-dimensional shape.

Step 4: Assemble the Flower

Once you’ve created enough petals (I recommend at least 10 for a full flower), use hot glue to attach them, creating a hollow center. Make sure the petals are evenly spaced so the flower has a symmetrical shape. I will show you how to glue the petals to form the flower.

Step 5: Add the Flower’s Center

For the flower’s center, we’re using colorful buttons. However, if you’re looking for other creative ideas, you could use beads, pompoms, or even a rolled-up piece of fabric to create a unique center. You can also use glitter to decorate your flowers in a different style, like this orange one I’m showing you.
