DIY dolls from Foamiran: Master class

So, what will be needed For the manufacture of the doll?

First of all, of course, foamiran. It is easier to purchase Chinese and Iranian. The first is characterized by saturated bright colors. But the Iranian sheets are more muffled in color, but at the same time the master is preferred - smooth transitions of shades are provided

Important: as for the thickness of the sheets, the Chinese is thicker than Iranian, but the latter is tangibly more suppressed during work. But in any case, choose the sheets thicker, since thin sheets are more suitable for making flowers.

Scissors. You can not worry - they excellently cut foamiran, even folded in several layers. It is recommended, if possible, stock up with several types of scissors: in addition to ordinary ones, you may come in handy figured to create the effect of torn edges and openwork, as well as manicure for miniature details

Cut Balls in half. Then from each half it will need to be cut into a piece, but this time vertically

Important: cut off approximately 1/6 of the diameter of the half of the foam piece.

Now glue the halves So that they form a pair. In principle, this step is optional if you do not want the boots to fit each other
The resulting workpiece put on the stand - So it will be more convenient to bring it to the final design. It is advisable to make the edges of the foam hang from the stand - it will be more convenient to cover them with foamiran
