Transcripts

1. Introduction of the Class: Hello, everyone. My name is Saba Maiman and today in this class, I have bought something very special for you. Yes. So we are going to make a flour out of stockings. Yeah, you heard me right. Because whenever you buy a flour from the vendor, at the end of the day, it fids and you are not going to use it, of course, on the other day. But if you make a handmade flour out of stockings, so, yes, it is going to stay with you forever. So, yes, I am going to teach you that. So in this class, you will be learning everything hands on. Yes, again, I repeat, it's an hands on class. So you are going to learn everything step by step. So I request you to follow my steps and do it together. And I'm very sure that you will be happy after the class. You will be happy to see your results. So what are we waiting for? Let's start our creativity and unleash your imaginations. So let's start 2. Materials used for making flower: Hello, everyone. So let us start. So first, we are going to talk about the tools for making the stalking flower. So as we know that we are going to make a simple stalking flour first. So for that, you are going to use the tape. This is called the green tape. These are the colorful pollens which we are going to use. I can show you Here we go. So these are the colorful pollens. Okay, so these are the wires, golden and silver colour. So this can be used for making the stem, as well as small branches. This are the slkings With the help of which we are going to make the flask. So these are colorful stoking, as you can see, I can show you Okay, so it's yellow color, blue, green, pink, and there are many. Here's a thread, with the help of which we are going to tie. And, of course, there's a green stick. This can also be used as a stem, or even this, I can show you how to make the step. Like we can just wrap the green tape around and this becomes the same as this. Okay. So I think we are done with the tools, so we should start now. 3. Learn how to make petals: Hello, and welcome. So, in this video, we are going to learn how to make a petal out of that wire. Yes, it's not so difficult. But yes, if you try, it will be perfect for you. You just have to make a petal shape out of that wire and you have to secure it down with twisting the wires. How it is done, let us see in the video. So let us start. Hello again. Now we are going to use wires. Whichever color you like, you can take it. I'm using the silver one. So let us open. It's easy, but still be careful. Okay. So first, we are going to start with petals. So for petals, we simply need to make the petal shape. For example, if I'm taking this much shape, as you can see, or even bigger if you want. Okay, so I'm taking the big petal. So I want the size of the petal to he like this. But if I want to tie it from the dam, I'll need some space, of course, as you can see, it's the size of petal. But if I want to tie, I don't have space. So for that, we are going to take more bigger so that we can make a cross and we can tie it. So I think this much we need it for sure. Let us take the scissor and cut. Okay. So with the help of the measurements, as you can see, we can make the petals. So first, if we are needing six petals, we'll cut the wire in six. So taking the same measurements of first, we'll make the six five. And the last one is six. Here we go. Okay. As you can see, we have made six petals. So let us shape this into the petals. You simply have to make the petal shape, as you can see, and just twist this in this way. If you feel this is pointed, you can cut or you can just try to pull it. I have cut it. Okay. Here we go. In this way, this is the one petal. In this way, we are going to make six petals. Let us start. Okay. So we have made six petals. Now we are going to use the stockings to give the beautiful color to the petals. 4. Learn how to use stockings: Hello again. So now, in this video, we are going to learn how to put the stokings on the petals and give it as a very clean and beautiful shape. Yes, so because for the flowers, we need the petals, of course, and to every petal, the color should be very pretty and neat. So how to put the stoking on the petal that is on the wire that is taught in this video. So let us start. Hello, everyone. So let us start making the stocking flowers now. So as we have already made this petal shape, we just have to put the stocking cloth to make it more attractive. So let us start. For that, you have to take the stockings, open it from the center. As you can see, now you can see the cloth. Here we go. Okay. So now you just need to put the petal inside and from all the side, you have to I pull it down to make it more beautiful, to look it more beautiful. Because if you don't pull and if you just keep the cloth as it is and you just tie the knot from here or something, then it won't look that good. It won't give that effect. So for that reason, we have to stretch so that it gives light shading from upper side and from down where it comes together, it gives a darker shade, which actually look like a natural flap petal, as you can see this. And later on we can give the shape. Right now, it's just important to pull the cloth, stalking cloth and just gather it at one place. Once you have gathered, take the thread, and you just have to roll it and tie. As you can see, just tie it five to ten rounds and then give a knot. And just tie it properly. Once done, cut the thread. And here we go. And then now we can use this cloth remaining stalking cloth for the other petals. So just have to take it at one place and cut. Here we go. So in this way, we are going to put the stocking to all the petals. Here we go for a third one. Again, the same procedure. Stretch it to the extent. Don't stretch it so much that it gets to. Okay. Rolling and making a knot. How This is third one. Now, next. Just stretch it properly. M Here we go. This is the fourth petal. Now, just last two remaining. This is the fifth one. Hmm. Oh. And the last one. So as you can see in just one stocking, we have made the six big petals and still we can get more too if we wanted to, of course. But here we don't need it. So as you can see, this is the sixth petal again, stretch, pull, tie it with the help of the thread. And then make up knot. Yeah. Once you get the practice, it becomes very easier for you and fast, it can be done. Yeah. Sagging. Remove the extra. Here we go. As you can see, we have made the six pets. So now it's you in the next class. 5. Arrange pollens, petals on stem: Hello again. So now, this is a little tough video, I think. But if you practice again, then you are going to be the top. What I'm going to teach you in this video is how to arrange polens and petals on the stem. Yes. So these three things will be done in one process. So how is done, how it is managed, how we are going to tie the thread around. Yes, that I'm going to teach you in this class. So yes, make sure till here you are done with your thing, like making the wires petal shape, and then adding the stockings on it and keeping it ready for the third process, which is, again, we are going to make the pollens, petals, and the stem. We are going to arrange it in one process. So let us start. Hello, everyone. So let us start making the flour. So for that, we are going to take this stem. As you can see that already on the silver line of wire, only the green tape is actually rolled. Similarly, if we take this silver wire, we can just wrap the tape and make it as a stem. So we have ready made over here, so we will use this. So I'm taking this long stick till here. Okay. And now I'll start arranging my petals. But before that, I have planted something, which is, of course, a polens. So for red, I'm going to use the yellow polens. You can see simply you first remove this bio. Okay, so we are going to take the yellow one. You just simply put this in the middle. Okay, we can tie this with the help of the green tape. Just simply roll the tape, stretch it That's it. Here we go. And now we have to arrange the petals. This is 123. Simply three also looks very cute. So for arranging the petals, there is also one step. For that, take the one petal and you have to tie the knot. You have to fix it with the help of the thread. Otherwise, it will come out and then it won't look good. Okay, only three or four rolls are enough. Once it is done, don't break this, because we have to again fix it with the help of this. This is the second petal. Again, you can just die. Okay. Now you can use a third petal. There's a third one. You have to again. Okay. No, just take the fourth. Here we go. Then take the fifth one. Again role and the last one. Not simply cut the thread. No need to tie the knot because on this, we are going to put the green tape. So any which way it's going to hide. Okay. No simply, you have to arrange the petu. Okay, so here we go. 6. Give the final touch with green tape: Again. So this is the final part of this. So now we are done with the flour. We are done with the pros. We are done with the pollens. Everything is done. So now we're making the finishing thing because, you know, when we arrange the petals polens on the stem, some messy part we can see down. That is thread, of course. So we have to cover that thread simply with the help of the green tape. So yes, in this final part, we are going to do this. Let us start. Hello, everyone. So now we are going to take the tape. And simply roll it so that you can cover all this thread and red colour stockings which are visible. You just have to make like this. Here we go. So I think it's done. Okay. So if you need, you can just arrange if you want, because the wires are very flexible but still hard. So be careful while doing it. Here we go. I hope you like it. Thank you. 7. It's your time to do now!: Again. So this is our project video. So in project, I would suggest you to make one flower. Totally of your choice. Yes, don't think that whatever I'm teaching in the class, you have to replicate the scene. No, try making more innovative. You can use your own colors. Like if I'm using five petals for one flower, you can use six or seven, some small, some big. Of course, in natural flower, when we see, we don't have equal or equal size of the petals, am I correct? So you can make it on your own way. You can make it as three small petals and we can cover it with the four big petals and you can use a pollen of your choice, whatever color you want, you can add your leaf. Imagination leaf, you can give some shapes, you can twist the wires. I will suggest you to do whatever you like. Just make one flower and don't forget to share it in the project gallery. So yes, don't forget to share your masterpiece with me. I'm waiting for you. 8. It's a wrap!: Hello, and congratulations for finishing the class. I'm sure that you learned something very new. And, yes. So today, we made a stocking flower and out of the stockings, stem, polens I hope you learned it, and you are happy with my class. So yes, even if you're a beginner, don't worry. You can practice, and you can become perfect in that. Because of course, practice makes man perfect. So don't forget to share your masterpiece with me in the project gallery. So thank you once again and stay creative. Bye bye.
