This is where we present to you the silk collar. In a first video, we showed a demonstrative collar to help you better understand the process. But not everyone has an hour to make complex shapes and bouquet. That is why we made a “how to” on how to make a commercial silk paper collar. Easier than it looks, you can make a beautiful one with few materials and in less time than you think.
MATERIALS FOR THE COLLAR
STEPS
- Build a circular structure with wire and a ring of cardboard. The bigger the ring is, the bigger your bouquet will be. This structure will serve as the base for the arrangement.
- Take 4 silk paper sheet and glue them together with a mixture of half-white glue and half water. Let dry completely
- Cut down in the shape you want. Remember to use your cardboard ring as a guide for the inner circle size.
- Glue the silk paper obtained at step 3 onto the structure. Make sure you cover up the cardboard for a better finish.
TIP 💡
Try different materials to make the collar unique. Autumn or magnolia leaves, wheat, wood sticks are some examples you could work with.
- You are now ready to make your bouquet!
