Dear site visitors, from the master class presented by the author, you will learn and learn how to make flowers from metal
do it yourself.
To make this flower, the master used noble non-ferrous metals such as copper and brass, which over time are covered with a beautiful patina, which gives the product a more mysterious and aesthetic appearance. Also, glass rhinestones were added to the petals, which glisten and shimmer when light rays hit them.
Flower production today is very developed in blacksmith workshops, where beauty is forged from metal, but the guys from Steampunk do not lag behind and make no less unique flowers from copper and brass.
Billets are cut and they are given the necessary shape with a punzel, after being assembled into a single structure, the stem and leaves are added.
And so, let's take a closer look at how the author created his flower and what exactly did he need for this?

The process of creating a metal flower with your own hands.According to the author, there is nothing complicated in making a flower, and anyone who wants to have such a miracle at home can do it. Having made such a rose from copper and brass, then you can give it to your beloved wife, girl, mother, grandmother, imagine how happy they will be with such a gift.
First of all, the master prepared all the tools necessary for the work, by the way, the author’s punzel is an ordinary ball bearing from the Lada.
After that, a blank in the form of a leaf is cut out of brass sheet, in this way.
And with the help of a punzel a convex shape breaks through.
A hole is drilled at the ends of the petals for subsequent assembly.
Going to a bud.
Further, the master does the petals in a slightly different technology, cuts a plate out of brass.
Gives a wave-like shape.
He takes a bolt and makes a cut in its upper part.
The edge of the brass plate is inserted into the cut place and soldered.
Curled into a roll.
And it is pulled a little beyond the edge, thereby slightly stretching.
The edges of the petals are bent.
After that, the master proceeds to create a cavity in a wooden beam, namely, presses it with a punch and a hammer, striking as it should with a home-made tool.
I cut off 2e copper plates and preheated it with a burner, so the metal becomes softer and easier to process.
the copper billet is laid over the cavity in the beam and with the help of a punch and a hammer the following manipulations are performed, blow after blow is shaped.
The edges are cropped.
It is inserted into each other.
Here is a rose obtained by the master. Beautiful, is not it?
Then you should create a basis for the flower, here the author takes these components.
Saws and picks up the necessary tubes.
Such a telescope is about to)))
The obtained elements are brazed and their subsequent boring in a drill.
Inside, the author soldered a nut or you can cut a thread. Screws to a flower.
Next, twigs are created. the master makes them from a thin copper tube from an old refrigerator.
In the main stem, holes are drilled.
After the leaflets are prepared, also from brass, they are cut out in shape and the pattern and relief are punched.
After everything is put together.
But the author did not like this form of the sheet and had to redo it using a different LUT technology.
In order to create a seat for glass rhinestones, the master made such a tool out of bolts, namely, he slightly sharpened the end part under the cone.
Example of work: a blow is struck on this tool and a small dent remains on the tin.
And with the help of super-glue, the rhinestone is glued into the resulting seat.
That's actually all the finished work you saw on the head photo. As you can see, the process of assembling a flower is quite simple and does not require a complex tool and skill, and most importantly, the uniqueness of this product, which is very well appreciated today.
