Glitter foamiran has already gained wide popularity among needlewomen, although it appeared relatively recently. Various crafts are made from it: flowers, New Year's toys, and other decorative items.

What is foamiran

Foamiran is a decorative, universal material similar to rubber suede. It has a foamy, flexible, elastic structure. It is used for various types of handicrafts. For example, floristry, scrapbooking, children's creativity.

This material is called by different names:

• fom;
• velours;
• EVA;
• revelour;
• foam rubber;
• plastic suede.

Foamiran is very soft to the touch, it resembles foam or a sponge that has been rolled out in a thin layer. It is easy to cut with scissors and a model knife. It becomes very pliable even from slight heating (contact with hands). Therefore, foam stretches well, but you should work with it carefully. It can tear from strong stretching. It is produced in thin sheets from 0.5 to 2 mm thick. They are soft, flexible, and have a fairly wide color palette.

They are painted with acrylic and oil paints, tinted with watercolors, pastel chalks and even eye shadows. Blush and powder are also used. Plastic rubber parts are fastened with a glue gun, Moment, and super glue.

However, you should not use water-based or long-hardening fixing agents. More products are made from thinner fabrics. It got its name from a combination of the English word "foam" and the country of Iran, where it was first manufactured. Foamiran of Iranian production is considered the highest quality material.

This product is environmentally friendly and safe. It is made of a special polymer - ethylene vinyl acetate or EVA. It does not emit toxic substances. And finished foamiran products can be washed with water. Now it is also made in China, Korea, and other countries.

Advantages of glitter foamiran

The brilliant foam has a number of advantages:

• crafts made from glitter foamiran turn out very elegant;
• This type of reverb is relatively inexpensive;
• the sheets are small in size, somewhere around 40X40, 50X50 cm;
• glitter does not fall off when working with such flexible suede, and only a small amount is lost during further use;
• sparkling velour fabrics are produced in a wide range of colors (up to 30 colors);
  
• This type of material is suitable for creating flowers, New Year decorations, and children's crafts.

Features of working with the material

When creating various products from shiny velour, it is necessary to take into account some of its features:

• The sheets have glitter only on one side. This should be taken into account when choosing a shape, flower or bow.
• Parts should only be heated where there is no glitter.
• Such material cannot be tinted or painted. Therefore, it is better to immediately buy canvases of the required shades.
• This type of foamiran with glitter has very thick sheets, it is less elastic. It is quite difficult to give it the necessary shape. Therefore, the flowers look a little rough. But such products turn out incredibly beautiful, festive.
