How to make a calle lily - an easy stocking flower tutorial

What I like about stocking flowers is the easy techniques, affordable materials and lots of space for one's imagination  and self-expression. Making a calla lily stocking flower was so rewarding - I just let my thoughts flow while my hands were busy making something of an aesthetic value (at least I hope so! :) ) 

 YOU'll NEED

So for a single calla lily flower you'll need purple stocking fabric for the spathe (or white, pink, red - it's up to you), tissue paper and yellow fabric for the spadix, stem wire, threads and green sticky tape.

Step 1

Take a tissue paper stripe and fold it twice. Then wrap it around the stem wire and fix with the thread. 

 Step 2

Wrap 3 layers of yellow stocking fabric around the spadix.

Step 3

Make a spathe by using a wire and purple stocking material. Check out the basic stocking flower tutorial to see how petals are made.  

Step 4

Thread the spathe to the spadix and shape it. 

Step 5

Wrap the green tape around the stem. 

Your calla lily stocking flower is all done!

Thanks a lot for appreciating my blog and the flowers I make!

Blue theme (nylon flower composition)

Actually, the theme was purple, but my stubborn camera has turned it blue. fine, blue is in my favorite color after all (as you may have already guessed after looking though the nylon flowers on this blog :))

Red and orange nylon flowers

Red, orange, crimson, yellow, auburn and pink - these are the colors of many Indian flowers. IF you'd like to see my photo collection of these floral beauties, fell free to check out this post on another blog -

Flowers in India – red, orange, yellow, auburn, crimson, pink…

 That site of mine is dedicated to expat life and travel in India. But let's go back to our flowers. Although the Indian flowers are a great source of my inspiration, the floral composition I made yesterday was inspired by a different kind of orange, yellow and red - the colors of the Ukrainian autumn. The birdie and autumn fairy kindly helped me showcase the flowers. Enjoy :)

Blue and white stocking flower arrangement

I've made this bunch quite a while ago as a gift for one of my friends. To be honest, I even forgot about this composition, but recently I've been going through all the photos, and it was a nice surprise to find this photo. I think blue and white flowers along with pink stamens make a beautiful combination.
