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!
