Making Nylon Flower Series:  Part 1 |  Part 2  |  Part 3

This is the last post to our Making Nylon Flowers series.  In this post, I'm going to show you how to make nylon plumerias.  I, personally, like the delicate, yet simple look of a plumeria, and the fragrance of one is out of this world fantastic.

Materials:

- Yellow /white variegated nylon (plumerias exist in a few other colors so this may be different)

- light green floral tape
