Making Nylon Flowers, Part 1: Tools
This is the first part of a series of 3 posts talking about nylon flowers.
In this post we are going to discuss tools of the trade. What they are, what they're used for, and where to get them. I will be plugging my favorite nylon flower store, New Sheer Creations, a lot on this post and hope you check it out. They have everything you need to start out, and really good prices.
Nylons
These are just your typical stocking fabric to the colors of your choosing. In the past, I have attempted to buy cheap ones and dye them myself, but I actually found that it's cheaper to just buy them, not to mention you have more range and consistency in the colors. Tho, if you already have some around with runs, it would be a great way to recycle them into something pretty. They come in many solid colors as well as aggregated colors that make your flowers look even more realistic.
