The process of making an artificial flower

When you use an artificial flower in your home, you will not have to undergo the trouble of taking care of it. This means that you will not water the flower, you will not collect leaves and flowers because such a flower does not drop its petals, and you will not need a garden for the purpose of planting a flowers. An artificial flower will resemble a natural one so much that you might not differentiate between the two. This is because quality is observed in the process of manufacturing the flower.

Polyester is mostly used in the manufacture of these flowers because it is cheap, it is easily dyed and glued, and it is durable. However, the flower manufacturers who use polyester will also use plastic materials in the manufacture of the other parts of the flower. These parts include the stem and the berries. In the up-market, an artificial flower will be made using silk, rayon and cotton. Some parts of such a flower will be made using wires that are covered in paper. However, the paper that is used will be specially dyed, it is tear resistant and it is durable. The flower is made look like a real one by the use of dyes whose ingredients are all natural. Moreover, the artificial flower will have berries of the same size as the natural ones. The process of making the flower is described below.

The first step involved the manufacture of petals for the flower using dies. In this step, the petals are also dyed appropriately and this is done from the edges inwards using either a paint brush or a cotton ball.

The second step adds more shapes and distinctive curves to the petals made of the flower. This is done by applying heat on the petals via mold. Afterward, the manufacturer uses wires to make the flower stiff. The wires are inserted by hand and fixed by the use of glue.

The third step involves the assembly of the petals and leaves of each artificial flower. Workers with great skills will be used by the manufacturer in this step. Within this step, wires are covered with either paper or a tape which is wax coated to enable it to stick easily. Once all the individual parts are assembled, the complete artificial flower is assembled.

Finally, the flower is wrapped and packed, and if there is an order it is shipped to the customer.
