One of the materials that I like the most when making crafts is rubber due to its versatility. With eva rubber you can make different types of crafts such as brooches, puppets, pencil holders, hats and decorations for parties, coasters, flower crowns and much more.

Speaking of flowers, EVA foam is an excellent material for making roses and other artificial flowers. In addition, they are a great option to give as a small gift to someone special or simply to treat yourself.

Steps to make eva rubber roses quickly and easily

  • First, take the sheet of EVA foam and with the help of a pencil and a ruler draw a 10 centimeter square.
  • Then, grab some scissors to round the corners and then cut in a spiral.
  • Then, you will have to make waves little by little with the scissors on the resulting piece. Don't worry if those waves are not the same size. That's the secret trick of this pretty EVA rose.
  • Next, with the help of your hands you will have to slowly roll the EVA foam on itself. In this step remember to apply a little hot silicone on each section so that the EVA foam is well rolled and held in place. In this way you will create the petals of the rose.
  • When you have reached the final section of the foam, glue the last part with silicone to the base of the flower to seal the craft and make the finish more beautiful.
  • Now you would have finished your EVA rose! You can leave it with a natural finish or add some ornamentation to the flower to make it look even more beautiful. For example, some half pearls or a little glitter. They will look beautiful!

Steps to learn how to make eva rubber roses with stem

  • The first step you should take to make this craft is to choose some letter-sized sheets of EVA foam and make strips measuring 3 centimeters wide by 21 centimeters long using a ruler.
  • Next, you will have to cut the first strip of the EVA sheet using scissors and continue until you finish the entire piece.
  • When you have all the EVA rubber strips ready, the next step you should carry out is to carefully make some waves on one of the sides of the strips using scissors. Although it is not necessary for the waves to come out perfectly, it is advisable for each of them to have a different height so that the rose looks prettier later.
  • At this point you will have to roll the EVA rubber strip around itself to create the petals of the flower. Remember to use a little glue at the beginning and at the end to close the flower and hold the result in place.
  • Finally, cut a green pipe cleaner in half and add it to the inside of the flower petals to act as the stem. To make it stick, use a little glue and let it dry.
  • And ready! You would have finished your colored EVA foam roses with a stem.
