Jewelry - accessories that can not only decorate the image, but also give it a finished look. If you want to have unique jewelry in your collection, then try to make them yourself, for example, from salted dough.
It is necessary
- - a glass of flour;
- - a tablespoon of PVA glue;
- - green beads;
- - glass bowl;
- - 1/2 cup fine salt;
- - 1/5 cup cold water;
- - white, green and yellow gouache;
- - brush;
- - thick line;
- - carabiner lock;
- - colorless varnish;
- - knitting needle.
Instructions
Step 1
Pour flour into a bowl, add salt to it and stir. Pour the resulting mass with cold water and stir with a spoon until the mixture looks like plasticine. As soon as the dough becomes plastic, make a depression in it, pour a tablespoon of PVA glue into it and knead everything with your hands.
Wrap the finished dough in a bag and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Step 2
After a while, place the dough on a work surface and divide it into three parts. First divide the whole dough one to two, then divide the smaller part again one to two.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of green gouache to the largest piece of dough, 1/3 teaspoon of white gouache to a slightly smaller piece of dough, and 1/4 teaspoon of yellow gouache to the smallest piece of dough. Remember each piece of dough in your hands until the paint is completely evenly distributed over the dough.
Step 3
Put the pieces of white and yellow dough in a bag and close it tightly (this is required so that the material does not dry out), put only a green piece of salted dough before the failure. Roll a "sausage" about one centimeter in diameter from the dough, then cut the blank into centimeter pieces. Roll an even ball from each piece, then make a through hole with a knitting needle exactly in its middle. Place the beads to dry.
Step 4
Take a yellow and white salty dough, roll each piece into a sausage with a diameter of 0.5 centimeters. Cut the blanks into equal pieces no more than three millimeters long. Roll them into balls.
As a result, you should have five times more white balls than green ones, and yellow ones as many as green ones.
Step 5
Slightly flatten each white ball between your fingers to form "cakes"-shaped pieces, then use a regular toothpick or needle to make two parallel presses on each "cake". The result is petals.
Step 6
Take dried green beads and lay out a flower on the side of each of them with white petals. Place a tiny yellow bead in the center of each flower and press down with a knitting needle. Let the finished beads dry completely (leave them in a warm, ventilated room for 12 hours), then cover them with colorless varnish and dry again.
Step 7
Once the beads are ready, you can start collecting the beads themselves. Take a line with a length of 40-50 centimeters and tie one part of the fastener to one end of it. String a bead on a fishing line, then a tiny green bead, then a bead again, and a bead again … Keep collecting the beads until the line runs out. Tie the second part of the lock to the other end of the line. Salted dough beads are ready.
