Plastic and convenient for creative work, clay is suitable for creating flowers with your own hands. Made with roses from this material, you can decorate a bottle of wine, glasses or vases. These decorative elements will come in handy for making jewelry. Large, naturalistically made roses look great in the interior of the room.
It is necessary
- - polymer clay;
- - thin gloves;
- - glass;
- - foil;
- - acrylic paints or pastels;
- - wooden toothpicks.
Instructions
Step 1
Carefully knead a piece of polymer clay in your hands of the color that suits you. You must remove any air bubbles that may be in this material. Then the finished craft will not suddenly crack.
Step 2
Wear thin rubber gloves or fingertips. If you sculpt rose petals with your bare hands, your prints will remain on them. Tear off a few small pieces from a piece of plastic and roll them into balls.
Step 3
Crush each ball into a thin cake. This can be done directly on the glass or between your fingers. The edges of the petals should be thinner than the center and slightly wavy. To do this, separately walk over them with the pad of your finger or a special tool.
Step 4
Rose petals can be made in another way. Roll a piece of plastic on the glass into a thin layer. Cut out the required number of petals using special cutters or according to a template. The more there are, the more magnificent the rose will turn out.
Step 5
Roll one petal into a tube. This will be the middle of the flower bud. Stick the next petal on the side. Bend its thin edges slightly inside the flower. Thus, attach a few more elements of the future rose.
Step 6
Glue the outer petals. Now bend their edges slightly outward. And in the center of each petal, make a small pinch, or you don't have to do it as you like.
Step 7
Cut off the excess plastic from the back of the rose with a sharp knife so that there is a flat base. Then it will be very convenient to stick it to glasses or use it in earrings or bracelets.
Step 8
Stick a wooden toothpick into each rose. Stick the other end of the toothpick into the wrinkled wad of foil. Place the resulting "hedgehog" in the oven. Read the baking conditions for your plastic on the label. This data may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Step 9
Examine the cooled roses carefully. All unnecessary prints can be sanded with fine-grained emery paper. To give the flower liveliness, tint it with acrylic paint or pastels. When working with pastels, the flower will need to be covered with a layer of varnish, and acrylic paint itself adheres perfectly to the product.
