In recent years, handmade jewelry has become increasingly popular. One of these commonly used materials is polymer clay or plastic. Even a beginner will be able to fashion an interesting and unusual accessory from this material. And why not start making things by the summer, decorated with a favorite girlish motif - flowers?
It is necessary
Plastic (Fimo classic, Fimo soft, cernite and any other), toothpick, oven
Instructions
Step 1
We'll take a look at how to sculpt a chamomile flower, so you'll need white, yellow, and green plastic. To sculpt other colors from polymer clay, take the appropriate plastic.
Step 2
First, let's make the petals. To do this, take a white plastic and cut it into 16 identical pieces. This is the base of your petals. While kneading the plastic in your hand, give them a drop shape first. Make sure your droplets are the same size. If all is well, rub the "blob" between your palms, pulling it out, and then flatten the thick edge to make it look like a petal. This should be done with each workpiece.
Step 3
Putting the petals aside, grab the core. To do this, take the yellow plastic and roll the ball. Flatten it gently so that you get an even circle. Now use a toothpick to make many small indentations in the plastic. This will make your core look like a real chamomile core.
Step 4
If you want to use the flower as a decoration, you can skip this step. If you decide to put it in a vase, then your camomile needs a leg. It is very simple to make it - knead the green polymer clay, roll it out in a thin layer, take a piece of wire and wrap it in plastic. Petals can be made from the remains of green clay. The leg is ready!
Step 5
Now connect all the elements together, carefully smoothing the joints, and put the chamomile in the oven. Usually, plastic is baked for about half an hour at a temperature of 110 degrees Celsius. The required baking time and temperature for your type of plastic will be indicated on the package.
