Polymer clay chamomiles can become an independent decorative element, they can be assembled into whole compositions. At the stage of creating the core of the flower, you can mount a wire formed in the shape of a hook into the chamomile, which will then allow you to hang the craft on the wall.
If you want to make a chamomile out of polymer clay, you can use a cutter or a special shape to form it. The time it takes to sculpt chamomile is 20 minutes. Having filled your hand, you can make such flowers in 3 minutes.
Preparation of tools and materials
You will need sharp nail scissors and a stick, which can be used as a brush handle, its thickness should be approximately 5 mm. A toothpick will be needed, and the base will be polymer clay of different colors: yellow, white and green. ClayCraftbyDeco Japanese clay can be used.
Chamomile manufacturing technology
A ball should be formed from green clay, the diameter of which should be equal to 1.5 cm, after which it must be turned into a drop. Next, you should use yellow clay, from which you have to roll a sphere with a larger diameter - 5 mm, after which you need to turn it into a cake that you need to put on the head of the drop and press down a little.
Use a toothpick to poke at the yellow "cap" to show the green color. The workpiece can be left to dry on the battery or in front of the fan. Now a ball should be rolled out of white clay, the diameter of which should be equal to 2 cm, it also needs to be turned into a drop. Using nail scissors, the drop must be cut from the thick side to 2/3 of its length. The formed halves need to be opened a little. Each of the halves must be cut in half to form 4 equal parts, which must be opened and pressed down to get flat petals.
Now each part needs to be cut into 4 more parts. You get 16 petals, each of which should be touched up with your fingers. After that, the flower should be laid on the palm of your hand and the handle of the brush should be placed along one petal, slightly rolling the element so that it turns out to be semicircular. This is how each petal has to be processed.
The core of the flower, which has dried and become strong, must be inserted into the middle of the white blank. The final stage will be the drying process. To avoid damage to the flower, a baking dish for muffins should be turned upside down and placed in the center of the finished flower, in this state it can remain until cooked. At the same time, the core can be pressed a little deeper, then the errors made during work will not be so noticeable. The petals can not be made semicircular; a toothpick will allow them to be natural, with which the surface can be made textured.
