Flower Glasses
Hello, friends. Today I'll tell you how I made the flower glasses.
The inspiration for this work served as the existing image, existing glasses and ...
and of course the Hippie style, god Ashik and the like.
Let's begin!
So, you may need accessories,
craft glue, glasses that do not mind,
and polymer clay in different colors.
So, we need to create rosettes,
so we get a piece of polymer clay and roll down it into a small tube.
The tube is twisted into the spiral.
Rose is very simple. By adding petals to the spiral one by one.
That is, you need to take another little piece of polymer clay
make it a flat
and slowly in a circle
attach them at spiral.
Every new petal should go little bit over the previous.
it's really similar to the real rose.
I do not try to do too naturalistic rosettes, but
following this technique, it just happens neat and beautiful.
One by one, one by one, until it seems that this is enough.
You can make these petals as you like, that is, they can be flat and tidy,
but I prefer to add additional form with fingers.
By attaching the petals to the rose, be careful
because the clay is very soft and malleable, and you can easily spoil your product with pressure.
In general, this technique is quite simple and does not require any special skills,
so after the first finished rose, it would be simpler with others.
And in the end I added a flat piece of clay to the base of rose.
With this it would be easier to glue this rose to the glasses.
For the next one try to mix the clay of different colors.
And keep in the same technique.
I just made about eighteen pieces.
Now you need to bake our roses.
So, polymer clay goes into the oven.
On the instructions to my polymer clay stated: "preheat oven to 130 degrees" ('b0 C)
And we need to bake them for about 15 minutes.
To ensure that the rose is ready, just tap on it, it should make a distinctive sound and should be solid.
Now comes the interesting part.
But before you start to decorate the glasses,
cover the glass with PE.
I put a drop of glue on the edge of the glasses.
We must wait a little bit to glue a little thickened.
I'm starting to attach.
If you have the opportunity to use rubber glue or hot glue gun
it will probably be a little easier.
Because with such a craft glue you need to wait all the time for it to dry out.
You need to correct roses over the glasses over the time,
because of the force of gravity and the fact that the glue does not dry up immediately, roses may nod slightly
and you will get not that you had been expected.
In working with small parts you may need the tweezers.
Now you can show all your taste and decorator talent.
I decided to decorate the whole upper part of the frame.
When glue is completely dry, I decided to go with glue on closed areas between the roses.
In order to fix roses in their position ...
and they won't fall.
Once the work is finished, you probably will remain some unused flowers.
Therefore, I suggest using the same method to create yourself some other summer accessory.
Result!
That's all, friends. I really hope you liked my idea, and it will inspire you to something.
And here's a couple more ideas from the Internet on the topic of variations of decor the flower glasses.
