We make a rose from polymer clay: a master class
Polymer clay, or plastic, is a verypopular today at the needlewomen. From it they make jewelry, souvenirs, toys. What are the advantages of this material, where to begin to master the technology of working with plastic? This will be discussed in the article. You will learn how to make a polymer rose clay - a beautiful element of a brooch, a necklace or hairpins.
Properties of plastics
At first glance, polymer clay is similar toplasticine. It is sold in the form of brusochkov different colors and sizes. Each piece of plastic is wrapped in film. This is necessary so that it does not harden, but this process happens when the clay for molding is affected by air. Plastic also hardens when it is heat-treated. In work, this material is very malleable and elastic. From it you can sculpt very small figures and details. Masters of this direction in needlework have learned to make microscopic products on which all small elements are looked through. Very plausible are obtained from plastic flowers. Chamomile, bells, roses and other similar items, consisting of simple details, even a novice in this craft is able to blind. Next, your attention is presented to the master class, which describes how to make a polymer clay rose. Study it and try to create your own craft. Make sure that it's not difficult, but very exciting. So, you are waiting for polymer clay.
Rose: a master class for making this flower from plastic. Preparation for creativity
Before we proceed directly to the execution of the craft, we will collect all the tools and materials necessary for this. With their list you can find out more.
- Polymer clay of the desired green and red color.
- The board is wooden, plastic or glass.
- Knife for cutting plastic.
- Misochka with water.
- Stack or toothpick.
- Brush.
- Varnish for decorative works.
Before starting to mold flowers from the polymerclay, prepare the workplace. The table and the plank should be dry and clean. Particles of dust, dirt, nap if present on the working surface, immediately adhere to the plastic and spoil its appearance. Wash hands before beginning the creative process with soap. Put a bowl of water on the table, put the stucco and knife on the edge of the plank.
Step of the bud
We begin to sculpt a flower in the form of a rose frompolymer clay with their own hands. Cut a plastic block of red color into ten relatively identical pieces. Nine of them roll into balls. One element is designed in the form of a pear - this will be the core of the flower. Spread the balls, forming cakes from them. It will be the rose petals. All of them should be approximately the same size. The central part (core) is taken with one hand, and the second one attach to it one of the cakes. Fold the petal around the pear-shaped element. That edge which adjoins to a core, press fingers, allowing it to attach. The second lobe mount in exactly the same way. Having it from the middle of the first, that is, it turns out that they will go lapped. Lower the edge of the flat cake and press the upper slightly back. The half-opened petal will be obtained. Similarly, attach the other such details, bending more and more petals. You will see how the product acquires the shape of a flower.
We sculpt the leaf
You molded a polymer from a polymer clay, or ratherbud. Next, start making leaflets. Cut a piece of green plastic in half. From one piece, first form a lump. And then spread it into a lozenge shaped oval. One narrow side of this workpiece is designed in the form of a sharp corner. Put the product on a plate and with a toothpick or special stack, draw a streak. The edges of the leaf flatten with fingers, giving them a wavy form. In the same way, decorate another similar element.
Connecting parts
We continue to make flowers from polymer clay inthe form of a rose. The bud and two leaves are already ready. Now you need to connect them together. Attach the leaf to the reverse side of the flower, under the petals. Press the junction with your fingers, hold it for a few seconds. Similarly, attach the second leaf. Now, so that the place where the parts are connected does not seem too thick, cut off excess clay by knife, leveling the inside of the craft.
The process of baking plastic
Read the instructions that came with it.polymer clay. It indicates at what temperature and how much time to dry the product in the oven. As a rule, it is heated to 110-130 degrees. Put the craft on a baking sheet covered with parchment and leave in the oven for a quarter of an hour. If the product is volumetric, then the baking time can be increased by another ten minutes.
Finish: plastic coated with varnish
When you blind and dry out polymer clayrose or other product, it will need to be treated with varnish. This will give the craft greater durability and shine. Brush dipped in varnish and evenly apply it on the surface of the product. Leave the finished composition to dry naturally.
Notes
If the product will be used as a brooch, thenat the stage of alignment of the inner side of the flower, you can attach special accessories and dry everything then. Such reinforcement will be reliable and durable.
In order for a rose (polymer clay), a master class for the manufacture of which you studied, to become a decorative element of a hoop or barrette, it must be glued to them with the help of a thermogun.
