For work you will need the following materials:
- Polymer clay for making flowers;
- Glue, in this case it is better to choose gel-type;
- Contours, gel for creating pearls;
- Ordinary glasses.
Stage one - creating roses from polymer clay.
It is necessary to form peas from small pieces of plastic. The size can be different, smaller ones for the middle of the bud, larger ones for the petals. Then, using your fingers, gently knead them into a petal, but do not make them too thin, as it will be inconvenient to work with.
Now you can start creating the bud of the future flower; to do this, take one of the resulting petals and carefully twist it, as shown in the photo below.
After this, petals are added to the bud one by one; the size of the future rose will depend on their number.You need to add one cake at a time, immediately after which, give it the desired shape. One of the advantages of plastic surgery is excellent shape retention. But you shouldn’t do it too fanatically, since the material is still soft. Thus, a rose is gradually formed.
The flower is already formed and ready, but there remains a long tip that is not needed for further work, so it must be cut off with a knife or blade. Please note that depending on the type of plastic, one will harden on its own after a certain period of time, while the other will need to be baked in the oven or microwave. For details, see the information on the packaging. The photo below shows ready-made roses that can be used for decoration.
Stage two - decorating glasses
In order to decor to hold on better, glasses need to be degreased; to do this, just wipe them with a cotton pad soaked in alcohol. If you don't have it on hand, you can simply wash them with detergent. Now let's proceed directly to the design of the glasses. First you need to glue the flowers; to do this, apply a small amount of glue to their back side, and then apply it to the surface. Considering the fact that the glass surface is sliding, the roses need to be held with your finger for a few seconds until the glue is applied, otherwise they may move a little.
After the roses are all glued, you can proceed to decorating with beads, the process is the same as with flowers. To make it easier to hold small pearls, you can use tweezers. To prevent them from scattering all over the table, you can put a towel.
At the final stage, using a glass contour and gel to create pearls, we decorate the glasses at our discretion, giving our own imagination complete freedom. Additionally, you can use rhinestones and other accessories; you can glue a bow made of satin ribbon to the leg.
