To prepare cold porcelain you need:
- 50 grams of starch;
- 50 grams of soda;
- 50 grams of water;
- any dye.
To decorate the composition you will need:
- organza;
- silicone gun and glue;
- toothpicks (about 20-25 pieces);
- thin wire 1 m;
- Styrofoam;
- a pot or other ceramic vessel;
- varnish in a can;
- beads.
So, first you need to prepare cold porcelain. In an aluminum saucepan, mix starch and soda, then add a little dye to the water, let it completely dissolve, and only then pour the liquid into this saucepan and mix it well with the other ingredients.
You need to cook the porcelain over low heat, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes, but you need to watch the consistency, the mixture should be thick and barely pull away from the walls of the pan. After the porcelain is ready, it needs to be allowed to cool.
To make roses, you need to tear off a small piece of porcelain and spread it over your palm.In essence, it resembles modeling from plasticine.
Carefully attach the first petal to a toothpick held in a vertical position.
So, one at a time, fasten until a small rose comes out.
You can choose its size yourself. Not all roses will have the same number of petals - that's okay, as long as they are at least approximately the same size.
The composition requires a minimum of 7 pieces. In any case, it is better to make 2-3 spare pieces. Flowers must dry within 3 days. You can't put them in the sun. When they are completely hardened, be sure to coat them with varnish (it is better to use varnish in a can). During these 3 days you will be able to choose 7 of the most beautiful roses, besides, if the lower petals are unsuccessfully fixed, during this time they may simply fall off.
Now you can start decorating. To do this, you need to cut the organza into small squares, approximately 5x5 cm. They do not have to be even, because small corners will only decorate the composition.
They need to be bent diagonally, then in half, so that a small triangle comes out. Now it should be secured to a toothpick, and secured from below with wire.
You will need about 10 such triangles. In the same way, you need to make 7 triangles, only the organza should be fixed in the middle of the toothpick so that a white bead can be glued to its tip with silicone glue. You need 7 such triangles.
The next step is assembling the entire composition. You need to cut a circle out of polystyrene foam and insert it into the pot so that you can use it to fix all the parts.
First you need to insert the roses.
Then, between them, using tweezers, you need to insert triangles with beads.Where there is empty space, decorate with simple triangles.
That's all, the flower arrangement using the cold porcelain technique is ready!
