Creating a scented rose jewelry set

Everyone strives to be fashionable and dress with a twist. And what modern girl doesn’t want to wear exclusive jewelry, and even made with her own hands? With this master class you will learn how to create beautiful decorations in the form of fragrant roses of absolutely any color. Yes, exactly fragrant! The pendant and earrings can be scented with essential oils, as well as your favorite perfume. Such decorations will act as aroma medallions, enveloping you in a pleasant aroma, and if they are scented with essential oils of mint, pine or tea tree, you can reduce the risk of a cold. When the scent wears off, you can repeat the process of aromatizing roses with the same scent, or any other. This is possible due to the fact that the mass from which jewelry is made absorbs moisture well and is able to retain aroma. But the downside of these decorations is that they cannot get too wet. And having acquired the skills of sculpting flowers, you can use them to create brooches, hairpins, bracelets, rings and much more.

So, what materials do we need:
1) Self-hardening polymer clay ClayCraft by Deco.
2) Dry pastel.
3) Round nose pliers.
4) Board for modeling.
5) Stationery knife.
6) A glass of water.
7) Three pins.
8) Two earrings.
9) Lanyard for jewelry.
10) Aromatic oil.

Let's start making jewelry!

Step 1. Take a piece of polymer clay, knead it well, and place it on a modeling board. We choose the color of the dry pastel, which we will “mix” into the clay. It is important that the color of the roses be slightly lighter than the pastel itself. Using a utility knife, cut the chalk into the clay, trying to keep the powder as fine as possible.



Step 2. Mix the “dough” with the pastel until the color is uniform, sometimes dipping your fingers in water to prevent the clay from drying out.



Step 3. Open a small piece of the mass, hide the rest in a bag. Knead the clay into a medium-thick pancake and make an accordion out of it, forming the center of the flower.



Important: do not tear off the resulting stem coming from the middle - it is convenient to hold the flower while working.
Step 4. Now tear off a larger piece, roll it into a ball and flatten it between your thumb and index finger. Attach the resulting rose petal to the center.



Step 5. We tear off the pieces, gradually increasing their size, form petals and increase the volume of the rose. We do this until we get the desired result. We have a pendant.



Step 6. You need to cut off the stem from the bud. Carefully cut it off with a stationery knife, trying not to crush the petals.



Step 7. Set the bud aside. We repeat all the steps to make earrings.



Step 8. Use a utility knife to “punch” the middle of the buds.



Step 9. Again we cut down pastel shavings of the same color that we needed to create the tone of the flowers.Next, sprinkle the centers of the flowers on the tip of the knife to highlight and accent them.



Step 10. When the flowers are dry, carefully insert the pins into them from bottom to top.



Step 11. Use pliers to make loops from pins in dried flowers, first cutting off the excess distance.



Step 12. Insert a cord into the loop on the pendant, and earrings on the earrings.



Step 13. Now we need to scent the decorations. To do this, take the essential oil you like and drop a little into the middle of the bud.



Our kit is ready!



These roses can be used to create rings, brooches, hairpins and much more! Colors can be varied, even with tints. To extend the life of your jewelry, you can coat it with clear nail polish, leaving the center untouched so that you can continue to scent it.
