It is thanks to her that a person can create something unique and perfect, a product that will be pleasant to make, and then also give as a gift. For example, let’s even take the scrapbooking technique.Why is she so interesting? This is one of the popular techniques at the moment; it is used to make such products as a postcard, notepad, money envelope, album, interesting gift box, etc. In a word, you can create any paper object. Of course, to make any product you need a lot of different materials and accessories. In addition to paper and cardboard, for paper souvenirs you need a lot of different scrap decorations: flowers, leaves, beads, pictures, die-cuts, buttons, ribbons, cuttings, etc. Very popular decorations for scrap products are products made from polymer clay. These can be frames, flowers, birds, cameos and other objects. Even a small frame will add some originality and additional effect to your card. You can buy ready-made jewelry in special stores, or you can make such different elements at home using different molds. Molds for creating plastic jewelry are called molds. Molds are silicone forms for jewelry. We’ll look at exactly how to use them and what they are right now.
So, we need to take:
• Two silicone frame molds + mini figures;
• Plastic in sticks of 17 grams;
• Cutting knife;
• Board for plasticine;
• Glue for decoupage;
• Brush for decoupage;
Forms must be clean and dry. We put them on the board. We take sticks with plastic and cut them into small pieces with a knife.
We make a green frame, take a piece of green plastic and knead it until it becomes soft and flexible.
We roll it into a small sausage and place it in the mold, push it in and place it using the back of the hand.
Roll the next piece and fill out the entire form.
We do the same with the second form.
We put the forms with the contents in bags, close them and put them in the freezer until freezing, possibly overnight. Then remove from the freezer and bake in the oven at 150 degrees for about 15 minutes. Take it out, let it cool and put it in cold water.
Let the frames dry, coat them with varnish and dry them. You get these polymer jewelry in different colors. Any frame will complement the card and give it a festive look! Thank you all for your attention!
