To work on a set of glasses you will need the following materials:
- foamiran of light yellow, orange and green color, 0.8 mm thick.
- plastic suede with yellow and green glitter, 2 mm thick.
- glue gun.
- 18 medium-sized golden-colored beads.
- floral wire.
- green corrugated paper.
- 90 cm of gold braid.
- “Moment” glue.
- 8 light half beads.
- two tall glasses.
- dry pastels of red and green colors.
- wet wipes.
- lighter.
Before starting work, let's draw templates. For large flowers, a blank of 6 petals together with a diameter of 6.5 cm, you will need 6 of them. Leaves are 6.5 x 2 cm, there are 8 of them. For small flowers you need 2.5 cm squares, and for the base there are 18 more such squares. Medium flowers are 3 cm square, of which there are 4 pieces. You will also need 2 strips 9 x 2.5 cm and one 7 x 1 cm.
From light yellow suede we cut out 8 squares of 2.5 cm each.And we immediately form small flower petals from them. First we fold the square in half, then in half again, we get a small square. We take the bent corner and cut off the free side corners of the square into a semicircle. We open it and get a petal with 4 rounded parts. From this color of suede we also cut out 6 large petals according to the template.
We will paint these blanks. Take wet wipes and dry red and green pastels. We cover only the edges of the petals on both sides with red. And we treat their middle with a green tone.
On small light blanks we cover only the centers with red pastel on one side.
Now let’s knead each large petal one by one to change the structure of the suede. We add all the parts of the petal one by one.
We twist and knead with our fingers, giving the workpiece a cup shape.
Stamens are needed to assemble a flower. Cut a strip of 9 x 2.5 cm from shiny thick suede.
We cut thin strips along the entire length of the workpiece, leaving 0.3 mm intact to the edge. We get fringe.
Then we take a 7 cm wire and fasten a golden bead at the edge.
Now we attach the resulting fringe to this bead with a glue gun. We twist the strip flush with the bead.
We straighten the workpiece a little using a lighter. And the stamens are ready.
To assemble one main flower, we take 2 large blanks and stamens. We pierce the first petal in the middle with a wire with stamens and lift it up.
We fix this petal to the stamens with a glue gun, and add a second one to it.
Now we cut out 2.5 cm squares from green suede. From them we cut out the adhesives for the flowers. We cut it in the same way as for small flowers. And you need 18 of them.
We glue this blank at the bottom of a large flower.And on the wire we attach a thin strip of corrugated green paper with Moment glue, we get a green flower stem, and we have two of them.
Let's start with the light small flowers. We take the blanks one by one, put the 4 parts of the petal into one and knead them with our fingers, then straighten them.
For one flower we take 1 petal, 1 backing and 1 bead on a wire 7 cm long.
Using this wire, we pierce the middle of the petal, stretch it through and glue the bead. We attach the backing to the bottom of the flower, and cover the wire with paper. We will have 8 such flowers.
In the same way we glue 4 buds. We cut only 2 large pieces in half and use them as petals.
Take orange suede, cut out 4 squares of 3 cm. Using the same method as for small flowers, cut out 4 blanks. Knead, twist and form 4 flowers on the stem.
It's time for the leaves. We cut out 8 blanks from green suede according to the template and take 8 pieces of wire 7 cm each. We cover all the wire with corrugated paper, making green stems.
Now from the wrong side we glue this wire on each sheet, placing it to the middle of the workpiece.
And using a lighter, bend the corners of the leaves a little.
Take thick green suede, cut out a strip 7 cm long and 1 cm wide. Cut it into 6 thin strips along the length.
Using a lighter, heat the strips one by one and twist them into a spiral shape.
All components for decorating glasses are ready. For one you will need: 1 large flower, 2 buds, 2 orange flowers, 4 light yellow flowers, 3 shiny curls and 4 green leaves.
We collect a twig. In the wire of a large flower, 1 cm from the base, make a 90 degree bend.From this bend we attach 1 bud and 1 orange flower in one direction and cover it with green paper.
In the other direction from the main flower we attach a bouquet of 2 light flowers, 1 orange and 1 green leaf. We calculate the height of the attachment so that from the flower, which will be attached at the transition of the stem to the glass, to the edge of the bouquet, the height corresponds to the length of the glass itself. Only a corner of the sheet can protrude beyond the glass.
Add the remaining 2 light flowers and 1 bud in the middle of the bouquet. We wrap all fastenings well with green paper.
We take curls with glitter and place them along the edges and in the middle of the branch. Now we give the bouquet a bend. We turn the two lower flowers slightly to the side.
In two branches we make bends in opposite directions. We attach half beads in the free places on the corrugated paper. 4 pieces per bouquet.
Take glasses and golden braid. We attach the strips with Moment glue. We start with a small one around the base of the glass.
We glue the second strip higher on the glass from the first by 4 cm, and the third we rise another 4 cm higher.
Now we try on and correct the bend of the bouquet so that the flowers are pressed tightly to the glass. And at 3 points of contact between the flowers and the braid, we fix it with a glue gun. And we also bend the lower bud and orange flower closer to the glass.
But don't forget that we have two glasses. At this point, the decoration on the glasses is ready.
Good luck to all.
