For work, you need the following materials:
- Polymer clay for making flowers;
- Glue, in this case it is better to choose gel-like;
- Contours, gel for creating pearls;
- Ordinary glasses.
Stage one - the creation of polymer clay roses.
From small pieces of plastic, it is necessary to form peas. The size may be different, smaller for the middle of the bud, larger for the petals. Then, using your fingers, gently knead them into the petal, but do not need to make them too thin, as it will be inconvenient to work.
Now you can start creating the bud of the future flower, for this we take one of the resulting petals and gently twist it, as shown in the photo below.
After that, the petals are added alternately to the bud, the size of the future rose will depend on their number. In turn, you need to add one cake each, immediately after which, give it the desired shape. One of the advantages of plastic is its excellent shape retention. But do not do it too fanatically, as the material is still soft. Thus, a rose is gradually formed.
The flower is already formed and ready, but there is a long tip that is not needed during further work, so it must be cut off with a knife or blade. Please note that, depending on the type of plastic, one hardens on its own after a certain period of time, and the other must be baked in the oven or microwave. Details can be found in the information on the packaging. In the photo below, ready-made roses that can be used for decoration.
Stage Two - Glass Decorating
In order to decor the glasses kept better, it is necessary to degrease, for this it is enough to wipe them with a cotton pad soaked in alcohol. If it is not at hand, you can just wash them with a detergent. Now we proceed directly to the design of the glasses. First you need to glue the flowers, for this a small amount of glue is applied to their back side, after which we apply it to the surface. Given the fact that the glass surface is sliding, you need to hold the roses for a few seconds with your finger until the glue is taken, otherwise they can move out a little.
After all the roses are 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. So that they do not scatter around the table, you can put a towel.
At the final stage, with the help of a glass contour and a gel to create pearls, we decorate the glasses at our discretion, giving our own imagination complete freedom. In addition, you can use rhinestones and other accessories, a bow from a satin ribbon can be glued to the leg.
