New Year's wreath made of clay - materialsThe theme of the master class is a Christmas wreath!It is one of the most common types of decorations for the New Year. The wreath entered our lives very simply, thanks to one fascinating tradition of Europe, which hung such wreaths in order to bring happiness and prosperity to their home along with the Christmas holidays! Variants of coniferous wreaths are offered online in large quantities. But what if we prepare an elegant version of such a wreath ourselves? We will need special tools - polymer clay and special materials, with the help of which we will design our own crafts and make new things, are listed below. In addition, a step-by-step master class for work will be presented:
- Prepare the polymer clay in the colors of green, red, white shades
- Requires clay in liquid form
- Toothpick to process
- Circle cutters for a diameter of 3.2 centimeters
- Blade, or knife for the office
- Special composition of lacquer for clay
- Pasta-machine, or a substitute in the form of a rolling pin
- Razor, Ribbed Surface
- Film for food type
- Gloves for work
- Nails made of metal, schwenzy (two pieces)
How to make a wreath base?First you need to knead the plastic in greencolor until it becomes elastic. We use a ribbed surface from a razor. It is necessary to put a film for food purposes on it. This condition is necessary so that the polymer clay form moves away from the machine and does not accept deformation. We form a small version of a drop with the help of green plastic to a length of 5-6 millimeters and put it on the surface of the razor. Next, with the help of a finger, the plastic is pressed to the surface so that it is slightly flattened, and the texture of the razor leaves a mark inside. The work must be continued in gloves so that the fingers do not leave prints on the product. Next, we detach the finished sheets from the blades and with the help of our fingers, narrow the ends, obtaining simple shapes.
Formation of the general appearance of the product We usea pasta machine or a rolling pin to roll out the clay and then, using a cutter in the form of a circle on a large diameter, cut out the shape of the figure. After, a cutter on a small figure is taken to cut another version of the circle inside. Extract the version of the inner circle and begin to work with the edging. To begin with, it is necessary to lay the leaves on top of each other so that the leaves look out from different sides. Then, the leaves are lifted and the last rows are placed, closing the circular turnover of the leaves. After - we take polymer clay in white color and knead it. After, we put it in a small container and at the same time, add liquid gel. The mixture is mixed until the state of a homogeneous mass, it should look like sour cream in a thick form. Next, we coat our snow with white cream, in five areas, at equal distances along the perimeter of the future wreath. Using red clay, form balls of 2 mm in size and lay them on the smeared, white creams of the leaf. Using a thin brush, apply hatching of white cream on the surface of the leaves, on the entire product.
Decorating a wreath for earrings Next, with a light movementrolling pin or minimum mode of the machine for pasta, we roll out the clay in red color and cut out a rectangle shape from it measuring 1.5 centimeters by 0.7 centimeters. Using a blade, we form a hexagon. We connect the ends of the hexagon with sharp corners. Next, we form two halves of the bow, which need to be connected. We roll them to the joint using a metal knitting needle or a toothpick. Using a rolled out layer of clay in red, we form ribbons. Next, the ribbons must be laid on the surface of the craft so that their edges are directed in other directions from each other. Next, we put a metal nail on the sharp part of the ribbon, cover it with a bow. We place our workpiece in the oven and fire the product. After that, we cover it with varnish for polymer clay. Using a nail and round-nose pliers, we form a loop. We fix the product with ear wires. Thus, our earrings are ready!
