Degrease the surface before work.For the roses, form balls from 9 - 12 pieces and flatten them into flat cakes. Roll the first one into a tube, attach the following flat cakes to it in a checkerboard pattern, slightly bending the edges. Cut off the bottom of the rose (make the bottom flat) for easier attachment to the surface. For white flowers, form similar flat cakes, fold them in half from one end. Mold large flowers from 5 petals and small ones from 2. Attach tiny yellow balls as flower centers. Give the petals a slightly irregular shape, typical for real flowers. Bake the finished flowers, as indicated in the instructions for thermoplastic.Attach the finished flowers to the bottle using the structural paste. Set aside for the paste to dry.Apply green beading with a painting trowelleaf-shaped paste. Let dry. Dilute metallic powder in a small amount of water, apply to flowers and bottle with a paint brush.Stick strips of tape along the bottle on three sides and paint the bottle with a piece of sponge with translucent paint with a white tint.

Before work, glasses must be degreased.For each glass you need 3 roses (small (1 cm), bigger (1.5 cm) and big (2 cm)). Make roses from white thermoplastic similar to the previous works, changing the number of petals for different flower sizes. Cut off the bottom of the roses (it should be even for easy attachment to the glass). Bake the flowers according to the instructions on the package.Make it from green polymer clayeach glass leaves are approximately 1.7 cm long (5 pcs.) and 3 leaves are 4.5 cm long (3 pcs.). Give them texture using a mold or draw veins with a toothpick.Form from pearlescent clayleaf 2 cm long. Draw a groove along the center of the leaf with a toothpick and grooves diverging to the sides on the sides. It is important not to cut, but to press. Form a shell from mother-of-pearl clay.

Pasta machine and rolling pin for polymer clay;
Pipe diameter of 3cm (metal or wooden);
Rectangular small cutter;
Foil;
Stationery knife;
Liquid polymer clay;
Acrylic glossy varnish;
Toothpick.

Wrap the base tube with several layers of foil. Crumple the foil to give texture to the inner surface of the rings.Roll out the sand clay in a pasta machine.The layer thickness is not less than 4 m. Cut out 2 rectangles 4 cm wide. The length should be based on the circumference of the base pipe. Wrap the blanks around the pipe with foil, smooth the edges.

Place the pieces from bottom to top in the following order - shortbread, white, chocolate. Cut the rectangles in half, and use a toothpick to give all sides the texture of a sponge cake.To make the cream for the cakes,It is necessary to add a little liquid polymer clay to the white clay in a separate container. Stir until the mass resembles chewing gum (viscous and viscous). In appearance, the workpiece resembles whipped cream and should be thick enough not to spread from the rings.Apply a thick layer of the mixture on top of the baked pieces.layer and a thin layer of the resulting cream on the sides, closing the seam. Cut 2 rectangles of 1x4 cm from sand-colored thermoplastic. Attach the clean side of the rings to the strips. Press down firmly. Thanks to them, the rings will be stable.Prepare red and chocolate colored cream in a similar manner.Spread all the ingredients on small squares of biscuitsflowers of cream. Let drops of cream flow down their sides. Cut fruit sticks into thin layers. Drown the fruit slices a little in the cream of the biscuits. Drown these blanks in a layer of cream of a large blank.For the strawberry, form a droplet. Press it lightly to the surface, so one side will be flat. Press holes on the convex half with a toothpick. Attach to the general workpiece.For the chocolate pieces, roll out a layer of clayof the corresponding color, 3 mm thick. Cut 2 pcs. with a rectangular cutter. Use a knife to cut the rectangles into 3 parts (5x8 mm). Use the blunt side of the knife to press 2 strips across and one along, so that you get a chocolate bar of 6 squares.Add a little white clay to the sand clay (you will get a lighter shade).
