The flower of poinsettia and snow-berry berries is a lesson in polymer clay and a master class. Picture №3First, you need to form the petals withdifferent colors. We use polymer clay in orange, yellow and red colors to make petals with pointed ends in a length of 2 or 3.5 centimeters. We make small petals yellow, large ones - red, medium ones - orange. Then, the texture is formed in order to make veins. For them, we press the petals under a special mold, which can also be replaced by drawing a vein with the tip of a sharp object. Then, the petal needs to be toned. We will use pastel in red and orange colors. You need to scrape off the desired paint with a knife and apply pastel to the ends of each petal. We use different color shades for the leaves. Formation of the stem and budThe flower of poinsettia and snow-berry berries is a lesson in polymer clay and a master class. Photo №4Using wire, we cut it into pieces4 centimeters long, bend the ends of the segment and clamp them with pliers. Next, fold the vertical vein with the bent end of the wire, pinch the petal at its bottom so that the wire is not visible. In this way, we form the stems for each of the petals. Leave the four smallest options without a wire element. Then, we form a bud for the heart of the flower. Here, for a piece of wire, you need to throw a ball, using light green clay in a diameter of 0.5 centimeters. It needs to be shaped like an oval, then stretch it to the lower part of the wire and to the top of the oval we will form a pointed tip, which needs to be picked out with a needle. Then, we will mold the blanks in this way, but without using wire. Bunches The buds must be fixed on the wire, then the tops of the buds can be decorated with red pastel tinting. Or tinted after baking with paint. Then, attach the small petals to the bud. To do this, three small petals are placed at a distance from each other. SnowberryThe flower of poinsettia and snow-berry berries is a lesson in polymer clay and a master class. Photo №5To form the leaves for the snowberry,It is necessary to mold green clay molds (dark shade). Oval shape, 1.5 centimeters long. We will make them in such a way that veins are located on the surface. Next, we place the wires in the likeness of poinsettia leaves. We form 5 such leaves. The berries are formed using a 1 centimeter ball. Take several pieces of wire 3 centimeters long and form loops at the ends. Balls of white clay are put on the loops and then the unevenness is smoothed out. Then, the smallest ball is placed on a wire 8 centimeters long. Each ball is fixed with a ball of 2 millimeters in diameter. We frame the center of the ball with a depression using a needle and pick it out. Completion of work Next, it is necessary to tint the berries. This is done in this way. We take pastel colors of green and pink. We place it on our berries. Then, the berries need to be baked, like other elements. Afterwards, the berries need to be varnished. We use brown acrylic paint for this, and then - clay varnish. Afterwards, we need to collect snowberry flowers, and then the poinsettia flower. We fix the clasp for our flower, now the brooch is ready! If you need to make a toy - we fix another fastening element.
