Working with material
In order to make a beautiful gardenfigurine, we will need a special bottle. A plastic milk container is ideal. Cut off the neck, which will become the form through which we will create our mushroom sculpture. In order for the extraction of the future workpiece to be easy, first we need to treat the walls of the old bottle with soap, oil, and water. The ratio in this case will be 2 to grated soap, 1 to oil and 7 to water. Next, grate the soap with a grater and add it all to the container. Then, pour in the oil, and then water. All this must be mixed well and then apply our protection to the walls of the desired container. Plaster for the mushroom leg
Afterwards, it is necessary to make a plaster cast.Plaster must be created under the conditions described on the product packaging. Plaster and its solution must be poured into our mold and then left until it hardens completely. After that, we wait for half an hour, or a little longer, until our base hardens completely. After that, using a stationery knife, we cut out the desired type of form and then we need to get our plaster blank from there. Plaster for a mushroom capAfter this, we start working on the hat.To do this, you need to take the necessary version of the cup, which will fit the shape of the cap. It must be covered with food film. The film should fit tightly to our product, preferably without various folds on it. Next, again dilute the desired plaster, fill the cup. Fix the finished leg in the hardening plaster. Now all this must be left for about half an hour. After that, your mushroom shape is ready! Next, you can decorate it with other decorative elements.
