ROSE BROOCH

Send

Spring will come very soon and we already so want warmth and bright colors. Creativity will help you to relieve yourself of winter despondency, namely, the creation of bright pink polymer clay jewelry - brooches in the shape of a rose. Juicy shades and a combination of green and pink will cheer you up, and the brooch itself will perfectly complement any, even the most rigorous outfit.
In order to finally get a rose brooch, we need to stock up on the following:
- polymer clay of three colors: pink, white and green, and white, we need a little bit to slightly dilute the original pink color in buds;
- dense corrugated paper to give the petals a texture;
- the basis for the brooch;
- glue for attaching roses to the base;
- varnish to cover the finished product.
You should have on hand an office knife, a pusher or a wooden toothpick, a piece of foam so that the semi-finished product does not deform during operation.

Knead pink polymer clay and tear off several approximately equal pieces from it - these are future rose petals.

We take equal pieces of pink and white plastic and mix - we get pink color of a lighter shade.

We form blanks of petals from light pink plastic.

We take one light piece and form the base of the bud, giving it the shape of a droplet.

Using a knife and a pusher, we cut the top of the base and give the appearance of the middle of the rose.

We take a piece of corrugated paper and press it to the base of the rose to give the material a characteristic texture.

We take a light pink slice, knead into a petal flat cake and, wrapping it in corrugated paper, squeeze it.

We texture all the petals, sticking them to the base of the bud sequentially, turning one on top of the other.

Rose is ready.

Now we will make the buds. We repeat everything too, which was done at the beginning when creating the rose.

We roll out a small layer of green clay, sharpen the edge and wrap the bud around it. We apply corrugated paper. So we create two buds on legs.

We begin to create a sheet. To do this, take a larger piece of green plastic and give it the shape of a rose leaf, texture it with corrugated paper and, using a pusher, apply a vein pattern, make denticles along the edges.

Take a piece of green clay and form a circle to the size of the base for the brooch.

To this base we sequentially fasten a leaf and two small buds. With a knife, we cut off the excess with a knife below, so that it keeps well on the base.

Lastly, on a plastic base, we fasten the rose, carefully pressing it with a pusher or stick through the middle of the bud.

Now we send this whole composition to the oven for about half an hour (temperature 110-120 degrees).
After cooling, glue the composition onto the base for the brooch, cover with varnish.
