Chamomile in a pot is an excellent master class that will help you and your child create a beautiful flower.
List of materials:
- Modeling clay Fimo Air Light
- Acrylic paints for toning the modeling clay
- Floral wire 1.4mm un 1mm
- Flower pot
- Foil for filling a flower pot
- Glue (any glue - white glue, hot glue or other glue for needlework)
- Piece of cardboard
- Tools for working with modeling mass and wire
- Water for work with modeling mass
- Artificial leaves
Step-by-Step Master Class:
1 The main color of the modeling mass is white.
2 Mass for modeling can be toned before work starts or can be painted already ready for work, after drying.
3 Cut the floristic wire (1mm) into 3cm pieces. These pieces are used to attach the daisy petals to the stem. For the stem of the flower, a wire of 1.4 mm can be used.
4 From the white mass for modeling we make 10 identical balls.
5 From the balls create petals. We place in each petal a piece of short wire.
6 Using a sharp instrument, we draw strips on the petal.
7 Create all the petals. We leave them for a while to let them a little dry. The complete drying of the molding mass takes 24 hours, depending on the thickness of the part.
8 We make sausage from green mass for molding. We put in it a thick floristic wire. From one end we create a flower head. In it, you can place a thin wire to additionally fix the yellow part of the flower head.
9 Carefully connect the green and yellow part of the flower head using water.
10 Water helps the modeling mass better to stick and makes it easier to mold.
11 We place the petals in the flower.
12 When the finished chamomile is completely dry, the petals can be additionally fixed with glue.
13 It turns out very pretty chamomile.
14 The heart of the flower can be decorated with any suitable instrument so that it looks like a real flower.
17 Fix a circle of cardboard over the foil, using glue.
18 The circle of cardboard is moistened with water and decorated with green mass for modeling.
