CANDLESTICK "SAKURA"

Send

The composition is based on a tall glass with flowers from foamiran.

For work, we will use the materials:
- champagne glass is transparent.
- a small twig of birch.
- colorless furniture lacquer.
- plastic suede of pink color and a little green.
- cardboard.
- pink shiny sequins.
- art brown and white paint.
- a thin brush.
- scissors.
- a toothpick.
- beads of a golden hue.
- glue gun.
- transparent thin and paper tape.
- a candle.
- a glass of boiling water.
- paper napkins.
- iron.
And before you start making a candlestick, draw color patterns. The first is similar to a flower of 4 petals, with a diameter of 2.5 cm, and the second of 5 parts together, with a diameter of 4 cm.

Now we take a small twig of birch, sprinkle it with boiling water from the teapot. Shake and wipe away excess moisture with napkins. Then we turn the glass upside down and with the help of paper tape we fix the branch to this base.

Now you need to give the branch time to dry, but you can speed up the process using a hair dryer. The main thing is that the twig should be dry.

Now we take a glass and white paint. Paint the leg completely with a brush. On the circle of the bottom of the leg, which will serve as a stand for the candle, we leave a transparent figure in the shape of an irregular star. And at the junction of the legs with the glass, we also color 3 triangles. Along the edge of the glass we also have 4 figures in the form of wide angles.

A dry branch is covered with transparent varnish for resistance to fractures. And give time to dry.

So the basis for the candlestick is ready. The glass and branch are dry.

Getting to the flowers. Made of pink plastic suede with a toothpick, 10 small and 12 large petals patterned. And carefully cut. And cut off a 1 cm strip of green material.

Since suede changes under the influence of heat, we will make a new form of flowers with an iron. In turn, we apply pink blanks to the preheated iron. Under the influence of heat, the part itself begins to shrink inward and falls away from the iron.

In this way, we change the shape of all colors.

Now go to the leaves. We cut a green strip into 1 cm squares. And then we round the opposite corners, we get the shape of a boat. Such leaves will need 9 pieces.

We continue to work on leaves and a toothpick, we draw the average main vein at each workpiece.

Now back to the flowers. We take the workpiece, put it in the middle of the iron for a couple of seconds, place it in the palm of our hand and quickly press the other edge of the brush into the middle of the flower from the front side. It turns out a small depression.

We do this in all the details.

Not enough stamens in the flowers. We will make them from golden beads. For small enough, 1 piece is enough, and in large colors you need to glue 4 to 5 stamens.

We now proceed to the manufacture of the bottom of the candlestick. We circle the edge of the glass on the cardboard, but cut it out with an allowance of 0.8 cm. If the cardboard is thin, then we make 2 - 3 of these parts. Then grease the inner circled circle with glue.

And pour pink sequins on it.

After that, we glue another half of the remaining space on the cardboard with glue. And put the glass upside down on the prepared place. Jewelry will be inside the glass.

Now proceed to securing the branches to the base of the glass. We glue the bottom of the branch with a gun at the very bottom, on cardboard. And the rest of the part is fixed with a thin transparent tape in 3-4 places to the glass.
