Such a kind of needlework brings a lot of pleasure, greatly develops a fantasy, a sense of excellent, and also causes a sense of complete satisfaction from the result.
Features of the material and working with it
Cold porcelain - demanded material for manual needlework, allowing making the most beautiful decorations and crafts. Although externally products are very similar to ceramic, in fact they are quite strong from them differ in their characteristics. Cold porcelain is afraid of both conditions of high humidity and direct sunlight, strong overheating, so the location of products need to be chosen taking into account these features. In order for the product to existees as long as possible, it is better to cover it with a varnish - then it will be less undergoing microclimate whims.
Material for handmade can be purchased in the store. If you failed - you do not need to despair, as it can be easily made himself. To properly make the "dough", you will need the following ingredients, selected in the right quantities: starch from rice or corn, PVA-glue, glycerin, cream (it is better to take children's) and citric acid for strength. Cools with starch are mixed in equal proportions 1: 1 . There is also a mass of glycerol and cream, obtained from the proportion 2: 1, and acid. Thoroughly mixed raw materials must be laid for a quarter of an hour, then you can start work. Material must be used at one time - to the subsequent modeling it will be unsuitable.
To get a color product, you can initially add paint to the mass or paint the finished figure a day after the modeling. The work will not require the availability of special tools, it is important that you have scissors and adhesive, and the rest of the accessories (toothpicks, wires, paints, tassels, beads, etc.) are added as needed.
Cold porcelain crafts for beginners
Compliance material processing makes it possible to create a wide variety of products and crafts. As far as they are complex and elegant, depends more from the skills of modeling. Real masters are able to create stunning masterpieces, many of which are then used as functional household items. Beginner it is necessary to gain skill at simpler crafts, the examples of which we will later give.Flowers Sakura
The most popular products are flowers. To make an excellent gentle branch of Sakura, which will become a decent decoration of the interior of the living room, you will need three colors of porcelain - green and two others for petals of buds (optional).
To begin, it is necessary to connect white and pink material and form a paler, which is then cut with scissors to small fragments (see photos). Of these, it is necessary to form petals that glue in the form of a bouton. The finished flower is pierced with a toothpick and make a wire in it. Next, we form green cups and glue them to the composition.
The main flower is ready. It can be decorate with decorative pestles, beads, etc. Artificial colors can decorate the interior of the room, make a spectacular wall panel, make stunning pendants or decorating the wardrobe.
Cold porcelain roses
Make beautiful cold porcelain boutons in several ways. To begin with, it is necessary to pick up the rod on which the flower will be formed - it can be a hairpin, toothpick, wire, etc. Also for work will need scissors, preferably manicured, as they are more convenient to cut small parts, glue and brush, cold porcelain dough red, pink or any other desired color, as well as green material for forming leaves.
Since making methods are somewhat different from each other, you may need accessories: a ready-made pattern for petals or pencil with cardboard to create it. When everything is ready, you can proceed to work, following step-by-step instructions presented below. Roses from a cold porcelain are a great material for creating bakery compositions, decorations, souvenirs, etc.
Decorative Cup
Since, as we have noted, our material is afraid of temperature drops, we take the usual cup. Next, it takes cold china of various shades, of which we form the main details of the compositions - roses. They will need five pieces of different colors and sizes. It will also be necessary to make petals from a salad test.
We proceed to the collection of composition: we roll off a dark green stain and stick it into a cup - this is the basis. Next, roses and petals are alternately glued. Then you need to form small blue flowers from the cutting "droplets" of the material and form it yellow seds.
Frame for photo from cold porcelain
A beautiful photo frame can become not only a magnificent decoration of the room, but also a first-class gift made by personally. Such a present will probably enjoy the birthday name, and for the master will become a real pride.
Initially, you need to get the foundation - purchase a ready-made frame in the store or cut out of plywood, cardboard. Next - the case for fantasy. It is better to first draw the project of the future craft on paper, and then sculpt the necessary details - it can be flowers, sea pebbles, shells and other parts.
To blind seashells is easy if you use silicone forms (moldes). They can also be kept independently. Further, some samples are presented in the photo, as can be done. By the way, you can assemble a beautiful bracelet or keychain from such elements.
Wicker products from cold porcelain
If you already have an experience of modeling various crafts from a cold porcelain by shoulders, we suggest to start more complex products and compositions. You can make your own hands the beautiful decor for the living room, kitchen or other room with a weaving method, for example, a cute basket, which can then be filled with a bouquet or bouquet fruit. So, for our work, we need a cold china painted in brown tone, a knife, a small piece of sturdy wire for a handle and a container that will serve to form a frame. Next, we do everything in order:
1. Roll over porcelain, turning it into a thin (no more than 2 mm in diameter) rod, which is then cut into segments of the same length.
2. We glue the segments on the base, pressing and gluing their ends in the center of the bottom, hang up to the same length.
3. Roll over the flat circle and put the base of the future basket, cutting the protruding fragments.
4. When the billet will dry up, turn over, remove the basis and proceed to weaving with the help of the remaining rolled rod, as shown in the photo.
5. When the formation of the basket is finished, you can put a pigtail to separately and glue as a rim, and the internal bottom also "eliminate" a flat circle of material.
6. We take a metal wire and bend it in the form of a handle, wind the thin sausage of a cold porcelain and crepary to the basket. Crafts ready!
In this way, various products can be placed: vases, saucers and entire services that will become a real pride of the home and excellent gift.
