Preparing materials for the necklace
To create an elegant necklace using wire and nail polish, prepare:
- nail polish (white, yellow-ash-pearl, green);
- wire (0.3 mm) - for flowers;
- wire (0.6 mm) - for the base of the necklace;
- marker or pencil (round object for curling petals);
- stamens for the center of flowers;
- floral tape (green);
- clasp and rings;
- a small piece of foam rubber.
Step by step: manufacturing technique
Take a wire (0.3 mm) and a marker. Depending on the length and thickness of the petals, you can use a pencil or any round or oblong object. Make a ring out of wire and place it on the marker. Holding the wire at the junction, turn the marker several times, thereby twisting the wire.
Remove the resulting twisted ring from the marker, stretch it slightly and bend it over the edge. It should look like a petal.
This is how all flower and petal decoration elements are made from wire and nail polish. Make the following petals: oblong - 6 pieces, and curly - 2 pieces.
In the same way, make a blank for the large central flower. Curl the first petal, and place a marker firmly on the place where the petal curls. After scrolling, make the second element. There should be 19 of them in total. When creating petals, slightly squeeze them along the edges so that they are not wide.
When all the petals are woven, insert the stamen into the middle. Fix the flower blank.
Use the same principle to make a flower with three petals and a center. There should be 2 of them.
Also, make flowers with five round petals - 4 pcs.
Take foam rubber, insert all the wire and nail polish pieces into it.
Start painting with varnish. The varnish must be fresh and thin. Holding the petal in your hand, put a lot of varnish on the brush and carefully, starting from the edge of the petal, connecting the edges of the wire (edges of the petal), pull along the entire workpiece. A film of varnish forms between the wires, connecting the edges of the workpiece.
Work carefully. It may not work out right away - you need experience. If it doesn’t work, try until you achieve the desired result. Carefully insert the finished piece, opened with varnish, into the foam rubber and leave to dry. Do this procedure with each petal from the blanks.
The first layer is the most difficult to apply; it takes 4 hours to dry. The rest - 1–1.5 hours. But after the last coating, natural drying takes a day. You need to open it in at least 4 layers.
As soon as the preparations have dried, wrap the “legs” of flowers and petals with floral tape.
Take a wire (0.6 mm), measure the length of the finished necklace made of wire and varnish (along your neck), fold it in half.
Wrap it with floral tape and screw on the flowers and petals like a regular wreath. Attach a large flower – a lily – in the middle of the necklace. You can give the flower shape by carefully bending the petals.
Attach and distribute all the flowers and petals to the sides. You can take this drawing and sequence, you can come up with it yourself - your imagination.
When finished, wrap the finished necklace tightly with floral tape so that the remaining wire is not visible.
Clasp. Take the rings and connect them together. Bend the edge of the wire (the base of the necklace) with round nose pliers and insert a chain of rings into it. On the other side, do the same, but attach a lock to the edge of the chain. You can adjust the length by the number of rings.
Carefully straighten all the petals so that they fit neatly along the contour of the neck. The necklace is ready.
Flowers made of colored epoxy resin. Photo master class
Recently, a two-component colored epoxy resin produced in France by Gédéo Résine Couleur has appeared on the shelves of specialized stores for creativity. Colored epoxy is an excellent material for creating a completely new decorative object; it can be used to create various types of models, architectural details, frames, table decorations, jewelry, hairpins and much more. If you purchase colored epoxy resin, I suggest you create such a gorgeous bouquet of flowers from it. Work and photo master class from the author: Diana Ash
Well, what do you think of the idea? Interested in purchasing epoxy? A flower arrangement for interior decoration can be very beautiful. Flowers made of epoxy resin are very similar to glass; they fascinate with their lightness, tenderness and fragility. By the way, about glass) On the website http://vitriny48.rf you can buy glass display cases in Voronezh. If you have your own store, then you should take the choice of display cases very seriously; it is the display window that will be able to present your product in all its glory. The company "Glass Lipetsk" has been manufacturing and installing various glass display cases and equipment for several years. On the company’s website you can order, as well as view a photo gallery of very beautiful display cases that could well decorate the interior of our apartment.
So, for work we need two-component colored epoxy resin, pink, lilac and green,
glassy water-based topcoat varnish for decoupage No. 744,
wire, wire cutters,
floral tape in green, white and brown, for stems, pistils and stamens
kebab stick,
plastic or wooden cylinders,
pieces of foam
We wind the wire around the kebab stick, then remove it and pull it out a little. Get wavy wire for flower petals
Take a plastic or wooden cylinder with a diameter of 4 mm and prepare blanks for the petals, as shown in the photo below
We give the blanks the shape of petals:
We take two-component colored epoxy resin and dilute it in a container in a ratio of 80% to 20% dye. We lower the workpiece into it, then set it to dry on a piece of foam plastic
For the leaves you will need a cylinder with a diameter of 35 mm. We wrap the cylinder with wire, remove it and shape it into a leaf.
For flowers, you can make three windings at once, resulting in three petals:
Dip the petals with stems into a solution of water-based glassy topcoat varnish for decoupage No. 744
We make pistils with stamens from wire and floral tape
We wrap the flower stems with green floral tape

We will need:
* wire (0.3mm)
* nail polish (preferably not too thick and not too runny)
* wire cutters
* plasticine
* ball pen
cut 5 approximately identical pieces of wire, not very large, 8-10cm
bend the wire in half and twist it like this
to get a ring like this
give it the shape of a petal, pressing it to the handle
if you look from the side it should look like this
Now the hard part:
Dip the brush liberally into the varnish, stretch a large drop from the brush over the entire part. It is not a fact that you will be able to pull the varnish bubble the first time.
The brush should be held at the minimum possible angle to the plane of the craft. Try holding the brush at the top and bottom of the craft. It was more convenient for me to do it from below.
Did the varnish stretch and not burst? Great. Now we tilt the craft in the right directions so that it spreads evenly, as you need.
You can combine colors, just be careful, the bubble may burst!
we wait until this thing dries a little, I dried it by sticking the petals into a piece of plasticine
stamens....Again, cut small pieces of wire and carefully place a drop of varnish on the tip
Roll it all together...voila! we get a flower)
You can make such a hairpin from a bouquet of such flowers))
It is most convenient to work with parts whose dimensions are comparable to the size of a brush with nail polish. If the part is much larger, it will be very difficult to apply nail polish to it. .
