EASTER 3D FLOWERBED

The painted chicken eggs no longer surprise anyone, no matter how professionally the painting was done. Applying floral ornaments is not difficult even for a child. But what if you add volume to the mural, breathe life into the flowers? Let's try it!
We need a regular chicken egg, paints (it is better to take acrylic), a little polymer clay of any color, glue, brushes, a small piece of satin ribbon, a stationery knife and scissors.

Clay is a naughty material, unlike plasticine, it is necessary not only to warm it under your fingers, but also to knead it qualitatively, only after that it will be possible to work with it. And the smaller the piece, the easier it will be to knead it. Therefore, we cut the clay into small pieces, knead each and roll the balls. From them it will be possible to make blanks for future flowers.

Having teardrop-shaped, round and oblong "semi-finished products", almost any vegetation can be created. In our case, it will be orchids and roses. Orchids are made of 5 petals (3 large and 2 smaller) and pestle, and as for roses - just wind round “pancakes” on top of one another, slightly bending in different directions. Leaves are made from the same teardrop-shaped blanks, only slightly cut along the edges with a knife.

There are many ways to make a product from polymer clay hard: it can be baked, it can be boiled until hard in a saucepan. And you can put the blanks in a plate, fill with water and put in the microwave for 5-6 minutes.

Hardened blanks must be dried on a piece of paper so that there is no water left between the petals, otherwise the paint will mix with water. The painting of such colors is limited only by fantasy: you can use any, even the most implausible shades: such a flower bed will be interesting to look even in monochrome. In this case, for roses, we used colors of silver and purple red, for orchids silver, violet and yellow mid, for leaves - green and a mixture of yellow mid and green. Proportions - by eye.

Now let's take a look at the background for our flower garden, that is, an egg. Thanks to the combination of acrylic colors of gold and red, the background will not only come out bright, but will also “play” and cast with gold in different lighting conditions. It is important to apply the paint at least in a couple of layers in order to achieve uniform color and hide the unevenness of its application.

You can glue flowers on dried paint. If you evenly disperse them on the surface, there will be an enumeration effect. And since only one side of the egg will be involved, the flowers will be arranged “in a pile”, a kind of flowerbed. Grouping them by type, or arranging them differently - is not so important: figure out different layout options, and, choosing the most favorable one, start gluing.

It is assumed that this souvenir can be hung, not put. Therefore, we do not make any coasters, but use a piece of satin ribbon. We bind it so that the bow has three "ears": an egg will be hung on one of them. We glue the bow on the same glue and our Easter 3D flowerbed is ready!
