ONE TUTORIAL A DAY FOR 31 DAYS – DAY 9 OF MY JOURNEY – PASSION FLOWER BOX

I had this project in mind for some time now, but I have never had the time to work on it. This morning I said to myself that it’s now or never, this is the best time to take it out of my head and create it. Which is what I did….

Materials and tools used: white Fimo Professional Polymer Clay, pastel colors, pasta machine, round cutter (two sizes), petal shape cutter, jewelry pins, Fimo varnish.

I have prepared the white polymer clay and roll it through the pasta machine. Then I have cut a round shape using a round cutter.

Using a petal shape, I have cut 10 petals.

I have shaped a little bit the petals (using gloves in order not to leave fingerprints on the clay).

I have used a toothpick to make a vein pattern on the petal.

I have put some Liquid Fimo on the round base and then I started adding petals all around.

I have cut another round shape.

I have put the round shape in the middle of the flower ( a smaller size).

I have shaped an oval form for the center of the flower.

I have coated with polymer clay three eye pins and then I put them on the oval center of the flower (I have used a little bit of Liquid Fimo).

I did the same in the lower part.

I have used another round shape to put the parts together.

I have cut out a round shape and then using the blade I have made another circle, concentric to the first one, but larger than the first one. Then I have cut thin fringes all around.

I have started coloring the flower.

And the final touches:

And then I put it into to oven and baked it according to the manufacturer’s specifications. After cooling down, I have applied two layers of Fimo varnish.

Then I decided to put it on a box.
