Roses made of homemade colored mastic

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   We will need a kneading container, a sieve and a coffee grinder. In fact, I have never fixed the amount of powder spent, periodically turning sugar into it as needed. But if someone does not have a coffee grinder, you can always buy powder in the store, and believe me, it's better to take more)))

2. Step 2:

   

   Rub the bottom of the container with oil.

3. Step 3:

   

   I use 2 types of dyes, dry and gel. Gel can be added to the finished mastic.

4. Step 4:

   

   If you use dry ones, then they must first be dissolved in a drop of water or in lemon juice.

5. Step 5:

   

   In order not to buy a lemon every time for the sake of a few drops, I use ready-made lemon juice.

6. Step 6:

   

   Pour marshmallow marshmallows and our dye and put it in the microwave for 10-60 seconds, depending on the amount of marshmallows. (if 200g, then somewhere for min.)

7. Step 7:

   

   It is advisable to observe how it heats up, as soon as it increases in volume by 2 times, immediately turn it off. It is important not to overheat the marshmallow, the ATO mastic will be spoiled, it is better to put it again later. Someone puts on a water bath instead of a microwave, to be honest, I tried it once, it didn't work out, apparently I overheated and the mastic began to crumble very much, I had to throw everything away, I didn't dare to try anymore)),

8. Step 8:

   

   Since I have a very convenient sieve on this container, I unload everything into it. The bottom of the bowl pritrusila powder and from above pritrushivaya powder gradually knead the dough.(it sticks to your hands terribly, be patient, this is normal)))

9. Step 9:

   

   When the mastic cools down a little, you can add more powder. If you throw a hot marshmallow on a large amount of powder, it will curl into lumps and you risk spoiling everything.

10. Step 10:

    

    I need a richer color, so I add more gel dye.

11. Step 11:

    

    Mastic becomes elastic, ceases to stick to hands, tightly packed in plastic wrap and in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

12. Step 12:

    

    We pinch off the amount we need for work, hide the rest in the film, as the mastic dries and crumbles.

13. Step 13:

    

    Roll out the mastic with a rolling pin. but not too thinly, because dried roses will be very fragile. So, the first option is to make such flowers of different sizes, since I don't have any cuttings, I first cut out their papers, applied them and already cut them out of mastic with a knife.

14. Step 14:

    

    That's it

16. Step 15:

    

    Wave the edges with a tool or something similar, this is to make our rose realistic.

17. Step 16:

    

    Put a bigger flower in foil to solidify in this form.

18. Step 17:

    

    Making the middle

19. Step 18:

    

    And starting with the smaller flowers, we wrap the petals of our rose in one.

20. Step 19:

    

    And the last flower that we have dried up. here's what happened.

21. Step 20:

    

    According to the second method, I also cut out blanks from paper.

22. Step 21:

    

    Cut it out, filled it out.

23. Step 22:

    

    Also made the middle and we put our petals in order, starting from the middle of the previous one.

24. Step 23:

    

    And so on from less to more. At the bottom, we cut off the excess mastic and make a neat round shape.

25. Step 24:

    

    I place our rose on the foil until it hardens to give splendor to our petals.

26. Step 25:

    

    So we have reached the third method. as for me, it is the fastest and easiest. We take a glass and a glass with a larger diameter, I have a glass and squeeze out the circles. We wrap the petals as in the previous version and send them to dry on foil.

27. Step 26:

    

    Here is such a rose turned out. To be honest, the subsequent roses I have not even waved the petals, it is also beautiful, it turns out in an original way.

28. Step 27:

    

    There are not enough leaves for the full set, fortunately I have plungers, well, who doesn't have them.... be patient and go ahead)))
