~How to make dip filler flowers~

Hey all!

My post about how to make dip flowers previously was a hit. Thanks to all the readers.

So, in this post I’m gonna share on how to make the filler flowers.. Do read

This is the materials that we need–>Coloured wires, plier, Q-dip, polystrene, and a round small cylinder (I used my lipstick here :p) Not shown in the picture-Floral tape and pearl beads.

The first step is to wrap the wire around the cylinder. If you want to make three petals flower, loop it three times as shown above. You can also loop it four or five times for more petals.

Secure the end with plier by making a knot. When you tie the knot, all loops must be joined at a point. Make sure that no sharp end sticking out to prevent injury.

After that, pry the loop open.

Start shaping it into a heart shape by pinching the centre of each petal.

Dip the outline of the filler flower into the chemical dip. You will get a thin layer of the crystal dip following exactly the outline of the petals.Do it slowly and carefully, like handling soap bubbles as the dip may break. Use thinner to dilute the dip chemical if it becomes thicker. The chemical becomes thicker when exposed to air for a long time.

Next, let the flower to dry out on the polystrene. You may also add glitters to the petals while the dip is still wet for glamourous touch. The picture above also shows the example of four petals flowers with different petals shape.

When the flower is totally dried, tidy the stalk using floral tape. It takes few hours for it to dry but usually I left it overnight.

Lastly, glue a pearl bead at the centre of the flower. You may also improvise  by using sequins or various beads in market.

These dip filler flower goes well with bigger dip flower. When they are combine together, they can be made into bunga telur and bunga dulang.

Refer to my older post on how to make dip flowers. Perhaps next time I can show how to combine them together.
