Minusta on aina hauska kokeilla erilaisia tekniikoita ja ideoita, \u00e4idilt\u00e4 peritty ominaisuus. Instagramissa olen t\u00f6rm\u00e4nnyt toisinaan metallilangasta tehtyihin, hauraan l\u00e4pikuultaviin pieniin kukkiin. Ryhdyin selvitt\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n miten ne oikein on tehty. Selvisi ett\u00e4 herk\u00e4t kukkakoristeet on tehty kynsilakalla! T\u00e4h\u00e4n n\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 olevan useampia hiukan erilaisia ohjeita, riippuen siit\u00e4 mihin k\u00e4ytt\u00f6tarkoitukseen kukat tulevat ja miten kest\u00e4vi\u00e4 niist\u00e4 halutaan. En t\u00e4ll\u00e4k\u00e4\u00e4n kertaa ryhtynyt tilailemaan mit\u00e4\u00e4n erikoismateriaaleja vaan pit\u00e4ydyin ihan siin\u00e4 mit\u00e4 kaapista l\u00f6ytyi valmiina, eli ohutta metallilankaa, kynsilakan j\u00e4mi\u00e4, py\u00f6r\u00f6pihdit, leikkurit, pala styroksia ja sukkapuikko. Ja eikun hommiin. Huomiona viel\u00e4 ett\u00e4 t\u00f6nk\u00f6ksi kuivahtanut kynsilakka ei t\u00e4ss\u00e4 toimi, vaan lakan pit\u00e4\u00e4 olla melko juoksevaa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kynsinauhapuikon ja pihtien avulla kieputtelin metallilangasta pikkuruisia kukkia ja lehdyk\u00f6it\u00e4. Kokeilin my\u00f6s sukkapuikkoa, mutta se oli liian liukaspintainen, puinen tikku toimi paremmin. Lankana k\u00e4ytin sek\u00e4 varastostani l\u00f6ytyneit\u00e4 metallilankoja sek\u00e4 ohuen ohutta kukkasidontalankaa. Halusin tehd\u00e4 kukista melko pieni\u00e4 ja mahdollisimman herkki\u00e4, sill\u00e4 olen pienen piiperryksen yst\u00e4v\u00e4. Lis\u00e4ksi pikkuruisiin silmukoihin kynsilakka on helpompi levitt\u00e4\u00e4. T\u00e4m\u00e4 on v\u00e4h\u00e4n kuin taikuutta, sill\u00e4 lakka tuntuu pysyv\u00e4n paikoillaan silmukan keskell\u00e4 v\u00e4h\u00e4n mystisesti. Oikeasti kyse on samanlaisesta pintaj\u00e4nnityksest\u00e4, joka saa saippuakuplat pysym\u00e4\u00e4n muodossaan. Erotuksena saippuakuplaan, n\u00e4m\u00e4 “kuplat” kuivuvat ja kovettuvat paikoilleen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

K\u00e4ytt\u00e4m\u00e4ll\u00e4 hohtavia helmi\u00e4islakkoja, ter\u00e4lehtiin ja lehdyk\u00f6ihin saa hohtavan pinnan. Mattalakoilla lopputulos on matta. Glitterlakalla kukkiin sai omanlaista v\u00e4lkett\u00e4, mutta ep\u00e4tasainen glitterlakka on vaikeampi saada pysym\u00e4\u00e4n rinkulassa valumatta. Pikkuruisiin kukkiin ja lehtiin riitt\u00e4\u00e4 1-2 kerrosta kynsilakkaa (anna kuivua kunnolla jokaisen kerroksen j\u00e4lkeen). Mit\u00e4 suurempi ter\u00e4lehti on, sit\u00e4 enemm\u00e4n lakkaa tarvitaan ja isompiin lehtiin pelkk\u00e4 kynsilakka ei riit\u00e4 vaan lehti pit\u00e4\u00e4 ensin t\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 liimalla, antaa sen kuivua ja kynsilakka levitet\u00e4\u00e4n molemmin puolin sen p\u00e4\u00e4lle. Lopuksi isommat lehdet saattaa viel\u00e4 joutua sivelem\u00e4\u00e4n kertaalleen kynsilakan pikakuivattajalla tai liimalakalla, sill\u00e4 ilmeisesti liiman p\u00e4\u00e4lle levitetty lakka j\u00e4\u00e4 hiukan tahmaiseksi. <\/p>\n\n\n

It’s always fun to me to try new handcrafting techniques and ideas. attribute which I inherited from my Mum. On Instagram I have every now and then encountered tiny metal wire flowers with sheen petals. I was determined to find out how they are made. To my huge surprise they were made with nailpolish! There seems to be several different methods to do them, depending for what purpose and how longlasting you want them to be. As I often do, I didn’t buy anything new for this, but used old materials which I happened to have at hand. Thin metal crafting wire, leftover nailpolish, roundnose pliers, wirecutters, piece of styrofoam and knitting needle. Let’s do it! Notice that dried stiff nailpolish won’t work on this, it has to be runny. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the help of wooden cuticle stick and pliers I created tiny little flowers and leaves. I also tried knitting needle, but it was too slippy on surface. Wooden stick was better and had little bit of friction, Wire was some old handcrafting wire I had and thin flower wire. I wanted to make quite small delicate flowers, that’s my vibe. It was also easier to spread the nailvarnish on small wire loops rather than large. It’s little bit like magic, varnish seems to stay almost mystically in the middle of the wire loop. In reality it’s just the surface tension, the same way than soap bubbles keep the shape. Difference to the soap bubbles, these “bubbles” dry and harden in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By using shimmering nailvarnish you can create lively looking flowers. Matte varnish gives matte result. Glitter varnish gives flowers some festive shine, however uneven glitter makes it more difficult to get it stay on the loops without dripping. Small flowers and leaves take 1-2 layers of varnish (allow to dry properly between each layer). The larger the petal or leaf, more varnish you need. Much bigger ones won’t work with varnish alone, you first need to fill the loop with glue, allow that to dry and then cover it with varnish on both sides. For finishing the flowers you might have to spread one layer of nailpolish dryer or Mod Podge, because apparently ontop of the glue, varnish doesn’t dry properly but leaves a bit sticky surface.<\/p>\n\n\n

Kieputin metallilankaa puutikun ymp\u00e4ri ja sen j\u00e4lkeen muotoilin ter\u00e4lehdet ja lehdet py\u00f6r\u00f6pihtien avulla. \/
I twisted the metal wire around the wooden stick and then shaped the petals and leaves with round-nose pliers. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Maalasin kynsilakalla lehdet ja ter\u00e4lehdet. Lehtien pit\u00e4\u00e4 olla riitt\u00e4v\u00e4n pieni\u00e4 jotta kynsilakan oma sivellin peitt\u00e4\u00e4 kutakuinkin koko lehden ja muodostaa siten “kuplan” rinkulan keskelle. Jos kuplaa ei muodostu, kokeile toiselta puolen tai eri suunnassa. \/
I painted the petals and leaves with nail varnish. All rings have to be small enough so that the nail varnish brush covers pretty much the whole leaf, creating a “bubble” in the middle of the ring. If the bubble is not forming, try from the other side of the leaf or from different angle. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Valmiita kukkia. Maalasin n\u00e4m\u00e4 kahteen tai kolmeen kertaan. Toisella ja kolmannella kerralla pit\u00e4\u00e4 olla nopea sill\u00e4 uusi kerros pehment\u00e4\u00e4 aiemmat kerrokset ja silloin on vaarana ett\u00e4 kupla puhkeaa. \/
Finished flowers. I painted these twice or three times. Second and third time you have to be really fast, because new layer will soften the previous layers and then there is a risk of the bubble breaking. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Yhdistin kultaiset kukat kolmeksi oksaksi ja istutin ne pullonkorkkiin. T\u00e4ysin hy\u00f6dyt\u00f6n, mutta niin s\u00f6p\u00f6 koriste. \/
I combined golden flowers into three branches and set them i<\/em>nto a cork. Totally useless, but such a cute decoration. <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

N\u00e4m\u00e4 n\u00f6k\u00f6tt\u00e4v\u00e4t nyt t\u00e4ss\u00e4 lasikuvussa t\u00e4m\u00e4n joulun. Ei t\u00e4m\u00e4 tekniikka ehk\u00e4 jatkuvaan k\u00e4ytt\u00f6\u00f6n itselleni j\u00e4\u00e4, mutta tulipahan testattua. \/
These flowers are going to stay in the glass dome for this Holiday season. I probably won’t keep this technique in my regular repertoire, but atleast I have now tested it.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
