The shape and color can be arbitrary, and you can make your favorite floral art at will. The first step is to prepare tools: pliers, scissors, knives, sleeves and other tools. Step 2, prepare raw materials: including special resin (transparent and various colors), gold and silver thread, colored adhesive tape, colored powder, pearl powder and some auxiliary materials, such as flower cores and flower stems. The third step: modeling: firstly, the gold or silver thread is bent into the shape of petals and leaves one by one with the help of a sleeve, and several large petals and several small petals are made according to different levels of a flower until the calyx, large and small leaves and unopened small buds match after the flower. The basic outline of these crystal flowers must be prepared first (of course, you can also make an outline and touch it. Step 4: Dip in the liquid: put the prepared petals of gold and silver thread into the resin prepared in advance, take them out when the petals are covered with the solution, and let them stand for a few minutes to dry, so that a crystal-clear petal or leaf is ready. In this step, you can sprinkle a little pearl powder or colored powder when the solution is not completely dried according to your own needs, so as to increase the crystal flower's crystal clear or colorful feeling and create a novel visual effect. Step 5, combination: combine the prepared petals into a flower shape, from small petals to large petals to calyx, wrap them together and fix them with colored tape layer by layer, then add the flower core, connect the stems, add the leaves, and wrap them neatly from top to bottom with the same color tape, and a crystal flower will be made. Supply Crystal Flower Raw Materials The headquarters of Hebei One Plus One Handicraft Workshop has long-term supply of crystal flower raw materials, including transparent and colored flower making liquid, setting liquid, gold wire, silver wire, various iron wires, flower stems, colored rubber strips, flower cores, pearl powder and colorful powder.

(The market price can be directly compared) The capacity of flower making liquid is 150ml, 250ml, 500ml, 1000ml, and * * has 16 colors, which can be selected as appropriate. Crystal Flower joined 1 1,000 yuan to teach crystal flower production technology, and provided all-round business support such as raw materials, production tools and teaching CD materials for the first time. Attachment: crystal flower production process (taking crystal rose as an example) 1. 1 26# white iron wire, bypassing the No.6 color tube 1 circle, and winding it for 3 times at the intersection of the iron wire to fix it. 2. Take out the wire from the color tube, pinch the wire with your thumb and forefinger, bend the wire into a curve, and then shape it into a flower shape and a leaf shape. 3. Cut two 28# white iron wires as the support of the petals, and the 28# iron wire can be directly wound on the 26# iron wire at the front end of the petals under the support and fixed. 4. Separate the two brackets evenly and fix them around the petals 1 time. 5. Cut off the extra thread. 6. Pull the brackets on the petals back to the concave shape (petals *** 15, two of which do not need brackets). (This picture is a side view) 7. Flower arrangement is to fix 1 26# iron wire around the 5th color tube and then rub the iron wire (5 receptacles * * *). 8. Then use pliers to clip out the teeth. 9. After finding the vertex position of the socket, shape the socket. 10. Bypass 1 26# iron wire to shape rose leaves, add 1 28# iron wire as a bracket, and cut off the redundant thread ends. 1 1. Cover the flower-shaped empty frame formed by iron wire with crystal glue liquid. Please refer to the method of extracting glue (the method of dipping crystal glue). After 20 minutes, crystal glue is dry and the flowers can be assembled. 12. The combination method of roses is as follows: roll the inner petal 1 (that is, two small pieces without upper bracket) inward into a flower heart, then add the second inner petal from the opposite side and roll it tightly. 13. Put the 3rd, 4th and 5th petals together at the bottom of the figure 12, and don't forget that the petals at the top of the rose should be even. 14. Add 4 petals around the base of Figure 13, and the petals can be slightly opened. 15. The last six petals are combined around the base of Figure 14, and the petals are slightly opened again. 16. Add 5 receptacles (evenly distributed at the bottom of the flower). 17. Combine the leaves in groups of 3, and the middle leaves are relatively long, about 3-4 cm long. The petiole is about 4-5 cm long, and it is wrapped and fixed with special green tape for floral art 18. Add 0.5 cm thick stems under the flowers, and then wrap them with green tape. Add the first group of leaves about 8- 10 cm from the flower, and then add the second group of leaves about 7- 10 cm from the flower. 19. Finished crystal rose.

Dried flowers, artificial flowers and fruits are the ideal realm that modern people want to have even in the office and at home. Indeed, flowers not only give people pleasure, but also can sober up, reduce stress, improve work efficiency and reduce mistakes. It's a pity that "flowers don't bloom for a hundred days", most flowers can only bloom for a few days and then fade, while the time for emitting fragrance is shorter, so dried flowers and fake flowers appear. Generally speaking, dried flowers are not only dried flowers, but also many leaves, buds, fruits, branches, roots, grass, shells and so on. It is not easy to deform after drying. These "specimens", which were originally found only in museums, have now entered every family and become fashionable. Some plant tissues still have fragrance after drying, which is a rare "dried flower" variety, but most of them have weak or poor odor, so "perfuming" should be considered at this time. Generally, dried flowers should be perfumed with "compound fragrance" or "fantasy fragrance", not with a single fragrance, and the fragrance type should be selected according to the characteristics of "dried flowers". For example, pine needles, cypress leaves, pine cones (tree buds of gymnosperms such as Pinus massoniana, juniper and Chinese fir), Selaginella, ferns, centipedes and Chinese fir shavings. It is best to use "pine flowers" or "forest incense". Camellia oleifera, Ziziphus jujuba seed, sunflower seed, lotus and equisetum suggest "Lily of the valley" or "Huaguoshan", while seashells, seaweed and Casuarina suggest "coast" or "dragon saliva" ... Artificial flowers and fruits are generally made of cloth (made of various synthetic fibers), paper, plastic and wax, and some of them can be sprayed after production. Most of them use a single fragrance (floral, woody, fragrant, animal, melon, etc.). ), such as jasmine, rose, lily, orchid, chrysanthemum, lotus, pine, cypress, apple, peach, strawberry, litchi, longan, banana, lemon, citrus, pineapple, watermelon, melon, musk and so on. Now the production technology has reached its peak. There are also some artificial melons and fruits, which imitate natural products with no fragrance or weak fragrance, such as camellia, peony, hibiscus, roselle, bamboo and Christmas tree. And you can also add light and long-lasting flavors to make buyers like it better.
