WORKROOM TECHNIQUE


18


Carefully remove the mould from the hot plate and place them on a heat- resistant surface.


19


Insert one petal into the concave side of the mould.


20


Place the converse part of the mould on top.


21


Use a pressing machine to press both parts of the mould tightly onto each other. If you are not using a pressing machine, put enough weight on the closed mould to get a crisply embossed petal.


22 Remove the petal from the mould.


23


Repeat Steps 17 till 22 for the petals of both fabrics.


24


Apply a small amount of craft glue using the pinky finger to the inside of the first petal (lighter coloured organza).


25


Glue the second petal (darker coloured silk habotai) to the first one with the right sides together.


TIP: Use the same finger each time to apply the glue to reduce transfer.


26


Apply glue to the centre and place the third petal (organza) with the right side up.
