Sprig of magnolia

Spring! How much of this word. Everyone is waiting for dry asphalt, warm and fragrant breeze, evening walks in the park with the singing of birds and bright colors in the flower beds. Indeed, many people love this time of year precisely for the flowers. Delicate snowdrops, delicate tulips and majestic daffodils. But flowers can be not only on the earth. Trees also begin to transform and bloom. An unusually beautiful tree is magnolia. Her flowers are large and attract the eye with the structure of a bud. Today you will learn how to make a sprig of magnolia from modeling dough.
To work you need the following materials:
- a twig from a tree (better than a pear, it is more textured and with large buds);
- dough for sculpting white, pink and green colors.
The work will be done from modeling dough. This material is very high quality and it is pleasant to work with it. And when hardening, it keeps its shape perfectly. So get started! Take the white dough and divide it into three parts. Do the same manipulation with a pink slice.
Then each piece of dough should be divided into 9 equal parts. Form balls from them.
For one magnolia flower, take 9 balls of pink shade and the same amount of white.
One petal is done like this: connect the pink and white blanks together so that one oval is two-tone. The diameter of the workpiece is 2 cm.
A total of 9 petals.
Proceed to form a flower. Take one piece and twist into a tube - this is the middle.
Attach two petals around this blank. They should be parallel to each other.
Attach two more blanks to the bud in those places where there are gaps.
And the remaining four petals must be fixed at the bottom of the flower. It turns out that the bud opened.
When working, you need to remember that the outside of the petal is pink in color, and the inside is white.
These are the three buds of magnolia should come out.
Leave the flowers overnight near a heat source (battery) so that they dry out and become stronger. If you attach the buds to the branch at this stage, then the petals are deformed. When the buds become dry, you can stick them to a twig from a tree.
It remains only to form unopened buds from the green dough. To do this, fashion small ovals and fix them on free kidneys. This is what a finished twig of magnolia looks like.
Leaves do not need to be done, because they grow on a tree after the flowering period ends. Instead of dough, you can use plasticine, cold porcelain or any other material.
