But our today's article for those who are just beginning their acquaintance with such material as mastic. Here we will tell and show the mechanism for creating one of the simplest ornaments from mastic.

Simple decoration for a cake of mastic with your own hands. A master class for beginners.

For such a simple flower we will need: white mastic, pink mastic, pink dye, glass, foil, scissors, tweezers, rolling pin, edible beads, ready-made stamens, a shape for carving in the form of a flower or a stencil and a knife, brushes, pieces of foam often pack a technique), and a modeling stick or any elongated object with a rounded edge, for example a handle.

On a glass on top we put a piece of foil and a little bend inward.

Mastic is rolled into a thin layer and from the pink mastic we cut out the bloom. If you do not have a shape, do it with a knife or scissors using a stencil. Now, with a round edge tool, we pass along the edge of the petals, thinning them, so they become slightly wavy.

"We place" the workpiece on a glass, and lift the petals, laying under them pieces of foam. You can also use pieces of foil by rolling balls out of it.

In the same way, we cut out a little flower of white mastic.

You can cover it with pearlescent shine, also make wavy edges and attach to the first pink workpiece, just blurring the joint with water. Under the petals, too, substitute substrates.

Now cut out a very small pink flower and do all the same manipulations as with the previous ones.

From a white mastic we roll a small ball and flatten it lightly, to make a detail similar to a tablet. Cover it with water and sprinkle with beads, fasten in the center of our flower, also with the help of water.

Now with the help of tweezers we insert the stamens into the center of the flower. They can be bought already ready or made from the line itself, glue PVA and paint.

On the brush, type a little pink dye and dust the center. We let the flower dry in this position for at least a day, and then we transfer it to the cake.
