...romantic plaster rose sculpture

 

 

...hello dear hearts ~ 

i am delighted that you have stopped by for a visit!

today's post is a tutorial

~ romantic plaster rose sculpture ~

 

 

 

ooohhhh!!

~ purrrttty~

 

if you would like to make one too,

here is the list of your supplies

for a 20"x30" canvas board:

 

* approx. 36 pretty paper roses

mine are from this shop: ~Love Embellished~

to which you have sprayed over with white spray paint

this step is important

because it will give you a more sturdy rose shape

when you apply the plaster.

* a 20"x30" canvas wrapped board

* plaster of paris

* white gesso paint

* large craft paint brush

* glue gun/glue sticks

* spray glue

* clear glass glitter

 

ready?

 

 

 

 

begin by arranging your spray painted paper roses

onto the canvas board.

 

 

 

 

play with them until you are pleased with the look

and your board is covered.

 

 

 

 

now, hot glue them into place like so.

 

 

 

 

for the plaster of paris - mix according to package

i used approximately 2 cups

and thinned it down to like a melted milkshake consistency :)

 

 

 

 

now, simply start painting your paper roses.

 covering each one in the plaster of paris mixture.

 

 

 

 

buy the time you are finished covering them in the plaster,

start over, painting on the gesso paint until all roses are covered.

 

 

 

 

let dry flat, overnight.

 

puuuurrrtty!

 

 

 

 

once completely dried,

carefully take outside to spray on the spray glue.

evenly coat with glue

then sprinkle on your clear glass glitter for a subtle sparkle!

 

 

 

 

let dry before moving

 

 

 

 

and your romantic plaster rose sculpture is finished!

 

i recommend that you check to make sure

your canvas board has picture hooks on it.

not all of them come with them,

 so add them BEFORE your plaster work.

 

 

 

 

hang, and step back to look at your ~
