To read the precautions and tips related to Italian Craft Dough
Tips and Tricks
Things to Remember
* Use a non-stick pan or aluminium utensil for cooking.
* Use flat wooden spoon.
* First cook on medium heat, when the mixture starts to cook, slow it down.
* Keep yourself away from its steam when the dough is cooked or cooking; its steam can cause pain and burning in eyes.
* When kneading the hot dough, use a towel over the bag of dough to protect hands from burning.
* After kneading the dough, open up the plastic bag to let go the steam completely. If you don't, then dough will become too sticky and wet, in short it will be ruined.
* When completely cooled, knead the dough in small batches with fingers.
* Mix in white poster colour after one day.
* Colours can be mixed the same day after mixing the white colour.
* Use dough after one day of colour-mixing to get good results.
* Keep the dough air-tight in a plastic bag.
* Lemon juice can be replaced with white vinegar.
* Glycerine can be replaced with cooking oil or baby oil.
* Cold cream can be used instead of petroleum jelly but its not as greasy as the latter and you will have to use it more than petroleum jelly.
Things to remember before making items
* The ICD shrinks after drying, so make about 20% bigger items because after drying they will become small in size.
* The colors mixed in the dough must be a little lighter than required, because after drying, their color will darken.
* Your nails should be cut small or they will cut out the small petals or can leave impressions on flowers.
* Grease the ICD stick with petroleum jelly before using.
* Grease the blades of scissors carefully before cutting petals.
* Small flowers and leaves dry overnight.
* Roses, thick flowers and jewelry takes maximum 24 hours to dry completely.
* Toothpicks, darning needle or sewing needles can be used to give impressions on small flowers and leaves.
Making flowers on Wires - Roses
* First make central bud.
* Cut out wire of desired length plus half inch more. Apply some glue on its one end.
* Insert the glued-end into the bud from the bottom side in the middle passing about half the length of bud.
* Place bud on a piece of sponge/foam to dry.
* When the bud dries completely, then make three small petals and stick them to bud with the help of glue.
* Now you can wait to dry them too or make five large petals and glue them too.
* Put the rose straight in a vase or in a bottle to dry completely.
For Other Flowers
* Make the central part of flower first and insert wire into them just like for rose and let them dry.
* Join the petals to the central part using glue.
* Let the flowers dry upside-down on sponge/foam.

materials:
tiles, 2 similar greetings(with out any glitters),duco(brand)lacquer,sheenlac(brand)thinner,fevicol, water,2 flat brush1"(one for lacquer and other for fevicol)000brush , water colour, oil paint just one colour to match ur card, white cloth, belan, chalk powder,rag cloth,turpentine
method:
1)clean tiles
2)mix fevicol with water just good enought to paint
3)mix lacquer with thinner1:2( too much of thinner will give net effect,too much of lacquer will give foggy effect)
4)apply horizontally lacquer on back of one of the cards and let it dry then apply vertically and let it dry then repeat the same in the front.
5) now take the other card apply horrizontally and vertically lacquer just in the front and let it dry.
6)now tear the edges of this card upwards (unevenly)so that u can c thin white paper.
7)apply fevicol mixture on the back of this card
8)stick this card on tiles and cover it with white wet cloth(dip the cloth in water and squeeze the water completely) and roll it with belan from inside to towards the edges. This remove ant air locked inbetween.
9)now using rag cloth dipped in turpentine appaly oil paint on the white edges in circular motion. dont worry id it gets inside ur picture as it can be wiped immediately with white cloth.
10)now make dough with chalk powder fevicol .
11)cut the card picture parts that u want to have embossed effect and with some small blunt tool (like pensil back)shape it by slightly pressing from inside to towards the edge . it will curve the parts
12) now apply fevicol on this and the place on which this will be stuck . and place a small dough and stick the small part.(HOPE U CAN UNDERSTAND .OH! TRYING BY BEST TO EXPLAIN THRU WRITING)it will be difficult to stick first but will get to know the tech .
13) complete all the parts . and now using 00 brush and water colour paint the edges of the stuck part to match with its surrounding( so that u cant see the cut and stuck place)
14)now apply lacquer horizontally let it dry and then vertically . repeat this 2 more time(horizontal and vertical painitng)
15) now apply fevicol mixture horizontally let dry then vertically 2 times
16) again repeat step 14 and 15 5 times. this really makes the stuck figure merged with base card
17)finish it of with the final lacquer and clean the edges.
18) SORRY GIRLZ FORGOT TO MENTION ABT NAIL POLISH REMOVER AND EAR BUD...
when u paint lacquer sometimes by mistake we might paint it on tiles too so to remove that use ear bud dipped in nail polish remover.
HOPE U CAN UNDERSTAND.PLZ WRITE UR COMMENTS. have a look at picture in my album so that u might get the idea of what i am telling.
BTW DID ANY OF U TRY THE WATER FOUNTAIN?
lacquer u get in hardware shop.its used by carpenters and painters to add gloss to their finish.
.
.
.
lacqure is applied on card thats stuck on tile because when u use oilpaint to colour the white edges , if by mistake the colour gets into our picture it can be wipped off.
on the card thats going to be cut because when shaping it will not tear the card and make it easy to shape
