love you you you hello and welcome to the flower Academytutorial in this video we will create themistletoe plant the mistletoe is recognized by smoooooth edged over evergreen leaves born in peers along their woody stem and the waxy white berries in denseclusters of two
the mistletoe was seen as arepresentation of divine male essence thus Romans fertility and vitality and this may have led to a custom of kissingunder the mistletoe plant during the Christmas season a custom that was apparently very popular at thattime since we heard that the mistletoe tree is in danger of disappearing over thenext years we decided to include it in thistutorial and then you can make your own and happyas many as you want for the pro ect we will need occur sending paper and wire number
or gauge a teardrop shape cutter you will need your phone pad and making needle and arbol tools use green clay that posed role tosetting number four in the past the machine don't use at cleaner said take or it will be very difficult to insertthe wire into it cut the amount of leaves he will need obviously we will need morethan two but they will be enough for thedemonstration we will need the green clay then snake to cover our wire this will be the leaf stem insert the snake onto the wire and roll it on your hand just in it out or you can do that carefully on europesurface we don't need the whole length we need one edge to be attached to theleaf and the other edge will be attach to thestem next is working relief on the phone packed play some cornstarch to prevent the clay from sticking to your ball tool we want to then out the leaf and make it a bit longer leave the edge take so it will be easier to insert thewire later even if you have a differentcutter you can stretch the clay a bit two feet the shape as you can see we have different cutters you can use either but make sure that your leafresembles the one in nature place your ball tool half on the clay and harsh on the phoneplant you want to them out the edges if youwork on the clay you will get an indent andyou don't actually then out the petal or leaf when your leaf is ready we can insertthe wire from the tip thinning out this damn a bit inserted into the leaf work gently while inserting your wire into the leaf the clay is thin and it may tear go about halfway or a bit more you can hold your leaf with your fingerand thumb making sure the wire is slowly insertedinto the clay without tearing it you sick or sendingpaper for checks during your leaves pressedlightly so it will not stick now use the knitting needle to pressdown the center of the leaf all the way to the tip be careful not to expose the wire inside if your clay just break or terabit you can aunt dot of clay place it and then smooth it out with a knitting needle tofix it now no leaf is totally flat so give it somevolume you can bend it a bit the leaves are arranged in twos so you're going tohave to them and then they're connected stem then added to another stem which is alsoconnected to two and so forth the next step is creating are mistletoe fruits or berries made oftranslucent clay later we will give them pearl accent you can use translucent or pearl clay their size is about a pea-sized pea sized ball they should be relevant to the size ofyour leaves their sizes about a third of your leaf size to create thefruits you will need number or gauge wire create a hook a loop hook we do a round nose pliers the hook should be open debate you don't want to close it all the way to the end the fruit or the very will be hand on it use a needle tool to pre-drill a whole this will prevent the ball from distortingits shape all on the needle to and keeping it's nice rounded shape then insert the wire through the whole we created and pull itdown so that the hook is attached well we don't want to clearly see it but it will not disappear completely we willadd something on top of the berry for thetop part on the berries use a tiny piece of theother clay make around ball and flatten it a bit it to the top of the ball we want to hide the top area of the wire this is where the hook was inserted now it looks as if it is not centered butthis is not very important because they will be connected to the stems now use your tweezers for the next step pinching the yellowtop you don't have to do this step but it will look much more realistic we will create
this yellow area after with some just green or a tiny dot of acrylic paint pinching three times all around that tiny yellow ball to Pearl your ballfruits we can paint them with pearl acrylicpaints or Wade pearl powder this one forexample is pearl I shadow the balls are on cured so the powder sticks better to and cured clay use a soft brush and dusted all around leaving the yellow top area understood when finished you can add pearl or white stripes using a very thin brush repeat this three to five times with each fruit use a small bowl tall and at a tiny dot of black acrylic paint on the top of your fruit bake your fruits and leaves before wecan continue to the next step now we want to assemble all themistletoe parts starting from the fruits we will create three batches a fruits rap each of you with floral tape to cover its wire we will use Epicor wire number gauge pre interleaved with the same floraltape we are about to use with our fruits wewill attach to the wire the first three fruits when they're ready wrapped them with floral tape the floraltape is an adhesive floral tape you have topull it to extract its clue you can add more of these fruits andkeep wrapping them with your floral tape to secure them inplace make two more sets these and then we cancontinue so the clusters already now we want to attach are leaves to the stems we will need to leaves on each stem and then we willattach them together we need to shorten them a letter theyare a bit longer they should be attached at this distance so we will cut the baked clay carefully with a scalpel make sure you're not cutting the wire make cut on all sides and detach the baked clay if this happens any relief is detaching its wire you can add some glue and placed thewire back in place this is white plastic low now we were certain the second one when the first to leave so ready take apiece a floral tape pool to extract the clue and place on the wrapped wire on theclay and work your way down covering the fake green wire used tweezers or your fingers carefully to arrange your mistletoe leaves repeat the steps you should have quite afew couples of these they can be opened or more closed and then we can move on to connecting are leaves and fruits wewill attach are fruits to the leaves by placing them a bit higher on the leaf stem usually they are lower but we want to createsomething you can use at home the stem bit and place your fruits attack first cluster with floral tape and thenattach the second pair of leaves cure with floral tape and and the third pair if you fly tears don't worry taken the strap andcontinue where you stopped you could have alonger stem but it's up to you depending on what youare about to do with the mistletoe plant do the same with the other leaves and fruits tocreate a second set the final step is to attach all branches together once again useyour floral tape as an adhesive we will tie a ribbon here later so this is a temporary solutionfor attaching all three branches together when you'refinished make sure all the leaves are on thecorrect direction and you can and a red rayburn that's it you finished you can use your beautiful mistletoeplant hand in your home or give it is a gift to your loved ones thank you very muchfor watching and we'll see you in the next videoslove you you Adams
