I'm a big fan of ornaments inside containers of all kinds, that are inside water, oils in glass balls where they also put frosting or glitter. That's why I wanted to recreate a version with the materials I have available at home.
I thought it was a good idea to make a thermoformed rose, since the undulations on the leaves could give it a better look, the ideal would have been to use another color of fomi but it would be something very typical, so I thought of coloring the edges of the petals with a wax crayon, this way we could make it a little more the imitation of a real rose.
The plastic container is something that makes me laugh a lot, because they are one of those normal ones that we find in supermarkets, I loved its perfect transparency and finishes, there were several models but at that time I could not buy all I wanted, this one in particular, I thought it was perfect to recreate the eternal rose. The good thing about the fact that it is inside the container is that the white flower will not get dirty with dust.
Soy muy fan de adornos dentro de recipientes de todo tipo, que est茅n dentro de agua, aceites en bolas de cristal donde tambi茅n le ponen escarcha o purpurina. Por eso quise recrear una versi贸n con los materiales que tengo disponibles en casa.
Me pareci贸 buena idea hacer una rosa termoformada, ya que las ondulaciones en las hojas podr铆a darle mayor realce, lo ideal ser铆a haber usado otro color de fomi pero ser铆a algo muy t铆pico, as铆 que me ingeni茅 en darle coloraci贸n a los bordes de los p茅talos con un crey贸n de cera, de esta manera podr铆amos hacerla un poco m谩s la imitaci贸n de una rosa real.
El recipiente de pl谩stico es algo que me causa mucha risa, pues son de esos normales que encontramos en los supermercados, me encant贸 su perfecta transparencia y acabados, hab铆an varios modelos pero en ese momento no pude comprar todos los que quise, este en particular, me pareci贸 perfecto para recrear la rosa eterna. Lo bueno de que est茅 dentro del recipiente adem谩s es que la flor blanca no va a ensuciarse con el polvo.

To make the flower, you can choose the color of fomi that you like, in my case I used white fomi.
Cut out the shape of a petal and then use it as a mold for the rest. You have to make two different sizes, a small one for the petals in the center and then larger ones for the petals on the outside.
Para hacer la flor, puedes elegir el color de fomi que m谩s te guste, en mi caso yo us茅 fomi de color blanco.
Recorta la forma de un p茅talo y luego lo usas de molde para el resto. Tienes que hacer dos tama帽os distintos, uno peque帽o que son para los p茅talos del centro y luego unos m谩s grandes para los p茅talos de afuera.
I preferred to use wax crayons so as not to stain the white fomi or my hands. With the crayon border each petal and color a little in the center.
Prefer铆 usar creyones de cera para no manchar el fomi blanco ni mancharme las manos. Con el crey贸n bordea cada p茅talo y colorea un poco el centro.
With the iron at a warm temperature and very careful not to burn yourself, place each petal on it for a few seconds, then shape it with your fingers.
Reserve one petal without thermoforming, this same petal is the one that will be the center of the flower.
Begin to assemble the flower, first with the inner petal that must be glued by rolling it on itself, then glue each of the petals in an intercalary way covering spaces, until the flower is assembled and finished.
You must take care that your flower is not bigger than your container.
Con la plancha a una temperatura tibia y con mucho cuidado de no quemarte, coloca cada p茅talo en ella por unos segundos, luego das forma con tus dedos.
Reserva un p茅talo sin termoformar, este mismo p茅talo es el que ser谩 el centro de la flor.
Comienza a armar la flor, primero con el p茅talo interno al que se debe pegar enroll谩ndolo sobre s铆, seguidamente ve pegando cada uno de los p茅talos de forma intercalada cubriendo espacios, hasta armar y culminar la flor.
Debes cuidar que tu flor no quede m谩s grande que tu recipiente.
Cut out the shape of the leaves with the green fomi, with the tip of the scissors make marks to resemble the veins of the leaves.
Glue them on the flower in the same way as the previous one, intercalating and covering the spaces.
It is time to glue the flower on the lid of the container, use the hot silicone very carefully because the heat can melt the material.
Recorta la forma de las hojas con el fomi verde, con la punta de la tijera realiza una marcas para semejar las vetas de las hojas.
Procede a pegarlas en la flor de la misma forma que la anterior, intercalando y cubriendo los espacios.
Es hora de pegar la flor en la tapa del recipiente, utiliza el silic贸n caliente con mucho cuidado pues el calor puede derretir el material.
Carefully insert the polyethylene filling into the plastic container, now cover it, I had no need to apply glue because the container closes perfectly, but in your case if it is necessary to reinforce, apply a little.
Now it's time to decorate the outside of the container.
Use whatever you have available to decorate, I had some ribbons and pearl beads that will work well.
I made some ribbons to place on top of the container and glued them on.
I then bordered the container with red ribbon and then pearl runner.
Introduce con cuidado el relleno de polietileno en el recipiente de pl谩stico, ahora tapa el mismo, no tuve necesidad de aplicar pegamento pues el recipiente cierra perfectamente, pero en tu caso si es necesario reforzar, aplica un poco.
Es hora de decorar la parte externa del recipiente.
Utiliza lo que tengas disponible para decorar, yo ten铆a unas cintas y perla corrida que funcionar谩n bien.
Hice unos lacitos para colocarlos sobre el recipiente y los pegu茅.
Luego borde茅 el recipiente con cinta roja y seguidamente perla corrida.
To cover some ties, I made some bows and placed them on the sides, with this we are done.
I hope you like it and I encourage you to do it, it's fun.
What did you think?
Para cubrir algunos empates, hice unos lacitos y los coloqu茅 a los lados, con esto hemos terminado.
Espero que te guste y te animes hacerlo, es divertido.
