Video #739: It took about 4 hours to make. but finishing a project like this definitely gives you something to feel proud of. More Info: Polymer Clay Tutor.\r

Todays video features a Show & Tell of this realistic miniature Enchanted Rose I made from Polymer Clay.\r
\r
It was inspired by the new Beauty and the Beast Movie coming out in March 2017.\r
\r
Disney is doing a live ion version of Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson as Belle. Emma is the ress that played Hermine in the Harry Potter Movies.\r
\r
I got really excited when I saw the trailer (posted below). it looks like its going to be a beautiful .\r
\r
My kids watched the original animated version lots when they were little, so I know the story well. \r
\r
You may already know that Im not really a Princess-y type of girl, but I really loved Belle as a charer. She always had her head in the clouds (in books ually) and was brave, kind and stood up to the Beast. I admired her for all those things.\r
\r
After finding some neat miniature bell jar pendants from Tim Holtz in my Michaels store, I thought it would be super fun to see if I could make a really tiny, realistic looking Enchanted Rose to put inside.\r
\r
There are some polymer clay Enchanted Roses showing up on Etsy and other web sites, but the ones Ive seen are much too clunky looking (imo). I really wanted to see if I could make my rose look real. which is tricky to do in a miniature scale.\r
\r
It turned out to be WAY harder than I expected. Rose petals are pretty thin and dainty when they are full size. so they have to be ultra thin to get them to look real in miniature.\r
\r
In the video I explained the process of how the rose was created, along with a description of the supplies used. I havent decided if I will do a full tutorial yet, just because it is such a tricky project to make. However, if there is enough interest, I may consider doing a full .\r
\r
The supplies used were very simple. Just a tiny pinch of Premo White Translucent, some Pinata alcohol inks, liquid clay, a small piece of floral wire, a little glitter and the miniature bell jar.\r
\r
It took me about 3 or 4 hours to make, but I loved the process! Finishing a project like this definitely gives you something to feel proud of.\r
\r
It would make a wonderful tiny prop for a dollhouse, or a charm on a necklace.\r
\r
I plan to make a few more. would like to tweak the colors a bit and would like to make a slightly larger version for the other larger (but still mini) bell jar that I have. It would make a great cake topper for a wedding or bridal shower, because it is the symbol of such a romantic story.\r
\r
I do hope you enjoyed this look at my teeny, tiny, enchanted rose.\r
