Composition of colored salt and artificial flowers

To decorate your home with an original composition, you don’t have to look for it in the store. Decor, created with your own hands, will definitely fill your home with warmth and comfort.
Materials that will be required during the work process:
- transparent vase;
- colored chalk;
- fine salt;
- grater;
- glue gun;
- artificial flowers;
- bugs for decoration.
Prepare crayons and a vase. Its surface must be clean and dry.

Grate the chalk on a fine grater. The powder should not contain large particles.

Mix the salt and crayon powder in separate containers. Depending on the size of the vase, determine the number of tablespoons of salt for each layer so that they are the same in height.
Making colored salt with chalk is quick and convenient, but the color is not very rich. If you want to get bright colors, try painting the salt with gouache. It will take a little longer, but the colors will be richer.
First, take five tablespoons of salt and add 7 ml of gouache, a little water and mix thoroughly. The color should be uniform.Then place the salt on thick paper and dry. To speed up this process, salt can be placed in the oven.
If you wish, you can mix different colors and get unusual shades of paint.
If your salt is coarse, then it must be crushed. Place in a bag and carefully go over it with a rolling pin.

Now fill the bottom and add a second layer. You need to pour it with a spoon, first from the edges and then in the center.
To achieve the effect of “interweaving” the layers, use a cardboard funnel to fill the container.

Alternate colors and make sure the layers are the same. To make them wavy, add a little more colored salt on one side. And when you cover everything with the next portion of salt, the position of the previous layer will be fixed.
While working, try not to tilt or shake the container, otherwise the layers will mix and the boundaries between them will become unclear.
This is what a filled pot looks like.

Prepare artificial flowers. Measure the desired height and cut off the unnecessary part.

In order for the flowers to stick well to the base, you need to fix the surface above the salt with hot glue. First, use hot glue to outline the rim of the vase. This must be done quickly, otherwise the glue will cool and not stick.

Then apply glue in a circle and make sure that there are no gaps between the glue strips.

In this case, the flowers were very tall and did not harmonize with the vase. Therefore, the stem of the flower is glued to the floral wire. This is how we achieved the desired height of the stem.

We begin to form the composition from the center. Bend the end of the wire to form a loop and secure the three flowers with hot glue.

Next, gradually glue the flowers, alternating them by size and spruce according to color
To disguise the base of the flowers, decorate it with green sisal. Secure the ends with glue.
