In the last tutorial I showed you how to work with Worbla's Finest Art and Worbla's Deco Art.
And it goes even further with Worbla.

Today I want to tell you the theme "coloring".
Worbla can be simple paint, varnish or spray. But what only few people know, you can even color Worbla's Deco Art.

So let's go:


Step 1



What do you need:
- Worbla's Deco Art
- all other basic materials you needed, see ❤ fav.me/d64nj2k
- Acrylic or tinting
- Gloves


Step 2



Follow Step 1 till Step 3 from my first Worbla's Deco Art Tutorial ❤ fav.me/d64nj2k

Is your Worbla will turn transparent, you can knead the acrylic paint (or tinting) into your mold.
The more color you use, the stronger will be the result.

Again it is whitish/hard, immerse it again into hot water and knead it again.


Step 3



Now you can work with your Worbla as before.
Knead it into the desired shape or press it into your silicone model and wait until it is hard.


Step 4



Here you see the results of 3 different Worbla.
- upper cornered stone is Worbla's Finest Art - 2x painted with acrylic
- lower cornered stone is Worbla's Deco Art - 2x painted with acrylic
- triangular stone is Worbla's Deco Art - 1x light colored


Test it out and have fun while crafting.


Tip: Take small bags or cans for the leftovers that are no longer needed at the moment. Should you need to work with the color again, you can use the leftovers too.

Based on 2 tutorials, I have given you a view about Worbla's Finest Art.
Today I want to bring you his little brother closer:

Worbla's DECO Art

For all american friends: it is similar to Friendly Plastic. Nevertheless I want to show you the handling of this material closer.
The Worbla materials work similar. A second tutorial on Worbla's Deco Art will come soon, too.

◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊

Let's start:

Step 1



What do you need:
Worbla's Deco Art
A bowl / pot
a sieve water boiler plus water
(Kitchen) towels (if it drips)
Optional: a silicone mold etc.


Step 2



Fill in the quantity required of Worbla (white beads) in your sieve. Immerse it into the boiled water, which you have previously poured into the bowl.


Step 3



You can see how the white Worbla will turn transparent. After it has completely turned transparent, take it out the sieve and knead it. It should have a smooth surface. Again it is whitish, immerse it again into hot water.


Step 4



Press the Worbla into the mold or bend it freehand. Wait until it gets white to remove it.

For sculpture you can knead it for so long and reheat again until you have your desired shape.


Step 5



Now you can cut or even clean all edges for a final finish.

Welcome to my second Worbla's Finest Art tutorial.
Today I want to show you how you can use Worbla's Finest Art for sculpturs and more.

Two more tutorials about Worbla's will come soon.
And don't forget my first tutorial with varnish and paint it: ❤ fav.me/d5eo48a

◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊

For everyone who don't know where to buy Worbla's Finest Art. You can buy it here:
coscraft www.coscraft.co.uk/
my costume www.mycostumes.de/

◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊

Let's start:

Step 1



What do you need:
- worbla's Finest Art (leftover pieces)
- head dryer
- acrylic paint/ spray (if you want to paint it later)
- silicone mold (for stones etc.)


Step 2



Time for our lovely magic weapon: the ultimate heat pistol!
Heat up your Worbla's until it gets soft and shapeable. Shape it to a ball or something similar.

You have to heat it for a couple of times until you reach this shape.

Tip: it is TOO hot when your worbla's is brighter/white and rough.


Step 3



With silicone mold:
Press the Worbla's ball into the mold or bend it freehand. Wait until it gets cold and solid again.
If you used too much material, remove it from the mold, take away some of the plastic and press it back into the form again.

scultures:
With sculpture tools and the heat gun you can knead/shape your model step by step.


Step 4



Is your Worbla's cooled, you can cut or even clean the edges.


Now you can follow Step 7 till Step 8 from my first Tutorial ❤ fav.me/d5eo48a ❤ , if you need it

After serveral requests, I decided to upload a tutorial for my absinthe corset today. As you can see I used the same pattern for my steampunk corset dress Mademoiselle Émeraude Steam.

This tutorial shows an elaborate corset. Patterns can be found on the Internet at Burda / Simplicity or even online shops about historical patterns and corsets.
Many steps can be used for a simple corsage. The steps are noted with three hearts (❤ ❤ ❤).
A corsage tutorial will come this year too. You can find all information on my FB page.

And now Step by Step „How to make a historic corset":


Step 1 ❤❤❤



What materials do you need:

- Pattern of your choice
- Different fabrics (solid cotton, patterned fabric and as desired: taffeta)
- Thread, needles and scissors
- Eyelets
- Corset bone (more information in Step 9)
- various cords and ribbons


Step 2 ❤❤❤



First you copy the pattern on the fabrics and cut it out.
The corset requires 3 to 4 layers of fabric. We will be using a lot of boning. Consequently the material has to be able to carry a lot of weight. Through the many layers of fabric we prevent holes and rapid wear.

Tip: Draw all the lines and marks on the middle layers of fabric (shown here in white cotton).


Step 3 ❤❤❤



Divide the material into 2 categories:
Corset 1 – outer fabric (patterned fabric) with a center fabric (white cotton)
Corset 2 – inner fabric (taffeta) with a center fabric (white cotton)

Now you can pin each corset and sew all the pieces of fabric together. Here the painted lines on the center fabric (white cotton) will be helpful.
Just a hint: Corsets and some corsages have ALWAYS larger seam allowances.

In the end we have two corsets.




Step 4



In case that you haven't transfered all lines of the pattern onto the fabric - do it now.
Use a simple and long stitch and sew over these lines. No sealing or double step stitch required.

Tip: sew the lines ONLY on the inner fabric. (see Step 8)


Step 5



This step requires more time and attention.
Place the two corsets onto each other.
The seam allowances have to be opened. With an iron it's completely fix.

If the corset fits perfectly (seam to seam), then you can sew the right and left selvage together.
The upper side with the straps and the lower side with the curve remain open.


Step 6 ❤❤❤



To prevent the fabrics from shifting, pin the freshly stitched selvage and sew a small line.

In preparation for the eyelet and lacing, sewn 3 more lines. It is divided into:
Corset bone – eyelet – corset bone

Tip: Put a little piece of corset bone next to you for all lines. So you are sure that everything fits later.


Step 7



As in Step 6, lay all seams together. Sew directly on the seam everything together.
Now nothing can slip.


Step 8



Sew all lines along on the inner fabric. They are now seen on the outer fabric.
You can undo the older seam, if you want to.

Follow this line and sew step by step all so-called bone tunnel. The corset bones will be inserted in there.


Step 9 ❤❤❤



Bones has many variations and are very important for the corset.
Here are 3 types.

From top to bottom:
- fabric bone
- plastic bone
- metal bone

~ The fabric bone is available in any fabric store. But it's no good for a corset or a corsage.
There is a ribbon with a thin plastic / nylon threads.
The boning is weak and bends rather easily. It is also not possible to bend it into specific shapes or lines

~ The plastic bone is very stiff in the contrary to the metal bone. It can cut it with scissors and don't break or warp so easy. For a corsage or a corset it is ideal.
The more bones is taken, the more stiff will be the top. Advantage: it is cheaper and lighter than the metal bones.
Other variations can be found in wood / bamboo.

~ The metal bone is the most used boning. It is available as a strap or as a spiral spring strap (see picture). They are the plastic bone on the qualities very close.
Disadvantage: you need a tin snips, end caps and can be more expensive.
Advantage: they are flexible despite the weight, keep the most traction and remain in the bent form, if necessary.

I prefer plastic and metal. But it depends on the corset and the person who wears is.


Step 10 ❤❤❤



Cut the boning in the right length.
The important thing is: The corset is closed in the end (see the seam on the bottom selvage). To prevent needle breakage, the boning must be shorter than the length of the tunnel. At least one seam allowance above and below.

Do you cut off all bones (and possibly put the caps), then push it into the tunnel.
Close with a seam the bottom and top selvage. So the bones can't slip out.

Tip: Just take your thumb or forefinger as a measure tape.


Step 11 ❤❤❤



Time for a beautiful (useful) decoration Part 1:

Take a beautiful bias tape and sew it on to the fabric. Turn down the bias tape around the edge and sew it again.
Who can sew around the curve or is uncertain, may at any time to sew the bias tape by hand.

Note: Various bias tape tutorial will also follow this year.


Step 12 ❤❤❤



Beautiful decoration Part 2:

If you want, you can always sew beautiful laces, ribbons or other onto the bias tape.


Step 13 ❤❤❤



The final step!
Everything is sewn and the decorations are attached to the corsets. Up next we'll insert the eyelets.

Mark the places on which you'd like to insert the eyelets from the inside.
With a punch pliers, a nail scissors or an unstitcher you cut the holes.
Uses the eyelets and seals them.
You can use a tongs or a hammer.


Threaded into the cord and have fun!

Time for me: 2-3 days
