I saw this explanation in a magazine, and I found it very useful to make flowers with cold porcelain. The pictures are very clear and they show you the material needed and the procedure step by step. Anyway, I will give you a clear list of what you need: wire (not very thin) covered with green, bridal vail fabric, a clamp, big ball tool, scissors, paintbrush, glue, flower molds, acrylic painting or oil painting.
First of all, dye the cold porcelain with the oil painting: put some acrylic in the cold porcelain you will need and mix it with your hands until you have an homogeneus colour.

Then, double one side of the wire with the clamps and cut a square of vail fabric. Put the vail fabric arround a cold porcelain ball.

After that, pull and cut the vail fabric that is under the ball.

Inser the wire (doubled side in the ball) and stretch some CP to cover the wire.

With a thin layer of red cold porcelain, cut the flower shape with the mold. You will do this with the 3 sizes of mold you have, so many times as flowers you’ll make. Then cut the petals.

Give some texture to the petals.

With the ball tool, give some movement to the petals, then, put the smaller petals in the wire and glue them. Do the same thing with the other petals.

And here they are…
