DIY gifts for your 20th wedding anniversary
Try to create porcelain yourself, so that you can then make presents out of it. The process is very fun. Take:
- 170 kg of PVA glue and starch;
- 1 tbsp. l. petroleum jelly;
- 1 tbsp. l. glycerin;
- 1 tbsp. l. lemon juice.
Put the ingredients in a container and put on a low heat. Cook, stirring all the time. When the mass begins to stick to the spoon, then the cold porcelain can be removed from the heat. Lubricate your hands with the cream, after which you can cool the cold porcelain and then stir it for about 5 minutes.
And if you need cold porcelain without cooking, then use any of the two recipes below.
Take:
- 2 st. l. potato or corn starch;
- 1 st. l. petroleum jelly;
- PVA glue;
- soda.
Take a dry bowl and pour the starch into it. Melt the petroleum jelly in a water bath and put it over the starch. Add some baking soda and stir.
Now add glue and stir. When it is already difficult to do this with a spoon, then knead it with your hands. Lubricate them with petroleum jelly so that the material does not stick to your palms.
And here is the second recipe for making cold porcelain. Take:
- 1 st. l. wallpaper glue;
- 1 st. l. baking soda;
- 1 st. l. water.
Mix these ingredients together and add a little petroleum jelly or detergent. Then store the mass in the refrigerator.
And the following tips will allow you to create great porcelain to make gifts for 20 years of your wedding.
If you want white china, then add cornstarch instead of potato. Potato adds yellowness to the finished product. But if you then paint the gift, then you can use that ingredient.
To make the mass more flexible, add glue to it, which says what the plasticizer contains. You can add an automotive plasticizer.
Before applying wallpaper glue, also look at the composition of this component. For cold porcelain, there must be modified starch.
If cracks formed on the finished mass, it began to crumble, then add glue here and mix. Cold porcelain or hot porcelain will become plastic again. And if the finished product does not hold its shape well, add starch and mix. The finished item will become more durable.
If colored porcelain is needed, then add paints at the kneading stage. They can be food, acrylic, gouache. Stir well so that the mass has a uniform color.
Now it's worth thinking about what to give for 20 years of a joint wedding from porcelain. Present the hero of the occasion with delicate roses created from this material. A master class and a step-by-step photo will help you do this with ease.

To make a gift for 20 years of wedding, we create porcelain products. Take a piece of this material and roll it into a ball, sharpening it on one side. The shape will be like an egg. Take paint and cover the sharp tip of this blank with it. Dry pigment can be used.
Take a piece of wire and bend it on one side to make a hook. On the other hand, you will have a straight wire. Stick in a piece of Styrofoam, attach it to the top of the created bud.
Roll the porcelain into a layer. The layer should not be very thin, about 4 mm.
To roll out the porcelain, you can use the tools at hand, take a spray bottle, lipstick cap or pencil. The porcelain will not stick to the board if you smear it with cream.
Cut out circles from the prepared porcelain layer. You can put half of the package from the kinder surprise, circle it to get even shapes. Put one on your finger and on one side, make its edges wavy. To do this, you need to roll this place on your finger with a toothpick.
Dip the brush in pink pigment and coat these decorated edges with it. Now stick the blank to the created bud.
Then, in this way, make the next petals and glue them on the same bud, but observing the sequence so that the workpiece looks like a rose. Press with a toothpick on the edges of the petals to make them look more realistic. Look, if these details are enough, then it's time to move on to the sepal. Cut it out of rolled porcelain and coat with green pigment. Make several of these details and secure them on the back of the rose.
If you don't have a pre-made pigment, use regular eye shadow, cheek blush, and powder together.
