1. Kokedama Variations for beginners: In this course, you
will learn how to make not one, not two, but three types of coca
damages and everything you need to turn them into
personal and unique gifts. If for someone. Hi and
welcome to my curves. My name is Kinga. They love to share simple
craft and the projects. In this course, I
will show you how to make three different
styles of Archidamus. The simple way, how to choose the plans and
other materials, and how to care for
your crocodile amaz. This class is for you
if you are looking to create a simple decorative
base for your home, or if you are searching
for this gift ideas. I learned from my
personal experience that by new loved Sam, thank you for sharing. I also prepared something
else for this class. Check out the resources
section and download the printable resources
that you can use, the personalized your kids. Click follow, and
let's get started.
2. Materials and your project: To create the base
of your Archidamus, you will need a plan,
soil, some water. The mixing bowl and coaster. Depending on which
design you choose, you will also need
cocoa quiet or liner. Paper and pencil. Twine and large neither. Moths, thread, and scissors. You will find more details
about them in a section. In this section or lesson, I will talk about how to
choose the plant and so on. In most plants can make
beautiful coca damages. And to keep them that way, there are some things to consider when you're
choosing your plant. For example, if the person got a Green Thumb has
children or pets, what are the plans care needs
in terms of temperature, light, humidity, so
watering and so on. Let's look at them one by one. The first thing to consider
when you are choosing your plant is how big and half our steel
plant where Caroll, this is important
because you can of course make logical
Gadamer does. But if your plant
grows very quickly, the roots will find
the way through. And you a report or if
you'd like to remake them. Very often. If you choose a
plan that are already mature, you can keep them as AES for years without needing
to remake them. The hook of them I will be
around children or pets. You might want to search for plants that either
nontoxic or edible. Make sure you search
for the specific like nontoxic or edible
plants for children. Nontoxic or edible plants
for dogs, cats, rabbit. Because it varies from toxic, usually means that eating
a small amount of it will not cause major problems. Means that you don't need
to worry like you would expect that eating salads and cause problems
for most of us. By now, you probably
have some plants in mind. That's great. Now when we looked
at their needs, my needs, I mean soil, temperature, humidity,
watering and feeding. And don't worry, you will find the downloadable checklist in the resources section for this. There are still
ways to look at it. The first scenario
is you have a plan that you'd love to make
it into echo Gadamer. You look at it needs and
choose a place to meet them. Bear with me with all
makes sense in a second. The second scenario is
the other way around. You have a place in mind
where he would love to display your cookie edema. You choose a plan that can
strive in those conditions. Buffer buf scenario. You will need to know
the plants needs, right? I know it might sound a
little too much at first, but it's worth the extra two minutes because this is
the key for success. To make it a bit easier
and more friend. I made the printable
checklist that you can in the resources section
to help each other out. If you have a plan
that you figured out, share it with us in
the project section. Just take a photo of
the checklist or take a photo of the hook Gadamer with the threat list next
to it and upload. This way we can build a
nicely her library together and the Kansas return
to eight when we decided to make
another cool Gadamer to check if someone has already made the research would
be very helpful for us. Now, every house plans has specific needs that come from where they can
be found in nature. It's kind of neat to mimic those Gandhi's conditions in our home in order to make
them happy and Hercy. The first and maybe the most
important one is the soil. Plant has a preference. Some like more acidic or
more chronic conditions. And some plants like more air in the soil or more
drainage capacity. This is very important because
depending on the plant, soya needs some
plants, for example, or kids or air plants probably
won't make her happy. Cooker them out in the long run. Plans hasn't got the
traditional rules that going into the Soyuz. So unless you paint
them onto the top of the base, they weren't lost. They want lasting
closed into a soil. Most or hits. Have a specific
type of routes that photosynthesize and needs slides or take up water from the air. So they doesn't like to
be enclosed into soil, but they need that type
of specific soil that can get more air and light. For the plants to
be able to take the nutrients it needs In
the right type of soil. Use, for example, Google
to find out what type of soil they like or
how sensitive they are. If they are not
really sensitive, a general porting or
compost mix, your work. Another condition to
look at it, the light. There are some plants that
like lots of direct sunlight. Others prefer in their applied
or low-light conditions. Either look at the place that
you would like to display your cooker Dharma and choose
a plan according to it, or put a comma there. You'll be happy
with the light, the conditions, temperature. There are some plants that light warmer at this lake
called the conditions. Some plants needs to
be in the court for awhile to being able
to bring flowers. Are other plants that are more sensitive to change
in the temperature, for example, they won't
be happy if you put them into next to the window. Watering and humidity. Some plants, I'm showing you a fairly dry at this like
more moist conditions. Some pens, it lags the soil, dry out between the watering. If they prefer more
humid conditions, you can mimic it by regular miss think so hard to water
the coca damages. Uvea find instructions
in the care of section. Okay, so now go to the
Resources section and download the checklist
and checkout the descriptions for links to
how to identify the plants if you're not sure
what they are there, I would go to search
for the plants needs. Of course, you can Google it. Check out the project section
as VAB I Buber sharing the plans that I already figured
out with the checklists. And please please
please share yours too. So if you have a plan
that you figure out, you filled out the
checklist is take a photo and upload so we can be at a nicely
or library there.
3. Building the Base: Neither if we are researched and carefully selected
our plants and soil, it is time to get our hands dirty and make the base
of the cookie Gadamer. For this step, you will
need a plant soil, water, a ball to mixed the soil and the water and the cost or to
put the cocoa dharma based on Prepare the plant before you start. So take it out of the port. It is okay if the roots
have Sam soil on, it might want to use that toy for embedding
Gadamer base width. I propagated mine in water. So that is why the
roots are so clean. Water to the soil and mix. It. Tried to squeeze a handful. It should keep its shape. So if it's falling apart, you can add some more water. If it's a little bit too runny, add more soil or
squeeze some water out. Formable from the soil. To decide how big
or small you need. A look at the Port of the plant. You want to go for
about the same size, or maybe slightly bigger. The ball with both hands and turn your hands the
opposite direction, like opening a jar and
split this ball in half. Please, the plant in the middle and carefully
reshaped the board. Make sure that you
gently enough to, not to hurt the roots, but firm enough to form
above it the plant in the middle. That's it. If you have a certain type of shape of plant
or have low water, your plants have lots of leaves. That might be in the way. You can wrap it with
twine paper kitchen for to keep them out of the way
and save them from damage. Move on to the styling process.
4. Kokedama style 1.: To create this other
robot, more STI, you will need the base
you've created earlier. Most lining or prepare cheat. But if works wherever
it's Swagger, most do. We also need
scissors and thread? I use the Black Sea
and ketones thread. Some prefer using
transparent thread and it won't be visible
in the coke Gadamer. To decide how big
of a piece you will need from the most to
cover the syllabus. The easiest method
is using your hands. If you mean the smaller base, if my tip in one hand, if you made the medium size, might be able to cover
it with both hands. But if he made a bigger one, start from the top and estimate
the size of the soluble. Then put your hands on the
most sheet and measure it out. This idea if you have
one continuous piece, but don't worry for knock, a little bit of puzzling
and it will ever perfectly put the mouse around the base and
saturate with the spread. Make sure that the end of
the thread want disappeared. I laid it on the plant here. If you have more smaller pieces, just started the
biggest piece and other smaller pieces as TPO. Rebels had a randomness, it won't be visible, done fairly about it. Here I had bigger piece, but the next one, IB had only, uh, PCs and minute to do
some puzzling as swam. My new Sekhar, the
moths tie the ends together and reshape your
cooker them a little bit. Test it out if it stands. If not, just needs a
bit more reshaping and it is ready to go. Don't forget to check out the
project section that upper, I showed you another ways to personalize their
crocodile AMA. And please take a photo and share it in the project section. Here I used the piece of time to tie the leaves together so
they won't be in the width. You can use either paper or
ketone for, for this step. Then I picked up
the biggest piece and covered the soil
above it there. So pick the smaller
pieces and try to pursue them together
so they cover nicely. The base or from the cockpit. Laid the thread onto the leaves. Secular the soil
secreting onto the base. It needs a couple of
layers of the spread, but really don't worry,
won't be visible. I chose a darker color. Here I use black, but basically
any dark color will work, that will disappear
because it's very thin. The Morse's vary a
little bit fluffy, so it will just goes
between the most leaves. I like. The cotton
thread that has a color. I don't like that
transparent ones because for me it's
a bit more shiny. When the sun is shining, you can just see that
spread a bit more, I think, but it's
also preference. It's not really busy. But again too, thy the thrust
together on the top. Good to leave a little
bit of longer threads. Because when you
tie them together, you can just use them to Hank the crocodile Matthew,
just to hang it. Now, you can cut it very short
and put it on a coaster.
5. Kokedama style 2. part 1: To create this style, you will need the base that
you've created earlier, cocoa quiet sheet, mess
with measuring tape, paper, pencil, ruler, scissors. And neither. The style requires a little
bit of planning. First measure the cooker
dharma based around the widest part and
divide it by four, is 24 centimeters
at the widest part, and I divided it by four, and that is six centimeters. Next tube we need a paper that is long enough
to measure out. By this part of the papilledema, the 21st centimeters for me. And the paper-based
should be the half of that is 12
centimeters for me. Later you will need the same
size of cocoa acquire sheet, or you need to do
some personal ink that will work as well. Take the longest
side of the paper. And for editing UF. Again, my cooker Dharma
at the widest part West 21st centimeters and that needs to be the
length of the paper. And 12 centimeter should
be the waste of my paper. Now, measure the number
you got in the first step. Mine was six from the folded side and find the
paper at that point again. So you have four layers, the paper in half again. Now alongside the weights
that you should have eight layers measured the number you got in the first step, my mistakes from the middle and draw a curved line from the furthered side
to the top middle. Cut alongside the current
line that you throw. New opening, you should get
a similar shape like mine. You wrap it around,
your ******* obeys. It should cover it nicely. Now you can lay on
the coco quiet sheet or liner and cut it out. If you don't make enough sheet
for your cooker damages, you can cut the shapes, the connect them
back together again. We'll need the twine and anita. The first step is So it back to a continuous loop or
form if you like. Then so at the bottom,
parts together, slide the base in the
middle and the top part. It together as well. So first
it together in the middle. Then the other piece of that. So the bottom part, this you best attack from
the inside and outside. Then back again in
each four pieces. Back where it started
and pull them together. If we are keep the bottom
of the liner together.
6. Kokedama style 2 part 2: Repeat the same on the top, but before you pour
them together, you will just slide your coca
gamma base in the middle. Again, start from the inside
to outside, then back again. Four pieces until you get back. Expert that first piece. Remember before you
put them together, you need to put your cookie,
Madame obese, inside. Make sure that your base and the plan is nicely
in the middle. Then put both strings. Cocoa liner, nicely
forward around the arctan. That is ready to go. Make sure you check out the project section and the resources to personalize
her for her them, especially if you made it for a gift for someone you love. Us. What to do if there is
a gap alongside the edges. Don't. You either can reshape or reposition
your Kolkata AMA, just get a piece of Tynan, a neither and so alongside the edge and
close them together. You can also choose to do it on just the technical Gadamer. The way the hue, one seat or you can
see it if you prefer. You can select on
site j is to keep it dies and you may clue.
7. Kokedama style 3.: For this style, we'll only need the base that you created
earlier and some twine. I will use some cocoa
choir or liner that was too small from
the previous lesson. You can use most or
just the base only. If you're using the blaze
oily will need to be more gentle and careful with the first couple of
layers of the twine. And expect that
your cooker Dima, will dry more quickly without extra layer or
more store Coco choir. I also wrapped the plant around the leaves I
know in the vein. First, make sure that the
end of the Twine disappear. You will need this to
a secular other end. And also you can use it for
hanging the Kolkata AMA. But don't worry if it's
already disappeared that we showed you at fixed IP. I like to lay it on the plant, on the leaf to saturate. Now, the twin in one hand and wrap nicely
around your cookie Gadamer. Base. At first as roughly
wrap around the plant. Cover the base Lewis Li. If you're using only
two as the base, then it will be important
how you wrap it with a plan. Because it will show on the outside and it will always so shape your crocodile comma. After the first
couple of layers, you will learn to
wrap more tightly. Have that nice organized look to it if you prefer
to look that way. The trick is to keep the Twine in the same anchor
to your cookie Madame. You need to wrap it around. Credit with one finger
that it won't move. And then turn your cookie
Gadamer, wrap again. And turn the base of your
Coke Gadamer again and so on. And they're covered fully. This method where we've acute pattern on the
bottom of Coke adenoma, that it will sit
nicely on the course. The records of air. Just remember,
keep the twine and the same angle and the prep
secur with your thumb. Turn a cook Gadamer
and rapid again. You can also leave it
that way if you have, if you want the cocoa acquire or the most to show through. But if you do a lot
more layer than if we just covered fully
and you won't be able to see soil or the
that covers Yokohama. Don't hurry if the
water is it out? It's okay. Just repeat that. When you think it looks
good and you're finished, just find the other end and
tie them together tightly. Don't worry if you
can't find it, you just need to find a
very tight piece of thread on the Obama and
pull the loose red. And the red. This will keep in place. That's it. Cooker there
mice ready to go. Make sure you check out
the project section. Download the price personalized Kadima if you wanted
to make it into.
8. Kokedama care: In this section, I will show you how to water your coca damages. You regularly. If you have a plant, he usually water it from
the bottom or from the top. Buffy the cooker Damas. You need to leave it in the
water for Sir him in aids or longer to soak the water
up into the throwable. It depends off your
plans care needs, how often you need to do it. But the rule of thumb
is when you're Fukuda, Mars become more light
than if he lifted up. It's not too heavy anymore. That's a good indicator
that you need to water. It.
