Flower Power

The regular reader of this blog will know my passion for latex flowers like these roses.

For my latest design I created a couple of larger roses and here is how I did:

1. The basic material for my latex rose is a 60cm long strip of latex that is about 3cm wide at one end and 5cm at the other. The 3cm end will be the center of the rose.

I used 0.35mm latex of metallic honey color. A bit translucent and very tasty.

2. Apply glue to both long edges of the strip (on the backside) and glue them together.

3. Now clean and glue both edges on the frontside. As you need to turn the strip to apply the glue on both sides use some cling film to protect the glue

4. Start at the narrow end rolling the strip into a flower. Overlap the latex to give the flower form.

5. Add some additional glue (or liquid latex) to the bottom of the rose.

Ask, if you have questions. Make your own flowers and show them. Can't wait to see them.

Making Small Latex Bows

This tutorial shows how I make small latex bows from 5mm wide stripes of bubblegum latex (0.35mm):

1. The piece of latex for the bow is 40mm long and 5mm wide. Clean and attach glue to both ends and the center area.

2. Flip one end to the middle with the help of a ruler or grid.

3. Flip the other end to the middle and use some talcum to avoid any unwanted sticking.

4. Take another strip and attach glue. Also attach glue to the center of the bow. Attach the end of the strip as seen on the photo.

5. Wrap the strip around the bow to give the bow the desired form. Cut the strip.

6. This is how the bows should look now

7. Take another two strips of length 30mm each and attach glue to one end (one front, one back)

8. Glue the both stripes together at the desired angle. I prefer ca. 60 degress.

9. Attach glue to the back of the bow and the stripes just glued together.

10. Glue the bow to the stripes and cut away the parts above the bow. Also cut the lower stripes to the desired form and length.

11. The finished bows.

There is also another tutorial on larger bows.

Please let me know, if my instructions work for you. And, let me see some pictures of your bows.

1'o'3 Lions

The idea behind this design is the use of one of the three English lions on a classic, clean and playful set of top and panties.

I cut the lion from 0.35mm red latex and attached it to the front of the panties. Panties and top were cut from 0.35mm white latex using a slightly modified "Strawberry Fields" pattern (look at the pattern page for it).

I also attached ruffles (from 30mm wide stripes) to the back of the panties and to the front of the top.

All edges of the set are finished with victorian blade cut trimmings.

I will show you some photos of Anna wearing this set within the next weeks.


I'm currently working on a one-piece variant. So stay tuned.

Proud Plum

Proud Plum is latex dress made for a photo session with the upcoming shooting star Victoria van Violence, a beautiful and talented model from Frankfurt/Germany.

The dress is solely made from 0.35mm plum colored latex. The two front parts overlap over the chest and close behind the neck with the help of a couple of snap fasteners. A zipper is assembled on the back to help dressing.

The front parts form a beautiful bust and give some insight between (You will know what I mean, when I 'll show you some pictures within the next days).

You can find a basic pattern file (PDF and SVG) to download on the pattern page.

When working with this pattern, take care to adjust the length of all parts to your needs (they are not aligned in the pattern file). Proud Plum is a little bit shorter on the front than on the back. Also take the width of the ruffles (cut from 5cm wide latex rings) into account.

I added small victorian cut trimmings to most of the seams (see on second image) and edges.

Cruel Cobald China

This creation took quite some time to finish.

Cruel Cobal China is based on an idea by JeyOh Photography to transfer the patterns of the widely known Blue Onion Porcelain (the German name is "Zwiebelmuster") to a set of latex undies.

The basic ornaments are always similar and represent a couple of Chinese flowers and fruits with individual meanings. Here's a brief history of the design in case you are interested.

I extracted the patterns from a photo and vectorized them using inkscape (find the SVG and PDF on the pattern page). Then I transfered the patterns (or parts of them) to adhesive labels, stuck them onto 0,35mm blue latex and cut them out using my small scissors. The pieces then were glued to the panties made from 0,35mm white latex.

I also attached a shell cut trimming along the edge to finish the look.

We are currently looking for models to shoot this design.

Make your own Imperial Pasties

Here are the instruction for making your own Imperial Pasties:

1. Get the pattern from here: [SVG] [PDF] (The imperial emblem is a regular hexagon, so I cut the original emblem into 12 pieces and removed 3-4 degrees from each to create the final pattern.).

2. Print the pattern onto paper (see step 4) and also onto a self-adhesive label. Adhere the label onto a piece of 0.35mm white latex (top left).

3. Cut the emblem along the outline using a cutter or scissors (top right). Be patient and precise ;-)

4. When finished cutting (bottom left) attach the label side of the emblem to the paper print using some paper glue. This avoids shifting when the emblem is glued to the black latex (bottom right). Note: The imperial emblem  is symetric, so the paper print does not need to be mirrored.

5. Glue the latex side of the emblem onto a piece of 0.35mm black latex (top).

6. Cut along the outer edge leaving a small black border of 1-2mm (bottom left).

7. Finally cut from the center of the emblem along one edge of the white part and glue the overlapping black behind the emblem to create the cone form.

8. Wash, oil and enjoy the finished pasties (bottom right).

When you are done, send a photo of your pasties to latex@zitronenroellchen.com so we can show our tribute to the dark side. Go MacKenzie!

Here are some action shots.

Making Small Latex Roses

I have a couple of latex circles as leftovers from making ruffles. Time to convert them into some little latex roses.

1. The circles are cut out from 0.35mm bubblegum latex with an outer diameter of 8cm. I cut out a second circle in the middle of the larger one with a diameter of 4.5cm. This leaves a ring of latex ca. 1.7cm wide (top left).

2. I cleaned both sides with latex cleaner and applied latex milk to both the inner and outer edge of the front and back side. I also cut the ring into two halves for two roses (top right).

3. The next step looks tricky but isn't. I glued the outer circumference onto the inner one to create a ca. 8mm wide strip like the one on the picture (bottom left).

4. I rolled this irregular strip from one end to the other (bottom right).

5. The folded side of the rolled strip now looks similar to a little rose. I applied additional latex milk to the loose end and glued it in a way that the fold goes down to the bottom of the rose (top left).

6. I cut out little leaves from 0.35mm jade green latex (bottom left).

7. Finally I glued the leaves to the bottom of the roses (right).

I would like to see other types of latex flowers. So please send me photos and/or instructions of your creations.

Strawberry Fields Explained

A couple of people asked me for some details about the "Strawberry Fields" underwear worn by Miss Tschirhart.

I used 0.35mm 4D latex in the colors scarlet red and jade green for this creation.

The ruffles are made from small circles (outer diameter 12cm, inner diameter 8cm) with the outer edge cut with a small wave form rotary cutter.

The trimming is cut with a large wave form cutter.

All hearts are cut by hand. Four bows are glued to the panties and two to the top.

The top also has two hidden loops (behind the bows) where an optional neck holder can be attached.

The pattern can be found on the pattern page.

Victorian Babe Lingerie

So, here are some quick shots of the new Victorian Babe set of latex underwear.

The garments are made of 0.35mm baby pink latex with a 0.35mm white trim that was cut with a victorian rotary blade.

I also added two white bows and an adjustable neck holder to the bra.

You certainly notice that the cup size of the bra does not really match the mannequin's one. Btw, I am looking for a model in the Rhine-Main-Area (see my Modelmayhem page for further details).

The pattern can be found on the pattern page (look for "Purple Undies (Panties and Bra)").

Victorian Babe Blade

This is a preview of my new set of latex underwear. The panties are made of 0.35mm baby pink latex with a trim cut from 0.35mm white latex (all 4D in case you wonder).

The trim is cut with a victorian rotary blade. I used a 45mm blade like this one from fiskars for the inner edge.

I really love this pattern and the decent look it creates.

Imperial Pasties

These pasties are made from 0.35mm white and black latex.

The interesting part was the creation of the pattern of the pasties as I had to transform the imperial emblem into the surface of a cylinder (aka pacman).

The imperial emblem is a regular hexagon, so I cut the emblem into 12 pieces and removed 3-4 degrees from each to create the final pattern.

I transfered that pattern to the white latex and cut it with my scissors, glued the white onto the black latex and cut the outline leaving a small overlap for glueing the pasties.

Here is the pattern for the pasties: [SVG] [PDF]

Bubblegum Polka revisited

Here are some close shots of the Bubblegum Polka set
that Erika Tschirhart is wearing on the photos posted here and here.

The pattern used for this set of underwear is a modification (mainly of size) of the Hello Kitty panties and the Ruffle Bra.

I used 0.35mm white latex for the garments and a thinner 0.18mm black latex for the ruffles and the trim. The trim is cut using a wave form rotary cutter.

The polka dots are hand cut from 0.35mm bubblegum latex.

I also made a neckband in the same style saying "Do you still love me?" that never made it onto the pictures of Erika. And yes, all letters are hand cut and glued to the neckband with patience and love ;-)

My Heart is Red

It has been a while since my last post. I apologize for that, but I moved my home and my working place to a new and shiny location. There was a lot of screwing, drilling, constructing and dragging but no cutting or glueing during the last weeks.

Anyway, here's a lovely new panty made from 0.35mm lemongreen latex with a white edging cut with a large wave form rotary cutter.

Both sides are made of 4 white (10mm wide) latex strips that give the panties a very good fitting (at least on skin).

The pattern is basically a Hello Kitty modification.

The little heart is hand-cut from 0.35mm white latex and glued to the panties (I apply glue to the backside of the applique only).

I'm also almost finished with another cute promotional outfit made-to-measure for Erika Tschirhart and hope I can show some pictures soon.

Making latex bows

Girls like bows.

This tutorial shows how I made a couple of red latex bows for one of my next creations.

1. Cut pieces of 80mm length from a strip of 12mm wide and 0.35mm thick red latex. Change these measurements for smaller or larger bows (top left).

2. Clean each piece on the backside. Appy some latex milk to both edges and to the center. After the glue has dried flip and glue both edges to the center. Use a ruler or the grid of your working space for correct alignment (top right).

3. Use talcum powder to prevent glueing where unwanted on the finished bow parts (bottom left).

4. The knot is made from a 14mm long piece of latex that was cut from a 10mm wide strip. I prefer the knot and the loose ends to be a little bit smaller than the bow. Clean and apply latex milk to the back side of the knot and the frontside of the bow part. Glue half of the knot pice to the bow part, than roll the bow part, so you can glue the other half of the knot piece to the other side of the bow part (bottom right). This is the most difficult part. Practice before you glue!

5. The result should look like the bows on the images to the right (upper left).

6. Cut the loose ends from the 10mm wide strip, approximately at a length of 35mm. Glue two pices together in a sharp angle (top right).

7. Cut the piece even on top, clean and apply glue. Also clean and apply glue to the back of the bow (bottom left).

8. Glue both parts together and cut the loose ends in form. The bows are finished (bottom right).

Purple Undies

This set of purple underwear consists of bra, panties and garter belt.

They are made of 0.4mm thick purple latex sheeting and 0.25mm thick and 8mm wide black latex edges.

All edges are cut with a wave form rotary cutter on the inner side to give the garments a discreet look.

For the bra's shoulder straps I used 0.6mm thick and 9mm wide black latex strips and some rings and sliders (on the back) to adjust the length.

The bra's band is bit narrower than that of the previous bra models I posted here and follows the cup's curve on the front.

The panties are made from one front and two back parts.

I still believe it is necessary to have a concave curve along the center back line for a better fitting of the panties at the backside. As this is not required on the front, I chose this 3-part pattern, which is also a bit narrower than my previous panties models in this blog.

The front is glued to the both back parts behind the diagonal trims.

I already wrote about the garter belt with its latex lace front panel some time ago in this article.

As usual, you can find the patterns for all three garments on my pattern page within the next couple of days.

Hope, you like it.

Don't Touch the Metal

I do not like attaching metal eyelets to my latex garments but still have to add some kind of opening/closing mechanism where needed. I'm open for suggestions.

For this collar I used two textile straps with snap fasteners and soaked them with liquid black latex (top left).

I cut them apart and glued them behind the latex collar (top right) and reinforced them with a small strip of latex.

 
The picture at the bottom shows the construction from the front side. When closed only the small pieces of the straps on the right are visible and give the garment an interesting look.

Here is a finished example that uses the same mechanism.

A Merry Latex Xmas

I'm currently working on a super secret set of cute and kinky latex underwear that will be shot with a really stunning model. More soon.

Meanwhile xmas is coming closer, so I started to make some xmas tree decorations like the christmas ball (bauble) shown on the photo.

I took a regular christmas ball and dunked it into liquid black latex. I had to carry and turn it while drying to avoid tears.

The stars are hand-cut from 0.4mm bubblegum latex and glued to the balled after it has dried. I attached to glue only to the stars backside. I hope you like it.

A merry latex xmas to all the people out there.

Lace Garter Belt

This garter belt is a sequel to my experiments with self made latex lace. The back and side parts are made from 0.4mm purple latex. The front part is created from a piece of net lace that I put onto a glass surface and soaked it with transparent liquid latex. The glass side gets really smooth and shiny when oiled.

The trims are cut from 0.25mm black latex with a rotary cutter with a special blade that cuts a wave form.

I have uploaded the pattern to the pattern page.
