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.

Elena in "Support Your Local Soccer Team" and "Among Roses"

Here are the final images (in case you have seen the previews on tumblr) from Elena shooting zitronenröllchen custom latex wear. It was a great pleasure to work with her showing my latest two designs. JeyOh also did an amazing job shooting really cool photos. I hope you all like them.

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.

Isaac Suttell shot Erika Tschirhart in a really cute creation of mine called "Strawberry Fields". Here are some photos, I hope you like them as much as I do.
