Boards Decorative cage for birds. Cage turned in height of 25 cm.
We need: a simple cardboard (again I took a box of cakes and sweets), a thick boxboard to impart structural strength, bamboo sticks (skewers), wire, crepe paper, putty, paint, glue, Titan, PVA glue, homemade cold porcelain for molding of flowers, and of a decorative bird cage that was not empty.
cell size you define yourself. I do everything on the basis of the octahedron, the distance between the opposite angles is equal to 13 cm., And the side of the octahedron is equal to 5 cm.
Doing the basics of preparation and the roof on the basis of my previous MK stranamasterov.ru/node/872548
The only difference is that for a large roof we make additional detail -. octagonal box with walls of 1 cm These bumpers is reinforced with two more layers of plain cardboard. Octahedron of this part on all sides by 0.5 cm less than the lower part of the roof.
It has been plastered and primed blank roof.
Here are a few not in compliance with the order of work. The roof had already been primed and glued blank with bumpers to the bottom of a large roof.
It has been finished parts foundation and roof, painted in gold
showed off his new acquisition – acrylic paint with a golden hue of two kinds. For a long time, I wanted to find in our city something like that. The small packages in stationery. products are sold all sorts of colors but in sets. And then there is wealth, – do not want to
