Identifying exactly what size will our hearts and cut a rectangle of the same size, which is folded in half. Draw a half heart on the part of the fold, so that eventually turned the heart of the whole two equal halves.

Take the white cardboard such size that in it together next two hearts already familiar size. Divide the cardboard pencil into two equal parts and then perform blunt scissors a ruler on the same line a little pushing. Eraser to erase the line from the pencil. Bend the cardboard on the sunken line. To place, the fold is putting heart so that it touched the edge of the pointed end. Encircles the template. Cut along the contour curly scissors except for folding seats. Trace the same pattern on a red chalk felt. Cut Felt heart, making the indentation of 0.7 mm from the edge of the chalk. That is, felt heart must be smaller than that of the cardboard blank. Departing should be the same. The edge of the felt heart processed loopy forked suture. First delaying loop in one direction and then in the opposite direction, thus penetrating the needle through the same hole. The cut edge of scissors curly decorates red pol bus NAMI.

DIY: Beautiful (Night Lamp) Heart ball of thread

Lamp-night lamp “Loving Heart” (published in w. Master (Belarus))

In anticipation of the holidays, we overcome suffering – “What to give to your loved ones?” I want something unusual, surprising, no matter what do not like. I would like to express our overwhelming feelings, and the words hard to find? Let’s give your favorite marvelous light “Heart”. With this gift, you will be able to say everything without words.

The night can give mothers on Women’s Day, girlfriend or daughter for a birthday, a favorite on Valentine’s Day heart “beats” from the senses and that’s it. Light a lamp in a romantic evening only strengthen your feelings.

And you can just for yourself, your favorite, to create a miracle. The interior of the bedroom, it certainly attracted attention.

everything you need to prepare in advance.

1 -2 thread spool (pink or other colors), the color of a lamp depends on your decision.
2 PVA glue, not less than 100 ml (not the building!) Adhesive point or hot glue (glue gun)
3 thick needle, long
4 ball in the shape of a heart (you can make a light and around for yourself). For the master class, we took a round ball.
5 square-shaped plate (20 ’20) of a thickness not less than 1.5 cm. You can replace the wooden photo frame with wide planks or solid cardboard box.
6 napkin color (can be replaced with cloth or acrylic paint). The stand can be issued and in its sole discretion)
7 -tailender a roll of toilet paper.
8 dried plants and artificial flowers, beads, feathers, in short, something for decorating our hearts.
9 drill
10 blinking Christmas tree garland.
11 scissors

Getting to the manufacture of

1 First, make shade for our lamp. Inflate balloon heart to medium size. The size of the inflated balloon and will be the size of our lampshade.

2 bottles of glue PVA bottom pierced with a needle with two vdet in her thread.

Figure 1) extends a needle through the bank, took out the other side, take out the needle thread. Pierce the bottom necessarily banks unnecessarily. the thread must always be wetted with glue, and the amount of adhesive in the work decreases. For the convenience of working with a thread spool, and a jar of glue put in jars.

3 end of the thread tying the tail of the ball and start winding a ball
Fig. 2). The thread must always be wetted with adhesive. Initially, it will be inconvenient and thread all the time to slip the ball, but we’re stubborn, hard-working, we will succeed!(Figure 3) tauten thread diagonally lengthwise, crosswise. After 10 min, the winding becomes easier. (Fig. 4)

First, we get the hand and understand the principle, secondly, the thread stops the slide, unnecessarily. It will cling to the wound.

Roundball winding easier than the “heart”. The “heart” do not forget to wrap the “ears”. Look where we are sending to the emptiness and thread. Drum thread pool is not empty. If the glue is ended earlier thread, just it from other banks. That wound ball (Fig. 5) Leave it to dry. When the thread is almost dry, punctures the ball. Threads will be tough and will keep the shape.

4 Getting manufacturing base. I took a stand for the tablet. Drill a hole in it (you can help one of the men, but not one for which it will be a surprise. Although …. Maybe he was. He did not even guess what it is and why.) The hole should be of a diameter that through it might get through Christmas tree garland. Instead, you can use a thick plank picture frame, replacing the glass with a thick cardboard. Or, in extreme cases, try the box with a thick, dense cardboard, not too thin. (Figure 6)

5 over the aperture ring of glue cardboard, cut from of roll of toilet paper. We attach it with glue well bay. Outside strengthen a strip of paper, grabbing one corner of the ring, the other coming on board. The board. I pasted cloth (PVA) and a bit overshadowed gold acrylic paint. (Figure 7 and Fig. 8 and Fig. 9). On the reverse side, plates make a groove for the wiring from a garland (Fig. 10) 6 Threads almost dried up? Punctures the ball. The ball should unstick itself from the thread. Therefore, it is not necessary to wait until dry. If the ball has dried thoroughly and piercing not unstuck from the thread, will come to his aid. Through the thread is passed a pencil or any wand inside her trying to unstick the ball. If the thread balloon wrinkled, pressed, then we, the same wand inside his straightened, but still try to do everything patiently and carefully. The ball was torn inside the thread. (Fig. 11)

We’ll get it through the skin. It is more convenient to do it with tweezers.

7 At the bottom of the ball (where was the tail), cut out a hole in the form of a lotus. (Fig. 12).

The hole diameter should be with our ring. And it sits on must be tight. (Figure 13). Dress up the ball on the ring, pouring glue. The petals are glued to the outside of the ring. Then you will feel that the ball as if he falls, and “asks” on the stand. Just press it and the place where he sat down on the stand we coat with glue. Just make sure that the lamp was flat, not tilted. (Fig. 14) 8 Zadekoriruem our “Heart” (in our version, to explain the ball.) I used dried flowers. But you can come up with something of their own. Stick to your decor thread, make “heart” of the most beautiful and loving. (Fig. 15) 9 Bottom stand pokes through a hole in the “heart” of Christmas garland. Outside the reserve wire that embarks on the groove and attaches it with glue or adhesive tape.Enjoy your evening

DIY: Glowing garland with balls of yarn

On the eve of the New Year, I would like to tell you how I make a garland with balls of yarn.

We do this usually with his son. He most likes to burst balloons after they glue dries.

Here is a garland presented to me in the new year my sister.

Materials we need:

– PVA glue, better than plain. I use this:

Garland. I buy them in Ikeja. The Chinese are not suitable as light bulbs on them very much, and a small distance between them. Well and reliability again. This garland on batteries. She has a huge advantage: you do not get attached to the outlet. It can be hung wherever you want; – balloons. The smallest that can buy. I buy them just a big package, it is cheaper. More to come but pharmacies they have gone missing;

Thread should be cotton, or not impregnated with glue, and the design does not turn solid.

The thickness you choose to your liking. Remember you need only one thing: the thinner the yarn, the denser should be winding. With a thicker thread than Iris ball can be more filigree.

Everything has its little secrets. And for them, I’ll tell you.

Inflate balloons. We try to make them round.

In the future, when winding thread can be slightly adjusted form.

If you want to relieve yourself a little further their effort to extract from the finished balls burst balloons before they can be wound a little grease or vegetable oil or fat cream. But there is a BUT. Is wound in such a case, the thread will be more difficult, since they will slide over the ball. In general, with such a small amount of oil to put optional, but if you want to make a big ball, then this procedure, you can not avoid, because otherwise, it will necessarily when you pop the balloon.

We perform in a plastic container two holes thick needle.

There is also a nuance. The needle must not be much thicker filament. If the hole will be a very large, then the thread is too wet, the glue will flow down your arms. If the hole is too small, then the thread will be almost dry and the ball does not get strong.

Fill the glue in the container and begin to wind thread the beads. The winding should be dense, but too drag is not necessary because the ball will turn rough. Once dry the balls ready for several hours. The bigger, the better. Threads should not be just dry, but firm. If much can not wait, you can dry the hair dryer.

Then comes the long-awaited and most favorite moment! Bursting balls !!!

That’s what we’ve got: After that, everything is very simple. We put in the small gaps between the thread bulb garlands. For reliability can be secured with hot glue. Install the batteries and come up with your child a place for garlands!

Because of thread and glue, you can do a lot of interesting things. Shades and just beautiful things

How to create earrings in filigree technique

I am personally very inspired by her work, sometimes I dare to repeat her motives, but of course up to its level I still have to grow.

Today will tell and show you how to make my jewelry.

Create ornaments from polymer clay filigree technique or, in other words, the application requires: accuracy, patience, sense of color and skill.

To create a view of earrings we need:

metal base for earrings – 2 pcs;
* shvenzy – 2 pcs (I immediately took the assembled version of Basic);
* Bake polymer clay Fimo (in my opinion, it is best here). For the base colors that ar needed: blue with sparkles (I took Fimo Effect № 302), white and olive. For flowers chosen by mixing the following colors: rich pink, pink lighter, brownish-gold, cool green, dark red, light beige to yellowish. In the photo colors will be clearer.
* needle;
* stationery knife;
* solid smooth surface to work with clay (eg, tile);
and, of course, our pens 🙂
* Prerequisites: the purity of the hands and the work surface.

Let’s get started. Mixed colors for the base of the blue and white clay, roughly in proportions as in the photo.

After adding olive green clay. Adding it so much that in the end turned out here that color as celadon. Take the metal framework for earrings and get the ball. Now we need to share our ball exactly in half. To do this, we perform with a scoop of the following manipulations: The resulting halves of the roll into two balls.

Now we use our fingers and palm as much as possible. Take one ball is rolled it between his palms up

domestic fundamentals size and attached to it. So with the second ball.

Take the base with clay, the clay is pressed down the middle of the palm (where there is a small depression) and was equal to our clay finger on the edges of the frame (if necessary, crushing and rubbing a finger).It is important to make sure that the clay is even across the surface of the setting.
It is important to make sure that the clay is even across the surface of the setting.

We perform all also from the second base.

At a forum on needlework, I read that some people think that is the flat and smooth surface of the clay is obtained only by pre-baking or sanding. In my experience, if you do the things as mentioned above, the pre-baking or sanding is required. Of course, the presence of the setting of the base simplifies the smoothing process.

So we’ve got here are the “canvas” for creativity.

I have prepared in advance such sausages we need colors. Take the needle green, in an amount such that it was possible to roll a thin sausage for the longest branches of our “flowers of the tree.” Carefully take the sausage with a needle and using it and are putting our finger on the base of the twig. Use your fingernail to gently press down sausage along its entire length. In this way, we lay out all the “tree”, looking at the photos.

Repeat the process with the second substrate.

As a result, you should get something like this.

Flowers I put upwards. Bottom increasingly large flowers are placed on top – small. The first flower is red. Take the needle red clay. A small piece of clay slips into the palm of your finger. It is important that the clay was not homogeneous and crumbled! It should look like this. Take the needle and gently put on top of a “tree”, drawing from the middle to the end of the petals groove, thus pinning it to the base. Further, as we put each petal circle. At the end of the flower gently press down with your finger. We continue to put the flowers from the bottom up. Lower pink flowers we put a dark tint, top pink flower – light. Serdtsevinki flowers do with a small ball of clay and press down gently with your fingernail. All the flowers in place. The painting looks unfinished. Apply extra petals tinged color light corresponding to each. Prior to the full completion of the picture we put the leaves where they are appropriate, and we put the finishing touches in the form of small dots. The picture is ready! We perform just as well and the second earring.

Differences in earrings will always be because we are not robots 🙂 But they look harmonious.

There has come step baking clay. We put earrings on a glass surface (or foil) and place in the oven, preheated to 110 degrees for 15 minutes. It is important to set a timer or put the alarm clock.

Take out of the oven earrings and give them cool completely. You can put them in cold water for rapid cooling.

Now separate the frozen clay on a metal surface. Sometimes it moves, sometimes to hook your fingernail or a needle, main is done carefully and in an inconspicuous place (eg at the bottom of earrings).

Glue clay to a metal substrate using superglue or gel-adhesive polymer clay. It is important to apply the adhesive in a moderate quantity, so that when you press the glue leaked out.

After applying the adhesive on the metal base are putting on top of the clay and pressed gently with your finger. Give time to grab – for about three minutes. It is important to make the clay just right, as the reaction proceeds rapidly.

And earrings are ready!

Hopefully, the lesson was useful to you 🙂

Thank you for attention!

Best regards

Well, something to help beginners. It said loudly, that it will be a master class. I share what I can. Photographer I useless. Well, what happened, what happened. So … cut to form two cartons

Measured basis, divide the desired distance between the stanchions. If you can not without a trace, corrects the distance. I got 1,8sm. Normally, less is better. Postpones 1.8, starting from the center of the “heart” It turned out this way … I prepare the paper and more … The paper pasted on cardboard with white glue and left to dry. A bit dry and put under load, so as not curled hours on 12. The process of bonding is not removed, fascinated.
While the bottom of a dry, paint tubes. Expanding to dry and leave everything until the morning. And in the morning for a surprise. That such a result is obtained. Apparently, the tubes were caught from different parties. I hope that will be enough of a color. Clay “Titan” pasting tube Top pasting the front of the bottoms. The process of gluing napkins too missed. Well, not all at once. Decoupage do with the file. I put the napkin “face” down at the file, pour some water into the center of a little and start to lift the edges to Vodicka gradually distributed on a napkin and no wrinkles. I add a little brush continue to keep raise for all parties. Try to keep the water before the time has not got to the edge (tear). When there is only the edge unglued, helping brush.

Two hearts are glued together, too, putting under pressure until it sets. It is better to wait a little longer. Clay grabbed. I begin to braid rope bottom of a single row. I lift the rack and begin to weave a rope in the two tubes. Get out of shape, that’s what happened. The result is not pleased with what’s nose turned out. It was necessary to equate the braid after varnishing. close: in front of the two, in the third It remains the last three tubes. The first of them is bent before the two and slips under the first rack start crisscrossing. Second-on rising: before the third and the inside of the first braided basket for the second braided out by drawing Fotik agreed to work only to that frame. I had to finish without him. And it is you! This beauty blossomed in my yard, and I am very pleased.
