decorate a vase mosaic 1

A simple glass vase can be decorated with transparent glass mosaic squares. They are transparent and colored squares can be folded patterns. And as the clear vase, by the bits of glass is not necessary to use grout: shiny faces squares reinforce the impression of the beauty transparent vase. Transparent windows are larger and fewer in combination create a beautiful ornament.

1. Measure the circumference of the vase and cut out a circle of paper or the cone of a size to match the size of the vase. Then wrap the vase of paper and draw a pattern on it.

2. Remove and paper outline the contours of the figure – in this example, the wave crests. Thus prepared stencil cut out with scissors.

3. Template glue in several places with tape. Smyvatelnym marker or pencil outline the contour of the stencil to the vase.

4. Stencil take off and expand on it mosaic squares. Whitecaps emphasize smaller colored stones. Large transparent set for them.

5. Under vase enclose a towel to keep it rolled and begin to glue the mosaic. Clay for mosaics or synthetic universal transparent glue for glass (UHU) smear on a little piece of a vase and immediately attach the box.

6. Mosaic sticking, following the curve of the wave. On the ridge, we put small colored squares, the very large set wave.

7. Sticking a few centimeter bands and, before the vase to turn to continue to glue the next, should be left to dry pasted squares. Immediately after gluing boxes can still be moved (eg a toothpick) to find the right place.

8. If there is a gap, fill it in smaller pieces. The curved part of the vase cover the large squares. Chance for variety inserts colored glass.

How to make heart shape box

Heart 1

With this heart, I was going to participate in the competition “generous heart”. It so happened that I had done and pictures of the process on the last day of work for the competition. It – heart box-box, which can be stored for very different small things. And here’s a surprise! This tiny origami hearts. And these little notes with very necessary, Required Materials:
1. Ready-made heart shaped box.
2. Corrugated.
3.Craft paper for sketches (80 g and 200 g).
4. Sacking.
5. Jute twine.
6. PVA glue.
7. White inkpad.
8. Punchers embossed “Buttons” with a diameter of 13 mm and 25 mm.
9. Scissors.

I was like this snow-white heart box. It is a small box of a set of 3 boxes, dolls of cardboard beer. It is a very long time waiting in the wings. I still could not figure out how and why to issue it. And then an art project, a competition, and the idea has earned! I start with a surprise. I wanted to make little origami hearts of kraft paper for sketches (80 g). Folding.Here is the . I square 5×5 cm. Ready hearts tinted white ink pad. I really like these hearts! We with my students often do them. The heart has a pocket where you can put a note, souvenir or sweetness. However, I was the slightly pasted hearts front flap to the inner corner to the pocket has become more formalized. And the side corners folded differently. In the original MK proposed bend them back, and I replaced these folds with a “recessed inward” and too little glue. It prints on the same kraft paper, which makes up the hearts, the most important words. Cut the sheet into rectangles 5h3,5 cm so that each piece was one word. Twist rectangle tubes, the ends of the smoked white pad and put on a note in every heart. On the front side of each heart pasted a piece of burlap 2×2 cm. Because of kraft paper for sketches weight of 200 g cut down the little buttons using a hole punch embossed “Buttons” with a diameter of 13 mm. Glue them to the stiffness of 3 pieces pile and also smoked. He slipped into the holes thin jute twine … … And bandaged hearts. That’s how it looks from the other side. Ready hearts. I estimate the cover design of heart boxes. From the sheet of packaging, cardboard cut out the heart, circling the box cover. I smoked white pad. I have no retail box (large) corrugated board and more shallow. This sheet was embedded in some packages, I do not remember from under that. To sustain style folded another heart origami from the same paper (9×9 cm square). Also, I smoked. Attach a piece of burlap 4×4 cm. Has made  a button with a diameter of 2.5 cm (glued together 5 pieces) smoked. He slipped into the holes buttons thick jute twine and tied a bow. I tried “wrap” the heart of twine (slipped the ends of pieces of string under a layer of cardboard). Liked. I decided to add three small buttons, as heart-surprises. They must first “sew” crosswise thin twine, glue the ends on the wrong side buttons. The end cap pasted strip of corrugated cardboard, ink pad walked on slices. Samu box also plastered strip  and tied with string. Now you’re done! Heart box is empty. And then, finally, Surprise hearts take their place! Boll is not filled to the top, so you can add to it more and more hearts!

Holiday generous heart is almost over, and I’m just showing my work. But to love and to express their feelings do not just a holiday! The heart is never too much! And words, the main, it is necessary, too many do not happen in this moment!

Love and giving the most important words to those who are dear to you every day!

How to make beautiful lamp house

Lamp house from the fact that the hand 1

This master class is not exactly step by step, it is more to replenish the piggy bank of ideas than a recipe creativity.

To work on a lamp-house “of what is at hand,” we will approach:

-Let the packaging of juice or milk
-Paint scotch or ordinary scotch
-gips (Alabaster)
-what remained of repairs or specially purchased (in my case ready acrylic plaster)
-Paul tube of any diameter and material, the main thing that took place inside the cord. (in my case a plastic piece of small-diameter pipe – a fragment of the old exhibition cages for cats)
-level
– cups
-gypsy bandage (the number depends on the size of the future building)
-Let plastic bottle (in my case green)
-plastic scissors
– food film
-PVA
– rope
– stack (can be improvised from wooden skewers, for example) for the convenience of working with plaster and plaster bandage
-water to soak the bandage
-acrylic colors for the final finishing of the building
-lack (in my case, matt parquet ) in terms of manufacturing – they are individual, is largely dependent on your skill, the size of the house, and the degree of “fluid” a plaster base and bandage. At all stages of the construction of the house, you inevitably soak it with water. And after the new operation will have to wait for it to dry, for example, painting and finishing. While you’re working with plaster, bandage or plaster, you can proceed to new stages without waiting for complete drying. But the finish is possible only completely dry the product. My house is big and cox long.
Ideally – 1 day to assemble the entire structure (if the house is not great), and a half a day to dry, and 3-4 hours for painting. Recommendations to accelerate drying: finishing work at any stage prior to painting, leave your workpiece on a thick layer of paper towels or wipes. Gypsum is very hygroscopic. And because the water always tends to flow down, you will inevitably and, at times a long time (a few days) can be wet plaster base and the lower part of the walls. Napkins speed up the drying process. 1. Make a lamp base for this stage I do not have a visual image, so explain the essence of the words. From the usual clay completely any color makes a long sausage. Sausages flattened, closable in the ring and out of the circle forming the perimeter of the foundation of our future plaster casting.  It is set firmly on any flat surface, I use an ordinary kitchen table, the laid cling film, for the convenience of the base separated from the surface of the countertop. Once we found our path pouring over level ground, breed alabaster in the cup and got solution pour mold. At this stage, I fixed the plastic tube, just dropping it into another liquid plaster and lining on a level, fixed until dry. Plaster hardens very quickly, but the handset is not yet to be firmly fixed on the basis of its further strengthening strips of plaster bandage, Then we wait when the ground is dry and you can build a house. Drying depends on the size, thickness, and on how much liquid you have dissolved gypsum. Building a house can be in principle, and without waiting for the complete drying, we can wait for a sufficient strength. When the blank has cooled (gypsum always heated during solidification), you can shoot a plasticine ledge and continue to work. The photo and the blank gripped plasticine standing on a ledge, which was filmed with her.

2. The walls and roof – are building a frame house
to the frame of the building, we need empty packages of juice or milk, paint, or ordinary adhesive tape to fasten the structure.
The packaging mark up the windows and doors, suitable for our taste roof and collect all the items on the tape, checking evenness level design.
The walls are attached to the base by means of strips of plaster bandage. Next outside our construction glue on the adhesive tape pieces of plastic bottles in the window openings and paste our whole design first layer of plaster bandage.

3. House decoration

My house in half-timbered style, so the next phase of the I form the characteristic form of half-timbered houses of folded strips of plaster bandage. Making the layout frame as thin strips of plaster bandage. At this point, I handed the cord, as I yield to the cord of the lamp side and after the finish, there was a risk that I will not be able to push it. Cord fix with tape and wrapped his masking tape to avoid staining.

after starting a sketch of the layout wall plasterer. I use a simple, soft brush. Plaster wall background levels. And the layout of wooden beams I put longitudinal strips to simulate wood on wet plaster.
When ready, our primary frame with the finish, you can do the roof. It is also of plaster bandage. plastic material can be simulated tile or cane to make a variety of ways. 4. Gardens bloom When our house is ready, we need to decorate it with flowers, make a trail of pebbles and grass surrounding the house. I buzz your house roses. For branches, I take economically twisted rope. On the glue PVA glue pieces of rope, simulating climbing roses, to the walls of our house. Further, from a plaster bandage an emerging green, roses, grass around the house. To track our plaster in handy again. We impose her plump layer, level and causes notches in the form of individual stones. Now we wait for the complete drying. At the same stage electrician install, anchoring cartridge on the tube, decorate its base. And we do the first fitting lampshade. 5. Painting and final finish.
I liked my house at all stages of the final. And in white color with a white shade. Then it was painted black for further decoration. But in black with silver-steel shade, it looked great.
For painting, I use acrylic paint for interior and Color. For small areas fit and artistic acrylic paint. The finishing decor was made of bronze with acrylic paint using a sponge from the sponge for washing dishes. After complete drying of the house was covered with parquet matt varnish
Fabric Lampshade I toned coffee solution with PVA. Now, not only the desired shade of tone but also runs the flavor.

Enjoy your creativity and new ideas!

How to decorate bottle “Little House”

Decoration bottle Little House 1

Required Materials decorating bottles:

1. Bottle

2. The self-hardening modeling paste on the air.

3. Ground.

4. Acrylic paint

5. Bed

6. The varnish bitumen and lacquer on wood.

7. The adhesive liquid nails.

8. Latex putty.

9. Patience.

10. A bunch of ancillary material, which is we need for every kind of decoration.

 

Getting Started!

1. Take a bottle, from which we are going to do beauty. I have a small bottle of 100 ml. From bottle to decorate, remember, the longer the bottle, so it will be harder in the end! Were washed, stripped from it all labels, remove the traces of its past 🙂 then degreased her squeaky. And here we get a clean bottle!

2. Then uncork pack your clay … it can be a variety of pasta. I have tried many, many, can do a separate review of pasta 🙂 But I will not, until … Well, take the pasta and make a cake thickness of 0.5 cm – much as possible, but thinner is not particularly recommended the paste dries crack. 3. Roll out the cake bottle with a rolling pin. 4. Then this bottle tortilla wrap.5. Excess tear off, cut and crush fingers, and then Roll the little bottle with the paste.
6. Then take the cap off the bottle, it will we do windows 7. After forcing necessary to remove the paste – to dig, so to speak. How you do it does not matter, I do it with a palette knife. 8. Next, cut out the door. Well, the rest of the windows, and we get just such a thing: 9. The door, which cut not throw out. Her I decorate separately. You can do it in a different way, but directly in this bottle, I’m doing it! There is at my such things, they are not required, but doing the workplaces easier and more fun 🙂 Here I do not have photos, I laminated places the bottle on a blue plaque with floral ornament, and here was such a texture on the bottle itself. This time, I forgot to take pictures! 10. Then, my house shall be a roof. Her I do, forming a thick sausage and wrapped around the neck. Crush with your fingers, get the “mushroom hat”. Hold your fingers, crush hat and bottom. 11. Then, take the tool, I have this tool on a tree, but I think that any angled  do the task just as well. And start doing the roof. I will not describe, look at photos, I think it is clear that if the inquiry.

12. By the same principle do canopies over windows.

13. Next, I wanted to have this house were beams. The final project is not, therefore, do everything for the dictates of the heart!

Chop a long stick on the beam, it is desirable that they were approximately equal, and stuck on the roof.

14. All are now allowed to dry for a day. It can be more. At first, until the paste dries, glances, some pasta pop very much. But then I tell you about methods of struggle with the cracked product location.

15. The evening of the second day, and I view the loss!

Here,  one of the peaks in the window. To this end, I have liquid nails. visor attaching adhesive and pressed down. Checked, will hold a bang. Moreover, this adhesive can then be covered with paint.

16. Excess adhesive remove. A further view, where there is a crack.

17. Here, it became clear that such defect should be clean. And we do it with latex filler. Because sometimes you have to put putty in remote places, I go it’s “shoving” syringe without a needle, of course, but it turns out very handy!

Then, crush fingers, smooth that came to hand, I have this latex paintbrush.

18. Stage primer. I’m a different soil house. At this time, I take a black ground. And proceed to the primer. Brush leaves the band, especially noticeable on large surfaces, so I bottle body sponge of soil and roof in a remote place with a brush, there are extra relief stripes – we are not a hindrance!

We get an absolutely black bottle! 19. We continue to paint. Now I take just such a green acrylic. Acrylic dries quickly. While I paint, it dries on the brush, and not to run into the bathroom and wash the brush without end, leave them to soak in a jar of water, and the very next take the brush. So, the green paint. Solid is not painted, in some places, and it turns out: 20. Then I put or render a surface, without rubbing white primer. 21. Coloring roof. They are red, you may have a different color. 22. Then take the bronze  and thinly bronze acrylic, so that the apparent texture of the bottle. Excess paint on the brush palette and rented on any unnecessary piece of paper. 23. Now remember that the pipes in the house no. Ah … it is necessary to fix it! Bottle drying, lipid pipe. In a similar manner as a bottle. Just expand on masonry. 24. Then, take an old toothbrush and attach the texture of bricks … Well, can not they be smooth in our old fairy house!
Then try on pipe-stopper on the bottle and change in its sole discretion. I, for example, wanted her little “grimaced.” I have so much fun. It turns out this way. 25. Now take my favorite bitumen varnish. When I opened it the first time, he turns up his nose, saying that stinking of varnish is not met. And now nothing at all to me, and it does not smell that strange 🙂 26. I start from the top down, that is, from the roof. I put or render a varnish, and then take off the excess with a cloth, lightly feathered at the same time!

27. Leaving the bottle dry. Maybe the whole night, and I can get to it late at night.

28. toning pastels bottle, pick up the color I needed … and more!

29. Then take the cloth and rub clean excess pigment.

30. Then again taking bronze and allocate some space.

31. Then take the path and acrylic windows make the house. Circuit dries fairly quickly, but it is better to leave him alone for a few hours. And then spend it the line, and then when working with the product accidentally smashes … not tell how long it will go to fix 🙂

32. About the plug will not tell apart, it is clear that it passes all stages, as well as the bottle.

33. Then, the windows can be painted, and can be left as is, it is as you like 🙂 To paint the windows need a stained glass paint color that wishes your soul – the main thing that they were transparent.

34. cover the entire bottle of varnish or, as they say, professionals, reverse polish (I hearing this expression cuts, so everything is in a rural). And I leave it to dry for the time specified in the instructions.

The varnish I take the tree. Look, I specially photographed icons in the lacquer. This paint does not smell. It’s important for me. 35. After drying varnish I stick to the leaf mounting adhesive. It keeps well and becomes transparent when dry. And best of all – an assessment of the result!  And as the light of the windows, when viewed against the light.I think if you are in trouble with the electronics, it is possible to come up with a small battery-powered light bulb, then the house will be light. And so, quite a functional bottle turned out. It is possible to pour something, well, a tube or roll a note 🙂
