One of the simplest and most accessible materials forcreativity is a regular eggshell. We eat chicken eggs almost every day, which means that this material is almost daily at our fingertips. If you set a goal to create cute crafts from the shell, then in a very short time you can collect the required amount. If you approach the execution of works made with your own hands more professionally, then it is better to use for crafts shells that have not undergone heat treatment. The shell from a raw egg will not lose its hardness and its surface will remain smoother. If you plan to create a craft, such as a children's applique, then the shell of boiled eggs, especially Easter eggs, which are pre-painted in different colors, is quite suitable.First, the robots need to be properly prepared.necessary material. It is necessary to take the eggshells that we managed to collect and wash them well with warm water. Although in order to disinfect them well, it would be better to prepare a boiling solution of water with soda and lower them into it for a while. After that, it must be dried thoroughly, having previously removed the film from the shell that is inside. If it was painted, it should be sorted by color. Now everything is ready to make a craft from this material using the "mosaic" technique. This can be a wall panel or a handmade jewelry box, a photo frame or any other decorative element that you have in mind.From additional tools and materials atWhen working with egg shells, you may need - tweezers, a brush, PVA glue, cardboard. To press the shell while working, choose a small wooden stick. For example, this can be a stick that you use when doing a manicure. If the shell is not painted, and the craft is not supposed to be white, you will need acrylic paints, varnish. And, of course, the base itself, on which you will work. Taking the first steps in such a creative process, it is better to try to make an ordinary applique first. We make a template of the drawing that we want to make on a cardboard base. Then we grease a small fragment of the intended drawing with glue and put pieces of shell on top of the glue, pressing with a wooden stick. If the pieces of shell are small, it is enough to press very lightly, larger pieces, when pressed with a stick, will crack themselves and disintegrate into small ones. In this case, you need to ensure that the distance between the shells is approximately the same. Having completed this fragment, we proceed to the next one. When all the work is finished, we let the glue dry completely. Now we can start painting the drawing. Finally, we cover it with varnish.In this way, you can create any crafts from shells, making all your fantasies come true.
