With the advent of spring, the sun shines brighter, it becomeswarmer and blossom the first flowers. Probably, this time is the best for one of the most wonderful holidays - the Women's Day on March 8. The history of the spring women's holiday began around the first century BC. in Rome. In the great pantheon of deities, the spouse of Jupiter-Juno was especially prominent. She had many names, but Juno Lucia was revered by women especially. She patronized women, she was offered gifts and asked for mercy when they waited for the child or married. This day was dedicated to the goddess of the beginning of spring - the first of March. Women wove wreaths, beautifully dressed and came to the temple of this goddess. There they laid flowers on the altar, prayed and asked for family happiness. On this day even slaves celebrated and had fun, and all the work was done by men. The woman on this day gave gifts and tried in every possible way to make her happy. Another significant date was March 8. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was on March 8 in New York that the first manifestation of women working at the sewing and shoe factories took place. They demanded to make working conditions and wages equal to those of men. Before that day, women worked more than 16 hours, and received fewer times than men. This hot protest captured the whole world, and in the middle of the 20th century a new festive date appeared - March 8. The date of the spring women's holiday has slightly shifted, compared with the Roman, but the tradition of giving gifts has remained. Here it begins, it would seem, such an easy, but in fact very complicated matter - the choice of a gift. If you want to please your mother, grandmother, sister or lover with a beautiful and original gift, then it's best to do it yourself. Things hand made every year are becoming more popular, so this gift will please any woman. There are many decorations. Jewelry - from gold, silver and precious stones, costume jewelery from beads, crystals, rhinestones, feathers and even polymer clay. Lovers and both have one thing in common - all shiny and beautiful trinkets need to be stored somewhere. Here is a beautiful repository for jewelry we suggest to do in this master class. Caskets with egg shell texture Materials and tools:
- A small box with a lid;
- Shells from eggs;
- Pastel shades of coffee or old wood;
- Napkin with a picture;
- Soft brush;
- Colors acrylic (white and black);
- PVA glue;
- A piece of sponge made of foam rubber with fine pores;
- White primer.
First you need to cover the boxprimer. While it dries up the eggshell it is necessary to divide it into small pieces. Now carefully glue them PVA, lay out one by one. Adhesive glue box. You do not need to press hard, you can break it. We arrange the pieces fairly tightly and lay out the mosaic. When the whole box is covered it is necessary to apply one more layer of glue. When the glue dries, cover the workpiece with a layerwhite acrylic paint. The next stage is the most difficult. We begin to decorate the future casket in the technique of decoupage. For this we need a napkin with a beautiful pattern. To do this, separate the top layer of the napkin with the image. It is very thin, so handle it carefully. The layer of paint by that time has already dried up, so we boldly cover the casket with PVA glue and glue the napkin layer with the pattern. We start the work with a soft brush from the center and move to the edges. Again, cover with a layer of PVA glue.
Now it's the turn of the last stage - painting. For this dark brown shade, crumble into a powder and rub your fingers in the casket. Using a sponge, apply the black paint on the ribs of the casket. We are waiting for complete drying, and it is ready. Along with decorating, women have a weakness for sweets. To make an unusual gift in the form of sweets is very easy and simple, thanks to the original kind of packaging. The popularity of the suite of design is growing every day, and in this master class we offer you to make such a beautiful and delicious gift. And if usually candies serve as the heart of flowers, then here we will make not only crafts in the style of suites design, it will turn out to be very unusual and original. A berry of raspberry from sweets.
Materials and tools:

- Thin scotch tape;
- Glue;
- Wire;
- Toothpicks;
- Artificial leaf with petiole (two leaves are preferable);
- Scissors and tools for working with wire (pliers, nippers, round pliers).
The first stage is the creation of a foundation. If you have chosen a foam or foam foam, then glue the rectangular layers, folding them one by one. Now, from this pile, you need to cut out a piece shaped like an egg with a flatter blunt side. In general, give the shape of a raspberry fruit. When the base is cut, we put it aside and start to take the candy. On small pieces of wire at one end we make a loop. We bend it perpendicularly to the rest of the wire. We fasten this loop to the candy with the help of a strip of scotch. Now cut the paper into squares so that they can wrap up the candy in them. The edges are fastened together with an adhesive tape around the wire tail. Cut out the uneven corners of the paper (see photo).
Now comes the turn of organza. From it we will do the fobs - small elements that mask the gaps between the candies. For this organza we cut into squares. The size of the square is determined by the height of the candy. Now it is necessary to fold it in half diagonally and make two more folds so that the edges of the square are offset. Now, using a strip of narrow tape, we use a toothpick with a toothpick. Now, when all the elements are ready, we start to create a berry of candy. On the broader and more flat part of the foam piece, we glue the sheets, fill the rest of the space with sweets and pancakes, sticking the wires and toothpicks into the workpiece. Malinka is ready. Such a sweet gift is sure to please the woman on her holiday. Another love of women are flowers. None of the spring women's holiday can not do without a beautiful bouquet, basket or even a wreath.

In the center of the resulting heart, we tie a loop of threads. Now proceed to decorating our workpiece with roses. Best for these purposes are fine buds.
