The master class will teach you how to make an odd bit of an asterisk of threads with your own hands
On the eve of the New Year holidays, I really want tostock up on beautiful and unusual decorations for the New Year's interior, the stores offer a huge range of New Year's decorations, but how you want to create something unusual and unique with your own hands. This master class describes how you can create original pendants for your New Year's tree, spending a minimum of materials and effort. So, for work we will need the following materials and tools:
- Knitting;
- Styrofoam;
- toothpicks;
- PVA glue;
- Universal adhesive Titan (Titan Wild);
- file (multife) for paper;
- a small bowl;
- pencil;
- brush;
- scissors.
First, let's draw a five-pointed star on the foam.
Now we will fix toothpicks in all corners of the star by simply sticking them into the foam.
Pour PVA glue into a bowl.
We dip a piece of thread into the glue and soak it well so that the glue covers the entire thread.
We fix the thread around the toothpicks so that it lies along the contour of the star drawn on the foam.
Next, we will need another piece of thread, which also needs to be soaked in PVA glue. We will place this thread inside the star, laying out an arbitrary openwork pattern.
When all the threads are laid on the foam, forming an openwork star, we will coat its surface with PVA glue and leave the star until the glue dries completely.
When the glue has completely dried, carefully remove the toothpicks from the foam.
Now you need to separate the threads of the openwork star from the foam, this must be done very carefully so as not to disturb the shape of the star.
We put the star on a stationery file and fill it with universal glue. And again we leave it until the glue dries completely.
Titan glue dries quickly enough that after just 15 minutes you can carefully separate the star from the file.
Now let's make a loop for our star, with which we can hang it on the Christmas tree. For the loop you will need a piece of thread, about 20 cm long.
We tie a thread at one of the points of the star.
The openwork star pendant is ready and can take its place on the New Year tree.
