Sometimes in life there come moments whenI want to do something unusual and interesting. In order to make an original gift for someone close to me or someone close to me. After all, there is nothing better than a gift than a handmade craft made of fabric.If you have a new and original ideaThis is very good, because this moment is considered one of the most important in working with a craft. After all, if you think about it, great paintings are just ordinary paints and canvas, and architectural structures are ordinary stones. These things are brought to perfection by masters and sometimes even ordinary people who have a good idea. Of course, you should not aim for great masterpieces, but it will be enough to please yourself and your loved ones with original crafts that will bring a lot of positive emotions.Even when we were in school, during lessonsdrawing and work we were constantly taught to cut, paint, glue, trace and so on. And sometimes even teachers gave the basics of embroidery for girls, and the basics of sawing for boys. Why not remember these skills now? To begin with, you can consider the simplest, but at the same time interesting crafts. At home, you can make crafts with your own hands from fabric or eggshells.If only the great masters of past centuries knew aboutwhat kind of crafts can be made in our time they would simply die of envy. You can make your own mosaic panels and decorate your kitchen with them, and you can make this panel from eggshells that are left over from breakfast. Here you don’t need any special skills at all and it will be enough to just be patient and try to work carefully. It is not difficult to make this forgery, because you will be painting already glued shell fragments. This technique came from France, and it is called “crackle”.So where do you start?First, you need to prepare the original leaves and their shelf life, one might say, has no limits. The sheet will need to be covered with PVA glue and put pieces of shell on it. Beforehand, these pieces should be well washed and cleaned from the film. If you think that drawing is not your thing, then you can glue napkins to the background of the mosaic, and then cover them with varnish. You will get a work done in a very interesting technique called decoupage.If you don't want to mess around for a long time, and alsoIf you don't have a suitable drawing, the original sheet can become not only the background, but also the material for the panel. You will need to draw an outline with a regular pencil, and then cut out this outline with manicure scissors. It is best to start cutting from the back of the sheet. Original crafts will turn out if you do not work with a simple sheet with a bottle or a plate. In order to make an unusual background for the craft, you need to take a separate sheet and cut out pieces from it. The dimensions should be slightly larger so that there is a gap between the shell, the background and the fragments. Coloring will be the next step.Probably many people know that acrylic paintsare not afraid of moisture and water at all, and when drying, they begin to create a fairly strong and elastic film. Such paints are perfect for painting your crafts and are very easy and interesting to work with. You can also paint your own fabric crafts with these paints. It is advisable to paint with strokes and at the same time you need to try to paint each piece of the mosaic separately. After you have carefully painted the craft, you will need to leave it for some time to dry. After that, the entire work can be covered with black paint and then wiped well with a cloth.
