We renew the old chair in the technique of mosaic
Many designers approach the issue ecologicallyclean waste disposal from a creative side. What do people usually do with empty glass bottles? They fill them with liquids, collect them and hand them over to glass containers, and they are also loved by hooligans and ... designer Dina Fried! Dina offers a great way to decorate old furniture using pieces of any glass containers, mirrors and glass beads, laid out using the mosaic technique, created with your own hands.
An old, shabby chair after decorationturned into a stunning throne, playing in the sun with glare and releasing sun bunnies. Such an interior item will certainly become the centerpiece of any cottage, house or even apartment interior. About twenty brown and green beer bottles, one small mirror and several dozen glass beads (marbles) were used to create it.
The mosaic is pasted on all surfaces from all sidessides of the chair: in front, behind, on the sides, inside on the partitions. Even the necks and bottoms of bottles were used for decoration, becoming the central element of the pattern.
Hitting bottles with a hammer is ineffective and dangerousmethod, there is a lot of garbage and very sharp fragments left. Mosaic fragments should be cut out with a glass cutter in a circle - near the bottom and from above to the beginning of the narrowing of the bottle. The resulting almost cylinder is conveniently further cut lengthwise into strips approximately 3 cm wide, and these - into triangles and squares.
The mosaic must be glued with tile adhesive.Glass pieces from bottles are convex, the space needs to be filled with something so that they have contact with the surface. The edges of the mosaic pieces are not scratched, as they are under the grout.[ad#handmade_related_posts] The original master class on DIY furniture decor using mosaic technique can be read here.
