Vase for fruit with your own hands: do not throw away the shells
Shells of pistachios, peanuts or other nutscan be not just annoying garbage, but also a wonderful natural material for making decorative and quite functional dishes, for example, a fruit vase.
This bowl looks unusual, but it’s hard to make itIt's very easy to do it yourself! The main thing is to buy a good non-toxic glue for dishes in a hardware store, fortunately, nowadays the choice is quite diverse.
First of all, the most enjoyable part of workprocess - invite friends for beer with pistachios and shell 100-200 nuts. Since all the shells are in salt, it is advisable to remove it before gluing. For this purpose, you can boil the whole shell a little. You can give the shape of the future vase either with your own hands or use ready-made dishes of any shape. First, the dishes - the mold will need to be covered with parchment paper so as not to stain and easily separate the vase from the shell. Mix about a tablespoon of glue with the shells, then mold the resulting mixture with your hands or pour it into a pre-prepared dish. Give the desired shape and let it dry for a couple of hours. The vase should be carefully examined and felt to determine weak spots where there is little glue. We glue them again, dry them again (to speed up the process, you can use a hair dryer) and immediately invite friends for juice with fruit in a new vase!Photos: homedit
