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 great natural material for the production of decorative and fully functional dishes, for example, vases for fruit. This cup looks unusual, and make it your ownhands is very simple! The main thing is to buy a good non-toxic adhesive for dishes in the hardware store, good, at the present time the choice is quite diverse. For starters - the most pleasant part of the workerprocess - invite friends to beer with pistachios and polish pieces of 100-200 nuts. Since all shells are in salt, it is desirable to remove it before gluing. For this purpose, the whole shell can be boiled a little. shape of the future vase you can give as your own hands, and use already prepared dishes of any shape. Previously, the dish - the mold should be covered with parchment paper, so as not to soil and easily separate the vase from the shell. Approximately a tablespoon of glue is mixed with the shells, then the formed mixture is molded by hand or poured into pre-prepared dishes. We give the desired shape and let it dry for a couple of hours. The vase should be carefully inspected and felt to identify weak points where there is little glue. We paste them again, again we dry (to accelerate the process you can use a hair dryer) and immediately invite friends to juice with fruit in a new vase! Photos: homedit
