How to make cactus shaped jewellery organizer
I suggest you do here is a cactus shaped jewellery organizer
To begin with we need corrugated cardboard, scissors, pencil and sketch.
The sketch can be found ready or draw itself, it we outline and cut two mirror blanks.
Height – 20 cm.
Third blank outlines departing 5 mm from the edge, also leaves a “stem” cactus.
From the remnants of cardboard cut into squares 1 x 1 cm. Then we need to glue and paint brush.
Sticking to one of the little pieces of our squares, smeared with glue and glued to a big blank, put under pressure, waiting. At this time, you can tear the paper for the next stage. The size of the strips approximately 1.5 x 6 cm.
We took out blank, turn over and do the same thing on the other side. It turns out the three-layer “sandwich”. Put under the press.
Important: Use is not very liquid glue to avoid excess moisture, or glue on foam double sided tape, then squares-layer and press are no longer needed.
Now we fining our billet in the traditional papier-mache. To do this, use a slightly diluted PVA glue with water or cooked paste.
The first layer of coated paper so that the paste over the edges of a cactus, hide emptiness. The second layer – paper towels / napkins. Third – office paper. We tear it smaller. If you are having difficulty pasting this paper, it is possible to moisten it lightly with the spray.
Now workpiece must dry.
Next we need: can, styrofoam, hot glue and plaster / stucco.
Bend “leg”, apply the adhesive gun and “planting” a cactus in a jar. Exactly exhibit.
Fill the jar with pieces of foam can be a bit on the pieces drop of hot glue to securely mate with a can.
Then we plant the plaster according to the instructions and fill in the bank.
Now we have to wait. Plaster hardens quickly, but dries slowly.
Important: This step can be safely skipped. The foam is needed only for the product has not been severe.
“Planting” cactus in the bank can be and after painting.
After all dried up, proceed to the coloring and decoration.
Take one tablespoon with the top of the acrylic putty, add to it one teaspoon of emerald-colored gouache and a tablespoon of PVA glue, everything is thoroughly mixed. We get the consistency of thick cream. Apply a broad brush from top to bottom. The proposed mixture gives the product strength and smoothes irregularities.
Sushim.
Important:
For Kids: Do not use a spoon, which you eat!
Domeshivayte adhesive plaster, and not vice versa, so that consistency is uniform.
Try to mix first a small amount, because sometimes the materials may not be “friends” and the mass will be curtailed.
The paint on this point, you can not add. Gouache can be replaced with acrylic paints.
Dry first layer may be lightly sanded. Then we put a thick layer of weight again. Special stack or disposable fork grooves do. You can apply here and other techniques of creating relief.
Dry them.
Nail polish remover (it takes a good glue) degreasing pot. Mix green and yellow, you can not very well, we put a sponge color. Add some white and apply a second coat. This staining technique gives a more complex and natural color.
Now colorable.
We collect a small amount on the brush and paint as if dusting :-) Each new layer is made lighter. Pay more attention to one side of the cactus, immtiruem natural light.
Important: stained dry brush perpendicular to the texture: not along, and across.
The tool allows you to put the DOTS neat point. If you do not have it, use the back of the brush.
The same color can make a fine sprayed with an old toothbrush.
Important: To the point were beautiful, the paint must be sufficiently liquid, but do not overdo it!
Manipulation with cactus most likely it shattered. Hot glue strengthen base paint.
Then we paint the pot. Thin long brush will easily draw a thin line.
Important: Almost dry brush with brown paint tronte and the top of a cactus. So you’re “friends” with the color of the color cactus pot.
After that, cover the paint job. The one in the photo, has a sharp smell, so lachit need on the street.
Now decorate sisal or raffia.
Raffia spinning, Apply hot glue presses.
We select the appropriate color button. Please click pierces the place where it will take out the dripping hot glue to the hat, glue. Making the “thorn” from both sides.
Important: needle length keys should be less than the thickness of a cactus.
At an early stage it would be possible to stop, but in the bins there were fluffy foam balls, which I taped, utopia button.
Thank you for this purpose can use the large beads. Also for the cactus flower was prepared, but it is overworked, had to abandon the flowering)))
