Do-it-yourself easter eggs
Easter is one of the most beautiful holidays among believers. To mark it in an original way, you can make your own Easter symbol - a decorative egg. It will be an ideal gift option for loved ones and friends, especially since the process of its creation is completely uncomplicated.
The first option is with a balloon
The easiest way to make an Easter egg is by pasting a balloon. To work, you will need:
- ball of the required size of the "egg" shape;
- beads, ribbons, lace, rhinestones, other decor - optional;
- threads
- needle;
- PVA glue;
- disposable cup;
- cream (any);
- scissors.
First you need to inflate the ball, tie it well with a thread. Next, its surface should be coated with cream so that it becomes greasy, and at the end of the work, the workpiece is easily removed from the base.
Glue is poured into a glass. Thread the needle, pierce the cup so that it stretches through the glue and lubricates it. This thread is wrapped around the ball in a dense layer, the thickness of which is determined independently.
When the workpiece reaches a sufficient density, it is left to dry by installing on a stand. As they dry, they pierce the ball, carefully pull it out through the hole below. Then proceed to decorate the workpiece as prompted by fantasy, using beads, ribbons, bows, stickers, lace, rags. You can also cut a larger hole and put a stuffed chicken toy inside.
to contents ↑The second option - with foam
Easter crafts can be made using polystyrene foam, from which an egg is cut in accordance with the desired size. Also required for work:
- threads
- PVA glue;
- safety pins;
- cellophane;
- any decoration for decoration.
The foam blank is well sanded to make it smooth. From above it is covered with cellophane or cling film - so the threads will be easily removed.
Needles are stuck around the perimeter in random order in several rows: this is necessary for a beautiful arrangement of threads. At first, it is enough to stick the pins on only one side, because the workpiece will need to be carefully removed.
After the work procedure is as follows:
- moisten the threads with PVA glue;
- wrap the workpiece over the pins with a zigzag pattern, starting from the outer edge to the inside;
- after filling one side, coat the threads again with glue;
- leave the craft to dry;
- remove the pins;
- to free the future "shell" from foam blanks;
- repeat all the steps for the other side;
- glue the finished halves of the threads together;
- cover the junction with a beautiful ribbon, putting it on PVA;
- use a variety of decor, lace to decorate crafts, stick a loop of ribbon on top.
Craft egg with threads for knitting
For this craft, you will need threads for knitting different colors - optional. Also, the creation of an Easter egg will not do without the following devices and materials:
- PVA glue;
- scissors;
- colored paper;
- plastic egg.
It is most convenient to work with an egg made of plastic, but in its absence you can take an ordinary chicken, however, because of fragility, you will have to work more carefully. The egg must be pierced on both sides, blow out the contents, then rinse the workpiece and dry. The whole egg must be greased with PVA, take the thread by the tip and, pressing it with your fingers, wind it onto the workpiece. You can use threads of different colors, so the finished product will be more interesting.
Periodically, it is necessary to grease the threads with glue so that they are firmly held on the egg. After filling the entire workpiece, it is left to dry. Then you can cut a muzzle, pens and legs from colored paper, a different decor for an egg to make a unique craft. In the manufacture of Easter eggs you need to give free rein to imagination, and then they will come out original and very cheerful!
