After Easter holiday, you do not need to throw off the painted shell from eggs. It can replace mosaic elements. Egg shell can decorate various interior items, from plates and vases, to paintings and countertops. Create works of art from eggshell, while conducting joint classes with children, you can even have special skills. The technology is very simple, just stick the shell on the decorated item and cover it with varnish.
If you do not have a painted shell, do not be upset. You can use the shell from raw eggs, rinse it, remove the inner films and dry it. You can paint the shell with liquid acrylic paints, they lie down well and dry quickly.
For example, you can make a panel. We go out a plastic plate, primer it and stain black.
In order to translate the drawing to the black surface, if there is no light copy, then print the desired pattern from the computer, turn the sheet and rub it with chalk. Then we remove the excess chalk and put this side on the plate, attaching the drawing with tape so that the drawing does not fade. We translate the drawing.
Since all chalk switches to the surface of the plate, the pattern is circled again with a gel pen, then remove the rest of the chalk with a dry rag.
Now the surface of the plate is ready for applying mosaics. Glue the shell well on PVA glue. Glue is applied to a small section of the plate, then we begin to lay the shell according to the pattern with tweezers. At first it seems that it is difficult. In fact, this is not more difficult to embroidery with a cross.
After the mosaic is glued and dried, the surface is covered with several layers of acrylic varnish.
Perform such joint classes with children – very interesting.
