Round - not always bad
What is special about a box of cake? First - it is round. Such packaging is difficult to find in another performance. Usually it is the cakes are a form. The rest of disposable packaging is a rectangular format, and to work with it is not so interesting as a round. A second advantage of such a container - in a flat lid with reliable latch. The lid is very tight for the second part and has an interesting topography, whereby the base of the cake gets natural ventilation. It is a relief and makes the box of cake in such an unusual material for handicrafts. Finally, two of the boxes have different heights: the cover - the height of 12-14 cm and the bottom of a height not more than a couple of centimeters. All these features and suggest the use of a box of cake for an interesting alteration.
Making the foundation for shelves
For this phase of the work will require only a box of cake, scissors and masking tape.
The diameter of the box is not fundamentally important, but if you want to make it a three-dimensional shelf, take moreTransparent portion of the box should be cut exactly in half, and at the bottom of the cut off all tabs to get a perfect circle without protrusionsTwo parts: half and the base, you need to connect. Fixing is unreliable, as part of the castle will remain in the second half of the transparent part. For additional strength required to use masking tape. First you need to secure the 3-4 bars across, and then on the length of the seam to build more strip of adhesive tape
Using napkins decorating: simulation of forging
The second phase of alterations - dressing. The author proposes to use for this purpose PVA glue, paper towels, and the usual rope made of jute.
To work, you can use napkins or paper towels. If you take the towels, they should tear into strips for convenienceTowels need to wet the water and mash. Further shelves construction daubed PVA adhesive, superimposed on top napkin so as to form folds. Tissue cover layer need all parts of the structureNapkins stacked in random order. Top again need to go brush with glue. Then you need to give structure to dry completely. It will not be very fast, since the PVA on the plastic dries reluctantly. To accelerate the process by using the conventional dryerWhen the ground is dry, it can be done on patterns. First draw their marker on napkins is very simple to makeOn circuits apply a rope made of jute and fix it with hot glue. Rope have to be cut to pieces, but it's not terrible, the subsequent processing will make her look like a metal wrought wire. In ropes of jute expressed coils that give the product a natural look to the futureBasis for shelf ready. Besides jute, used for decoration and other items: an old brooch or something like thatYou can even use half of dried peas, they, in turn, will look like metal rivets. Pea glued with hot gluePreparation of the base ends of fastening device. In the author's version for this purpose we used a loop of the jute rope and a piece of a wine cork. All this is mounted on the hot glue
paint products under the life-shoeing
To all this billet had a finished look, you need to paint it. This phase will require the use of acrylic paint in three colors: black, green and gold, as well as the varnish on a water soluble basis. This coating can be bought in stores for needlework, but much cheaper than it would cost you, if you look at building supermarkets.
The first ink - black. It may be necessary to put it into two layers, so as not shone basis. Can be coated by brush or spongeSecond, a painting layer is placed after the main drying. Green paint should be applied to the tip of the brush with short strokesAfter the previous two layers applied gold paint. all projecting parts should be emphasized so that they began to play, becoming more visible. Gold should set off the components of the rope, and the edges of the relief structureWhen all the layers of paint to dry thoroughly, you can lock all the acrylic lacquer. It will give an extra shine throughout the productThat's what happens in the end. Assigned to the wall shelf can be a convenient repository of different thingsYou can store it in newspapers and magazines, to put in the hallway gloves and keys. If you wish, in a rack, you can even plant a flower, but the inside of the product will have to pave the film, so that when watering the water is not flowed through the wall
The idea of a shelf is very interesting and easy to perform. Even taking into account the time to dry layers of papier-mache and paint, can get away for a day off, if speed up the process by using a hair dryer.
And this option - not the only one. Out of the box on the cake can be made much more interesting things. For example, you are invited to one more idea in a workshop for the production of baskets for different needs:
And how do you like the idea of the author? We look forward to your comments and materials for the category "not a woman's business." Most workshops will necessarily be published.
