How to make space in the bank?

The glow of stars in the dark night sky, the milky way, mysterious planets. .. Since ancient times, they attracted people, awakened the imagination, generated legends. And even now, thanks to powerful telescopes, astronomers have managed to find out what is at a distance of many light years from the Earth, the vast expanses of the Universe remain mysterious and distant. But you can put a piece of starry sky on your shelf or give it to one of your friends. How to make space in the bank? Now we will discuss this.

We are looking for a vessel

To make the space in the bank with our own hands, you need a transparent vessel. For the manufacture of such souvenirs are not suitable for all materials, and from one-time plastic cups, even though their walls are perfectly visible contents, it is better to immediately refuse. Such a "space" will turn out to be very fragile - it is worth squeezing it, how it will crumble, or everything that is in it will pour out. Hermetically close such a shell will not succeed, so you are only suitable for what is made of colorless glass:

• light bottles of drugs;
• baby food jars;
• jam jam, jam, tomato paste;
• small bottles of lemonade or juice;
• chemical cookware.

The amount of glycerin depends on the volume of the vessel. How to make space in the bank without glycerine, you also learn, but it's better to use this substance, it's better to get it is not a problem - it is sold in a pharmacy and is very cheap. By the way, for your space, this bottle also fits.

Important! It will be very interesting to look at the cosmos in a chemical dish. The flasks and test tubes are just perfect for this, especially if you have other rarities in the apartment, which testify to the love of the hosts for science - pharmacy scales, a telescope.

What else is needed?

The vessel must be filled with something to make the dark sky, the Milky Way, the stars and planets. For all this, you will need:

• wadding;
• glycerol;
• multicolored sequins;
• small dark beads or beads - if desired;
• bugle;
• food coloring or other paint soluble in water;
• glue gun.

Preparing the vessel

The shell of your miniature space should be perfectly clean. Therefore, the first thing to do is how to wash the jar. Pay special attention to the neck - there sometimes remain clots of dirt, even if the vessel itself is clean. Drying is not necessary - you will still pour water there, but a paper label or inscriptions on the vessel itself( sometimes they are on jars with medicines) must be erased.

Important! If the letters can not be erased in any way - well, we'll have to disguise them. Spread the entire jar or problem area and roll in sequins.

Do the Milky Way

Before you make a jar with the cosmos, think about what your little universe will consist of. Looking at the sky, you will see the Milky Way - a bright strip, going through the whole sky. In your tiny space it can be made from the most ordinary cotton wool. It will take very little - the smaller the vessel, the smaller will be the fact that it is in it.

Operation procedure:

1. Fill the jar with glycerine for half the volume.
2. Tear off a piece of cotton wool.
3. Make a flagellum, but not tight.
4. Place the cotton wool in the jar.
5. Straighten the flagellum so that "clouds", "paths", "curls" form - in principle, cotton wool in the water and creeps up so well, but you can give it a beautiful shape. Do this best with a wooden stick or toothpick, depending on the size.

Important! Vatu can be replaced. A very interesting option is obtained if you have a piece of white cotton fabric. Remove the transverse threads, and from the base form the "Milky Way".

Sequins

Sequins can be taken any - because in the night sky shines colorful stars. There are red and yellow dwarfs, blue and white. .. In short, your "space objects" can be all the colors of the rainbow. Just make a star placer, pouring the sequins into the jar, where there is already a piece of cotton wool. And from beads or small beads, you can make several planets. Very good, if there are small wooden beads - they will not sink to the bottom in any case.

If you do not have a bag of sparkles at hand, it's okay, they can be made from different materials:

• foil;
• of the Christmas tree;
• of broken Christmas toys.

Made of foil and rain

Any foil, except for that on a paper basis, is suitable. Very good, if there is a piece of food. To make "stars", just cut it as small as possible. In the same way, one should act with "rain", regardless of whether it is metal based or synthetic.

From old Christmas-tree toys

Do broken toys, if they are made of one of the following materials:

• foil;
• plastic;
• glass.

Plastic toys and those that are made folded in several layers of foil, quite often crumple, after which they hang on the Christmas tree is no longer worth it. But the material is suitable for your small space. Just cut pieces of different shapes. Shards of glass toys grind, but, of course, not into powder - there must be pieces, although very small.

Important! Sequins should be the smallest that you can find on sale.

Dye

Almost everything has worked out for you, but the sky is daytime, on which stars are not very noticeable. Therefore, you need to add a dye, the best food. Simply fill it in a jar. It is not necessary that the liquid be the same color, if there are more dark clumps or light blurs somewhere - it will be even better. Very good look non-dissolved grains.

Cover

Before putting on the shelf, the jar needs to be shaken slightly. But you can do this only if it is tightly closed. You can do it in several ways.

Option 1

If you have a baby food jar with a metal lid, simply glue it with a universal glue. The same can be done with a rubber stopper, it splendidly glues to the neck.

Important! The lid can be decorated - for example, painted in dark blue, black or golden color.

Option 2

For bottles with a narrow neck, it is better to cut the ground plug. This will require a cork from the wine bottle. Trim it so that it hardly enters the neck of your cosmos.

Option 3

A very useful thing in this situation is an adhesive gun. He will glue any lid with hot glue, and this will be the most reliable option.

Cover design

The metal or plastic cover, even if stuck, looks simple. It is immediately evident that this is self-made, and not very high-quality. Therefore, the part must be disguised. How? In one of the following ways:

1. Decorate with a beautiful ribbon of the same color as the dye.
2. Beaded - the same as in the smallest universe.
3. To glaze with dark material, on which to make miniature patterns of sparkles, beads.
4. Lubricate the cover with glue and roll in sequins.

Multilayer space

If you have a large bottle of beautiful shape, you can make a multi-layered space. In this case, cotton wool and sparkles will be needed more, and in addition, we need dyes of different colors:

1. Pour a layer of glycerin and add a dye( for example, blue).
2. Make a loose flagellum from cotton wool.
3. Place the flagellum in glycerin and spread.
4. Add a sparkle.
5. Mix it all with a thin stick.
6. Pour another layer of glycerin - do this very carefully, in a thin trickle, so that the layers do not mix.
7. Place the cotton wool and sequins there.
8. Color this layer with a different color( for example, red).
9. Stir the second layer with a stick, without touching the first one.
10. Make a few more.
11. Close the contents of the bottle with a lid, dripping several drops of universal glue into the joint.

Important! Multilayer space in the bank can not be shaken.

Neck Decoration

The small space in the jar can not stand on the shelf in the room. You can make a gorgeous piece of jewelry that you can wear with a monochrome sweater, for example. To do this, you need a very small bottle of beautiful shape and chain. It is better to take a bottle with a rubber or wooden stopper - in these materials it is easier to make holes:

1. Make the space as it is for a room decoration.
2. Draw and glue the plug to the neck.
3. Pierce the plug with an awl and insert the chain.

Important! Such a microcosm can be attached to the key chain.

Space-lamp

For the same technology it is possible to make the original lamp. For this you will need:

• 4-5 jars;
• glycerol according to the volume of the vessels;
• sequins, bugles, beads, cotton wool and everything else;
• 3 cork pans for pots;
• LED light bulb small power;
• battery;
• switch;
• wires.

Fill the jars in the same way as in the manufacture of space figurines. If there is little glycerin - top up the vessels to the top with water. Covers must be glued.

Stand

The main element is the stand. It can be made not only from cork, but also from juniper or plastic. True, the cork is the easiest to drill:

1. Make holes in each litter for the number of bottles - they should be located in the same places.
2. Put the cut pieces aside, you'll need them.
3. Glue the litter to each other.
4. Mix glue with sequins.
5. Lubricate the workpiece with this compound.
6. Assemble the circuit by connecting the LED lamps to the power source and the switch.
7. Insert the jars into the holes.
8. From the remaining pieces of cork make the legs( four will be enough, but you can and eight to make the structure more stable).

Is it possible to make space without glycerin?

Glycerin is more viscous than water, so small items in it do not sink. If you pour only water into the jar and then place the spangles and cotton wool there, they will float for a while, and then sink to the bottom. Of course, they can be shaken, then they will again turn into a small universe, but they will look different.

Therefore, instead of glycerin, you can use any viscous liquid - for example, sunflower oil. However, most often it has a yellowish color, but you can find and discolored.

Space in the cube

If you want, you can make a glass vessel yourself. For this purpose, a colorless plexiglass is suitable, from which it is necessary to make a cube( or a jar of another shape).You will need:

• piece of Plexiglas;
• dichloroethane;
• string;
• metal ruler;
• sharp knife;
• materials for space.

Important! The most important point is to cut 6 squares from Plexiglas with allowance for allowances. This can be done by marking out the material, and then scratching the lines on both sides. Can also be cut with a string or a circular saw.

And then - everything is simple:

1. Select the square for the bottom.
2. Glue the side walls to it - you can do it with dichloroethane.
3. Allow structure to dry.
4. Make the space exactly the same as in the bottle.
5. Glue the top square.

Important! The lower square can be made of thicker glass or even of other material, including opaque, into which it is possible to mount an LED lamp.

In this article we have offered you some ideas on how to make space in a bank. Now you have options to start creating interesting crafts yourself. Believe me, you will get a lot of pleasure from both the manufacturing process and the final result.
