Imitation malachite
The use of malachite as a material for jewelry has been known for a long time. The semi-precious stone fascinates with its unique patterns with colors of all shades of green. That is why many people want to see it as a decoration for their premises.
How to make a craft box that looks like malachite on your own? There are different ways to recreate the color palette of the stone:
- Painting with a roller or brush;
- Plasticine modeling;
- By dyeing the dough.
A plasticine product can be a wonderful decoration. Soft and at work, and subsequently strengthened with a special varnish for hardening, it does an excellent job with this task.
Malachite box - a craft that will surprise all loved ones can be done together with your child. Such creativity
Creation of a plasticine casket
In order for the fabulous object to "appear" you need the most common means:
- A set of plasticine and a knife;
- Rolling pin for rolling parts;
- Fixing varnish together with a brush.
The basis for work can be a cardboard box, an unnecessary box or a purchased blank. If you have cardboard at hand, then using the template, you can make a similar item yourself. For finishing from the inside, you will need velvet or satin.
Reproduction of the color of the stone is made using different colors of plasticine. Whitish, very dark, light green, shades of dark and light green and, of course, emerald. All shades are selected according to the tastes of the manufacturers.
Usually, two types of varnish are used to process the finished craft in this case. Decoupage or glassy.
The sequence of actions is as follows:
- Plasticine is rolled out of pieces into sausages, and then sausages of different thicknesses are made of them;
- They are cut into squares. The order of the colors is not important. The patterning of malachite is by nature always random;
- Stacks are made of pieces of different colors and flattened a little;
- An even stick is useful as a rod, around which a separate stack is bent;
- Then the stick is taken out and work is finished without it;
- The columns are rolled into even sausages;
- The common plate is laid out from the "sausage" cuts;
- The taken base is covered with layers resembling malachite in color. The box is ready.
You can use the idea of P. Bazhov's fairy tales in order to make your own malachite box as a craft for the garden. The base can be a box made of wood, pasted over with organza with a satin lining from the inside.
"Moment" is quite suitable for pasting it. On the top you can attach a "fabulous" lizard, and decorate the sides with a golden ornament with rowan berries.
The portrait of the author, so beloved of the fairy tale, can be fixed with a stapler on the inside of the lid, framed by a frame of multi-colored stones.
Such a treasury can be replenished with different "values" over time. For example, there you can store jewelry made of natural stone, self-made figurines of your favorite characters, the crown of the Mistress herself and many items that will always be interesting to consider both for children and their parents. Love for the tales of the great writer comes with time, but begins from childhood.
Tubular newspaper box
It is very interesting to do crafts from newspaper tubes, where caskets are no exception. The products are so beautiful, memorable and original that for many such an occupation has long turned into an exciting "hobby".
Initially, the tubes are harvested, and then the most interesting process takes place - braiding using a wide variety of patterns. They can be difficult for craftsmen, or easy and simple for beginners.
The shades of the product are given by the corresponding coloring. Such a product can subsequently be modified using a beautiful case and items for decoration.
Paper plus cardboard
