Crafts made of natural material: mini-wood with own hands
On the eve of the New Year holidays we wantdecorate their homes with things that will create a festive and truly winter mood. An excellent choice for this will be crafts made of natural material: this is an exclusive decor for your home, created with a soul and diligence.
Today we want to present you an artifact made of moss andpine cones - a charming mini-forest. Or, if you want, a terrarium. We like to use beautiful words with which the idea of a conventional crafts becomes more meaningful.
A hint of something more meaningful and magical. Terrarium of pine cones - yes, it sounds exciting. Are you ready to create a mini copy of the winter forest at home? We invite you to our photo-master class!
Necessary materials:
- Pine cones (two varieties);
- Moss;
- Wooden sticks for crafts or something similar;
- Wide cup;
- Pistol with hot glue;
- Foam / sponge;
- Glass dome.
Instruction:
1. Use a gun with hot glue to attach wooden sticks to the bases of pine cones. If the sticks are long, you can cut off the excess for more convenient work.
2. Place a piece of foam in the cup and insert the sticks with attached cones into it, by arranging them in such a way that the imitation of the forest is obtained.
3. Cover foam with moss, imitating the soil of the forest. Try to disguise the foam completely, filling the entire cup with moss.
4. Add some small pebbles, needles or other natural ingredients to complete the picture. We also used artificial snow, sprinkling our "trees" to enhance the effect of the "snow-covered forest". If you add a little sparkles - the composition will acquire a truly New Year's appearance.
5. It will be fine if you find any hemispherical glass object that could, like a dome, cover your mini-forest from above. We believe that under the glass the terrarium looks more fabulous. Have you ever noticed how empty the house looks after the Christmas decorations have gone to the suitcase before the next New Year?
Surely, you frantically tried to fill somethingsuddenly orphaned the endless expanses of free space or tried to "zazhevat" the feeling of emptiness with the remnants of a holiday cookie? This year everything will be different! Your wonderful mini-forest will remain with you a small pleasant reminder of the past holidays and will please your sight until the very spring!
