One of the most popular trends in modern creativity is making crafts with your own hands. Often, to create various crafts, they use the most ordinary objects and available, natural materials. The most ordinary stones make beautiful and unusual crafts, which will decorate the interior of any room or become an excellent element of landscape design. For self made Both ordinary stones and sea pebbles are suitable. The material can be of different sizes and colors.
Stone is used to decorate fountains, arrange terraces, design garden paths, and even construct furniture. But most often, stone is used to make crafts that become decorations for a garden or personal plot. Stones of different sizes, which are decorated in the shape of ladybugs, will perfectly decorate the garden. If you show your imagination, the stones can turn into cute caterpillars, snails, frogs and other cute inhabitants of the garden.
A swan can also decorate a garden; its head and neck are made of bent reinforcement, and its body is made of a rounded stone. Other animals can be made in a similar way, where the armature can be used to make legs. Large and medium-sized stones can be decorated in the form of a fairy-tale house and a small gnome can be placed next to the house. Lying stones are an excellent material for creating a dog, cat or tiger.
If you show a little imagination, fabulous mushrooms will grow on your plot or in the garden or daisies will bloom. Pots or buckets with stones painted in the shape of berries will look impressive.
In order for the painting on the stones to last as long as possible, a varnish coating should be applied over the design.
Crafts made from medium-sized stones, decorated using the “napkin technique” - decoupage technique, look very interesting and unusual. In order to make such a craft you will need:
A medium-sized stone with a smooth surface;
Bright napkins;
PVA glue;
Acrylic paints;
White “water emulsion”;
Glossy clear varnish.
First of all, it is necessary to apply a layer of “water emulsion” to the surface of the stone. It is better to choose three-layer napkins. The first layer of napkins must be removed, then cut out the design, and remove another layer. Only the top, colorful layer is suitable for crafts. The design from the napkin is fixed on the surface of the stone using PVA glue. As the glue dries, make sure that no wrinkles form on the napkin. Next, the background of the craft is created with acrylic paints, drawing is done, and then painting. After applying the design, the stone must be varnished and left to dry for 2 days. Then another layer of varnish is applied.
Sea pebbles are a very convenient material for creating various crafts with your own hands. Due to their baked shape and relatively small size, sea pebbles are used to make various decorations and buttons.
You can make holes in the pebbles yourself, using a drill and various drill bits, or seek help from a jewelry workshop.
Perhaps the simplest craft made from sea pebbles is a refrigerator magnet. To do this, you just need to glue a small magnet to one side of the stone and paint the other side with acrylic paints.
A flower pot covered with sea pebbles will look good in any interior. In a similar way You can also decorate various boxes, vases or any other containers.
In order to make unusual paintings from sea pebbles, you need to select the base of the painting and paint it in the required color. You can use a piece of wood or plywood as a base. Then you should draw a sketch of the future design onto the paper and determine what color stones you will need. Then the stones must be painted in the required colors and then glue the stones to the base using a glue gun. If you wish, you can experiment a little and add other materials to the picture.
Pebble painting will be a great activity not only for adults, but also for children. To paint stones, you must use acrylic paints or gouache. Of course, acrylic paints will be more durable, and if the design is varnished on top, the craft will delight the eye for decades. Using pebble painting, the interior of the room can be decorated with cute cacti. For such a craft, you will need large pebbles, which should be painted in the form of cacti. Fill a flower pot with fine crumbs and place the resulting “cacti” in it. Thus, one “cactus” or a whole “green family” can be placed in one pot.
