Materials for work:
- bracelet 4-5 cm wide (metal, plastic, wood or any);
- eggshell;
- acrylic paints;
- acrylic lacquer;
- PVA glue;
- wet wipes, toothpick.
Shall we get started?
1. First, we need eggshells from raw eggs. Wash the shell, take out the white membrane film, and then treat the eggshell with soda solution for disinfection.
2. We will cover each shell with acrylic paint of any colors, and the more such bright shells we get, the brighter and more colorful our bracelet will be.
3. As a result, we should have a lot of shells of different colors.
4. Take a blank bracelet.
5. Let’s degrease the working surface of our bracelet; to do this, treat it with cotton wool soaked in alcohol.
6. For convenience and ease of work, we chop shells of different colors into small pieces.
7. Using a brush, apply PVA glue to the blank bracelet.
8. Using a toothpick, we begin to place a colored mosaic shell on the bracelet.
9. We continue to lay out bright shells along the entire perimeter of the bracelet.
10. Gradually large pieces of shell of different colors fill the entire bracelet Photo.
11. Now let's move on to the smaller parts - we begin to fill the voids, paying attention to the upper and lower edges of the bracelet.
12. Decorate the sides of the bracelet in very small pieces.
13. If you want to give the bracelet a specific color scheme, use small pieces of the same color to fill in the voids. Here you should give free rein to your imagination, since the bracelet can either be made in one color scheme or divided into bright, rainbow-like segments.
14. We will cover the entire surface of the bracelet with acrylic varnish, paying special attention to all recesses and voids. The varnish should cover not only the mosaic, but also all the spaces between it. This is necessary for a strong fixation.
15. Coat the edge well.
16. After the acrylic varnish has dried well, take gold-colored acrylic paint and apply it to the entire surface of the bracelet.
17. We pay special attention to the spaces between the mosaics.
18. Without allowing the paint to dry completely, take a slightly damp cloth and begin to wipe the gold paint from the surface of the bracelet. At the same time, we try to remove excess paint from the surface of the shell mosaic without touching the gold paint between them.
19. And as the final step, paint the gold color thoroughly along the edges of the bracelet.
20. Cover the finished bracelet with another layer of acrylic varnish.
That's all, our bracelet is ready! Create yourself a unique and summer item easily, quickly and interestingly. We wish you creative success!
