What to do on vacation? What is useful to do for home? We offer to make a "brick" key.
Materials are the most accessible, the level of complexity of manufacture is minimal.
And ahead of the rivers of holidays, birthdays, where the keyboard made can come in handy as a gift.
On the example of the key, you will see how you can imitate brick masonry from cardboard. The fantasy will tell you what other home objects can be decorated with the same reception.
For the key, you will need:
Thick cardboard (from any box or drawer).
Napkins or toilet paper - they should be dense (with abundant lubrication, they do not turn into "porridge").
PVA glue.
Acrylic paints and varnish.
As the basis (rear wall), the keysticker that we will decorate the bricks, it is better to take a rectangle from the fiberboard or plywood - hooks, loops will be attached to this basis.
Cut from cardboard rectangles-bricks are approximately the same size and stick them to the base, leaving the gaps between them.
So we put all the surface needed on the plan. In our example, the keyboard is glued to the center with the inscription, and on the top panel - the picture (work in the decoupage technique).
Next, we abundantly lubricate bricks with PVA glue and superimpose the crumpled napkin, again a lot of glue, so that everything is impregnated. In addition, we press the napkin into the gaps between the bricks, form the corners.
Leave to dry.
The dried composition is painted with red-brown paints. Great brick painting in combination with bronze, silver or gold paints (at first some of these paints are painting the seams between the bricks, then we paint bricks, leaving the shine between them).
When the paint is driving, it is possible to go through the same bronze or golden paint with a dry brush (brush with a macaus bronze, on the not necessary paper lubricate the paint with the brush until it becomes almost dry and only now they will visit her bricks) in some one direction.
Covered transparent acrylic varnish (it is better to use a matte varnish).
We attach metal accessories and the key is ready. Want to hang yourself, you want - give someone.
