What you need: We think ahead and during our holiday we gathered from the beach wood pieces rinse the sea, shells and stones. If you did the same and you can not use these materials for your mobile. If not do not worry! In shops with ornaments will surely find shells that you can use. As for the two pieces of wood, a trip to any of the remaining limpet shells parks or thickets in your area becoming something will be found ... In addition you will need: A dremmel or a thin screwdriver to open holes in your shells Thin waxed thread (sold in bookstores for jewelry limpet shells in different colors) Small beads of various colors Koftaki or scissors Adhesive tape paper transparent varnish for shells (optional) It is before you start to build the mobile to decide about the order you wish to have your materials in order to see how many eg shells exactly you will need. We created a mobile with two horizontal wood about the same size tied together and hung in the top two rows of wood shells and bottom 5 other.
. Step - Step begins construction washing well the shells you to leave the salt if you want after drying them pass a layer of varnish (even this nail making) to polish. Adheres to any shell that should limpet shells pierce a small piece of sellotape front and behind the point, to be the hole to not break. Then careful when drilling into a one shell after you have finished remove the piece of sellotape. After you have finished your shells start cutting a sizable piece of waxed thread and doing 2-3 knots in the end. The length of the track depends on how big you want to make your mobile. After Make the knot you spend a bead, a shell and another bead. Leave a small space from the previous shell and make another knot a little further in your thread. You keep passing limpet shells a bead, a shell and another bead. Follow the same procedure until you decorate all thread pieces that will hang in your woods. You begin to deneis threads with shells into the woods to use. Good to start tying the first thread in the middle of the lower timber to balance more easily. Do 2-3 turns the yarn around the wood and makes sure with some tight knots. Then deneis wood together in the same piece of thread that you used for the central thread of the lower timber. Intermediates limpet shells can put a number of bead, shell, bead to the trimming and after deneis the same manner in the timber (in the middle). You keep deneis threads have prepared right and left, at equal distances around, up in the woods. Once you hang all the threads do a test by keeping the wood in the air to see if they balance limpet shells all evenly and do whatever needs changing. Finally, use the thread pieces limpet shells left over at the top wood to build a triangle with knot and loop so you can hang your mobile in your area! Congratulations! Whenever the breeze will make the shells hitting each other you will still moments you live summer ... Source: ftiaxto Views:
