In addition to the fact that Easter is very important, it is even possible to say the most important holiday in the Christian faith, this is an even excellent reason to carry out the thematic design of the premises. It is clear that the main subject of this holiday is an Easter egg, so let's deal today in how to make Easter eggs from foam and find out if you can make them with your own hands.
Foam eggs do it yourself
Let's find out how to do and where you can purchase foam eggs. So, with regard to the independent manufacture of the eggs of their foam, it can immediately say that without professional equipment can hardly do without professional equipment. Of course, you can try from a piece of foam plastic with an ordinary knife cut the shape of the egg, but most likely you will not succeed, usually such a process is made on special machines, because the egg shape is very complex for repeat.
The optimal option in this case is to just buy ready-made billets from foam. They stand quite a bit, so you will not have to buy them on the money, and you will not have to spend a lot of time and forces on self-making, especially since it is hardly you will succeed.
Possible points of sales of foam eggs:
- online stores
- specialized shops needlework
- points with souvenirs and gifts
So, if you have already ready-made foaming eggs, then let's consider more than you can decorate and decorate to make light Easter even brighter.
Decorating foam eggs
If you are an experienced needleer and you can sew an Easter egg from the fabric - it's great (wool is simpsed inside it), but it's not very easy to decorate it, because it is soft, so the foam egg is the best option for high-quality and beautiful decoration.
So, consider the materials and tools that we need in the process of decorating the eggs under consideration:
- billets - foam eggs (the basis for our crafts)
- fabric (multicolored, you can use very small pieces)
- ribbons, twine, braid, etc.
- scissors
- glue (in some cases a moment can be useful, and sometimes PVA)
- knife (optimal option in this case - scalpel)
- ceing and pencil (can be replaced by tyshech)
Production of decorated eggs and foam
The decoration process is very simple and exciting, if you know what follows:
- To begin with, we applied to the foam blank with a pencil of distinction (so to speak, segments). In this case, only the manufacturer determines their shape and size, it all depends on fantasy and desire. In the event that for the first time you decided to decorate the foam blank, it will be better if the segments are simple shape and quite large sizes. An excellent option is to divide your workpiece into 4 absolutely smooth segments.
- Now neatly knife needs to do shorts on previously scheduled segments. It is necessary to do this in such a way that the depth of such cuts is at least half acetimeter.
- The next step - we apply cigarette paper to one of the segments of the eggs from the foam and gently supply its contour.
- Cut the segment from paper and carry it a paper layout on the fabric, while not forgetting to leave the allowances on each side of the half-meter. Tissue pieces should be as many as segments in your egg (if segments of different size and shape, then you have to make a layout of each on paper, and then transfer to the fabric).
- Now for each segment applied on the egg, it is necessary to secure a piece of fabric, which in size is similar to this segment. Apply a piece of fabric to the segment, and we stick the fabric of the furrows of each of them with some stupid object.
- The next step - in the same cracks we stick tapes or braid to fix the fabric in furrows, only before that they need to apply a thin layer of glue, and then fasten the tape from above.
The more the segments on the egg, for which you attach multicolored pieces of fabric and tape, the original foam egg will look.
Other decoration options for foam eggs
You can use a variety of materials to decorate an egg from foam:
- corrugation paper
- sequins
- beads
- ribbons
- napkins
- ordinary paper
- beads, etc.
Decor methods:
- With the help of thread or jute. Here you will need quite a few material - glue and decorative elements (it may be threads or jute). The method of manufacturing is simple - I am awarded the entire surface of the foam egg with glue, after which we start at the bottom at the bottom to wind into one layer thread, not a single millimeter surface.
- Quilling. This is another way to reorganize eggs to Easter. We simply make various crafts from a queen (flowers, patterns, etc.) and with the help of glue, these parts are attached to the egg. The optimal option is filled with this decor the entire surface of the foam egg.
- Colored paper and sequins. We take in small pieces with small pieces and glue them to the surface of the egg, you can with the allen, that is, on each other. After that, we smear the thin layer of glue on top and sprinkle with sparkles. It is important here that the glue that you will be squeezed over the colored paper was transparent.
- Sequins. Here you will need to take sequins and glue. Introducing glue the surface of the egg and on top of a drip sequin. In this case, the optimal option will be the use of the moment of moment, because the glue PVA sequins are not very well attached to it.
Everything is very simple, the main thing is to have a desire to do something beautiful.
