Fans of needlework have long appreciated how beautifulspace in the bank, how to do it - invented - and willingly decorate with man-made galaxies not only apartments and offices, but also themselves. Small bottles with space are given to loved ones as souvenirs, are worn in the form of pendants, cling to the keys like key chains - you never know what a person with fantasy can think of!
What will be needed
Nothing complicated or expensive to create a miniature galaxy is required. Everything you need is purchased at the nearest supermarket and pharmacy.
- Glass containerIts size depends on how you intend to use your craft. But the main condition is a well-closing lid. Small bubbles closed cork plugs, planted on glue.
- Vata - it will depict nebulae in your space.
- Dye. As it is often taken food, but empirically found that over time it changes color. Acrylic paints or gouache give more reliable results.
- Glycerin is the creator of viscosity.The component is not obligatory, since it is possible to make space in a jar without glycerin, but its effectiveness will be lower (mysterious divorces will not be held), and its substitute - water - will rot out over time, and the craft will have to be thrown out.
- Spangles that will replace the stars. Sold in any store that specializes in needlework.
Note that you can also do without the dye, if you take the color glitter, but the space will turn out faded and unconvincing.
Personal Milky Way
We turn directly to how to make space in the bank. Step by step the process will look like this.
- A piece of cotton is torn off according to the size of the vessel and twisted with a fluffy flagellum.
- In glycerin spangles are stirred. If the capacity is large, you can add a little water to save it.
- Dye is stirred in the liquid. The larger it is, the thicker the color will be in space. Traditionally, blue or purple colors are taken, but you can play with other shades.
- The vessel is filled with cotton - not too tight for it to fill the volume, but not tamped.
- The bottle is filled with a mixture and shaken.
If you want space to please you for a long time, you need to seal the lid tightly.
Little Secrets
So, you tried, and you gotmysterious space in the bank. How to make it even more mysterious and brighter? You can improve the process itself. First, do not sprinkle sparkles in the vessel, but roll in a damp cotton wool before putting it inside. The location of the "stars" will become more natural, and they will not stick to the walls. Secondly, the cosmos can be made multi-layered: take two pieces of cotton and paint them separately in different colors. Thirdly, a variety of fillers gives an interesting effect. For example, sparkles can be supplemented with glass beads - oblong beads used in needlework.
Now how are you going to useyour space in the bank. How to make the craft itself, we have already told, but what's next? If you have chosen a very small vial and intend to wear it as a pendant, make sure that the cork is glued tightly and aesthetically decorated: an unprocessed neck spoils the look. As an option - paste it with a silver ribbon.
If your space is a stationary element of the interior, do not add glycerin to the top, otherwise it will break the container when expanding in the heat.
Space in the bank: how to make the original night light
Galactic looks very originallamp, while giving unobtrusive, muffled light. For him, in the manner described above, the cosmos is made in the bank, preferably in a bizarre form. The cover is securely glued. Take two cork coasters for hot dishes; one hole is cut to the size of the neck of the vessel, after which the elements are glued together. In the center of the base, LEDs with wires are installed, connected to the battery and the switch. The stand is painted with glitter or varnished, and an inverted can is fixed in the hole with glue. The night light is ready for use!
