Unusual pendants with their own hands
So, let's figure out how to make a simple and interesting pendant using a simple newspaper for this.
Materials that you will need:
- newspaper;
- scissors;
- glue;
- wooden skewers;
- putty;
- paper or napkin with an image that you would like to see on the pendant;
- putty;
- brush;
- a piece of cotton wool;
- varnish;
- pencils;
- coffee.
And now, having decided on the necessary materials, let's go directly to the process of manufacturing the pendant.
- Cut the stripes from the newspaper (lay out the newspaper, then fold it once and cut it into a fold, fold the pieces together again and cut them in the fold). Then roll the tubes out of the resulting newspaper strips, fixing them around the edges with glue.
- Having made about 10 tubes, you can proceed to the first stage of manufacturing the pendant. Take one tube, squeeze it so that it becomes flat, apply glue on it and start to twist the spiral from it. When the tube ends, glue the second and continue to twist the spiral. This will be the basis for the pendant.
- To make the loop on which the pendant will be hung, glue another newspaper tube-strip to the base. Place a pencil or a pen under the tube, and glue the tube around the base to the base of the pendant. Then remove the handle so that it does not stick to the pendant.
- In order for the surface of the pendant to become even and more durable, apply a few layers of putty on it, allowing each layer to dry out. After you apply the putty, let the pendant dry thoroughly.
- Print on paper the image that you would like to see on the pendant. To make it look more stylish and interesting, it can be aged with coffee, applying a strong drink with a brush on paper. If the picture is black and white, then you can color it with watercolor pencils, or simply add color to the image, since even the color picture will fade slightly after aging with the help of coffee.
- Cut the picture is desirable a little more in size than the pendant, because it is always easier to cut off excess than glue the missing. Using glue, glue the picture to the pendant, and remove excess paper on the edges. You can even just tear it off - light shabby around the edges will look stylish.
- Put the remaining coffee on the back of the pendant, and then cover the entire surface of the pendant with varnish.
Based on this master class, you can make a combined pendant made of beads and leather. For example, take thin slices of skin instead of a newspaper, form a medallion out of them, and then embroider it with beads. You can also make a simple pendant made of leather with your own hands, without any frills. In general, you need only imagination and materials, but you can do anything from anything.
