After all the sea shells brought home, it’s like the saying goes, without exception. So, let’s make something out of the sea of material in the form of ornaments. In this master class, you will learn how to make a bracelet made of shells with their own hands for beginners. Crafts light and do not need a lot of effort to ensure you have a half creations will be ready, it is directly the bracelet.

Stuff you will need a relatively long:

– Shells of the same size; – already bought the chain as a bracelet; – Additional ring for which will cling shells; – Pliers; – glue; – Brush glue, small; – Large brush; – silver leaf; – drill with a thin bit.

Here is a list of supplies we need. Just still be needed additional things as plates, pieces of wood, etc. In fact, homemade fairly easy and does not need a long time to mess with it.

Pick beautiful shells and wash them. I must say, take more shells to choose from, not all fit in the final version.

Take a drill and drill a hole in the corner of the shell . The drill must be very thin.

Clay coat with the top pieces. Very well we do it.

We reserve a little glue to dry, but not completely!

Take a leaf silver and presses all the shells. Remove the silver, clean the brush too much and putting a back. So several times.

Next trick. With the help of tools and additional material we attach the ring to a bracelet and is passed to shell. Accordingly, we choose the most beautiful and neat product that would hang on the chain.

How to Make Handmade wreath out of viburnum on the head – DIY .

In today’s master class we will make a beautiful and unusual accessory, which is exactly what you will come in handy for a Christmas photo shoot or complement your Christmas bright image. The unusual it is that it is a wreath on the head of viburnum with their hands, made his own wire, foamirana and red berries.

For its production, you will need:

• red berries in sugar; • Green foamiran; • teip brown-belt; • thick wire for the base of the rim; • wire thinner for stems; • cardboard; • awl; • glue gun; • scissors; • brown pastel art.

In fact, a wreath of Viburnum is very simple. The main thing to fix firmly and beautifully all the branches. The basis for the rim serve thick wire, from which you want to make a circle. The diameter of the circle depends on the size of the head, so make your own measurements and, based on this, fasten both ends of the wire. Then completely wrap the wire brown teip-tape. A zone where both ends are secured generally wrap several times to the wire was cut through the paper.

On the cardboard draw a leaf with three tips. You can srisovat template from the monitor.

Encircles this template a large number of times (20) on a green foamirane using the awl. Generally, the number of leaves and berries depends on the density which is to be wreath . Do as much as is needed.

Cut the leaves, the edge of each process and make relief. In the middle of the sharp end of sewing draws the lanes starting from the bottom. Draws the contour artistic pastel brown and then feathered border into leaf.

Now a thin wire wrapped with brown tape and cut to any length. Each segment fastened to the back of the leaves. We cover the end of the segment small piece foamirana.

From the leaves and berries form a small and medium-sized branches. You do not need to use all the leaves. Make three or four branches which will be a different number of leaves and berries where they will look in different directions.

In addition, we take more wire wrapped tape and twirl it through the end. Then attach the basis of additional volume, winding this wire. So we will do a simulation branches.

There was very simple – it is to attach twigs, berries and leaves to the base. Since bilateral berries, it simplifies the task. Take the bundle and twist the wire in the middle. For the same mid-mount using teip feeds the berries to the base of the rim.Attach a few leaves. Then attach a little more ready-made twig and alternate all the elements in this manner until you reach the point where we started.

Charms Bracelet made with Shrink Plastic .

Charms Bracelet made with Shrink Plastic

Combine Pearl Ex powders and Pearl Ex Stamp Pads for a wonderful look on shrink plastic. It’s easy and fun!

Materials: Jacquard Pearl Ex Stamp Pads (Sepia, Gold, Copper) Stamps (swirl from Stampa Rosa, checkerboard from Rubber Stampede, all others from Impress Me Jacquard Pearl Ex Pigments (Duo BlueGreen, Duo Green-Yellow)

Hole punches, Soft paintbrush, Needlenose pliers, Scissors Memory wire by Remembrance™ Sandpaper 200-400 grit or fine sanding  block Beads (black, amber and turquoise plastic faceted from the Beadery, anodized metal tubes from Legendary Beads) Colored wire by Fun Wire™ PolyShrink™ plastic/Lucky Squirrel (Black) Heat embossing gun or oven

Instructions: 1. Sand both sides of a sheet of black PolyShrink™ plastic evenly with the fine grade sandpaper. Sand in both directions, lengthwise and widthwise. The pigments and inks will become embedded into the surface when the plastic shrinks.

2. Stamp one side of the sheet with a checkerboard pattern using the Sepia colored Jacquard Pearl Ex Stamp Pad. Let dry.

3. On the other side of the sheet, dust the surface lightly with the two Jacquard Pearl Ex Pigments. Use a soft brush and randomly alternate the two colors. The color will intensify when the plastic shrinks.

4. On top of the colored side, stamp some single motifs with the Gold and Copper Jacquard Stamp Pads. For this bracelet we used 3 different motifs and made 17 charms.

5. Cut out the shapes that you want to use. We used a square with slightly bulging sides and rounded corners. Remember that your shape will be about 45% of its original size.

6. Punch a hole in the plastic using a hole punch. We used just a round hole punch but hole punches come in many different shapes so you may want to experiment. The holes will maintain their shape even when they shrink.

7. If using a heat embossing tool, lay the piece on a flat surface that won’t be damaged by the heat embossing tool. A thick piece of wood is good. Heat the piece by aiming the tool at the plastic. The plastic will begin to move and curl when you heat it. If you feel it is shrinking too fast, hold the tool a little further away. When the piece is completely shrunk, lay flat and allow it to cool. If using an oven, put the piece of plastic on a Teflon sheet in a regular or toaster oven no hotter than 300 to 350 degrees for approximately 3 minutes. 8. After the piece is cooled, sand the edges to smooth any rough areas. 9. Roll the edges of each piece onto the Copper or Gold stamp pad to get color on the edges.

10. To make the charms dangle from the wire, we used colored wire to make an extension that could be threaded onto the memory wire. Using a copper and a purple colored wire alternately, loop through the holes in the charms. Twist the wire around itself close together and close to the charm. On the other end make a loop that the memory wire will go through and twist the wire back on itself.

11. Cut the memory wire the length you want it and twist the end in a spiral to keep the beads from falling off.

12. Place the beads and charms onto the memory wire with any sort of pattern.
