Hello dear friends and guests of the channel!
Today we will talk about garden crafts, or rather about one decorative craft that will look great in the country or in the garden. Of course, now is not the season for such crafts, but many readers asked, despite the winter season, to write more summer ideas for the garden.
It will be a gnome, which, as it were, looks out of a burrow in the ground. Therefore, we will not do it completely, but only the head. The rest hid in the ground.
Used for manufacturing:
· Sand, cement grade M 400;
· Pelvis;
· Stocking;
· Stationery rubber bands;
· Part from an old sweater;
· PVA glue;
· Fork;
· Paint in a spray can;
· Acrylic paints;
· Universal varnish in a spray can.
Step 1.
Pour 3 parts of sand and 1 part of cement into the basin, mix dry, add water and mix the solution. The solution must be very thick.
Step 2.
We take a stocking and fill it with a solution and give it the desired shape.
Step 3.
Using a rubber band, we make a spout. Leave to dry for 24 hours.
Step 4.
Remove the stocking in a day. Cut off the sleeve from the old woolen sweater. We tighten the cuffs of the sleeves with an elastic band.
Step 5.
We prepare a mixture of cement and PVA glue. Pour 1 part of glue into about 5 parts of cement.
Step 6.
We moisten the gnome's head with water. We carefully soak the sleeve in cement, put it on the head and form a hat.
Step 7.
From a thick solution of sand and cement (proportions as in the first step), we sculpt the beard and mouth of the gnome. We add texture with a fork.
Leave to dry for a day.
Step 8.
Cover the gnome's face with a rag and paint the cap with spray paint.
Step 9.
We paint the face with acrylic paints.
Step 10.
We cover everything with a universal varnish from a spray can for 2 times.
The gnome is ready, you can put it in the garden.
