Friends, I welcome you!

Old amphora made with his own hands, which according to legend, had lain in the ground for hundreds of years. Make amphora is not very difficult, the only thing a lot of time spent on dry layers.

The huge request to those who do not love needlework and does not understand why this is, do not waste your time on this master class, just walk past. Thank you!

I used for the manufacture of amphorae:

· Children's inflatable ball;

· Plastic or cardboard tube;

· Waste saucer;

· Rigid wire diameter 5.6 mm;

· Plaster bandages (you can buy in the pharmacy);

· The paper, pencil, paper tape;

· Hot glue and glue PVA carpenter;

· Papier mache;

· Aerosol paint, black and silver.

Well friends, are you ready? Then let's go!

Step 1.

Inflating the ball the size of what we want to do an amphora. Plaster bandage strips and cut into small pieces. Too big not cut with them is not very convenient to work with.

Step 2.

Plastic or cardboard tube put to the inflated ball and stuck to the wet bandage. A few minutes you need to hold hands or something to rely on, that would be the bandage and grabbed the tube was straight.
