Space in the bank: how to make the original craft

Fans of needlework have long appreciated how beautiful the cosmos is in the bank, how to make it - invented - and willingly decorated with man-made galaxies not only apartments and offices, but themselves. Small bottles with cosmos are given to loved ones as souvenirs, worn in the form of pendants, cling to the keys like key chains - but what a man with imagination can think of!

What will be needed?

Nothing complicated or expensive to create a miniature galaxy will not be required. All you need is purchased at the nearest supermarket and a pharmacy.

1. Glass container. Its dimensions depend on how you intend to use your crafts. But the main condition is a well-closed lid. Small bubbles are closed with cork plugs, planted on the glue.
2. Vata - it will represent nebulae in your cosmos.
3. Dye. As it is most often taken food, but it is established by experience that over time it changes color. More reliable results are given by acrylic or gouache paints.
4. 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 effectivity will be lower (mysterious divorces will not hold), and its substitute - water - will eventually fade, and the craft will have to be thrown out.
5. Sequins that will replace the stars. Are sold in any store that specializes in needlework.

Note that without the dye, you can do without, if you take the colored sparkles, but the cosmos turns out to be faded and unconvincing.

The Personal Milky Way

Let's go directly to how to make space in the bank. The step-by-step process will look like this.

1. A piece of cotton is torn off according to the size of the vessel and is twisted by a fluffy flagellum.
2. Glycerin is mixed with sparkles. If the capacity is large, you can add a little water to it.
3. The dye is mixed in the liquid. The more it is, the thicker the color of the cosmos. Traditionally, blue or purple color is taken, but you can play with other shades.
4. The dish is filled with cotton wool - not too tightly, so that it filled the volume, but it was not tamped.
5. The bottle is filled with a mixture and shaken.

If you want the space to please you for a long time, you need to seal the lid tightly.

Little Secrets

So, you tried, and you got a mysterious space in the bank. How to make it even more mysterious and brighter? You can improve the process itself. Firstly, do not pour sequins into a vessel, but roll in them a wet wad before putting it inside. The location of the "stars" will become more natural, and they will not stick to the walls. Secondly, you can make the cosmos multilayered: take two scraps of cotton and paint them separately in different colors. Thirdly, an interesting effect gives a variety of fillers. For example, glitter can be supplemented with a glass bead - an oblong bead used in needlework.

Now about how you are going to use your space in the bank. How to do the work itself, we have already told, but what next? If you have chosen a very small bubble and are going to wear it as a pendant, make sure that the cork is glued tightly and decorated aesthetically: the untreated neck spoils the look. As an option - glue it with a silver ribbon.

If your space is a stationary element of the interior, do not top up glycerin, otherwise it will break the capacity when it expands in the heat.

Space in the bank: how to make the original night light

Very original looks galactic lamp, giving at the same unobtrusive, muffled light. For him, in the manner described above, cosmos is made in the bank, preferably - a bizarre form. The cover is securely adhered. Two cork stands are used for hot dishes; In one the hole is cut to the size of the neck of the vessel, after which the elements are glued together. In the center of the received base LEDs with wires are installed, they are connected to the battery and the switch. The stand is painted with sparkles or varnished, and an inverted can is fixed in the hole in the glue. The night light is ready for use!
