The process of making a souvenir
1. First, empty the shell of its contents. In this case, we make a small hole on only one side of the egg. We wash the shell and dry it. Then mix the plaster. At the same time, we dilute the gypsum in water to a liquid consistency. After which we place the empty shell in the egg tray. This is done for the stability of the structure.
2. Fill the shell with plaster to the very top.
3. Then we make an egg stand.To do this, cut out one square from the candy packaging. We pierce the candy mold in the center and thread a screw through it.
4. Place the candy mold into the shell so that the screw is completely embedded in the plaster. This work must be done quickly, before the plaster in the shell hardens.
5. Next, pour the plaster into the candy mold. Leave the product in this form until completely dry (preferably overnight).
6. Then carefully remove the candy bowl, cutting it around the edges. And then we clean the shell. We get this plaster blank:
7. The workpiece must be primed with white acrylic paint.
8. Next, paint the top (egg) green.
9. Paint the stand with brown paint.
10. Then you need to make golden highlights on the stand. To do this, use an almost dry brush dipped in gold paint to go over the entire stand.
11. Let's continue decor eggs. Let's decorate an egg using the technique Decoupage. To do this, we use a napkin with “chicken” motifs. We cut out two chickens from a napkin and separate the pictures from the lower layers.
12. Apply the motif to the egg and glue it. Let the motif dry and glue the second chicken to the back of the egg.
13. There is free space between the chickens. Fill it with a random pattern.
14. Add a little golden color to the black.
15. Glue glitter to the top of the egg and coat the product with varnish.
The finished souvenir in the shape of an egg on a stand is ready!
