BELLS WITH A COCKEREL

Send

The month of December has already approached, and nothing remains until the New Year, and there are so many things ahead of us. New Year's bustle is always pleasant, albeit troublesome. There is so much to do. First of all, to come up with a New Year’s menu, buy all the necessary products, decorate your home beautifully and elegantly, and most importantly, dress up a Christmas tree, under which all wishes and gifts will fall. Everyone knows pretty well that 2017 will be the year of the Rooster. With the New Year, every person’s life always changes, no matter good or bad, it’s always a change in life’s position, so you need to set yourself up only for positive things, expect only the best from next year, and, of course, first of all, set up on it yourself. It is accepted and there is such a sign that necessarily on the New Year's beauty there should be at least one toy on which will be the symbol of the next year, accordingly it should be a cockerel. In order not to go shopping for a long time and not to look for such a toy, although now it is not a problem, it will be better and more interesting if you make a Christmas tree decoration with a cock yourself. Firstly, this is very interesting, and you can also make not one, but several toys, and present to your friends.
Right now we will consider together with you such a master class with which we will learn how to make Christmas bells with a cock using the decoupage technique. For the manufacture we take:

Three large foam bells;
Napkins for decoupage with a rooster and other New Year's elements, we take napkins with medium-sized drawings so that they are easy to apply and look beautiful on the bells;
PVA glue;
Glossy varnish (we take an acrylic construction varnish, which is non-toxic and without a pungent odor);
Kitchen sponge;
Floristic wire;
Nippers for needlework;
Fan brush for applying varnish;
Cord twine;
Wooden sticks;
Organza ribbons are red and green;
Scissors;
A bowl to pour glue and varnish;
If there are dry spangles, berries in sugar, you can decorate our bells at the end.

First of all, we need to make loops on top of the bells to hang them when drying, and fasten the ribbons at the end. With nippers we bite off three pieces of wire of 6-7 cm each.

We bend and insert such loops into the bells from above, now we thread the twine into them, then to hang up the toys to dry.

Pour into the PVA tank. Cut off a piece of sponge and cover with a sponge all three bells with glue. We make such a stand and hang the bells to dry.

We are waiting for complete drying.

Now we take napkins, remove the topmost layer from all and carefully separate individual fragments. The smaller the drawings, the better, more beautiful and easier to work with them.

Now we take the bells, and the picture for the picture we fix our pictures with the help of glue mixture. And the glue mixture in us consists of equal proportions of PVA glue and water, everything is thoroughly mixed. We hang the bells to dry again.

Now we cover our bells with at least five layers of varnish. We dry each separately. Now we pass the ribbons and you're done. Such bright New Year's toys turned out here. Thanks for your attention! Good luck to all!
