Materials: boiled eggs (white), starch, water, brush, napkins, food coloring (gold, silver).
Working time: from 1 hour (depending on the number of eggs)
We need napkins with small patterns. We remove the two bottom layers of the napkins and make blanks of motifs - we make small scraps of flowers by hand. I really love this technique, I call it the “patchwork technique”.))
We begin to distribute the motifs on the surface of the egg. We do this with a brush and water. The main thing is to try to smooth out all the wrinkles.
We make a paste from starch. I used cornstarch, but you can also use potato starch.
We cook the paste as for gluing wallpaper (if anyone else remembers)). I took 2 tsp. starch, about 50 ml of water and heated in the microwave - 20 sec - stir - 20 sec - stir - 10 sec - stir - 10 sec - stir - ready.))
After all the motifs have been distributed, coat well with paste and leave to dry.
Instead of starch, you can use whipped egg white
After all the eggs have dried (10-15 minutes), cover them with a decorative layer. To do this, add food coloring to a small amount of paste.
It is better to dry decorated eggs on a wire rack.
Master class on making souvenirs from papier-mâché "Fruits"
This master class is intended for children of primary and secondary school age, teachers additional education, teachers, parents.
Purpose: interior design, DIY holiday gift.
Target: making “Fruit” souvenirs from papier-mâché.
Tasks:
introduce the technique of making a souvenir from papier-mâché using crackle decoupage;
improve skills in working with paper, paints, varnish;
develop artistic taste.
An apple will fall from a branch into the grass,
The hedgehog will find an apple from a branch.
The hedgehog will bring home an apple,
Grate the little hedgehogs on a grater.
(E. Borisova)
There are two ways to make papier-mâché crafts. The first method is to mold products from paper pulp. The second method is to glue pieces of paper onto the form. This master class uses the second method.
To decorate papier-mâché crafts, you can use decoupage, that is, gluing individual motifs of a design or ornament onto the surface of the craft.
To hide minor imperfections, you can decoupage using crackle - a network of small cracks on the surface of the craft. In the first case, we will use eggshells for this, in the second - PVA and acrylic paint.
For work you will need the following materials and tools:
Newspaper or advertising brochures;
White paper;
Three-layer napkin with a pattern;
Scissors with sharp blades;
PVA glue;
Latex putty;
White acrylic paint;
Paint brush;
Glue brush;
Small spatula;
Colorless varnish (optional);
Hairdryer
Sequence of work:
1.Make a blank for an apple and a pear from newspaper or wrapping paper.
2. We paste the blanks with 5-7 layers of paper. We alternate layers of white paper and layers of colored brochures. We finish with white paper. Glue on liquid PVA. If the paper is thick, you need to soak it first. The pieces of paper should be small enough so as not to create wrinkles on the surface of the fruit.
3. Let the papier-mâché blanks dry. It will take from 1 to 3 days. You should not dry it under a hairdryer or on a radiator; the crafts may become deformed. Then we glue the twig, putty it and dry it again.
4.To create the effect of craquelure (cracks), we will use eggshells. To do this, raw eggshells must be freed from films, washed and dried well.
5. Cover a small area of the apple with PVA glue (it is better to use construction glue) and apply a piece of the shell, press with tweezers so that the shell cracks, push the pieces apart a little. So we gradually paste over the entire workpiece. Let dry for 1-2 hours.
6.Next, cover the blanks with white acrylic paint and let them dry well.
7. The most pleasant moment remains - decorating with napkins. This technique is called decoupage. Separate the top layer with the pattern from the three-layer napkin. We apply it to the apple and determine which fragment is suitable in size and composition. Using scissors, cut out the fragment as carefully as possible. Place a fragment on the dry surface of the apple and squeeze PVA glue out of the tube into the middle. Using a brush (or adults can just use a finger), carefully coat a fragment of the napkin from the center to the edges. So step by step we paste all the necessary fragments.
8.After complete drying, you can tint the white areas with paint to match the napkin. To add more depth to the cracks, run a damp brush or sponge over the surface so that the paint remains in the cracks. This can only be done in areas free from the napkin.
9.If desired, you can cover everything clear varnish.
We admire the result.
Second option.
We repeat points 1-3.
4.Coat the workpiece with green paint. This will be the color of craquelure - small cracks on the surface of the apple.
5.As soon as the paint has dried, cover the apple with a layer of PVA and let it dry a little.
You can dry it with a hairdryer. It is important not to overdry, the glue should be covered with a thin film, but remain damp inside.
6.Apply white acrylic paint with a wide brush and dry with a hairdryer. Cracks in the paint will appear before our eyes. The craquelures are ready.
7. Decorate the apple as in the first option.
8.After complete drying, you can coat the apples with colorless varnish, or you can use PVA glue. In the second version, the apples are covered with two layers of glue. At the same time, gloss appeared.
And here are more apples from different sides.

Hello, dear Maaamites! I have already posted material on the master class for my work colleagues. Today I want to bring to your attention material on decorating products from papier-mâché. I would be glad if someone is seriously interested in this material, and perhaps someone will be fascinated by this technique.
At my disposal turned out to be: two shapes - round and heart-shaped (cake lids, plastic cup (I think they bought honey there) and a glass bottle with a wide neck.
Forms (round and heart) I filled it with mass papier-mâché, leveling the surface. After their forms dried, I pulled out two paper “cakes” - a circle and a heart. The inside of the glass was coated with the paste. After drying, it turned out to be a paper glass. The bottle was coated with the paste, of course, on the outside. The result is a blank vase.
Having prepared the drawings you like (from napkins and decoupage cards, paints, PVA-based putty, PVA glue, millet, semolina, brushes, I got to work.
Any product must be primed before decorating. For the circle, “heart” and vase, white acrylic was used as a primer. dye, for a glass - just PVA glue.
"Heart" decorated with flowers from a decoupage card, along the edge painted, in the middle - sprinkled with semolina.
Circle: in the center - a motif from decoupage card;
Vase: angels - a drawing cut out of a napkin;
ivy - from decoupage card, dye;
the bottom of the vase is putty with millet.
Cup: roses - a design cut out of a napkin;
the top of the glass is PVA-based putty mixed with millet; dye.
These are the crafts I made.
A mass of papier-mâché. MK from Tatyana Bushmanova.
Many thanks to the talented master for a very useful MK!
Hurray, here we are preparing a plastic mass of papier-mâché.
I won’t tell you how many ingredients I went through; anyway, you can’t always buy many of the elements in our stores.
Anyone who wants to add wallpaper glue instead of PVA should take into account that such products will shrink more, since we dilute the wallpaper glue with water.
P.S. For those who will copy the master class, please indicate the original source.
Girls, I’m adding. I don’t sculpt from this mass (as you can see from my products), I SPREAD IT IN THIN LAYERS TO DRY. And, since toilet paper comes in different qualities, try a little at a time, don’t mix a bucket at once.
We will need: toilet paper (the kind of gray one that quickly soaks in water, the weight of one roll is about 50 grams), PVA glue (thicker), any putty (preferably fine-grained, even oil-glue, even latex), mosquito net (the same , which is attached to the windows, can be replaced with another stronger fabric).
Rip toilet paper into pieces (you don’t have to tear it, it will get soggy on its own).
Fill with hot water.
And the most interesting thing is that I use a plunger. We begin to munch on our paper porridge. Anyone who doesn’t mind a blender can use it (it certainly won’t harm him or his stomach).
The result was paper porridge.
We pour our porridge in portions into a mesh (the idea was to sew bags from the mesh and squeeze them in washing machine, but have not yet gotten around to this experiment).
Squeeze as hard as possible.
We get these paper poops. Using your hands, break it into smaller pieces.
Next, we take a food processor (for those who don’t have one, I don’t even know what to recommend), pour in our paper in portions and grind it. While it's grinding, you can eat something delicious :)))
Grinding...
We get fibrous grits, similar to shredded boiled chicken meat (don’t even try this on your teeth).
So we got a lot of paper grain.
I forgot to add some soap product in the materials ( liquid soap, fairies) I have Aos. I pour about 1 tablespoon into the paper crumbs.
I add about 5 tbsp of putty.
I pour the glue a little at a time so as not to overdo it, slowly mix it in the process and bring it to the desired condition. Then I kneaded this mass with my feet (I didn’t show you my feet so as not to embarrass you).
And what we have in the end is about (I went to weigh) 2500 grams of papier-mâché mass, which in consistency resembles shortbread dough.
Conclusions: what did putty give us (a more plastic mass, which will later be easier to sand), soap (gave us smoothness, plasticity and non-stickness to our hands), and glue (gave us fastening properties).
Sometimes I also make a mixture with the addition of blue clay (instead of putty). This gives us stronger strength, but more shrinkage. Products are sanded with the addition of heavier clay.
So, when creating the decanter, I used papier mache and decoupage techniques.
For work I needed:
Toilet paper roll
PVA glue
Three-layer napkins with a pattern
Glass (empty) bottle
Twine (scourge)
A little self-hardening modeling compound
Acrylic paints
Acrylic varnish
To start, I tore a roll of toilet paper into small pieces.
Why did I decide to resort to papier mache technique in this work???
My bottle was flat and I wanted to give the future decanter a pot-bellied appearance.
I applied the mixture to the bottle, forming the intended shape.
I decided to make a small window on the side at the bottom so that the contents of the decanter could be seen.
But later, during operation, it turned out that a small window at the top of the bottle should have been left transparent.
I left the bottle to dry for about a day. After drying, using a stationery knife, I carefully cut off the irregularities around the neck of the bottle.
I sanded out the rough spots and coated the bottle with acrylic primer.
I tore out fragments from three-layer napkins with Egyptian motifs.
Before gluing, I separated only the top layer of paint from the napkins. And using PVA glue
(if required, dilute in a small amount of water) and with brushes I glued the fragments onto the decanter in pre-selected places.
After drying, you can apply paint. I chose sand shades. I applied it using a sponge swab.
I got some kind of imitation of a clay jug.
When the paint had dried, I added a drop of gold acrylic paint to the gold leaf and, using a sponge and wiping motion, added a little shine.
Now, since this is a decanter, we need to make a stopper. Hardware stores sell these rubber bottle caps.
In my case, it is green with a removable butterfly at the top. I took off the butterfly and put it aside.
To decorate the cork, I needed twine and a hot glue gun.
I inserted the cork into the bottle and measured the distance to which it fits tightly.
I made a mark - the twine will be wound from this place.
I wound the twine in a spiral, grabbing each new turn with a drop of hot glue.
The neck of the bottle was also decorated with twine.
Instead of a butterfly, I also had to come up with something and I remembered that my parents gave my husband a pendant with
Egyptian symbols, supposedly his name is written on it.
From the self-hardening modeling compound, I formed a flat oval blank for the impression.
I left it to dry for about a day.
Then I covered it with gold acrylic paint, and then with acrylic varnish.
The twine on the neck of the bottle and on the cork was tinted with brown acrylic paint.
I glued the medallion with hot glue to the place where the butterfly used to be.
Now you can varnish the product.
Decanter "Egypt" is ready!!!
