DESCRIPTION OF WORK
1. Using a thick drill for wood, carefully manually drill holes in styrofoam parts: in the balls and medallions in the middle, in the heart and egg from the narrow end in length. Then according to paint the photo of the styrofoam part with acrylic paint and Efcostone-Farbe paint, while letting the first coat of paint dry well and then apply the second coat (Fig. 1).
2. The motives of the petal, the middle of the flower and the butterfly from the sheet of motifs should be increased to the desired size, transferred to thin cardboard and cut. The resulting patterns should be laid out on glued plywood, the contours should be drawn, paying attention to the fact that there are no holes from the branches on the details (Fig. 2).
3. Cut wooden parts along the contour with a jigsaw or circular saw. In the butterfly on the head above, drill two holes with a diameter of 1.5 mm and a depth of 1 cm with a thin drill. Additionally, cut out both small parts for attaching the stick from thicker plywood. In the middle of the front side of the sawn parts, drill a hole with a diameter of 11 mm for a stick with a thick drill. Surfaces and edges of parts should be treated with a sanding pad.
4. Prime the surfaces of the parts with white acrylic paint (paint paint with water in a ratio of 1: 1). After the paint has completely dried, if necessary, treat all surfaces with a sanding pad or sandpaper. Then paint all parts with acrylic paints according to. Photo.
5. Stick waterproof plywood to the inside of the petals.Insert segments in the form of antennae into the holes drilled in the head of the butterfly
floristic wire. Using transparent glue, glue on the ends of the antennae on a bead, glue the pebbles for crafts on plywood parts.
6. The largest balls made of styrofoam and the heart are completely covered with glass fragments in the form of a mosaic. Leave to dry completely.
glue for at least 12 hours (Fig. 3).
7. Dilute grout with water according to manufacturer's instructions. Add a couple of drops of orange or blue acrylic paint to the resulting mass, stir the mass until the desired shade is obtained. Spread the resulting mass evenly on the heart and balls with a spatula. Leave for half an hour until the mass dries. Then moisten the sponge with cold water and remove excess weight from the surface. After final drying remove gray deposits from pebbles with warm water.
8. Lubricate the rear sides of both wooden parts with wood glue and attach them with screws for better stability. Now pin the flower and butterfly onto sticks. Then according to photo one after another to chop parts from styrofoam. So that later on in the garden the styrofoam parts do not slip off the sticks, glue them with a couple of drops of mounting glue (Fig. 4).
