Easter is the lightest holiday, which is usually celebrated by the whole family at a large table with the most dear guests. A great new idea is to decorate the interior with Easter garlands to pair with vases and baskets of painted eggs. Their creation can be a wonderful leisure time for all family members, especially for children.
It is necessary
- - colored paper;
- - a simple pencil;
- - scissors;
- - cardboard;
- - needle;
- - threads;
- - thin cord.
Instructions
Step 1
Use a needle to poke holes at both ends of each egg and blow the contents out of the shell. Rinse, dry well, and color with food coloring.
Step 2
For each color, choose a deep bowl and fill it with water so that it covers the entire egg. Dissolve the colorants in bowls according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 3
Dip the shell in the dyed water. Keep in mind that the longer the egg is in the dye, the more intense the shade will be.
Step 4
To obtain pastel colors, 5 minutes will be enough, and for saturated bright colors - 10 minutes. Remove the shell from the dye and fix it upright on skewers or toothpicks to dry quickly.
Step 5
Don't be afraid to experiment! Try mixing dyes for new colors. Pass the tape into the eye of the needle and pass it through the holes in the prepared shells.
Step 6
Alternate colors at your discretion. When the garland is of the required length, decorate it with ribbon bows and hang it up.
Step 7
To create the second garland, draw patterns using cardboard and a simple pencil. These can be images of hares, carrots, chickens, flowers.
Step 8
Cut out the template along the contour and, attaching cardboard pictures to colored paper, make "copies". The number of copies depends on the desired length of the string.
Step 9
Then, with a needle, punch two holes in each part and thread a cord through them, thus connecting all the components into one garland.
Step 10
Decorate your room or Easter table with a garland. If desired, the decor made of colored paper can be repeated in decorating cakes, cupcakes, or they can be used to designate places for guests.
