Instructions
Step 1
For magnets, prepare birch bark of various shades: yellow, reddish, black. Black bark is harvested from a tree that has been in the water for a long time. First, make a sunflower head from yellow birch bark. Apply an embossing with an awl - a simple "mesh". Touch up the part with potassium permanganate from the bottom and wipe with a solvent, highlighting its upper part. You will get a smooth transition of the shade from light to shadow.
Step 2
Subsequently, cut out the petals from the yellow birch bark and displace the veins with an awl. Glue the petals to the flower head. After a birch bark of a reddish hue, carve a stem from the leaves, on which also depict a pattern. Collect and hold the flower together.
Step 3
For the purpose of making a butterfly, prepare a cardboard (base). Draw a bug. You can make two sketches at once: one on the base on which the birch bark parts will be glued; and the other for "dismemberment." Next, cut the second insect picture into pieces. Peel off one piece of cardboard wing and use as a template. Put it on the red bark, circle it, cut it out.
Step 4
Also outline and cut out the rest of the torso and glue them onto the first cardboard sketch (base). The head of a butterfly can be made from small pieces of black leather, and the neck from black birch bark. Black specks on the wings are formed in the following way. Cut holes in the wings, and glue black birch bark on the base so that it shines through through the "windows". Consistently, based on the details, compose the whole image of the insect.
Step 5
Make the eyes from white birch bark. Cut through the pupils with a punch (2 mm). Glue the finished ladybug to the flower. For the strength of the composition, attach another layer of cardboard from below and glue them together. Attach a magnet to the back of the craft with a glue gun. Craft other ladybugs in the same way.
Step 6
Rose from birch bark. Make a flower bud. Cut a birch bark blank into an oblong rectangle with two rounded corners on the short side. Bending the upper left corner, begin to twist the bud.
Step 7
Fasten it to the branch, fixing it with Moment glue. Next, prepare the drop-shaped rose petals. Glue the petals in a circle, starting with the smallest and ending with the largest. Make sepals and attach with glue as well.
Step 8
For the finished rose, arrange the stem with jagged leaves. Cut foliage blanks of various shapes and sizes and attach with glue to the stem.
Step 9
Prepare birch bark for baubles, small pieces of birch bark are also suitable. For birch bark beads, make triangular blanks. Draw rectangles on the birch bark, then divide them into triangles.
Step 10
Cut a piece of birch bark into separate triangular pieces. Then roll each into a tube, starting at the widest part. Spread the sharp ends with glue and fix with a pin until they dry.
Step 11
Measure the elastic to the width of your wrist. Gather the required number of prepared tube beads on the spandex thread. Secure the rubberized thread with a knot. For beauty, you can attach several pendants to the bauble.
