Acrylic is a product of modern technology. It is a type of plastic that, with the help of various reagents and molding methods, can be changed, becoming hard, transparent, soft, elastic or even liquid. The unique properties of acrylic make it possible to use it in a wide variety of applications from the manufacture of baths and kitchen countertops, to the creation of paints, adhesives and the possibility of using it in nail extensions and the design of accessories.
It is necessary
- - acrylic Powder;
- - liquidator;
- - a special brush;
- - napkins.
Instructions
Step 1
For those who are taking the first steps in mastering the acrylic sculpting process, it is recommended to start with simple compositions - images of flowers, insects. Do not overuse multicolor in your drawing in order to avoid bad taste.
Step 2
The acrylic sculpting technology assumes the presence of several components - non-shiny acrylic powder and monomer (liquid) - a substance that hardens the powder when mixed. The resulting mixture is easily applied to the surface while maintaining its color.
In addition, you will need a special brush, napkins for wiping it and a small set of jewelry - gold threads, rhinestones, etc.
Step 3
For example, here's how you can apply a drawing to a mobile phone. First, its surface must be degreased, after which - carefully dip the brush into the prepared monomer, slightly squeezing its edge against the glass, and then immerse the brush in a jar of acrylic powder for a second.
Step 4
If everything is done correctly, then a tiny ball is formed at the tip of the brush, having the consistency of toothpaste, which must be used for sculpting within half a minute, otherwise the ball will freeze.
Step 5
Use a stencil if you're unsure of your own artistic talent. Please note that the stencil must be attached (glued) very tightly.
Step 6
After applying acrylic to the surface using the same brush, give it the necessary configuration, and carefully work out the smallest details of your pattern.
Step 7
If there was not enough time to sculpt the figurine, then you can finish it using a metal nail file with a sharp end. However, experienced craftsmen do not advise often resorting to its help, since noticeable traces remain after the file.
Step 8
After hardening, you can apply transparent acrylic, gel or prepared jewelry - sparkles, rhinestones to the colored layer.
