This is fun, colorful, easy and pretty.
What we need:
- yogurt caps, all of the same kind, we used 56,
- thin wire,
- pliers,
- small drill, like a drummel, use glue if you prefer;
- acrylic paint;
- varnish
- soft brush
- swabs.
- Wash the caps;
- Let them dry;
- Place the caps on the table and see the format you want to give to your frame;
- Take 2 caps;
- Use the drill to open a small hole on each cap side wall;
- Use the pliers to cut the wire (about 6cm);
- Fold the wire in half, like a clamp;
- Pass one end through the holes, pull the clamp up and tighten down with pliers;
- With your fingers push wire ends down, to the opposite direction, and then again with the pliers tight it;
- Repeat the operation for all the caps;
- You can do line by line, then link the several lines, or you can do it in spiral, like the picture shows;
- Before using the drill mark the spot with a pen;
- If you are using glue is much easier, just apply the glue and lean the caps.
- When you are done clean all the surface with alcohol;
- Let it dry;
- Use your imagination to paint it, we made some silly faces;
- Use varnish to finish the job;
- Use the swab to paint the eyes;
Everyone can be an artist!
Enjoy!
