Raising Sand Home Improvement

Vases are decorative elements required in every house, because they allow us to dispose of properly the floral arrangements.

To extricate the traditional models and common, we propose an original vase lined with small cubed of mirror, similar to the balls of mirrors that are used in the discos as ornamentation.

How to make a vase coated with mirrors:

To make this vase we can use a vase old, a tin of containing a bottle of whisky, a pot of old glass, a container cylindrical ceramic, etc. The important thing is that our recipient is cylindrical shape and that its surface is as smooth and mature possible to set correctly the mirrors.

Materials:

- 1 Container cylindrical (glass, tin, ceramic, etc. )
- Newspaper
- Cola vinyl
- Glue gun
- Fillings plastic
- Brilliantine silver
- Mirrors of 2×2cm
- Wax liquid

First lined the container with newsprint. Large paper in the cola vinyl and we apply on the container ensuring that the cover everything. In the same way apply seven layers and let it dry well. This may take several days.

When dry, will match edges with a sandpaper. Apply a layer of plastic fillings fine and let it dry completely.

We sanding and carefully removed the dust. We are now in terms of paste the mirrors with the glue gun. We will try to distribute in rows as couples possible (we can help with wires or sticks skewer). Let it dry.

Among the mirrors we remain hollow spaces that fill with the fillings and withdraw the surplus with a damp cloth.

The boards can cover with wax with the brilliantine, giving an effect more pleasing to the boards.

For the mirrors are brighter, we can clean carefully with the tip of a cloth embedded in alcohol.

The screens screens are articulated formed by different panels that are us and articulated together by means of hinges. Are originating in China and were used to protect the rooms at the movies.

These decorative elements are ideal for separate environments, curbing air currents or to create corners of intimacy within a room. Can consist of two, three or more panels.

The manufacture of screens can be done using a variety of techniques. The screen is a light-element and malleable, so that offers multiple uses and allow moved with ease, even removing and save when needed.

The screens can have solid panels or be frames lined with different elements (paper, cloth, etc. can also be used other materials, both for the frames and panels massifs of the screens: bamboo, wood, stainless steel, wrought iron, aluminum.

How to make a screen of panels massifs:

We Will Make a screen with three panels clumps of wood 1.3A that we are going to decorate with wallpaper sticker.

Materials:

• 3 Plates rectangular 1.3A of birch 180×50cm
• 8 Hinges (should allow the rotation in both directions)
• Screwdriver
• Wallpaper sticker
• Cutter

To make our screen need a spacious area to work. Align in soil the three panels and mark the location of the hinges. Should equidistant between himself and his separation may not be more than 24 inches. The hinges superior and inferior, cannot be far more 8cm of the edges upper and lower.

Then we have our brands, across the surface of the panels to make sure that is smooth, thereby improving the adhesion of the role. Clean to eliminate any particle of dust.

To send the hinges we first which are toward the ends of the panels and then the plants.

When we have the hinges placed apply the wallpaper. Cut six rectangles of the size of the panels, leaving a margin by potential errors. The glue beginning with the top and down smoothing with a rule or a splint, that would eliminate the bubbles.

When we finish of covered our screen, cut paper strips the width of the panels and recoat the edges of each panel.

If you have surplus of paper, the cut with the cutter.

We can decorate our screen in other ways, without using wallpaper, for example by painting smooth or with designs, we can also use the technique of decoupage.
