Hello nice people, today I will give you information about some crafts, I hope you like them and it is useful.

Are you one of the people who accumulate tons of cardboard at home hoping to give them a second use that never comes? Have you seen wonderful crafts but do not know very well how to transform your sad cardboard into fascinating crafts?

If the answer to these two questions is yes, stay a few more minutes because I am going to tell you everything I know about cardboard crafts.

1. One layer (0.9-4.2 mm)
2. Two layers (2.6mm-7.6mm)
3. Three layers (> 10.0 mm)
4. Honeycomb panel (12.0-50.0 mm)

The cartons most used for crafts correspond to the first three groups, because on the other hand the fourth will be more difficult to supply as we only find in boxes of products with high weights (large appliances, heavy furniture, etc.).

But, what is the cardboard that I should choose? the only differences between one and the other are the thickness of the sheet and therefore the strength of it, being greater the greater the number of layers or waves. Despite the previous clarification maybe you still do not have very clear what cardboard you should use, well, here a new advice so that definitely there are no doubts:

1. If the cardboard is not going to have to support weight, it only serves to store things inside (desk organizer, pen holder, poster, etc.). It uses one-layer cardboard since this is the one with the least resistance.
2. If your craft needs to support a moderate weight (shelf, drawer, etc.), I recommend that you use double-layer cardboard, thicker the higher the load you have to support.

Once we have clear the cardboard that we are going to use, we will need to decide what we will use to cut it.

On the other hand, before getting down to work, we will need to have at hand the adhesive that best suits our craft.
1. White tail. This is the best option for cardboard, but we have to have the patience and time necessary for drying.
2. Hot silicone. If we do not have the necessary time to apply white glue, this option will allow us to continue working a few seconds after applying it, although we will have to be as fast as we can because otherwise the silicone will be dry before we can join the pieces of our craft .
3. Instant glue. This is perhaps the least recommended option since the cardboard is very absorbent and the union may not be entirely reliable.

so we only have to know what finish we want to give our craft
1. Acrylic paint. This finish is the simplest and will give a great touch to your crafts with cardboard, yes, this will be achieved if you apply the paint evenly without producing marks. Bear in mind that, since the paint is moistened with cardboard, you should put weight on it once the paint is dry, so the cardboard will not deform.
2. Cardboard This is the one that I have always used, since it is fast and I can continue working once I have placed it, for this you can choose to use white glue or double-sided adhesive tape, in the first case do not forget to apply weight to avoid the cardboard is deformed when applying the white glue.
3. Letterhead. This technique allows us to reinforce our pieces with small pieces of newspaper and white glue diluted in water, as well as to finish them by applying a paint that covers the entire surface once dry. This is the most laborious but recommended process when we want our craft to have resistance.

Christmas (Wendesnay)

With the socks that you do not need you can make snowmen like these. You will need socks, rice to fill, some pieces of cloth and buttons. Cut one end of the sock (toe) and tie the other end with a thread. Fill it with rice, giving it a round shape, fasten the sock again and fill in another smaller ball. Hit her eyes and nose, make a scarf from a piece of cloth. The part of the sock you cut will serve as a hat

PAPER FLOWERS: CLAVELES (Thursday)

alondra_quinones — 2018-11-08 23:39:45 UTC

To create tissue paper carnations, you have to fold and cut the paper to create a small square with several layers of paper-ours was about 10 × 10 cm. Make it circular with scissors, cutting the edges. When you have it, turn the edges inward, alternately forward and backward, as if it were an accordion. Once you have a strip of paper, tie a piece of wire in the center. Little by little, go opening the pieces of paper, forming the tissue paper flower. To top it off, take a piece of duct tape and stick your flower to a wooden stick.

Again we can see in the images that it is possible to embellish and use products and materials that we think we should throw away, such as egg shells. Look at the design of adornments in the upper photograph, is not that great? If we keep the shells in one piece with the empty interior, these can serve as a container to create mini scenes inside, it is a really great design.
