Crafts from eggs: how to make? How to make an egg empty.

Many centuries ago, Chinese and Vietnamese lacquer artists came up with a wonderful idea - to use eggshells for their miniatures. Craftsmen have noticed: thin cracks that form when you press on its surface create beautiful pattern, which resembles a cracked rock, a wall that has not been painted for a long time, or an ancient fresco.

Eastern masters turned the main disadvantage eggshells- fragility - its greatest value and they began to use the shell of eggs in the image of various buildings and trees.

This is how the technique appeared crackle- creating a pattern of cracks with an antique effect. And the cracks themselves that form on the surface, regardless of the material used to make the mosaic, began to be called craquelure.

Let's imagine ourselves at least for a moment as talented oriental craftsmen and try to make an Easter fresco. Eggshell mosaic is a wonderful craft for a school exhibition and a great souvenir for a friend for Easter.

You will need:

eggshell,
paper napkin with a pattern,
PVA glue,
brush, sponge,
sheet of paper for drawing,
cardboard sheet,
watercolor paints,
oil crayons,
soda and salt.

1. To prepare the shell for fresco, soak it for 30 minutes in 500 ml of water and add a spoonful of salt and the same amount of soda.

Remove the shell from the water and remove the thin white film underneath - this will make it easier to grind the mosaic material.

2. Choose a napkin Easter themed, unfold and cut out ¼, that is, one full-fledged drawing. I chose a napkin with a bunny and his mother. Now cut a sheet of cardboard according to the size of the napkin and generously coat it with PVA glue.

3. Glue the eggshell to the cardboard, carefully pressing it against the surface of the workpiece.

The shells should cover the entire area of the future fresco.

4. Did you do it? Wonderful! Now take a sponge and lightly press it against the shell-covered surface - this way you will remove excess glue and make the workpiece more uniform.

5. Take the cut out part of the napkin and separate its top layer with the pattern.

6. Carefully glue the napkin to the workpiece. Lightly press the pattern on top with a sponge to create irregularities characteristic of an eggshell.

The fresco is ready, but if you want to frame it, glue the picture to a piece of drawing paper and decorate it to your taste.

That's all! An Easter mosaic made from eggshells will make your holiday brighter and will certainly attract the admiring glances of your guests.

As children, many of us made mischievous piglets and Christmas tree decorations from eggshells, as well as flowers from cardboard egg cells - using master classes in the magazines “Murzilka” and “Pioneer”.

Good afternoon, today I decided to upload a selection of ideas for crafts made from eggshells. Here you will find the simplest and interesting crafts made from eggs, suitable for children. They are easy for children to make with their own hands, if they get a little help from adults. The crafts presented below can be taken for creative competition V kindergarten and school. You can create tabletop theaters from egg crafts (this will be discussed below). And of course decorate festive table on Holy holiday Easter. All this will be discussed in our article.

So let's see what eggshell crafts you can make.

Idea #1

Nest with birds.

Take some wrapping paper and cut it into small narrow strips, we crumple this paper cutting - and from such dry blades of grass we form a nest. Glue the beak and wings onto the eggshell. Draw the eyes.

This the simplest egg crafts accessible to young children. Unless, of course, you convince them in advance not to test empty eggs for strength, do not press with your finger or squeeze with your palm.

And here’s a little trick for you (look at the photo below). There are large and small eggs on sale. If you buy both sizes, you can paint small ones in yellow , leave large ones white. And then insert yellow painted ones into large white shells and decorate them as yellow chicks hatching from white eggs.

You can develop this idea of chicks and add mother hen. We make chickens from eggs painted yellow - we place them in an egg cassette. We make a chicken from salt dough, dry it in the oven, and decorate it with gouache. And we sit the chickens from the eggs behind. We decorate the craft with green grass (cut green paper, or green threads). Add watercolor-painted feathers from the pillow.

You can have roosters in a chicken family. With a paper comb and a fluffy tail. Strips of paper for the tail are cut with scissors and twisted around a cylindrical object (bottle, hairspray can).

QUESTION: What glue is used to glue paper to eggshells?

ANSWER: PVA glue will do (stationery or construction glue, it doesn’t matter, the composition is the same, only the second one is 2 times cheaper).

DOUBLE SIDED duct tape is also suitable - this holds the paper on the shell best.

You can use pieces of cardboard egg cassettes. We cut out a cell from a cassette box and play with its shape in order to bring it closer to something similar to a bird.

A chicken craft made from eggs can be decorated with PLASTICINE parts. Sculpt the scallop, beak and paws. If you make cockerels, you can also fashion a tail from plasticine (from a thin, lightweight plasticine plate). And the cockerels can be placed on high legs (make holes in the bottom of the shell and insert cocktail straws) - or without holes, just attach the straws to plasticine.

And also great idea- this is to buy small QUAIL EGGS in the store. They are just the right size for baby chicks. You need to paint the quail shells yellow. And plant these small eggs inside large chicken shells. The result is a chicken family - a rooster, a hen and babies that have just hatched from the eggshell.

Idea No. 2

BIRDS from eggs.

And other birds can also be made from eggshells - TOUCANS, PARROTS, PEACOCKS, PENGUINS, BUFFINS, TITMS.

These are the owls you get if you paint their shells into different painting zones. And decorate the boundaries between the zones with beads (for beauty and contrast). And if you don’t have the strength to tinker with beads (we’re not Faberge), then you can decorate the boundaries of the zone with DOTS WITH a simple THICK MARKER, stick them and that’s it - we’ll get the same bead effect only cheaper and faster.

Then add eye stickers and stick the wings behind (everything is attached perfectly to double-sided tape).

Or the design of the owl craft from eggs can be more simple. It looks quite beautiful if the owl’s wings have a patterned color (cut from a piece of wallpaper or gift wrapping). It’s also beautiful when the eyes are shaped like a flower with petals. Legs for an owl from eggs can be fashioned from plasticine or cut out of thick cardboard or thick felt.

Idea No. 3

TABLE THEATER.

If you take cardboard rolls and insert an egg into the top socket of the roll. Then we will get a blank for a character in a tabletop theater. You can take a roll ready-made - from toilet paper– and wrap it in colored paper. And then decorate our character

Depending on the color and design of the egg and paper roll, we will get a GREEN frog, a SPOTTED cow, a BROWN dog, a YELLOW chicken, etc. (see photo of egg crafts below).

You can make any characters out of eggs. Try to make them resemble mussel personalities and play small TV shows in the tabletop theater.

Instead of cardboard rolls you can use ready-made plastic coasters for eggs (as in the photo of crafts below).

You can find small ones for sale plastic cups and use them as a basis for theatrical crafts.

Eggshells for egg crafts can be painted with GOUACHA and then covered with nail polish or sprayed with hairspray - this will make the color BRIGHTER and the surface of the egg will become shiny and smooth like plastic.

You can make crafts with Christmas themes from eggs (as in the photo below).

You can act out your favorite fairy tales by preparing special decorations for your character. In such an interesting environment, your children will play with their crafts with great delight.

You can make a tropical island and populate it with animals from hot countries. Make one character every evening... your child will be intrigued by which animal will be next, and will look forward to creative gatherings with colored paper, a hardworking mom and a gambling dad.

But I liked the idea below, where a double-leaf egg cassette turns into an island zone and a sea zone. And from eggs we make crafts - characters inhabiting the earth’s firmament and the depths of the sea (photo below). A very original and long-lasting egg craft for children.

Idea No. 4. Crafts from eggs

with fluffy wire.

And here’s another idea that fluffy wire can be an additional visual medium for making crafts from eggshells. From fluffy wire It’s good to make tails for mice, cats and pigs. The wire brushes can be the tentacles of a crab, or the eyes on the legs of a snail or the same crab.

Here are some more springs that are used as the feet and ears of hares.

Idea No. 5

HARNES made from shells.

And here is a cheerful family of white rabbits. White bunnies with pink ears are the cutest egg craft. Regular markers help to draw the face, and the ears are made of paper.

You can depict a bunny by placing the egg on its side - stick it on a cardboard backing, and stick a muzzle on the front - a nose made of plasticine or a decorative pom-pom.

Short pieces of egg can serve as a stand for this egg craft. plastic straws(or strips of paper twisted into a tight tube) - attach the legs with hot glue or plasticine, or double-sided tape (left craft in the photo below).

A low ring made of cardboard can serve as a stand for the hare (right photo below).

Parts for the eggshell hare can be cut out of colored felt. The result is a bright, elegant craft for children.

Idea No. 6

Shell animals

Crafts for children made from eggs most often depict animals - forest or domestic. Here are some cute eggshell pigs. It is better to make piglets from dark eggs from speckled hens.

But we make a cow from a white shell and draw spots on it with a black marker.

In black and white color scheme Crafts made from eggs look beautiful - PENGUIN and PANDA.

I also like tricks with bug-eyed crafts. Bulging eyes on egg crafts They look good not only on frogs, but also on cockerels and bunnies.

Crafts from broken shells.

If your shells are damaged, then this is not a reason for tears - this is the first step to a new egg craft idea.

Like these ones original crafts for children, you can come up with shells with a damaged barrel.

Podkli from eggs.

FOR BOYS.

All boys will love the divers theme.

You can make a pot-bellied submarine craft from eggs. And make several enemy boats that will lie at different depths of your underwater world made from a TV box.

You can make a sea out of blue cellophane and throw a toothy shark into it.

You can also build a flying saucer out of a basin and populate it with little green men. Cute aliens with three eyes will be your boys' favorite toys for a long time.

And for the girls I'll love playing egg town. Little Kinder Surprise dolls will stroll along the streets of such a cozy town and have picnics in cozy gardens in the backyard.

And girls also like cats. If we make Kitty’s head with a white egg and put it on a roll of cardboard (like the aliens from the photo above), then we will get a favorite toy for your daughter.

You can ALSO poke a neat hole in the egg pour in liquid wax from a candle and insert a stick- so we will get theatrical craft on a stick. And it will be possible to act out puppet-egg theater performances behind a screen, holding a character on a stick (photo below). Kids really like this craft for children; they enjoy playing with such toys on sticks.

And thanks to the hardened wax inside the shell, such a craft will be even stronger and more durable.

SPRING CRAFTS from eggs.

The spring season is rich in Easter crafts from eggs. That's why eggshells became the subject holiday decor during the Easter season.

You can use your wits and come up with your own spring crafts from eggs. In the meantime, I will show you those that I managed to find.

Here are the shell vases for miniature bouquets spring flowers - crocuses, coltsfoot, snowdrops, primroses.

You can insert a cocktail straw into an egg shell. And wrap the egg in crepe paper. And we will receive tulip on a stem. Add juicy green leaves and form a spring craft - a bouquet of eggs.

Can be put on eggshells petal skirts (photo below) and also arrange a spring bouquet of eggs. This egg craft is suitable for children 5 years old. We fold a sheet of paper into a triangle as for cutting out a snowflake - but instead of snowflake patterns we draw 2 on it oval petals(with a heart) and give it to the child. He cuts out the petals and cuts the center corner of the folded triangle along a rounded line. We unfold it and get a petal circle with a hole for putting on the egg.

Skirts with petals can be cut out of felt - this material is lighter than cardboard and bright in color.

You can make a series of cacti from eggs. Great craft made from eggs, accessible to children - simply paint the eggs with green gouache and draw the needles with white paint.
