Interior pendant made of threads
In recent years, Western features to celebrate this Bright Holiday have increasingly begun to merge into our traditional Easter customs. First of all, this concerns the use of themed decor in interior design. Easter garlands, bunny bags, Easter trees, etc. become bright decorations in almost every home. By the way, you can make them yourself, and start with the simplest and easiest thing - a non-voluminous interior pendant made of threads.
To work you will need:
Stage 1. Preparatory – fix the template for the suspension on the “working surface”.
The cardboard lid of the box will act as a “working surface”. It could also just be a box, a piece of foam plastic, or any other not very thick and easily pierced surface.
First, we attach a sheet of paper with a drawn (or printed) outline of the future pendant to the work surface with cling film in one layer.
Next, using sewing pins, we mark the outline of the pendant, piercing the base according to the template on top of the cling film. The frequency of pin placement depends on how small you plan to make the “cobweb” pattern from threads.
Stage 2. Main – forming a patterned pendant.
After the outline is completely marked with pins, we trace it along the outer edge with a brush generously moistened with PVA glue.
Before the glue has had time to dry, take the free end of a thread of the same color and wrap it several times around one of the pins at the “top” of the template. In this case, you need to make sure that it is well saturated with glue.
Holding the beginning of the thread at the base of the pin, we wrap the entire outline of the template several times, slightly pulling the thread. Additionally, you can lightly lubricate the top layer of thread with a small amount of glue to make the outline more dense.
Next, from any point we draw the thread in arbitrary directions, forming a patterned “web” inside the outline of the pendant, soaking the thread with glue. In this case, it is not at all necessary to wrap each pin completely. It is enough to “bend it around” and additionally lubricate it with glue.
Having finished forming a pattern from a thread of this color, we also fix its free edge with glue.
Similarly, we make a “drawing” with a thread of a different color. Remove excess glue with a brush or napkin.
Stage 3. Final – we design the pendant.
When the desired pattern is made, the excess glue is removed, we leave the future pendant for a while until the glue dries completely. Remove the pins and separate the pendant from the work surface. Thanks to cling film, this is very easy to do.
We cut off the unnecessary ends of the threads, clean the pendant from any remaining films of glue.
We tie a thread at the top.
And we use the finished product for its intended purpose - decorating the interior for the holiday.
These Easter pendants are very easy to make. Different thread thicknesses, bright colors, and additional decorative elements will allow you to diversify each pendant and make the design even more interesting.
To work you will need:
- template for hanging (the most relevant and simplest shape in this case is an egg);
- cardboard box lid (for fixing the template);
- colored threads;
- cling film;
- sewing pins;
- PVA glue;
- brush;
- scissors.
