Eggshell crafts are interesting creative ideas for creating jewelry with your own hands. DIY eggshell mosaic: a master class on an interesting technique

Good afternoon, today I decided to upload a selection of egg shell craft ideas. Here you will find the easiest and most interesting egg crafts, suitable for children. It is easy for children to make them with their own hands, if adults help them a little. The crafts presented below can be taken for a creative competition in a kindergarten and school. You can create table theaters from egg crafts (this will be discussed below). And, of course, decorate the festive table for the bright holiday of Easter. All this will be discussed in our article.

So let's see what egg shell crafts you can make.

Idea number 1

Nest with birds.

We take wrapping paper and cut it into small narrow strips, we crumple this paper cut - and from such dry blades of grass we form a nest. We glue the beak and wings on the eggshell. We draw eyes.

it the simplest egg crafts available for small children. Unless, of course, you convince them in advance not to test empty eggs for strength, do not push with your finger and do not 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 small paint yellow, large leave white... And then insert yellow dyed ones into large white shells and arrange it like yellow chicks hatched from white eggs.

You can develop this idea of ​​chicks and add mom-chicken... We make chickens from eggs painted yellow - we put them in an egg tray. We make a chicken from salted dough - dry it in the oven - decorate with gouache. And we sit down behind the chickens made of eggs. We decorate the craft with green grass (cut green paper, or green threads). Add the watercolored feathers from the pillow.

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

QUESTION: What glue is used to glue the paper to the eggshell?

ANSWER: PVA glue is suitable (clerical or construction glue is all the same, the composition is the same, only the second is 2 times cheaper).

DOUBLE-SIDED TAPE is also suitable - this is the best way to hold the paper on the shell.

You can use pieces of egg cartons. We cut out the cell from the cassette holder and play around with its shape in order to bring it closer to something that looks like a bird.

This chicken egg craft can be decorated with PLASTYLINE parts. Sculpt the scallop, beak and legs. If you make cockerels, then you can also mold a tail from plasticine (from a thin, lightweight plasticine plate). And the cockerels can be put on high legs (make holes in the lower part of the shell and insert cocktail tubes) - or without holes, simply attach the barrels to plasticine.

It's also a great idea to buy small QUAIL EGGS from the store. The size is just right for baby chicks. We need to paint the quail shells yellow. And put these little eggs inside the big chicken shells. You will get a chicken family - a rooster, a hen and babies just hatched from an eggshell.

Idea number 2

BIRDS from eggs.

And other birds can also be made from eggshells - TOUKANS, PARROTS, PEACOCKS, PENGUINS, SNOWGIRL, TITS.

These are the owls you get if you decorate their shells for different painting zones. And decorate the borders between the zones with beads (for beauty and contrast). And if you don’t have the strength to fiddle with the beads (we’re not Faberge with you), then you can decorate the borders of the zone with DOTS with a simple THICK MARKER, poke around and all the things - we will get the same bead effect only cheaper and faster.

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

Or, the egg craft owl design could be simpler. It looks pretty good if the owl's wings are patterned (cut from a piece of wallpaper, or gift wrapping). It is also beautiful when the eyes are shaped like a flower with petals. Feet for an owl from eggs can be molded from plasticine or cut from thick cardboard or thick felt.

Crafts from eggs.

Idea number 3

TABLE THEATER.

If you take rolls of cardboard and insert an egg into the upper mouth of the roll. Then we will get a blank for the character of the desktop theater. You can take a roll already ready - 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 get a GREEN frog, a SPOTTED cow, a BROWN doggie, a YELLOW chicken, etc. (see photo with egg crafts below).

You can make any characters out of eggs. Try to make them resemble mussel personalities and tear up little TV shows in a table theater.

Instead of cardboard rolls, you can use ready-made plastic egg holders (as in the photo of the crafts below).

Small plastic cups can be found commercially and used as a base for theatrical crafts.

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

Eggs can be used to make Christmas crafts (as in the photo below).

You can play out your favorite fairy tales by preparing special decorations for your character. In such an interesting setting, your children will be happy to play with their crafts.

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

But below I liked the idea where the 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 craft from eggs for children.

Idea number 4. Crafts from eggs

with fluffy wire.

And here's another idea that fluffy wire can be an additional pictorial tool for making crafts from eggshells. It is good to make tails for mice, cats and pigs from fluffy wire. Wire-brushes can be tentacles of a crab, or eyes on the legs of a snail and the same crab.

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

Idea number 5

HARES from the shell.

And here is a cheerful family of white rabbits. White rabbits with pink ears are the cutest egg craft. Regular felt-tip pens help draw the face, and the ears are made of paper.

You can depict a bunny by placing an egg on a barrel - stick it on a cardboard substrate, and stick a muzzle in front - a plasticine spout or a decorative pom-pom.

A stand for such an egg craft can be short pieces of plastic tubes (or strips of paper twisted into a tight tube) - the legs are attached to 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 a hare (right photo below).

Parts for an eggshell hare can be cut out of colored felt. It turns out a bright elegant craft for children.

Idea number 6

Shell animals

Crafts for children from eggs most often depict animals - forest or domestic. Here are the cute eggshell pigs. Piglets are best made from dark eggs, from pockmarked hens.

But we make a cow out of a white shell and draw spots for it with a black marker.

Crafts from eggs - PENGUIN and PANDA - look beautiful in black and white colors.

I also like the goggle-eyed craft techniques. Bulging eyes on egg crafts look good not only for frogs, but also for cockerels and bunnies.

Crafts from broken shells.

If your shells are damaged, then this is not a reason for crying - this is the first step towards a new idea of ​​\ u200b \ u200bworking from eggs.

You can think of such original crafts for children from shells with a damaged barrel.

Podkly from eggs.

FOR BOYS.

All boys will love the diving theme.

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

You can make a sea out of blue cellophane and launch a sharp-toothed shark into it.

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

And the girls love to play egg town. Little Kinder Surprise dolls will stroll the streets of this cozy town and have picnics in the cozy backyard gardens.

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

AND ELSE in the egg, you can pierce a neat hole into it pour liquid wax from the candle and insert stick- so we get a theatrical craft on a stick. And it will be possible to act out the performances of the puppet and egg theater behind the screen, holding the character on a stick (photo below). Kids like this craft very much, they are happy to play with such toys on sticks.

And thanks to the hardened wax inside the shell, such a craft will still be strong and durable.

SPRING CRAFTS from eggs.

The spring season is rich in Easter egg crafts. Therefore, eggshells have become the subject of festive decor during the Easter season.

You can turn on your wit yourself and come up with your own spring egg crafts. In the meantime, I'll show you the ones that I managed to find.

Here are vases for miniature bunches of spring flowers - crocuses, coltsfoot, snowdrops, primroses.

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

You can 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, draw 2 oval petals (with a heart) on it and give it to the child. It carves out the petals and cuts off the center corner of the folded triangle in a rounded line. Expand and get a petal circle with a hole for putting on an 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. A great egg craft available for kids - just paint the eggs with green gouache and paint the needles with white paint.

These are the ideas for crafts from empty eggshells.

Good luck with your creativity.

Master Class. DIY autumn crafts. Working with natural material

Master class: Autumn still life. Eggshell Mosaic

Target: to teach how to perform an eggshell mosaic by design, to be able to design work.

Application: The material is designed for children of grades 4-5, making gifts for birthday, room interior decoration, crafts for an exhibition.

Equipment: gouache paints, brush, PVA glue, colorless varnish, toothpick, black marker, thick cardboard, eggshells, paper napkins.

Step-by-step workflow

Eggshell is one of the most affordable and simple materials for creativity. With its help, you can decorate the interior of any home with amazingly beautiful mosaics. Such work will not leave anyone indifferent.

It might crash

It may be cooked

If you want, into a bird

May turn into. (Egg)

1. We use the shell from raw eggs. Before further use, they must be thoroughly rinsed in cold water, carefully remove the films from the inside and dry.

2. We translate or draw a picture on a finished base (I use thick cardboard). You can outline the drawing with a black marker to make the drawing clear. Let our still life contain autumn flowers, a sprig of mountain ash, a ripe pear, spikelets and maple leaves.

3. The shell is easily glued to PVA. We smear a small area with glue, break it off and lay it, picking it up in shape - as in a regular mosaic.

4. After placing the shell on the drawing, grease the entire surface well with glue and let it dry.

5. We spread the whole drawing with the shell.

6. I decided to fill the empty spaces on the sheet not with a shell, but with an ordinary napkin, creating the effect of unevenness and roughness.

Easter is approaching, which means that many colored eggs will appear in every home. So, it's time to master a new needlework technique: eggshell crafts.

Eggshells are a great material for creativity. And we offer you two options for using it:

Eggshell Crafting Materials and Tools

• eggshell
• PVA glue and brush
• thick cardboard or other surface (box, vase, etc.)
• tweezers
• a small wooden stick, for pressing the shells (great for a manicure stick)
• acrylic paints if the mosaic is made of white shell
• decoupage napkin (if necessary)

First you need to prepare the material. To do this, the collected eggshells are washed in warm water (and for better defatting, you can even dip them into boiling water with a soda solution). After that, the shell must be dried, the inner film removed from it and arranged according to the colors.

Professionals use shells from raw eggs, since the shells that have passed heat treatment lose their hardness, and their surface becomes looser. But for children's crafts, you can use any shell, including the one left over from boiled Easter eggs.

Eggshell Mosaic

To make a do-it-yourself eggshell mosaic, you need a template for the future drawing. If you are artistic, just draw the template on a piece of paper. If not, you can take any drawing intended for coloring by children. All contours are clearly drawn there and usually a large number of colors are not required. Glue the printed sheet onto thick cardboard.

Now we begin to glue the shell. To do this, grease a small fragment of the pattern with PVA glue and put a piece of the shell on top. If the shell is too large, then you just need to press on top with a stick, the shell will crack and break into several small pieces. Make sure that there is approximately the same distance between the shells.

Having filled in one piece of the picture, move on to the next.

After filling in the entire pattern, set it aside until the glue is completely dry. If you used a white shell, then only after drying, the drawing can be painted with acrylic paints.

Finished work must be varnished. The result is a kind of eggshell applique.

See what wonderful pictures of eggshells are made by real craftswomen!

If you decide to do decoupage using eggshells, then first select a blank for future crafts. It can be a box, a housekeeper, a bottle, or even a vase.

Decoupage master class on eggshells in a wooden box

This box is made of wood, so first we sand the entire surface (both internal and external) with sandpaper. If you started decoupage bottles with eggshells, then the surface must first be degreased with alcohol.

It depends only on you how large the pieces of the shell will be and the distance between them.

We fill the entire surface in this way.

And once again we cover everything with a layer of PVA glue.

After that, we cover the entire workpiece in several layers with white acrylic paint.

And we proceed to gluing the napkin, that is, directly to the decoupage itself.

Let me remind you that three-layer napkins are usually used for decoupage. We only need the top layer - the one on which the drawing is. We coat the working surface with PVA glue. If the surface is very large, or you are working with rounded objects (vase, bottle), then it is better to cut the napkin into two or three fragments. We apply a napkin element to the surface and immediately apply PVA glue on top. We brush from the center to the edges to expel air from under the napkin.

Thus, we glue the box on all sides.

Set aside for a while to dry completely.

And then there are two options (depending on your imagination). The finished work can be simply varnished. And you can also age the box. To do this, you can ask for the shells with silver acrylic paint, and apply black pastel on the edges of the box using a foam sponge.

Cut a heart out of cardboard - these are the legs.

Then we glue both ears together.

Glue the napkin circle to the bottom end eggshell is the tummy.

Glue a bow to the base of the ears.

Egg Craft: Swan

Monogamous hearts are tied tightly.

Together forever fate and flight.

And even death, killing a friend,

Swan friendship will not break.

Eduard Asadov

... Perhaps, swans were the most popular among people at all times. And this is not surprising, because such a strong and graceful bird is the true embodiment of beauty. You look at her - and all the problems immediately recede into the background, a state of peace of mind and peace comes.

With the help of the most elementary things, you can create a beautiful swan or even a whole flock of swans from an ordinary egg. For this you will need:

• egg;
• a needle or knife with a sharp end;
• Feathers (can be obtained from the Feather Pillow)
• plasticine;
• cardboard;
• PVA glue;
• beautiful saucer;
• paints.

The hardest part about this craft is getting rid of the contents of the egg. To do this, we make two opposite holes, being careful not to damage the integrity of the shell. One hole should be larger than the other. Then, with effort, blow into a smaller hole, if the yolk does not come out, you need to pierce it with a needle. After that, we thoroughly wash the egg from the inside, if there is a seal, then it is easy to get rid of it with a detergent and a sponge.

Cut out the base from the cardboard, on which the swan will be mounted.

With the help of plasticine, we set the eggshell.

We give it the shape of a thin swan's neck, attach it to the egg from the side where the hole is larger. We decorate the head with red and black plasticine.

Glue the feathers and tail with PVA. You can glue the entire swan with feathers, but then the wings must be selected in a contrasting color.

Now we make an impromptu lake - pour water in a saucer and paint it with paints in blue. Now we can let our swan sail. The craft is ready.

PS: It looks very nice if you also make a black swan. The technology is the same, only the shell must be pre-painted with a marker in black and black feathers must be found.

Egg craft: airplane

In order to create a toy with your own hands, you do not have to be an artist or a designer. What is important is the desire to spend time with the child, to bring him joy and

to plunge into the world of fantasy and carefree childhood for a short while. My story on how to do egg craft... Of course, before making crafts with your own hands, the egg must be thoroughly washed.
Then holes are punctured at both ends - carefully so that the shell does not crack. The next step is to extract the content. The easiest way is to blow the egg white and yolk onto a plate. Be sure to rinse the shell again and rinse the inside with water using a medical syringe. An empty egg is truly a magical thing! You can turn it into a doll, a pig or any other animal, a car, a submarine, a balloon ...

This time the son ordered a plane. To begin with, let's mark with a pencil the places where the tail and wings are attached, the cockpit glass and future windows. Fold the wings and tail of the plane out of thick cardboard.
Don't forget the baby! He is quite able to spread glue on the details or place an asterisk-sticker on the wing. When all the details are ready, let's go back to the body: paint all the "glasses" with a blue felt-tip pen, adjust with a marker for putting inscriptions on the CD.

Separately, cut out the silver stripe from the "chassis" from an old postcard. Now the final assembly: we glue the cardboard parts to the shell with PVA glue (do not forget to "round" them along the silhouette of the egg, crushing them against the edge of the table), install a tip or a propeller that will cover the hole from the needle.

Thus, you can make a whole series of toys for board games, you can turn eggshells into Christmas tree decorations, you can paint them "like a bump" or make a garland by reloading with a satin ribbon - the more varied materials are used, the more interesting it will be for the baby to watch how ordinary objects turn into a mother into an almost living toy.

One tip: prepare stickers, cut threads or cardboard blanks in advance: little fidgets can get bored while you cut out the parts, which means that half the pleasure of the process will be lost.

Eggshell craft: lamb

The creative development of children should always be aimed at doing a variety of DIY crafts. This activity will draw them into a fantasy world and provide an opportunity to share their ideas and thoughts. It is worth noting that you and your child can make any craft out of an empty egg shell, for example, a bird, a pig, a dog, a swan, a fish and much more.

So, to make a lamb, you will need:

• a raw egg;
• cotton wool;
• paper;
• PVA glue;
• quick-drying glue;
• wire;
• black felt-tip pen.

Step 1. Take a raw egg and make two holes in it so that its shell does not crack. Then, gently blow the entire contents of the egg onto a plate. To eliminate the smell, be sure to rinse the inside of the shell with water using a syringe. This procedure must be done several times.

Step 2. Depending on your creative fantasies, you can leave the shell in its natural color or paint it with watercolors.

Step 3. Cut small ears out of paper and glue to the shell on the side where it expands.

Step 4. Tear the cotton wool into small pieces and glue a part of the shell with it.

Step 5. To make the front and back legs of the lamb, take a certain length of wire and bend it into an oval shape. Next, attach short wires to this oval, bending them at the ends so that the lamb does not fall. Now you can decorate its wire legs by covering them with any fabric.

Step 6. Connect the resulting shell and legs by gluing them with quick-drying glue.

Step 7. With a black felt-tip pen, draw eyes on the lamb.

As you can see, create unusual DIY egg crafts very easy. A ready-made lamb will certainly become the main decoration of a child's room, and its production will delight you and your child.
