NAREDI SI ŠTAMPILJKE IZ PLUTOVINASTIH ZAMAŠKOV // MAKE YOUR OWN CORK STAMPS

SLO

Dobila sem komentar, da počnem stvari, ki jih počnejo otroci v vrtcu. V redu?! :D In kaj je narobe s tem? :) Ustvarjanje me sprošča in v tistem trenutku pozabim na vse. Vse kar ustvariš je prav, nič ni narobe. Ne potrebuješ talenta, da lahko ustvarjaš in tudi ne razumem staršev in učiteljev, ki zatirajo otroke s komentarji: "ta risba ni v redu" ali pa: "trava ni roza barve, zelena je!". Večkrat slišim "ti lahko to ustvariš, ti si od tega." Nikdar ne vem točno kaj to pomeni. Kako si lahko od tega? Vsakdo lahko ustvarja, vse kar potrebuješ je samo čas in potem se samo prepustiš svoji domišljiji. :)

I received a comment that I'm doing things that children in the kindergarten do. Ok?! :D But what is wrong with that? :) Creating things is so relaxing and I forget about all the problems out there. Everything you create is correct, nothing is wrong. You don't need a talent to be creative and I don't understand those parents and teachers who criticize and control children with comments such as: "this drawing is not ok" or "grass is not pink, it's green!". I often get a comment like "you can create this, you are that kind of person." What kind of person? I don't get it. Everyone can be creative, all you need is time and then you just need to release your creative spirit out of your head. :)

Danes sem za vas pripravila nov "naredi sam" projekt - kako izdelati žige iz plutovinastih zamaškov. Uporabite jih lahko za okraševanje voščilnic, kuvert, vabil, planerjev, beležk,... in za razliko od krompirjevih, te lahko ponovno uporabite. ;)

Potrebovali boste:

- plutovinaste zamaške

- pisalo (najbolje je deloval kemični svinčnik)

- noži za prosti čas (tanki in debelejši)

- (tempera) barve / blazinico za žige

- čopič (za nanašanje barve)

Today I have a new DIY for you - how to make cork stamps. You can use them to decorate birthday cards, envelopes, invitations, planners, notebooks,... and these stamps last longer than potato ones ;)

You'll need:

- cork bottle stoppers

- pen

- hobby knives (thin and thick)

- paint / ink pad /...

- brush (for applying paint)

Na dno zamaška zarišeš poljubno obliko, črko, številko - karkoli. Izberi nož primerne velikosti - za ravne linije je lahko večji, za bolj kompleksne oblike in krivine pa tanjši. Z nožem sledi narisani črti tako, da ga v zamašek porineš, ne režeš. Ko obrežeš celoten simbol, zamašek zvrneš in počasi zarežeš okrog narisanega. Pazi, da ne zarežeš pregloboko in odrežeš svojega znaka.

Pa še to, imej v mislih, da bodo odtisi zrcalni od narisanega. Jaz sem pri rezanju črke J to pozabila ;)

Draw your design on the bottom side of the cork - you can draw whatever you want, symbols, letters, numbers... Pick a knife - thick one for straight lines and the thin one for more complicated shapes. Cut around your drawing - follow the line by sticking the knife in and out. Don't slice. After you cut around your symbol, put the cork sideways and slowly slice into it, all around your drawing. Don't cut too deep, you will cut off your symbol.

Keep in mind that the designs on the paper will stamp backwards. I forgot that when I was cutting the letter J ;)

Ker nimam blazinice za žige, sem uporabila tempera barve iz tube. S čopičem sem pobarvala svoj znak in ga odtisnila na papir. Pri nanašanju barve je potrebno paziti, da ne nanesemo preveč barve in da barva ni preveč vodena, če želimo dobiti čist odtis. Sicer pa naredite tako, kot si želite - bodite ustvarjalni ;)

I don't have an ink pad, so I've used Tempera paint from a tube. I used a brush to apply it on my symbol and I stamped it on a piece of paper. Don't apply too much paint or the paint that is too watery if you want to get a clear design. Otherwise, do whatever you want - be creative ;)
