Москва). До окрашивания яйца надо мыть мягким мылом губочкой, не вытирать, а дать высохнуть на полотенце. И в кастрюльку я их кладу в перчатке или с помощью тряпочки. Тогда на них не будет пятен. Яйца на фото выше окрашены в хорошем отваре луковой шелухи, а узор нанесен обычным золотым акрилом. Если сделать отвар шалфея (покупная пряность - желтый порошок или оранжевые сухие лепесточки - они лучше), яйца будут золотые. Еще яйца можно покрасить в чае каркаде.

Using balloons, glue and twine, you can also make these lanterns for your wedding – and then bring it home and use it as your very own mid century lampshade. What you will need are: balloons, glue, yarn, tray for glue, corn starch 1/2 cup of Corn starch, 1/4 cup of Warm water, clear fast drying spray paint, hanging lamp cord or fishing line (depending on your desired final product), and a lighting kit if you’re looking for a fully functional lantern. Jessica recommends using a sharpie to mark on the inflated balloon how much room you need to leave for the lighting cord.

She also recommends coating the balloon with vaseline prior to wrapping the yarn coated with glue so it doesn’t stick on the balloon once it’s dry. You can see all the details on Jessica’s blog. Make your own Union Jack. I always adore vintage flags.

Make your own Union Jack

They carry so much history and I wonder if they traveled through war times or were hanging in official buildings. Tomorrow's occasion , the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middelton inspired me to sew the Union Jack and age the flag. First I printed out the flag, pulled the coordinating fabrics out ( the official colour are Pantone 280 and 186). I couldn't help it to get my swatch book out , a sentimental leftover from our printing business. I traced the lines on fabric and used the foundation piece method to do all for corners and sewed the white and red stripes in a log cabin style together. The flag is dipped in English tea for colouring. Then I cut small pieces of steel wool and let it soak with vinegar in a zip-lock bag. This my finished vintage looking flag.
