In summer, the night sky is often clear, so you can lie on your back for hours and admire the starry landscape. All this is uniquely beautiful - the flickering of distant planets, and the barely perceptible gleam of nearby stars, and the deep blackness of space, and the mystical ball of the Moon! .. Although ... why is it unique? The ideal, of course, cannot be achieved, however, it is still possible to come up with something. DIY moon- a project that will help the night sky become a little closer to you. If you are not indifferent to the pictures that you can admire when the Sun slides over the horizon, which appear in the sky when the bulk of your neighbors are already having vivid dreams, you should think about how to make the moon with your own hands... It is fascinating, interesting and, in the end, so beautiful that it takes your breath away!

How to make the moon with your own hands - 5 master classes:

1. Earrings with moon phases

You've probably seen images of the Moon and you know that its surface is not smooth. It is curious that with back side(which we do not see) our satellite is more porous, "perforated". This is due to the fact that due to the gravitational force of the Earth, that part of the Moon that is turned towards our planet has smoothed out, the crust has become thinner.

2. The moon is like a night light

Did you know that moon trees grow on Earth? This is the name given to the plants grown from seeds, which in 1971 the Apollo 14 crew took with them on an expedition to the moon. After orbiting our satellite, the seeds returned home and were successfully planted in the USA, Arizona, as a symbol that denotes the special role of trees in the future of mankind.

3. Wall panel with a painted moon

Four billion years ago (think 4,000,000,000 years ago!) Meteorites left significant craters on the surface of the Moon. So in them, these very depressions that have not smoothed out over such an amount of time due to the low geological activity of the satellite, there is ... water! The moon has no atmosphere, but temperatures are so low that water "lives" there and feels great frozen.

4. A set of jewelry

We are accustomed to considering the Moon round, meanwhile it looks more like an egg - and again the Earth is "to blame" for this with its solid gravity, which over billions of years of existence has managed to stretch the Moon and spoil its ideal round shape. Because of this, the center of the cosmic body is also imperfect - at the Moon it is not at the center at all, but about 2 km from it.

Amazingly light, graceful, airy new Year decoration you can do it yourself in a minimum amount of time.

Snowy moons give the room a stunning volume, make the interior "winter", New Year's, even mysterious and fabulous. These incredible New Year's snowflakes were invented by the magnificent designer Natalya Tikk.

You will need:

Snowflakes of different sizes - plastic (sold now everywhere) or cut out with your own hands from thick white paper, cardboard.

Cardboard or thin plastic for the moon.

Strong thread or fishing line for attaching jewelry.

1. First you need to make a base - the moon (more precisely, the crescent). Cut from thick cardboard or soft thin plastic. The inner part of the moon should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the large snowflake.

2. If there is a hot gun, use it to glue the rays of a large snowflake to the crescent. If there is no pistol among your tools, glue such as "Moment", "Titanium", etc. will help.

3. Attach the middle ones to the large snowflake on both sides. And to them - small. Can be glued, can be tied with a strong white thread, wire, fishing line.

4. As a result, an openwork volumetric snowflake with many rays.

Putting one Moon on the fishing line, it is better to secure it with a knot so that it does not move in the garland. If these New Year's decorations are made in sufficient quantity, the impression is that large snow flakes are falling from above. A very interesting feeling.

But it is not necessary to hang Christmas decorations with garlands from the ceiling. A Christmas tree made using this technique will look original.

MORE NEW YEAR

Moon lamps have become a real trend in recent times. And this is quite understandable: just imagine what a mysterious and magical atmosphere reigns in a dark room, in which its own full moon is burning.

We found a way to do this magic at home yourself. Now the dream is real, let's get started!

You will need:
round balloon(you can also use a thin rubber ball)
PVA glue
paper towel
marker and plastic utensils
lamp with socket
brush
voluminous sponge with a rough texture
acrylic paint in ocher and ivory colors

Progress:
1. First, inflate the balloon and use a marker to mark the area around the knot as shown in the photo. The ball must be exactly round shape rather than oval.


2. Cover the ball with white glue, diluted in equal proportions with water. You can dip the ball into the glue, as shown in the photo, or paint it with a brush.


3. Using a paintbrush, glue the entire ball with pieces of paper towels. This technique is called papier-mâché. When finished, brush the surface of the ball thoroughly to remove any unevenness and roughness. Repeat the papering procedure two more times. This will make the ball hard and opaque.


4. When the ball is dry, paint it acrylic paint ivory or any similar shade. You can mix, for example, white with ocher to get this color.
5. Find a sponge with large pores, as the effect of simulating the surface of the moon depends on them. After blotting the sponge in ocher paint, carefully print it over the entire surface of the ball. Of course, somewhere you need a stronger pressure, somewhere a double layer - "copy" the moon from photos on the Internet in order to achieve a more realistic effect.


6. When the moon is dry, use a knife to cut the area around the knot that you traced with a marker and use tweezers to remove the balloon itself. Only the paper with the pattern will remain. Place a lamp with a socket inside or put the moon as a lampshade on a floor lamp - a matter of your taste.
Turn off the light. Now you can enjoy the warm ocher glow of your own moon!

Do you want to get an unusual piece of jewelry out of nothing? It's easy to do!

How to make a moon out of paper and other interesting ideas

The Paper Moon will come in handy for an interesting photo shoot, decorate a children's room and romantic evening... The moon is so easy to make that it will become fascinating activity and for the child. And what kind of child does not dream of his own Month?

Step-by-step instruction

First, draw a month on cardboard and cut it out. Since we will be doing a voluminous month, we will make two such details. And also we cut out strips for the side parts of the moon. We assemble the structure using adhesive tape.

Now we cut the paper into strips. We cut each strip across, getting "shaggy" details. We do a large number of such strips and glue them from bottom to top for a month, each next overlapping the previous one. The more such stripes there are, and on the strips of cuts, the more fluffy and beautiful you end up with a month.
