CORALS AND SHELLS IN THE INTERIOR OF THE HOUSE

Send

Vacation at sea is for many an ideal vacation. Many seas today have become available to Russians: from the beloved and once the only Black Sea to the tropical seas of Southeast Asia. Many people like a beach holiday, but in the heat just lying in the shade under an umbrella or swimming is pretty boring. Beach entertainment in the form of jet skis, parachute flying, water skiing, bananas, surfing is not everyone likes and is not suitable for children. But there is an occupation at sea that is loved by both adults and children - picking up seashells and interesting stones on the beach. On the shores of tropical seas, in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and the Maldives, fragments of coral are thrown onto the beach, which are also willingly collected by vacationers to commemorate the sea. Then the seafood is brought home and they dust for a long time in a sink or basket until they are removed from sight or thrown out.
Few people know that many interesting crafts can be made from shells and corals. These are toys from sinks, these are interior decorations for an apartment or home - it all depends on the imagination.
Toys can be made from double and twisted shells. The easiest way to make turtles is from them. In the East, the turtle is a symbol of wisdom and longevity. Therefore, it is certainly nice to bring a tortoise made by our own hands from Southeast Asia. For the manufacture of turtles and other animals, any shells are suitable. In addition to shells, only glue is needed.

From the fragments of shells you can make a tree. To do this, pick up the fragments of shells resembling a leaf shape or process them on a machine, if possible. Drill a hole in each sheet and insert a thin wire into it. Then twist branches from separate sheets, and make a tree from branches. The photo clearly shows how this can be done. Under the tree, you can "settle" made animals. Such a composition will perfectly decorate the interior, and can also be a wonderful toy for children.
The white and dull wall of the bathroom or kitchen can be decorated with sinks and corals glued to the wall, as well as custom small shelves with fish.

Corals in tropical seas cannot be raised from the bottom. But their debris, sometimes quite large, can be found on the beach. In addition, they are often sold in gift shops. From them you can make an interesting composition. For the foundation, you need to find a large stone, on which coral is glued with glue. In nature, they are multicolored from blue and violet to white, beige and even green. But the color of corals under the influence of light quickly disappears, and they become white or beige. The star of Crassastra, with its bright raspberry color, perfectly sets off a dull stone with corals. The star is quite rare, but it can be replaced with any other bright spot.

Sea shells are surprisingly diverse in color, shape, size. In souvenir shops of any resort they can be bought quite inexpensively. Even in the Black Sea resorts, dozens of species of beautiful tropical shells are sold. Most vacationers who buy them do not suspect shells from tropical seas and believe that they are inhabitants of the Black Sea. The sinks are glued or attached with a thin thread or wire to a lattice made of wood or metal - and now the wall decoration is ready.

For a composition of flat corals and shells, you need to make a thick wire stand with a holder for the shells and corals that you are going to place in it. Such a composition can become the dominant of the room and it is worth placing the most beautiful shells and flat corals here. On the dark surface of a table or piano, such a composition attracts the eye and recalls the wonderful days spent at sea.
