I love working with children much. We've done many projects together, and today I offer a DIY with seed beads.

And I really love elephants, especially festively decorated. So it seemed to me that these animals are extremely suitable for panels.

Here we discuss beads to use:

Materials:

1) Czech beads + PVA glue

2) acrylic paint + squirrel brush

3) base, 15 x 21 cm (perfect for standard frames)

4) sketch, pencil, carbon paper

5) some beautiful beads – optional

Step 1

Transfer the sketch using carbon paper (as a blueprint) on the base:

Step 2

Paint all parts in 2 layers.

Step 3

After complete drying, glue small areas and immediately put beads.

After drying, the work was inserted in a wooden frame without glass.

Tip: do not fill the whole composition with beads – it looks pretty boring, so leave acrylic background – your work would benefit.

And another tip: when choosing, preferably take mat Czech beads. It is more smooth in shape and beautiful in colour.

My pupils coped with it for 2 and a half hours. All were very pleased, including me. And now our photos:
