This time we are going to make a beautiful pond, which can be placed in the room as a decoration. If you also want to get closer to nature and like to see the beauty of nature, you can follow the tutorial below. It is really not difficult at all!~
Materials and tools: foam board, newspaper, napkin, glue, branches, artificial leaves, acrylic paint, acrylic varnish, markers, cardboard, white latex, toothbrush, etc.
Use a pencil to draw basic shapes on the foam board.
Use a sharp knife to cut.
Draw stones/pebbles on the excess foam board and cut them out.
I mixed glue and water and adhered the tissue paper to the stone.
To get a raw rock look.
After drying, brush with a toothbrush.
Create rough texture on the surface of the stone.
All stones are treated this way.
Then I drew lines with a marker, like cracks in a stone. Then use black and white acrylic colors for the final coloring on the stone. Now our stone is ready.
Then make 4-5 big trees, finished with branches, I will put them in the garden.
I cut the branches into the shape of the first tree.
Adhere the thinner branches to it. Just like this, make the other 3 trees as well.
After the tree is done, use a glue gun to attach the artificial leaves to it.
It’s more beautiful if it’s denser.
After that I made a hole in the bottom of all the trees to fix them later.
Paste a few stones on them in twos and threes.
Its time to make the irregular moss surface, which is essential for the forest. Choose artificial moss mats on the market.
Its easy to buy, but you can also use dried moss. Twist old newspapers into irregular shapes with glue, then glue the moss on top and cut them into the desired shape.
Insert nails or wire into the bottom of the tree.
Attach the tree to the base.
After attaching the stones/pebbles with glue, I took a piece of cardboard and cut it into a pond shape.
Paint with acrylic paints in sea green, navy blue and white.
Then stick it on the base.
Then stick the stones along the edge of the pond.
Brush on the acrylic varnish to make the pond shine like deep water.
The final work, wow, is really good, just like the real thing! I like nature, trees and plants, and I really want to have an outing by this pond...
