It is not for nothing that they say that the best gift is the one that is made by oneself. For the donor put his soul, imagination, diligence and patience, skill into it. And even if some nuances were not entirely successful, the desire to bring joy and pleasure to the one for whom the present is intended outweighs everything else.
Noble Steed
Suppose you want to make a souvenir for a middle-aged boy or teenager. And he reads books about Indians and cowboys, watches equestrian sports with enthusiasm, and his favorite animal is a horse. With your own hands, you can make a picture using a burning device. What is needed for this? A piece of plywood of a suitable size for you. Using a nail file and a jigsaw, give it the desired shape - square, rectangle, oval, etc. Sand the edges with sandpaper so that they become smooth and do not scratch. Also, with sandpaper, only finer, sand the front surface of the plywood well so that it shines slightly, is clean and even. Next, selecta good quality drawing of a horse. With your own hands, first try to draw something similar on paper. It turns out - excellent. No - that's okay too. Just take a sheet of carbon paper, put it on the front side of the plywood with the sticky side, on top - the found drawing. And with a simple pencil or a pointed wooden stick, translate the drawing with a knitting needle.
Just don't press hard and don't draw extra lines - carbon paper doesn't remove well from plywood. Carefully study the original source and the horse that you copied with your own hands. Submit the details. Turn on the burning device and, slowly, trying to keep the needle at the same time in all parts of the picture, circle the image. Then, using hatching techniques, shade or highlight certain places in the picture. Evaluate the end result - whether the horse turned out the way you wanted. It is better to correct defects with your own hands than to ask someone about it. If you know how to use watercolor or gouache, add a little color to your picture (or slightly tint it, it will turn out like retouching, original). Draw a frame with a burning pencil. The painting is done!
Option for chandelier or lampshade
You can make a souvenir "horse" with your own hands in another way. But if you try, it will turn out very effectively, elegantly, and the result will cause a lot of positive emotions. Buy colored paper, but not ordinary, thin, but dense, “velvet”. Also, Christmas confettipreferably with glitter. Make horse stencils in one copy or in several different silhouettes. Attach to sheets of paper, using the technique of mirror reflection, and redraw, cut out. Glue the blanks. Decorate with confetti. Now, each horse made of paper, made with your own hands, needs to be attached to ropes, twine, chains, etc., in order to then be hooked to lighting fixtures. Pick up ropes long enough so that the horses are away from hot bulbs. 3-5 horses can be placed under one ceiling.
Creative ideas
What else can you offer interesting on the horse theme? Do you own brushes and paints? Paint a picture! Are you good at sculpting? Try to make a sculpture of Pegasus from plasticine, clay. Or cut with carpentry tools. The silhouette of a horse can be embroidered with silk threads or beads. Make an application. Or give a real Sivka-Burka!
