Lego
Snow globes
Kugla sa lego kockicama
Many of us for some reason like snow
globes, like look on snow in the water and turn upside-down the globe many
times. For all of them or us and for our children here is the way to make our
own snow globe. So, stole or borrow some Lego supplies from your children and
go to work.
Mnogi od nas iz nekog razloga vole "kugle sa snegom", vole da
gledaju sneg u vodi i okrecu gore-dole kuglu vise puta. Za sve njih koji vole ove
kugle, ili za sve nas i nasu decu evo nacina da sami napravimo ovakvu kuglu.
Dakle, "ukradite" ili pozajmite od vase dece neke Lego kockice i na
posao.
You need for this – potrebno vam je:
a jar - tegla
Lego
figure and blocks – Lego figurice i blokovi
glitter
Loctite Super Glue
Glycerine (optional) - glicerin
Bathroom sealer (optional)
And ... make a snow globe – i ...
napravite kuglu:
- Build your Lego scene. Make sure that it
will fit in your jar
Napravite vasu
Lego scenu, ali proverite da moze da stane u teglu.
- Sprinkle a teaspoon of glitter into the
bottom of the jar. Make sure it’s not the super-fine glitter as this will just
float on the top of the water
Sipajte kasicicu
sjaja na dno tegle ali ne koristite fini sjaj jer ce ostati na vrhu i nece se
pomerati kao sneg.
- Apply Loctite to the bottom of your first
piece of Lego (please help your children with this step).
Lepkom zalepite
vasu figuricu za poklopac tegle (ovde malo vise pomozite deci da se ne ulepe)
Please note: because your snow globe is
submerged in water, the bond may become loose over time.
Napomena:
vremenom lepak moze oslabiti zbog vode pa se mora ponovo zalepiti – ovo nam
daje priliku da promenimo figuricu i dobijemo novu kuglu ako zelimo
- Press the Lego block firmly to the
underside of the jar lid. Allow to dry.
Pritisnite lepo
figuricu za poklopac i ostavite da se osusi
- Fill your jar with water right to the
brim (you want as little air as possible in your jar). Screw the lid tightly
onto the jar. Yay! Job done!
Napunite teglu do
vrha vodom (sto manje vazduha da ostane u tegli). Dobro zatvorite teglu i URA
posao je gotov. Uzivajte zajedno sa vasom decom u kuglama po vasoj zelji.
TIPS:
- Once you have glued the Lego block into
place using Loctite Super Glue you can run waterproof sealer around the rim of
the jar if you want to. This will help keep the lid in place and also help
create a waterproof seal.
Kada zalepite
Lego figuricu za poklopac, mozete lepkom da predjete i preko ivice tegle. To ce
osigurati poklopac od otvaranja.
- You can add about a tablespoon of
glycerin to the water inside your jar. This will thicken the water so the bits
of glitter float more slowly to the bottom.
U vodu mozete
dodati kasiku tecnog glicerina. To ce usporiti padanje sjaja.
- For some reason use cooled boiled water it
was a lot better than using water straight from the tap. If used water from the
tap (hot or cold) glitter will clung to the lego pieces. Using cooled boiled
water prevented this from happening!
Iz nekog razloga
je bolje uzeti ohladjenu prokuvanu vodu nego vodu direktno iz cesme bilo da je
topla ili hladna. Ako se uzme voda iz cesme moguce je da se sjaj lepi za Lego
figuricu dok se to ne desava kod prokuvane vode.
- If you are making these with under 3′s
then use plastic jars instead.
Ako ovu kuglu pravite za decu mladju od 3 godine napravite je od
plasticne tegle.
