After I first heard this magic word: "Decoupage", I am with some kind of irrepressible zeal, began to decorate plates with the help of this technique. It turned out to be at all difficult, and the result struck me. With the help of decoupage, you can decorate anything. But today I will start with a simple, with decorative plates.
Boxes with wonderful reproductions of famous artists, smooth, mounted in the distance, varnish or ancient craklers fascinate. ("... And I see the coast of fascinated and fascinated distance ..." A. Block "Stranger"). On the Internet there are many master classes on decoupage. I just say that we need to adapt to the technique to practice.
It is necessary to ensure that the napkin lay down at exactly without the chances. Starting with small fragments.
Materials
- Pure plate, pre-it can even wipe with alcohol.
- Napkin with the image like. The napkin usually consists of three parts, so here we will need only the part on which there is an image.
- Glue. It is possible a simple PVA, which, if necessary, we dilute a little water, if very thick or specialized adhesive for decoupage.
- Tassels.
- Varnish. You can buy it in the canister and bottles. The waist happens: glossy and matte, as well as you can use the two-phase varnish "Acrylic paints".
All this can be bought in both book supermarkets and special stores for creativity.
Process
First, place a fragment or completely napkin on a plate and slowly wasting your fingers with water distribute the napkin on the surface. Moving from the center to the periphery. Here it begins the most interesting, the napkin increases in size and begins to bubble and fall around the waves. It turns out the notorious not beautiful races that I spoke earlier. In some methods, it is offered to apply glue to the dry surface of the napkin.

I agree to small fragments, but I recommend a large surface first to apply with water, where the hall is formed, drop some water and try to straighten. But do not forget that you need to act extremely gently so that the napkin is not damaged. Next, without waiting until the napkin dry, gently apply glue, it is better to apply glue twice.
If all the same, the chances are obtained, then after drying, you can read them a little sandpaper, and then paint with acrylic paints. In any case, I advise, after gluing the image, something where to draw it with acrylic paints, then there will be a hand painting effect.
Well, and two-phase varnish can be used to obtain an antique effect (cracker). After applying these varnishes, cracks appear on the surface, in these cracks rub or oil paint or can use pastel, depending on the brand of varnishes. Then the surface is finally covered with varnish.
From the wrong side, you fasten the special iron loop, which are sold in departments for creativity, on liquid nails (for example) or thermocons and a plate is ready.
