Pitch fifth. Painting. We cover the table paint on a tree in three or four layers, let each layer we give well. As can be seen in the photo, the places that were treated with a candle do not absorb paint, remain dark, which will come to them the effect of some scuff.
Step six. After drying all the layers of the applied paint, we proceed with the decoration of the table top. For this step, take a cut of dense fabric with a bright pattern and cut the circle of smaller diameter from it than the table top. We place the fabric strictly in the center of the table top and glue it with the help of PVA "universal". The border between the surface of the table and the cloth decorate the soft sponge.
Step seventh. When the glue on the fabric is driving, you can move to applying a varnish, in this master class, a lacquer for wood with a matte effect is used. Varnish should be applied in 7-8 layers. After each layer applied layer, we give lacquer to dry, a plot with a cloth processing sandpaper to achieve the maximum smoothness of the surface. We apply the last layer of varnish, let me dry, and the table is ready.
