Did you bother your room design? There are many ways to turn the usual thing into the work of art, and one of them is a decoupage technique. It began to be used in the Middle Ages, but in our time it is still relevant. To make a decoupage with your own hands, creative thinking is required and a little practice.
Features of Decoupage Technology
Decoupage technique - This is an imitation of painting on objects. The finished product is covered with varnish. At the same time, work does not require high costs, because materials are available to everyone. And you can work on any surface: wood, glass, plastic, ceramics, fabric, leather and leatherette.
Basic tool kit:
- Image (photos, printouts or three-layer napkins);
- Decamental glue (appropriate PVA);
- acrylic paints;
- Soft synthetic brushes;
- water-soluble acrylic varnish;
- sponge.
Depending on the overall idea, you may need additional decorative materials, it can be beads, lace, old newspapers, etc.
The surface on which the picture is applied should be prepared. From the tree you need to remove the lacquer, sanding it and put a putty. Glass, ceramics and plastics are degreasing with alcohol. The fabric is erased and stroke the iron. Often newbies are not risking to take for decoration of furniture, fearing that the coverage will be removed, and the work will not work. Do not be afraid if you make a mistake, the process can always be started again.

The most popular reception is to form furniture. Consider how to make a decoupage of an ordinary written table with your own hands:
1. We will work separately with the upper part and legs, so we unscrew them for convenience. Skucker we clean everything to the tree and degrease the alcohol. Furniture became visible cracks and chips, so disguise them with a putty.
3. Easy movements are applied black touches to the places that we want to form. Then we rub them candle. Wax crumbs should be removed with a brush.
4. Cover the surface with a layer of white paint. We take the skin and gently clean the place to make up.
Any material is recommended to be painted in white. Do not attach a drawing to a dark surface, otherwise it will be lost.
5. We take napkins and separate the two white layers, we do not need them. It remained only a layer with a pattern. We apply it to the prepared surface to decide on the design. But remember that the wet napkin stretches a bit, and the drawing will take more space.
Do not cut off the pattern with scissors. When you pull out the drawing, the edges can easily "dissolve" on a general background. Cropped edges will rush into the eyes.
6. We put a piece of napkin face with the face of the file and from the spray with a spray with waters. Folds appeared. They need to be easily straighted with fingers. Work carefully, not to break the napkin. But if there are many water on the file, there should be no problems.
7. Now put a file with a napkin on a wooden surface and gently separate it from the picture. On top of the pattern generously applied glue with a soft tassel and let work dry.
8. It's time to do the background. Now we apply golden paint. We need easy spraying in separate places, and not solid color, so use only dry brush. Boldly go beyond the edges of the napkin, they need to be disguised.
