Decoupage of New Year's toys - a master class for all design options

Instructions on how to make crafts in the technique of decoupage:

1. Take your base and, if necessary, clean it of dirt (for example, peeling paint, paper labels and other).
2. Cover the base with a layer of acrylic paint. If you want to completely zadekorirovat hand-made napkins, then as a substrate, take the white paint. If you paste small elements, draw a background of the desired color.
3. Cut out the part of the pattern that you will paste. It is best to moisten the brush in water and walk it on a napkin. Excessive paper is easy to tear.
4. Spray the site on a glued basis and lean the picture.
5. Walk through a thin layer of glue in the picture.
6. Let the artwork dry completely.
7. Then pour in a little of the paint that you used for the background, paper or palette, lightly dip a sponge into it and walk it around the edges of the pasted pattern. Movements should be easy.
8. Cover the craft with a layer of varnish.
9. Attach a ribbon so that you can hang Christmas trees on your Christmas tree with your own hands.

Decoupage is completed. At your discretion, you can sprinkle the sequins on top, paint the individual elements of the pattern or make a shadow, paste crystals or beads and so on.

Possible decor options for toys on the Christmas tree

1. Take the finished base (for example, an asterisk or a ball), cover with a layer of paint, and then glue the whole napkin. Turn the base over and walk around the edges with a brush dipped in water. Tear off excess paper. Do the same with the back side. Print the edges with paint.
2. You can make a volumetric decoupage of New Year's toys. The master class is that, after drying of the pasted pattern, a structural gel is applied to the substrate. With its help you can depict snow or some elements. Gel is better mixed with paint in a separate container or covered with acrylic at the end.
3. Take the ball and cover it with a layer of paint. Then tear the paper with the pattern into several pieces. Glue each shred separately. It turns out a very beautiful New Year's toy.
4. Prepare the foundation. Cut the pattern around the circle and paste it. Cover the craft with lacquer. Use a glue gun to place beads with a flat bottom (special droplets) along the contour of the picture. It will seem that the image is in a frame.

Simply and easily.
