Instructions
Step 1
Separate the top layer from the three-layer napkin. Pour some water with PVA glue on the file, in a ratio of 1/1. We lay out the napkin with the front side on the file. We carefully smooth out the folds. Then carefully turn the file with the napkin onto the cardboard and even more carefully remove the file from the napkin. This is the most important part of the job. The decoupage of the panel should be neat. Moreover, if it is intended as a gift.
We are waiting for the napkin to dry and apply a layer of acrylic varnish. After it is completely dry, lightly touching the drawing with a sponge, apply shadows with light lilac acrylic paint. The main rule: we apply paint only on a dry sponge, first check the effect on a sheet of paper. Decoupage panels should be beautiful. And if this is a future gift, we try even harder.
Apply a layer of acrylic varnish again after the paint has dried. You can apply several coats of varnish, waiting for each coat to dry completely.
Step 2
Now let's take care of the frame: to add charm, we will artificially age it. A panel using decoupage technique should have a beautiful frame. Apply acrylic primer to the wooden frame, then a layer of lilac acrylic paint. After that with a flat synthetic brush - one-step craquelure varnish. And now the most important step in the work: as soon as the varnish adheres very little to the fingers, we apply white acrylic paint with a brush. By the way, working with varnish and acrylic white paint, we go through one place with a brush once.
Working in decoupage technique, you can use various artistic techniques. Our gift will only benefit from this.
Step 3
We insert the panel into the frame and admire it. And we can make a gift to our best friend. A panel made using decoupage technique will not leave anyone indifferent.
