Decoupage technique is an easy way to add coziness, originality and creative atmosphere to the interior. Products made using this technology will decorate the bedroom, study, and kitchen. One of the fashionable kitchen accessories now is a tea house, designed for neat and aesthetic storage of tea bags. Decorated with decoupage, it will successfully fit into any environment and add charm to it.
It is necessary
Plywood blanks for a teahouse, decoupage napkins with a picture of a lily of the valley - one with a large motif and one with a small motif, acrylic paint in the shade "antique pink" (warm pastel beige-pink tone), matte acrylic varnish, PVA glue, foam sponge, fine-grained sandpaper for surface polishing, nail scissors, narrow square hard brush
Instructions
Step 1
The surface of the plywood blank needs to be sanded, but you should not achieve absolute smoothness - the texture of the tree will become an additional decorative technique. Then cover the entire surface of the workpiece with acrylic paint in 2-3 layers, letting each dry properly. After that, you need to treat the house with matte acrylic varnish, and apply it in a couple of layers.
Step 2
Cut out a small motif with a lily of the valley - this will be the finishing of the roof. Separate the top layer with the pattern, put it on the workpiece and cover with glue on top (you can fix the motif with acrylic varnish if it is inconvenient to work with glue or it is not at hand). You should not stretch the motif, it is better to glue it with blotting movements (for this it is more convenient to use a foam sponge).
Step 3
Cut a napkin with a large motif in half, cut according to the pattern, separate the top layer and glue it to the "walls" and "facade" of the house. It is more difficult to fix a large element - so that the napkin does not wrinkle, you can first spread the fragment on a plastic wrap (a regular stationery file is suitable for this purpose) face down, moisten and then transfer it to the surface of the workpiece using the film.
Step 4
When the napkin is dry, work it with varnish or glue with a sponge, without stretching. Cover the finished house with acrylic varnish 2-3 times over the glued motif to fix the finish. After drying, sand the product with sandpaper.
