From a disk to a coaster - how to make a New Year's coaster for a cup with your own hands?
In pursuit of new and unique ideas, wethere are contradictions about what gift will look more interesting. We offer a universal idea that can be made for anyone and to anyone. But the most important thing is the usefulness of the product. A small round stand can help a person, you can put a cup of tea or coffee on such a stand, any other hot objects, so as not to damage the table. Materials for turning a disc into a stand Everything would be fine, but such a stand should become a thematic product. That is why we will design a stand for the New Year theme, using one special technique. We are talking about the decoupage technique, which helps to transform any object into a universal and unique version of a craft for use. This time, decoupage technology will be used to decorate and strengthen an ordinary CD. Yes, the era of computer disks is nearing its end, and now, when your husband is planning to throw out another stack of old disks, you can find a worthy use for such a product.
Using modern lessons, design anddecoration methods, we have a full opportunity to organize and create a unique gift made with your own hands. How? See below for more details.
- It will take an old disk (not needed)
- Also, you will need nazhdachka
- Paint
- Cardboard
- Brush
- Napkin with a picture on the New Year theme
- Lacquer
We are preparing a gift stand. These materials shouldenough for work. And now, let's proceed to the most important process - decorating the disk and transforming it. To start work, you need to take the disk and process it under the form of decoupage. The smooth surface of the disk does not suit us, so it is necessary to process it by sanding for both sides. This is necessary so that the paint is laid on both sides of the disk. Next, a piece of cardboard must be glued to the gap between the holes to close the gap. After, you need to turn the disk over and get a version of the resulting hole, which we will patch with a spatula. Next, put the disk aside and wait until the putty dries.
To decorate the disc, you need tochoose a design option for a napkin. Choosing a New Year-themed design is not difficult, so get busy with this process and think through your idea carefully. The design should have simple shapes and not be too big. This is necessary to fit into the dimensions of the disc. Tear off a quarter of the napkin, then remove the layer on top. Surface treatment
After the putty has dried, we mustsand the surface again until it becomes a smooth shape. Then, the disk needs to be treated on one side with white paint. A soft brush will do, you need to apply more than two layers. After the white paint dries, we can begin the decoupage process. In order to do the decoupage, we will use a glue varnish called MARABU. It needs to be applied to the perimeter of the entire surface, in the place where you are going to glue your napkin. Then, you need to wait 30 minutes until everything dries. Then, you need to put the upper part of the napkin piece on top of the disk and cover it with baking paper. Heat up the iron and iron the surface of the paper with full steam power.When the glue heats up, the napkin will stick todisk on an even value. There is no need to tear off the edge fragment yet. After the varnish dries, tear off the edges that you do not need and sand the circumference of the disk with sandpaper. The disk will not be able to completely overlap a quarter of the napkin, therefore, the edges should be drawn. To do this, select the desired paint color and apply it to the white areas. We get an overlap for the napkin. then, the disk needs to be turned over and tear off a piece of cardboard that we previously glued. This side should also be painted white, then - with the color of the drawing. Draw the contours of the snowflake, break up your work. Initially, we form a circle using dots, and then - the middle for the snowflake pattern. We form six rays according to symmetry and then - draw the rays. Wait until the outline dries. Using acrylic varnish, cover the stand blank.
