Decoupage of drying for beginners - step-by-step design of two-level drying
Let's use a regular dish dryer on two sideslevels to decorate our item. Our version was made of plastic, so for this decoupage it is recommended to find exactly this version of dish drying. This tray will be a great option to decorate it in decoupage style.
Decoupage of drying for beginners - step-by-step design of two-level drying
- First of all, it is necessary to take an acrylic,white paint for the primer (also can come and artistic paint, we took the interior, matte acrylic paint, which was bought for repair work).
- We also need glue. In this case, PVA is great.
- Lacquer without color (transparent)
- Three-layer napkins
- Sandpaper
Next, you will need to select a special list of tools:
- Special sponge (for priming) - this can be a regular dish sponge.
- Brush with soft bristles
- Scissors - for cutting out various designs.
Let's get to work on drying. First,it is necessary to prepare the tray for work. To do this, you need to wash it with a special agent, removing all dirt, grease and other residues. Then, you should also use a dryer to completely work out the surface of the material. Then, wipe our product with alcohol or vodka, so there will be no greasy marks.We prime the surface (bottom) After that, wewe prime our surface of the inner part of the tray. To do this, you should decide which part of the work you will prime. Let's try to prime our plastic tray on both sides. Therefore, we prime the surface with white paint on both sides. We will use foam rubber shanks and apply the primer exactly 2 times. If the surface is rough, treat it with special sandpaper. This is so that the paint lays down better.Then, we wait until the paint layer dries (this isabout 3-8 hours depending on the product and the properties of the paint). Then apply another layer of paint to make the surface elegant. Leave the tray and wait for the final drying of the material properties for some time. Remove the paint from the surfaceNext, remove the unnecessary paint usingsandpaper, so as not to damage the surface. Then, you need to wipe the tray from dust that could have formed over time. We varnish the surface using a thin layer. You need to apply the varnish using one direction. Acrylic varnish will have a milky base, but after drying it will cease to have color qualities. Then we apply the second layer, first waiting for drying (varnish instructions). Then, we use a roller to process the surfaces.Priming the front side After that - weprime the front side. It needs to be primed with the same paint, but there is no need to apply varnish. Then, we carry out the decorating stage. We dilute the glue with water and lubricate the space that we are going to decorate. Next, we wait for our tray to dry. We prepare decoupage pictures or fragments. We take three-layer napkins, cut out the necessary pieces of fragments. The white parts of the sheets for decoupage pictures can be left. They will work as a surface imitator.Drying design After - we glue everythingthe necessary fragments in the necessary parts of our future "new tray". We apply the leaves to the necessary zones, make up our composition. You can use an iron to straighten the work. This will help get rid of folds. Gradually, we glue all the fragments we need onto the tray. We remove excess parts of the adhesive base by blotting with a soft cloth. You should not glue on damp areas.Then, we need to varnish our surface, using two layers to treat the upper part of the surface. Before applying the varnish, you should wait until the glue dries.
