In this master class you will learn how to decorate a wedding album with your own hands in the technique of decoupage.
In this case, several types of ordinary napkins will be used to decorate the cover of the wedding photo album, only very beautiful ones, selected by color and pattern.
The use of different materials gives scope for creativity: the combination of pattern elements can be cut out and mixed together. Examples of combinations of napkins on different themes can be seen in the photographs.
To work you will need the following tools:
- Cover for a photo album (we use an album on A4 size rings);
- small skin (null);
- PVA glue;
- brushes of different widths;
- White acrylic paint;
- napkins with a beautiful pattern for decoupage;
Sequence of work: 1.Use fine sandpaper to give the album cover a slight roughness for better adhesion to the paint. Do not overdo it, you only need to remove the glossy layer from the coating. 2. Use a wide brush to cover the cover with white paint, let it dry. If necessary, apply a second layer of paint, achieving an even coating. 3. While the cover is drying, lay out the napkins and come up with a combination of drawings from them.
Separate the top layer with the design.
In order to further stick it onTo avoid wrinkles in the drawing, spray the napkins with a spray bottle and smooth them out with a warm iron. In this case, a black and white color scheme with a romantic pattern was chosen: an antique chandelier on one napkin surrounded by patterns with magical flowers on the other. Important: the background of the patterns on the napkins should match the base coat of the album. 4. Cover the cover with PVA glue. Carefully apply the central element of the composition to the wet coating. When it is saturated with glue, use a wide soft brush to “drive out” the air bubbles and glue the applique. Next, decorate the cover along the edges, cutting out pattern elements from napkins and gluing them. When wet, the napkins become almost transparent, so you can glue different elements on top of each other, weaving patterns together. 5. Let the work dry completely. Then evaluate the composition; if necessary, glue or paint on missing elements. 6. Apply a protective coating to the entire cover. You can use special decoupage glue, or dilute PVA with water 1:2 and cover the surface with this composition 1-2 times. This method can be used for items that will not come into contact with water in the future. 7. If desired, glue rhinestones or other decorative elements with a glue gun. 8. The inside of the album cover can also be decorated with decoupage, repeating the composition or inventing a new one. 9. Insert the pages into the album.
Having done such a great creative work, it is pleasant to enjoy not only looking at family photo albums, but also from a unique cover made with your own hands. Gribanova Irina
