Master-class on making by own hands a New Year's fur-tree toy in the technique of reverse decoupage
Plastic Christmas tree decorations-containersare universal in purpose. You can put small presents in them, make a composition inside the toys or decoupage both direct and reverse. On such toys in the form of a Christmas tree and a star, I decided to do reverse decoupage. Moreover, to make it fast and effective, I decided to do decoupage in parallel to both at once. For this I prepared:
- Alcohol wipes
- PVA glue
- Brushes
- Colors acrylic (white and gold)
- Foam Sponge with Clip
- Paper napkins
- Pencil simple
- Acrylic lacquer
With reverse decoupage, as with direct decoupage, all the samesame operations, only the order of their execution is different. The toys are detachable, consist of two parts. First, I degreased the inside of the halves of both toys.
I selected the napkin fragments according to the size of the toy and added a few millimeters to the height of the side walls. I outlined the required size with a pencil, then cut it out.
I applied a light golden haze to the inside of the toy halves and dried them.
While the halves were drying, I prepared the napkin fragments and removed the bottom layers of the napkin.
I glued the napkins face down to the inside of the toys.
I dried them for a long time, remembering that plastic does not absorb moisture. I did not use a hair dryer so that the temperature would not deform the toys. I covered all the halves of the toys with varnish.
After the varnish had dried thoroughly, I covered all parts of the toys with white paint. Dried.
I assembled it and added some braid.
You can use these toys to decorate the Christmas tree, or you can give them as gifts, after putting notes with wishes inside.
