The master class will teach you how to make a New Year's decoration - a Christmas tree - using the decoupage technique
It's time to prepare for the New Year.A real craftswoman always decorates the Christmas tree and apartment with items and toys made by hand. I offer you a step-by-step master class on decoupage: New Year's decoration. Foam plastic is a fairly convenient material for this type of work. It cuts and glues well. The base for the Christmas tree was already ready, bought in the Fix-price store. But it is easy to cut it yourself. I also needed:
- PVA universal construction glue - I use it to work with the napkin;
- PVA glue for carpentry TYNAN - I use it to glue the Christmas tree and Santa Claus to the base;
- a napkin with a New Year motif;
- flat synthetic brushes;
- paints gold and white;
- foam sponge and clamp;
- masters;
- 3-D gel is transparent;
- scissors;
- acrylate based acrylate base for saunas EUROTEX;
- CD;
- a toy Santa Claus (optional).
At the very initial stage, I coat the foam base with PVA glue in order to prime the porous surface.I try the napkin on the base and cut it out with an allowance on the sides.I make side cuts.I glue the napkin, starting from the top branches, and spread it from the center to the edge of the base of the tree.Then I glue the side edges, bending the specially left allowances.One side is ready. Drying.For the second side, the pattern is easier to make; it should also be a little larger.Just like in the first case, I glue the napkin from top to bottom, from the center to the edge. Dry.On the sides, where gaps have formed, I glue small pieces (using the principle of the decopatch technique, when the entire surface is completely covered with a napkin). I cover the work on both sides with varnish.I paint the decorations on the Christmas tree with gold paint. As soon as the paint has dried, I add volume to the toys using 3-D gel. I apply it to the toys with matechine and leave it until it dries completely.While the gel is drying, I prepare the base for the tree. I prime the compact disc (previously cleaned and degreased) with white paint. I dry it. Then I glue the remaining pieces of napkin on PVA glue as in the decopatch technique. I make one common background from the scraps, filling the entire space of the disk. I dry it.On the reverse side, I sealed the hole in the disk with a cardboard circle. I assemble the structure. I install the Christmas tree on the disk, having previously coated the assembly area with TYNAN glue.Since the New Year tree should have Santa Claus, I glued a small toy to the base. Such a tree can stand on a shelf or a table, reminding that the New Year is coming soon.
