This master class will teach you decorating pots using decoupage techniques and decoPatch.
Techniques are similar in name and execution. But there is a slight difference. When carrying out the decappathic technique, the object, whether it is a casket or a flower pot, is glued to the whole surface with pieces of special paper. At the same time, there is no plot. Most often this is a background or similar to a patchwork, only tissue, not paper, is used, which is often torn by hand. So, for the flower pot decor I took:
- Ceramic pot without glaze
- Sandpaper
- Building glue PVA Optilux for gluing of napkins
- Joiner PVA for DecoPatch
- Brushes
- White and brown colors
- Foam Sponge
- Clerical clamp
- Disposable ware with water
- Colored sheets from the magazine in a similar color scheme
- Paper napkin 3-layer for decoupage
- Manicure liquid for removing varnish
- Cotton pad
- Acrylic lacquer
- Bituminous varnish
The first stage is the preparation of the ceramic pot surface. Sandpaper cleared the surface of the pot. The surface is sufficiently porous, so it was coated with PVA glue.
Has dried up. And only then I primed with white paint the outer part of the pot from all sides.
Inside, the pot painted only a small strip on top.
All dried up. The second stage is the decoPatch. Tip: If you use special paper for decoPatch, then for it there is also a special glue (in shops for needlework). I grabbed small pieces from the journal sheets and dropped them for a while into the water. Wet they are even more flat on the surface.
Has smeared joiner PVA a surface.
And pasted a piece of paper overlapping across the entire pot area.
The upper rim of the pot was pasted with dark pieces for contrast (the author's idea).
I waited for it to dry completely. Tip: Better leave for the night, and continue working the next day. The appearance of simply pasted pieces of paper in this case is not aesthetic. In order to make an imitation of stone tiles, a cotton disc and a liquid to remove the varnish of the piercer, until it looks like the structure of the stone.
Now the pot is ready for the next stage.
The third stage is decoupage. Tore a small piece of napkin and divided it into layers.
But the lower layers did not throw away. Before you paste a picture, I prepared the place. I pasted a layer without a pattern, thereby indicating the place where the tissue piece would be.
When the layer is dry, it is covered with white paint, otherwise the pasted pattern will merge with the background.
Dried and pasted a layer with a pattern.
Has dried up. The fourth stage is the final stage. Remained small strokes. No primer should be visible. The inside-rim of the pot was painted in beige color, and the edge of the rim and under the rim touched the sponge with bituminous varnish.
The whole pot was fixed, smeared with acrylic lacquer, and not once.
Dried every layer. The pot is ready, you can move the flower there.
