This master class will teach you how to make postcards with Valentine's Day in the technique of decoupage by yourself.
A postcard - a valentine's make will be quite easy, you just have to follow the instructions carefully. You will need:
- cardboard, white or pink;
- thin foam rubber (you can use a cushioning material for household appliances);
- PVA glue;
- brushes of different widths;
- napkins with a beautiful pattern for decoupage;
- Glue gun;
- scissors
- decorative elements - braid, lace, large button, rhinestones
Sequence of work: 1. Prepare cardboard blank for a 14x20 cm card and napkins with a suitable thematic pattern. 2.Tip: instead of cardboard for the substrate, you can use thick paper for scrapbooking. In specialized stores a large selection of single-color, color, as well as with ornaments of paper bases. If there are curly scissors, then they can process the edges of the workpiece. 3. Cut out the central element for the postcard from the napkin and a few secondary ones (on the sample a napkin with hearts is used). The center of the composition can be, for example, images of a bouquet of flowers, a gift box, a cartoon character. 4. Separate the top layers of the napkin with the pattern. Stick on the PVA, gently drawing on the drawing with a wide soft brush. Important! Apply the adhesive on the substrate, not on the napkin, and only then apply the cut out elements on the wet surface of the postcard.
5. From the foam rubber cut out a suitable size to the main figure of the heart.
6. On one side, apply glue on the heart, glue a piece of a colored napkin of a slightly larger size. After drying, trim the excess napkins.
7. Pass the braids into the holes of the big button, tie the double knot and cut off the excess. 8. On the postcard, glue a strip of lace (braid) on the PVA glue or glue gun. Lace is better to choose cotton, it is best suited to the style of postcards. Ensure that excess glue does not appear on the front of the product.
9. Carefully attach the heart from foam rubber. Important! If you use a glue gun, then first apply glue on the substrate, and then glue the heart. Hot glue can not be applied to foam rubber, it can melt. 10. Lastly, stick a large button and other decorative elements. Before applying the glue, spread them on the product, achieving a harmonious composition. Trim excess material
Such cards can be made for otherholidays and significant events - there would be a desire and a little time. If you like the idea of creating unique things with your own hands, begin to collect a collection of napkins, and your "treasured casket of the needlewoman" will come in handy. Beautiful buttons, sequins, rhinestones, details from jewelry, beads and chains, flap with beautiful pattern and braid can serve as an idea for a new creation of handmade.
