This master class will teach you how to make your own hands decoupage of a cutting board in the technique of a two-step craquelure.
To obtain cracks, two compositions are used,which conflict with each other, having a different drying speed, which causes the cracks to appear, which are manifested as soon as they are wiped with certain compounds. For this work I prepared:
- Wooden cutting board
- Sandpaper
- Sponge from foam rubber in clerical clasp
- White paint
- Scissors
- Brushes
- Clay of the WPA
- Paper napkin
- Iron
- Waxed paper
- Acrylic lacquer
- Shellac varnish
- Crackle lacquer
- Bituminous varnish
- Cotton pad
- Dry napkin
The surface of the board was sanded with sandpaper. She covered the surface of the board with a thin layer of white paint, dried it.
Then she covered another layer. To the surface was smooth and smooth once again walked nazhdachkoy.
I chose a napkin in which the desired fragment completely covers the surface of the board, cutting off the excess part with scissors.
Such a large fragment is difficult to paste smoothly, without folds. Therefore I chose a hot method for this. The surface of the board smeared thickly with PVA glue, and left to dry completely.
She divided the napkin into layers. The top layer was applied to the board all over the surface.
She put waxed paper on top of the napkin.
And she ironed with a hot iron without steam.
After the napkin has cooled off, she missed the varnish.
Step 1 - applied shellac varnish and allowed to dry.
She applied a second layer of lacquer. The size and depth of cracks depends on the thickness of the layers of the compounds. Dried to a sticky state. The second step was applied by the lacquer lacquer and distributed by the finger in a circular motion over the entire surface. Rubbing the varnish until the finger begins to get stuck.
Has left to dry before occurrence of cracks. They appear for a long time, while the formulations dry. Bit in the cracked compositions with a cotton disc bituminous lacquer.
Wiped excess bitumen with a dry cloth.
Many masters wash off the 2nd step, I do not practice, I do not really like the final result after washing. The edges of the board, especially the corners, were treated with bituminous lacquer.
Advice: if you decide not to wash off the 2nd step, then it is impossible to cover with akvalak. The surface of the board was covered with shellac varnish. The board is ready.
