Decoupage Pillow Candle Holder

Hello Everyone

Arpita here, December is Christmas month and I have already started prepping for Christmas decorations. Today I have Decoupage’d a concrete pillow candle holder which will make a beautiful table decoration.

I will use a tissue to decoupage as they are perfect when you have uneven surface like this pillow holder and they look absolutely Gorgeous.

Pictorial Of the Decoupage Pillow Candle Holder

I choose this lovely tissue,which was perfect for this Christmas project.

Tear the edges of the tissue by slightly wetting the brush with water. Having uneven edges will help in blending the tissue and the background painting.

Tissues come as 2ply and 3ply tissues. So always remember to remove the extra layers .You will be working only with the top layer.

Next using the Craftangles decoupage glue I stuck down the tissue. For the best results always work in small portions while sticking the tissue and apply very little glue to avoid getting wrinkles and bubbles.

Next I blended the tissue and the background by doing shading with the ruby red and snow white chalky paints.

Finally I sealed with the Craftangles varnish and as it was still wet I sprinkled Craftangles Shimmer dust. I absolutely loved the effect of the shimmer dust it is so shiny and Beautiful ,I really wish I could capture the shine of this glitter better in the pictures. But believe me it’s just gorgeous and I am in love with it.

Here is the final look of the candle holder

Hope you all liked today's project.

Decoupage'd Diya Platter

Hello Everyone

Arpita here,hope you all are doing fine.As Diwali is nearing today I am sharing a very easy and a beautiful project to make this festival.

Here is a detailed pictorial of the decoupage diya platter

I choose the Craftangles orange squash chalk paint . Painted the base with 2 coats letting them dry inbetween each coat.

Next i cut a strip from the Craftangles Floral Batik decoupage paper and stuck it using the decoupage glue. Also sealed the paper using the same glue.

Chose this Beautiful design of stencil to add texture. Used the Craftangles texture paste for the same.

Once the texture paste dried completely, covered it with the orange squash chalky paint and highlighted the texture with gold paint.

Finally gave a coat of Varnish to the whole platter and while the varnish was still wet sprinkled fairy dust on the decoupage’d part . The fairy dust is just perfect to add sparkle to your projects this festive season.

To place the diya made diy stands using mini empty bottles which I Decoupage’d using the same paper. Lastly decorated with some flowers.

Here is the final look

Decoupage On Pot

Hello Everyone

Arpita here ,Sharing with you all another beautiful home decor project today. I have done Decoupage on a Pot and here I am sharing a pictorial tutorial for the same.


Step by step process on How i did decoupage on Pot –

I begin by giving a coat of gesso.Once gesso dried I painted the pot with Ivory lace Chalky Paint.

Next using the wash technique I added the Funky Fern CrafTangles Chalk paint.

What is Wash Method – make the paint very thin by adding water. Apply this with a brush and immediately wipe it off with a clean cloth. By applying this way it only adds a tinge of the colour creating a beautiful effect.

To add more interest I did stenciling.I have used a motif from the Indian Motif From Craftangles.

I have chosen the Black floral print Decoupage paper for today’s project. I cut the part of the print I wanted to use.Stuck it using the Decoupage glue. Also did clay work around the print.

Finally I painted the clay work and did a little splatters all over with black and white paints.Once all the paint work dried I sealed it with a varnish.

Here is the final look at the pot I created using Decoupage

Vintage Decoupage Box

Hello Everyone,

Arpita here, back with a Decoupage tutorial for you all with some fun and interesting technique.Craftangles has a very wide and Beautiful range of Decoupage papers and one of their latest Vintage Dressforms is absolutely gorgeous collection of Decoupage papers. I have altered an old box, given it a vintage/rustic look using one of the prints from this collection for today’s project.Have a brief tutorial for the same.

How to make Vintage Decoupage Box...

Step 1

Cut tissue into small pieces and stick them with Decoupage Glue around the edges of the top of the box.As seen in the picture while sticking let their be wrinkles as it adds a beautiful texture.

Step 2

Kneed and roll the clay and cut to the shape and size according to the decoupage print and the size of the box .I have used Mont Marte air drying clay but you can use any air drying clay for the same.

Step 3

Apply any glue for the clay to stick,transfer the clay on the box and shape the edges as you desire. Shaping the edges when the clay is still wet and pliable. This clay takes about 24 hrs to dry completely.

Step 4

Once the clay was completely dry I tore the edges of the paper and adhered the print using decoupage glue. Whenever you want to blend your paper with the paints of the background always tare the paper with hand and not scissors,as with rough edges it’s easy to blend the paper with the background.

Step 5

I used different shades of brown and white to paint the background also did stamping and black splatters to blend the paper and the background.

Now for the area where I had stuck the tissue,painted the whole with Midnight black chalky paint and let it dry. Next I dry brushed using the moss green chalky paint and finally to give a vintage look I brushed the art Alchemy vintage gold wax.
