Decoupage on Terracotta Pot

Hello Everyone

Arpita here,hope you all are doing fine. I have a Decoupage’d Terracotta Pot to share with you all.

Detailed Pictorial 

I started with painting the pot with snow white chalky paint. Have given 2coats letting them dry between each coat.

Next I cut the squares from the Floral Batik Print Decoupage Paper and stick it using decoupage glue.

I stick the double sided glue tape around forming a border around the print.

I choose the yellow gold reactive foil for this. Cut a small piece and keep on top of the tacky surface and burnish it well using your fingers. As you see in the picture below haven’t got the proper coverage of the foil,if this happens don’t worry just burnish it over once again and it will stick. The key is to give good and equal pressure. And if you have areas where it is not sticking cause there isn’t enough tackiness,apply a thin coat of foil Magic using a brush and burnish the foil and you will get amazing results. This is what I have done you can see the results in the final pictures.

Following the same steps I did the work all around the pot at equal distance . For the top of the pot painted with gold metallic paint.Finally Sealed it with 2 coats of varnish and it was done.

This Is How It Looks!

Floral Decoupage'd Tray

Hello Everyone

Arpita here, how is everyone doing today? i am back with another decoupage tutorial. Hope you love this Black Beauty as much as I loved making it. 

Detailed pictorial tutorial of the Decoupage’d Tray

The wooden tray is from Craftangles from their wide range of wooden bases. Painted the inside with the white Snow Chalky Paint.

Next I stencil with a doily. I tape it down with a piece of masking tape so it doesn’t move.

Using a sponge dauber I paint over it with the midnight dream chalky paint. While doing this make sure you do not have excess paint on your sponge to get a crisp stencil image.

Once the paint dried I slowly remove the doily and paint the rest of the tray with the same midnight dream chalky paint. Fussy cut a floral image from the Floral frenzy Decoupage paper and glue it down with the Decoupage glue.

Next I chose the Damask Basics stencil,did stenciling on all the sides with the Snow white chalky paint.

Wanted to incorporate my new favourite product from Craftangles,Yes it’s their Reactive Foils which I am totally obsessed with. Using a brush I applied the foil Magic on the rim of the tray once it got tacky burnished the gold reactive foil over it. When you apply it looks cloudy as you see in the picture below but it dries clear,it is perfect product to stick the foils and gilding flakes.

Finally sealed the tray with Craftangles decoupage varnish. As it’s a tray and will be often handled have given 3 coats of varnish.

Here is how the Tray Looks

Arpita Tornal

Upcycled Decoupage Box

Hello Everyone

Arpita here, excited to share my first decoupage post for 2021.Wishing you all a Very Happy and Healthy New Year! 

To upcycle ,give a new life ,a new purpose to an product is the most satisfying feeling for me as a crafter. So,I am very excited to share today’s upcycled project with you all.

Received this wedding invite,which was this beautiful and a sterd’y box and there was no way that I was letting it go to trash. I Decoupage’d it with the beautiful Craftangles Vintage dress Decoupage Paper.

Below is the pictorial tutorial of how I have used Decoupage technique for upcycling

Apply a coat of white gesso and once dried I stuck the paper on the surface with the Craftangles decoupage glue. Sand the extra paper using the sand paper and give a top coat using the same Decoupage glue.

Next step was to paint the spine and the back of the box. I used the Bubblegum pink, Ruby red and snow white chalky paints. Using a sponge dauber, blended these 3 colors to achieve a shade of my choice.

Using the same colors I did stenciling on the front with the Flourish stencil from Craftangles. Always use a stencil brush while stenciling for the best results.

Now my favourite part,to use the Reactive Foils. Craftangles have come with Beautiful colors of reactive foils that are so perfect to add a touch of shine and elegance to your projects.

I have stuck the double sided tape on all the edges of the box creating a border.

Remove the top white of the double sided tape,keep the foil on top and burnish it well using your finger or a bonefolder. I used a popsticle to do the same. Look how Beautiful the foiling using the same technique I did foiling on the spine of the box as well.

Lastly I did more stenciling on the back of the box with the Craftangles Dream Big little one stencil. I used the vintage gold wax to stencil. To seal and protect your work apply a coat of Craftangles varnish to the complete box.

Here Is The Final Look Of The Box

Hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial
