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

Vintage Decoupage Bottle

Hello Everyone

Arpita here,hope you all are doing well. Today I am sharing a altered decoupage bottle. 

Enjoy the Pictorial

I began with priming the surface. I painted the bottle with snow-white chalky paint.

I have chosen the Gentleman Decoupage Paper for today’s project. Next I cut out my chosen print to size of the surface and stuck it with Craftangles decoupage glue. Also gave a top coat using the same decoupage glue.

I also did clay work around the Decoupage’d print as you see in the picture.

I created some beautiful texture all over the bottle using craftangles texture paste and crackle paste.

Final step was to add color. Once my texture paste dried I painted all of my clay work work with vintage blue chalky paint and let it dry.

Next to highlight all the texture I dry brushed with midnight dream chalky paint and art Alchemy vintage gold wax.

This is how the bottle looks

Hope you all liked this tutorial.

Decoupage on Tote Bag

Hello Everyone

Arpita here,hope you all are doing well. Today,I have decoupage’d a tote bag 

Let’s Begin With The Tutorial of Decoupage of the Tote Bag

I divided the surface into 9 equal boxes as you see in the below picture and have painted each box with different colours of chalky paint from Craftangles.

Next for each square I have used different Decoupage prints, Decoupage tissue and also did just stenciling in couple of squares.

Using Decoupage glue I stuck the tissues and all the fussy cut decoupage paper. Give a top coat using the same decoupage glue. Finally seal it with a coat of varnish.

Here are the close ups
