Hello Everyone

Arpita here,hope you all are doing well. Today I have another altered box project using the Decoupage technique. Have a pictorial tutorial for the same.

For Today’s project I have used the Beautiful Gentleman1 Decoupage paper from Craftangles.

I started with painting the complete box with Midnight dreams chalky paint from Craftangles.I did shading with a bronze metallic paint at the top and lower part of the box to give more interest and depth.

Next I marked the area where I was sticking my print and did stenciling on the rest of the box. Used the honeycomb Stencil from Craftangles did stenciling with Vintage Gold art Alchemy wax .

Finally I stuck the image using the Decoupage glue.Gave a topcoat with the same glue and sealed the project with a varnish.And to make it more interesting I did stenciling with Texture Paste and stuck metal embellishment’s.

Here is the final look

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.

Decoupage on Glass Bottle

Hello Everyone...

Arpita here,I am sharing another home decor project with you all today. Have Decoupage'd a Bottle today. I had this beautiful green bottle with me and I wanted to work on it,when I started planning this project as I liked the natural color of the bottle I wanted the natural bottle to be seen . So decided not to Decoupage the complete bottle.

So Here is What I Made...

This pic shows the back of the bottle

A Brief Tutorial of the Same

Step 1

Stuck the tacky tape diagnolly. This helped the paint from getting on the area I didn't want.

Step 2

Painted with the Midnight Dreams Chalk Paint using a sponge dauber. Have given 2 coats of the paint.

Step 3

Decided to do stenciling.Have used Moss green and Buttercream chalk paint for the stencilling.

Step 4

Stick your fussy cut flowers.

Am using the Black Floral Print Decoupage paper today. Fussy cut the flowers I wanted to use.

Finally removed the tacky tape. Be patient during this step as you do not want to rip the paint off. Then stuck the fussy cut flowers on to the bottle . Added a cord and a embellishment to add some interest and my bottle was ready. Hope you all like this easy and fun tutorial.

Decoupage with Wood Grain Technique

Hello Everyone...

Today I have another Decoupage project, I tried wood graining technique for the first time and I am happy with the result. I Decoupage’d a trinket box using this technique.

A Brief Tutorial

I have used the beautiful-Vintage Butterflies 1 decoupage papers from Craftangles.

Step -1

For the base coat I have used the brown and black shades of paint. Poured both the colours randomly on the top of the box and painted to achieve a lovely shaded effect.

Step-2

For the topcoat, I have chosen the vintage Blue and snow White paint. Again I painted both colours together to achieve a shaded effect.

When your paint is still wet drag the wood grain tool in a rocking motion towards you to achieve a lovely wood grain effect.

Step – 3

I did stenciling of a phrase. Next I fussy cut a butterfly from the Vintage Butterflies paper and decoupage’d the butterfly with the Decoupage glue.
Finally sealed it with a coat of clear varnish.

Here is the final look of the box
