New Year's combs decoupage. Decoupage is the best way to make ordinary things beautiful. Decoupage of a wooden board with one-step craquelure, master class with photos

The master class was conducted by Elena Palenaya.



It would seem like a banal thing. It's in every lady's purse. But a comb made by yourself carries a completely different energy than one bought in a store. For decoration we will use the technique of “implanting a printout”, popularly called “muzzle in varnish”.

Materials:
wooden hair brush;
printout on regular office paper;
white acrylic paint;
colored acrylic paints;
acrylic lacquer;
structural paste.

Tools:
flat synthetic brush (for varnishing);
foam sponge;

Sanding block;
stencil;
toothbrush (for spraying);
foam roller.

How to decoupage a comb.

We sand the hair brush and paint it white acrylic paint. We are waiting for it to dry.

1


We cover the hair brush (the place where we will glue the printout) and the cut out motif (the front side) with acrylic varnish. Glue the front part to the workpiece! We need to smooth the printout so that there are no bubbles; for this purpose I use a roller. We wait for it to dry, about three to four hours, depending on the room temperature.

2


We take a foam sponge (I use regular ones for washing dishes) and carefully begin to wet the surface to be decorated. We try with the same sponge and sometimes with our finger to carefully roll up the wet paper. If it dries out, wet the surface again and roll up the paper until the design is completely revealed. Then we cover it with acrylic varnish, dry it and we can start painting.

3


To give our product a noble look, we make a three-dimensional design using a stencil and structural paste. Carefully sand the reliefs. We mix acrylic paints, trying to achieve a color identical to the base of the drawing. And with a brush, using point movements, we paint the unpainted surface of the comb in the main tone. Cover with varnish and dry. Using a sponge and brown paint, we age the sides of the comb using tamponing movements.

4


In this work I use spray (I want to achieve an antique effect). We dilute brown acrylic paint to the consistency of liquid sour cream, put paint on a brush, the brush should be at an angle to the product, run your finger along the bristles, achieving a spray. We varnish again several times (with mandatory drying between layers).

Ready!

It’s very simple and quick to make your own something so beautiful and stylish. It will not only perfectly complement the decor of your dressing table, but it can also be an excellent option for a sincere gift.

For decoupage we will need:

  • glue;
  • acrylic paint (white and dark);
  • brush;
  • sandpaper;
  • candle;
  • napkin.

Master class on decoupage on wood

Cover the comb with primer on both sides alternately and leave to dry for at least an hour.

We also cover the comb with dark acrylic paint on both sides and leave it to dry for another couple of hours.

Our preparation has dried. Now we take a candle and rub it on all the protruding parts of the comb, and also make a couple of stripes on a flat surface. These will be our future cracks, so we try to make straight lines. As soon as we have touched the candle, we need to brush off all the excess particles with a soft, dry brush.

We cover the comb with several layers of white paint with intermediate drying.

After our comb has dried, we take sandpaper and sand the places that were rubbed with a candle so that the lower dark layer of paint becomes visible.

We select the motif we like from a napkin and tear out the necessary fragments of the design. Separate the top colorful layer of the napkin.

We glue our image using the file method, which you can learn more about in the previous decoupage master class. Let the comb dry.

We get such wonderful textured spots! We also spray on the second side.

After this, cover the comb with several layers of varnish and let it dry. Thus, we get an unusual, beautiful designer comb, which will be one of a kind!

Thank you for your attention and good luck!

To massage your head while combing, you need to use massage brushes. However, a regular wooden comb is boring. In order to diversify the contents of your handbag, a wooden comb can be decorated using your favorite decoupage technique. However, we will learn how to create an antique effect in decoupage without using craquelure.

Prepare an image that you want to see every day. For example, you can take these dull roses and decorate your comb in an antique style.

For decoupage you will also need: acrylic paint of several colors (white, ivory, burnt umber, light gold), acrylic varnish and decoupage glue.

Before painting wood with acrylic, you need to remove the layer of varnish that was applied. industrially. To do this, sand the wood with sandpaper, first with coarse grain No. 100, then No. 230.

Cover workplace film. Cover the sanded comb with white acrylic paint in several layers.

The acrylic must dry for at least 30 minutes. In this case, the paint will act as a primer.

Then, sand the comb with sandpaper to remove any uneven paint.

Let's start applying the main tone, it will be burnt umber, this color is suitable for creating the effect of antiquity in decoupage. You can apply the paint with a brush; it is not necessary to create a perfectly uniform layer.

Set the comb aside to let the umber dry.

Now apply the top tone of the comb. For an antique effect, ivory color is suitable. We will create the effect of darker paint showing through from under light paint. Use a brush to paint the comb with ivory color, do not try to apply the paint in a thick layer.

While the paint is drying, tear out the roses and small butterflies with your hands. The edges of the torn fragments of the napkin should not be smooth.

After the light paint has dried, you should see with your own eyes the antiquity showing through in the decoupage: the umber should be visible from below, as if, over time, the top layer of paint had simply become thinner.

Arrange the pieces of napkin compositionally and glue them soft brush for decoupage glue.

When the glue has dried, cover the wooden comb with one layer of acrylic varnish so as not to damage the design or stain it.

Next, we will do the “old look” and enhance the worn-out effect of the comb. Mix a drop of burnt umber with gold and apply it to the sides of the comb with your finger or sponge (and then be sure to rub the paint with your finger). The important thing here is to get the effect of old worn gold. It was possible to use the “old gold” color, but there is a way out when this color is not available. Rub the same mixture of paints around the hole on the comb handle. You can even make a few strokes along the pasted rose (just apply the strokes with an old hard brush, and then wipe the paint almost dry).

After we decoupage the comb, it will become much more interesting than it was. The decoupage technique allows you to make cute and practical items and accessories with your own hands. A little about the decoupage technique. Decoupage is the decoration of familiar things. The work involves cutting out or marking a design from paper, cardboard, or fabric. The pictures needed for decoupage can be found on napkins, in magazines, on postcards, wrapping paper or on fabric. Then we apply the design to the base (wood, glass, metal, ceramic, plastic, porcelain). Next we paint and varnish the surface.

Decoupage will allow you not only to decorate objects, but also to give them a second life. With the help of this technique, even the oldest and most ugly thing is transformed into beautiful and new, becoming a real work of art. On the contrary, you can turn a new thing into an old one, that is, artificially age it. This is done thanks to the craquelure coating. The most popular pictures for decoupage are made from napkins. This is why decoupage is also called the napkin technique.

Necessary materials:

  1. Wooden comb.
  2. Napkin for decoupage.
  3. White matte primer for decoupage.
  4. Decoupage glue or liquid PVA.
  5. Universal acrylic varnish.
  6. Wide brush (preferably fan-shaped).
  7. Sponge or piece of foam rubber.
  8. Alcohol.
  9. Cotton wool.

Completing of the work

Soak cotton wool in alcohol or nail polish remover and thoroughly wipe the comb with it on all sides to degrease it and ensure good adhesion of the primer to the surface of the comb.

Now, using a sponge or a piece of foam rubber, you need to cover the entire surface of the comb with white matte primer for decoupage. The primer can be applied with a brush or sponge or a piece of foam rubber using the tamponing method. After applying the primer, wait until it is completely dry and then proceed to the next steps.

Take a decoupage napkin and apply it to the comb. Choose the most successful placement of the design on the comb and use chalk to trace the contours of the comb on a napkin. Trace very lightly to just outline the boundaries.

Now you need to cut out the design along the outlined contours. But it’s best not to cut it with scissors, but to carefully tear it off with your hands. If the prepared napkin does not cover the entire surface of the comb, tear out a few more suitable-sized pieces with a pattern from the remaining napkin and place them on the comb.

After remembering the location of all the pieces of napkin, remove them from the comb and separate the top layer of the napkin with a pattern from the two lower white layers.

Place the napkin on the comb. Dip a wide brush (preferably a fan brush) into decoupage glue and begin to coat the napkin on the comb with glue. Take enough glue so that the brush is not semi-dry. Carefully smooth out the wrinkles formed on the napkin with a brush from the middle to the edges. It is advisable to do this quickly, but carefully; if you press hard on the brush and move it over the same place many times, the napkin may tear.

If large folds have formed, then to smooth them out, you can carefully lift the napkin, holding its dry edges, then lower it and continue smoothing with a brush.

Coat the edges of the napkin well with glue so that they stick securely to the comb and do not protrude.

Before you start decoupaging the bottom side of the comb, wait until the napkins on the top side are dry, otherwise you may accidentally tear them in the process. When the top side is dry, prepare a suitable piece of napkin for the handle, separate the lower layers of the napkin and glue the design in the manner described above. Leave the comb for 30-40 minutes to dry. Next you need to tint the edges of the comb with acrylic paint. The paint color should match the main drawing.

You can add gold paint to some elements on top of the comb. For example, you can outline the edges of the petals on flowers, etc. with gold paint.

Decoupage on wood allows you to transform and decorate any wooden objects. This is a great opportunity to give new life old furniture. By following the recommendations, you will be able to realize any desire and get an excellent result.

Materials and tools needed for wood decoupage

For decoupage on wood, you need to prepare several tools that will help you decorate the desired element. All of them are presented in stationery stores or handicraft stores, which are found in every city.

  • The first thing that is required is a wooden blank or a prepared wooden surface of a table or other thing.
  • You also need paper napkins with a design you like, which will be transferred to the tree. In specialized craft stores you can find blanks on rice paper. They undergo special processing and are easier to work with.
  • Brushes are needed to smooth and adhere the napkins. It is recommended to choose wide options with artificial pile.
  • A special primer for wooden surfaces is also required.
  • The obtained result is fixed with varnish intended for decoupage. There are several options with a glossy or matte effect.

You should also prepare:

  • wood putty;
  • rags;
  • PVA glue;
  • sponges;
  • containers for glue, varnish;
  • scissors;
  • sandpaper.

Decoupage on wood for beginners

  1. You need to start the process by removing old paint from the surface and sanding it. This can be done using sandpaper or a grinding machine. You can get the desired result only if you work with even wood.
  2. After this you need to apply primer. This can be acrylic paint or a special primer, which is sold in construction stores. The primer is applied with a brush or sponge. To continue working, you should wait until it dries completely.
  3. The next step is preparing the drawing. The necessary parts are cut out of a napkin and laid out on the surface. This will help avoid design errors.
  4. Apply glue under the napkins using a brush. Starting from the center of the image, the napkin is smoothed out so that there are no unevenness. You need to let the glue dry well, about thirty minutes. Then you should dry the decoupage with a hairdryer. After this, the surface with the pattern is painted with acrylic paint of a suitable shade.
  5. The final stage is applying varnish. It can be applied in one or two layers, depending on preference. It adds shine to the product and protects against various external influences.

How to do decoupage on wood correctly, features

All stages of decoupage must be carried out carefully, without haste. Trying to speed up the process can simply ruin everything, it’s better to be patient.

  • One of important points is the preparation of a wooden surface. It should be even and smooth. If there are gaps and cracks, they need to be puttied. There should be no varnish or paint on the surface; they interfere with the quality of the application.
  • It is better to tear out the design rather than cut it out with scissors. Cropped edges are more difficult to blend into the overall background.
  • If the drawing is taken from a napkin, you need to separate the layer on which it is depicted most clearly. It should be remembered that the material is very thin and can be easily damaged. Therefore, all movements must be smooth.

Decoupage wooden table

Decoupage gives any furniture, especially children's furniture, a unique originality. In addition, this technique helps restore old furniture - see how a new children's chair was made from an old chair using the decoupage technique. This master class will also discuss in detail the process of restoring an old product and turning it into a new one - we will decoupage a children's wooden table.

Was:


To work you will need:

  • coating on the floor against paint smudges;
  • sandpaper No. 5 and No. 0 (if possible, it is better to use a sanding machine);
  • white acrylic paint;
  • clear acrylic varnish;
  • color scheme of a suitable shade;
  • masking tape 2-3 cm wide;
  • container with a lid of at least 0.5 l;
  • stick for stirring paint;
  • brush 4 cm;
  • napkins with a pattern;
  • spray bottle with water;
  • one sheet of transparent file;
  • PVA glue;
  • small capacity.

Work process

If the table is made of solid birch, then there is no need to sand it after the first coat of paint. Pine furniture needs to be treated with sandpaper to remove raised lint after painting.


In this way, you can not only decoupage a wooden table, but also decorate various wooden furniture.

Decoupage of a wooden comb, master class with photos

Inspiration is a great power! The power that helps create the most incredible things. Every needlewoman is capable of decorating absolutely any thing that falls into her hands. For example, an ordinary, unremarkable wooden comb, decorated using the decoupage technique, easily turns into a wonderful, individual item in a few hours.

To work you will need:

  • a napkin with your favorite design or motifs;
  • PVA glue;
  • medium-sized soft brush;
  • acrylic paints;
  • small sponge for washing dishes.

Work process

It is advisable to choose a bright, comfortable place for creativity. It is advisable to cover the working surface with oilcloth or file. First of all, remove the part with teeth from the comb. The surface of the comb can be degreased using pharmaceutical alcohol, but this is not necessary.


Then we proceed to prepare the napkin elements with which we will work. They need to be cut out carefully. For decoupage, only the top layer with a pattern is needed.


Then the most interesting thing happens. We place the element on the surface of the comb and very slowly, gently begin to coat it with glue from top to bottom. This must be done extremely carefully and carefully. The pattern should lie flat, without air bubbles or tears, and without stretching too much.


Glue the remaining parts in the same way. The smaller the piece, the easier it is to apply. For beginners and those who do decoupage for the first time, it is better to work with small motifs. It is difficult to glue a napkin in full size, and even more so on such a figured surface.


Then leave the comb to dry thoroughly in a dry, ventilated, but draft-free place. Once it dries, it will become faded.


Now you can start painting. We apply acrylic paint to the entire surface, painting a little on the edges of the motifs.


Don't forget to paint the other side as well.


The finishing touch is the application of gold and silver glitter. Apply acrylic paint to a piece of sponge and lightly blot all surfaces.


We repeat the procedure on the other side. Acrylic dries instantly. We put back the part with the teeth and – that’s it, the decoupage is ready!



So easily and quickly anyone can make a wonderful thing for themselves or as a gift to a friend. This is the final decoupage of a wooden comb:


Decoupage of a wooden board with one-step craquelure, master class with photos

Every housewife has an assortment of cutting boards in her kitchen. Nevertheless, a board will never be superfluous in the household, especially if it is made by yourself. Any housewife will be happy with such a gift. In this master class we will tell you how to decorate a wooden board, namely, we will make decoupage on wood with one-step craquelure.

To work you will need:

  • board;
  • sandpaper;
  • PVA glue;
  • white architect paint for carpentry (as a primer);
  • colored acrylic paints;
  • brushes;
  • foam sponge;
  • stationery clip;
  • decoupage card;
  • craquelure varnish;
  • bitumen varnish;
  • acrylic lacquer.

Work process

Before you start decoupage, the surface of the wooden board needs to be sanded with sandpaper.

Coat with PVA glue and dry.

Cover the board with white paint, creating a smooth, even surface.



Prepare a decoupage card, choose a plot, tear off the edges of the card to make it easier to disguise the border.

Mark the place where the drawing will be located.

Since the decoupage card is thick, the craquelure will not be visible through it, so leave the rest of the space on the board for craquelure. Paint it dark.

Dry the board. Cover the painted base with craquelure varnish.

Dry, but not until completely dry, but so that stickiness remains.

Paint the edge of the board a contrasting color, touching each area only once.

After some time, cracks appeared.

Glue the decoupage card onto the remaining space.

Dry. Protect the drawing with acrylic varnish.

After drying, level the overall background of the board so that the borders of the glued card are not noticeable.

At the end of the work, stain the edge of the board with bitumen varnish, giving the appearance of aging. This is how the decoupage of a wooden board turns out in the end:

Master class with photos: decoupage of a wooden tray

On the eve of the Great and Bright Feast of Christ's Resurrection, we all try to prepare for it: we fast, pray and cleanse ourselves; we are cleaning and decorating our home after “hibernation”, and, of course, we are already thinking through all the little details of the Easter table... Today we propose to do one of these practical little things with our own hands and, who knows, maybe it will become a decoration for your holiday table . Also, our craft can become a wonderful gift to family and friends.

We will do decoupage on wood, namely decorate a wooden tray. Since “-eggs” is a more pagan theme regarding Easter, I liked the napkin with the communion cup, the Word of God (the Bible) and the grapevine - a symbol of paradise, the promised land for those who partake of the Body and Blood of Christ.

We will need:

  • wood blank;
  • acrylic paints;
  • water or alcohol stain;
  • PVA glue;
  • napkin motifs;
  • stationery file;
  • acrylic varnish;
  • brushes

Work process

Let's decide on a picture.

We try it on, combine it, adjust it, admire it. Our tune fits perfectly on the bottom of the tray - so be it.

We sand and polish our wooden workpiece, carefully sweep away the dust.

Cover the sides of the tray with masking tape.

We prime the place where we will glue the napkin with white acrylic paint.

While the soil is drying, we prepare a napkin - we spray our napkin with a strong saline solution from a spray bottle, iron it without steam on the back side, then on the front side.

Separate two layers from the colorful tissue paper. Place the design down on the stationery file. We pour water - the tune should float. Using a fan brush or even just a finger, carefully remove air bubbles and smooth out the folds.

We carefully lift it up, as if draining the excess water (I usually do it directly onto the floor - it’s easy to wipe the tiles).

We arrange our beauty on a tray.

We work with a brush again, leveling the drawing.
Again, brush + PVA in half with water - carefully but gently (!) coat and glue.
After drying (preferably overnight), cover with a layer of varnish. If there is a need, desire and skills, we add shadows, highlights, and artistic finishing touches to our tray.

We work with the sides: apply stain once or twice, as we like.
To make the work resistant to abrasion, you need to apply many layers of varnish with intermediate sanding with fine sandpaper every three layers of varnish (if you use alkyd or polyurethane varnish, everything is much simpler, but not so environmentally friendly). Decoupage of a wooden tray is ready.
Serve and admire)!
