We process furniture.

When decorating a nursery with their own hands, you can use new furniture if it seems too boring or does not fit the style of the room. Materials that will be required for work, you are already familiar with the master classes that we described above:

• Decoupage paper;
• primer;
• putty for wood;
• Oil paint;
• acrylic paint;
• varnish for furniture;

At this work is finished, waiting for the complete drying, and you can decorate the children's furniture with a new piece of furniture.

Imagination, composed of a mosaic

There are different ways to decorate furniture with your own hands, and the mosaic will give the renewed image more wealth. The most accessible way - with the use of pieces of broken dishes or tiles. Most often the pattern goes abstract, which makes the future work of art unlike anything else.

We collect the necessary material:

• ceramic tiles ;
• glass cutter;
• adhesive for tiles;
• grout.

Then proceed to the actions:

1. We cut the tile with a glass cutter into small pieces.
2. Draw a pencil pattern on the surface, which we will decorate the mosaic.
3. We apply glue on this surface and lay the pieces of tile on the glue according to the drawing.
4. After the glue dries, fill the gaps between the tiles with a grout.

Some ease and original beauty of the finished work will please any mistress.

Now let's talk about decorating furniture with your own hands using fabric. Such decorative furnish of furniture is called a patch-decor. So, what we need:

• solvent (in case you need to remove old paint from the furniture);
• Sandpaper (emery), if we remove the old varnish;
• adhesive for fabric;
• PVA glue;
