A photo frame is a gift that can be handed to any person without fear of not being pleased with the choice. The assortment of frames for photos in stores is huge, but I want to make an original gift! One of the options for the design of the photo frame is the technique of decoupage (decoration with napkins). We propose to perform decoupage of the photo frames by our own hands.
Master class for beginners - decoupage photo frames
For a photo frame in the style of decoupage used napkins, consisting of at least two layers, or special decoupage paper. You can also use clippings from magazines, but in this case, the paper can not easily lie on the wooden frame, because of which defects will be visible.
You will need:
- wooden frame;
- paper for decoupage;
- acrylic paint or stain;
- adhesive for decoupage;
- soft brush;
- stationery knife;
- fine sandpaper;
- colorless lacquer.
How to make decoupage photo frames?
- In the case of making decoupage from a napkin, carefully separate the upper napkin layer. If the paper for decoupage is taken, we have a frame on the sheet, we draw it around the outer and inner contours with a pencil. Cut the paper blank.
- We cover with acrylic paint or stain the back, side, inner parts of the frame, without painting at the top of the frame.
- If paper is used, then glue the upper part of the frame with glue. It is convenient to use a glue spray.
- On a well-oversaturated surface, we lay the paper blank, glue it, so that no bubbles remain. If napkins are used, then they are applied to a dry surface, and then directly from above with light movements we cover with a brush using glue. At work, all wrinkles are immediately smoothed and defects are eliminated. Let the frame dry well
- When designing our product, we used the style of shebbie-chic. Decoupage of the photo frame in the vintage style allows you to make subjects "with a story." Light scuffs give the frame a look that looks like it once decorated the living room of your grandmother or even your great-grandmother. To give antiquity, lightly peel the edges from the inside and outside with sandpaper.
- To complete the work quickly, we cover the frame with liquid lacquer. The brush should be led in the same direction. After the first coat of varnish is applied, it is allowed to dry and a second lacquer layer is applied.
- The frame in the style of the shebbie-chic is ready!
