Master class - decoupage of the eternal calendar

In accordance with the plan our calendar has a strict solution, so we chose the most simple form for the product, but you can take a workpiece with shaped edges if you want.

1. We cover the workpiece with the paint of the selected black color. The advantage of acrylic paint is that before painting the product, there is no need to treat the surface with a primer. Also we paint the sides of the cubes. Painted parts give time to dry. We clean the edges with sandpaper.
2. Of decorative paper, we cut out squares that are slightly smaller than the sides of the cubes.
3. We glue the sides of the cubes, and all sides of the same cube must be pasted with different paper.
4. The figures for the date and the names of the months can be inked through a stencil or printed on photographic paper using a printer. The cubes will display the date, and the bottom of the bar - the name of the month.
5. We glue with decorative paper the front, back and sides of the main part. We attach the mini-clip to the front part in order to place the pictures on a dense basis. Depending on the date of the picture, you can change, for example, insert a photo of the birthday or an image associated with a memorable date.
