Take an old, shabby, boring table andturn it into a masterpiece. For this, you need necessarily uncolored furniture, coarse-grained sandpaper or a grinder, scissors, a set of brushes of different widths, napkins, a washcloth and some cleaning agent. As for the pictures, the choice is wide. These can be images cut from prints, photographs, pictures printed on the printer and other liked paper elements. To get beautiful tables, decoupage is pre-assembled from different elements on the surface in the location in which they plan to glue.
Decoupage before decoiling,The surface to be decorated must be prepared. If it is a table made of laminated chipboard, then it is simply wiped and degreased. For this, alcohol is suitable, since its residues quickly evaporate. If the surface of the table has cracks or other defects, then using a spatula fill them and sand with sandpaper. The whole wood surface must be well sanded, dust removed and primed. If you want to change the background to which decoupage will be applied, then it is best to choose acrylic paint for this purpose. If you paint the tables in an advantageous color, decoupage on them will look very impressive. After the primer and the paint have dried, we make "fitting", laying out in the optimal arrangement cut out patterns and a photo on the table.
Cut out pictures and pictures ina container of water, and then put on a file or an oilcloth picture down. Now very carefully remove the layers of paper on which the pattern is printed, and leave only the layer with the drawing itself. In order not to deal with stripping, you can use drawings from magazines or other printed publications. There, the paper is much thinner and you do not need to pre-wet it, and then remove the excess, you can immediately proceed to the label.
Lubricate the surface with PVA glue.We turn the file or oilcloth and place it so that the picture lies in the desired place on the surface of the table. Carefully smooth the picture (without removing the oilcloth) to remove air between the picture and the surface of the table. After all the details of the intended pattern on the table have been placed in the manner described above, it is necessary to allow the glue to dry well. Then several layers of varnish should be applied to the entire surface of the table.
Successfully performing the decoupage of the table with their own hands, the photo can be put on the Internet to inspire others to create small masterpieces that so decorate the house.
