Just a week left before the light of Easter, and we - friendly version of the site Kolobok.ua - at all speeds we are ready for it. Today we offer to decorate Easter eggs in decoupage technique. Now you're ready!
Decoupage - is the kind of application of paper or napkins when we cut, torn off pieces, fragments of the figure or an ornament and is pasted on the prepared surface or object. To work securely attached varnish.
The basis for the Easter decor eggs are: cooked whole, an empty shell, plastic, wood, foam blanks for decorating. For best results, the color of the shell should be white.
Do I need a PVA glue and flat brush medium soft, sharp scissors and pictures. The shops and crafts decor sold special napkins for decoupage, rice paper and maps with thematic patterns, the usual bilayer festive napkins with a small figure.
If the eggs are going to use in food, it is better to replace the egg white PVA glue, which also has a sufficient degree of tackiness. If you want, you can make flour, starch paste or gelatinous glue, it is simple, but will have to spend additional time.
Stages of work are not much different when using a different basis and types of glue.
First, you need to choose the pictures. If multilayer wipes, the upper layer was separated, cut fragments. Pictures decomposed on a flat surface for better viewing and selecting an appropriate item.
The place where we create, should not be near an open window or in a draft to the workpiece is not scattered by the wind blow, because they are very light. It is advisable not to allow the desktop and beloved helpers - pets who want to play with interesting rustling objects.
Prepare glue or PVA glue diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 1. To prepare the surface for decoupage (primed with white acrylic paint), if we use a wooden or foam blank.
Apply adhesive on the egg to exert alternately each fragment to the surface of the brush and smooth, pre-oiled adhesive. Gently, without strong pressure, smooth image from the center to the edges. Cover the entire surface with a thin layer of glue (diluted PVA, egg white and others.) For fixing the composition. If the base is not natural, it is possible to use lacquer for the final coating.
To spread out the eggs to dry on a wire rack (stand under the hot) to wait until the work is dry.
Besides the traditional decoupage, you can apply it kind of - dekopatch or decoupage patchwork.
As a basis in this case we use a wooden or plastic egg. A fabric pictures serve for pasting surface.
Cut the fabric into small pieces of different shapes. Brush the egg with glue, then alternately apply and glue flaps. From strips of cloth flower roll up and place on top of the eggs. Decorate work beads, beads, sequins.
This technique is used not only the fabric but also the special Design paperThat mimics wood, fabric, and even fur glued pieces of napkins, elements of different materials in the form of a mosaic.
Pape Art - also a kind of decoupage, when the first of the napkins rolled flagella, and then of them are coming up with various designs and patterns, sticking to the surface of the egg.
To avoid mistakes, first in egg painted pattern pencil. After relieves dry, egg dyed acrylic paint, decorate with beads, beads, seeds.
Instead of paper "sausages" can be used 3D-Gel, Squeeze it directly from the tube, and drying psle decorated, but it is quite a difficult technique, and the novice is difficult to deal with it.
For paper technicians applies quilling. It is necessary to prepare the elements of the slips of paper (cut your own or buy ready-made cuts in an office supply store or craft). From the resulting figures and scrolls form the pattern.
An interesting effect is obtained from a corrugated fabric or paper. Prepare strips longer, we will cut their fringe glue on the egg using an adhesive or double-sided tape. Paper can be monochrome, color or with a pattern - is even more interesting. As a basis suitable billet of wood, plastic, foam, papier-mache.
Interestingly will look like an egg with a pattern of one subject, such as a large egg is a chicken, and a small - nest and flowers. Also can be placed on the surface of only one image, and free to decorate the hearth usual semolina.
It looks great decoupage on a rope, which had previously been papered egg. For the decorations do not have to choose three-dimensional shape, it may be flat, so you can decorate Easter eggs tree or make a fridge magnet.
