Decoupage wooden Christmas toys. Decoupage Christmas toys Decoupage Christmas tree

New Year is rushing to us! Vintage - decoupage balls!

Mk "Christmas tree toy".

We will need:

1. Plastic blank

2. Rice paper with a suitable plot

4. Acrylic paints

5. Structural paste

6. Antique Medium

7. Medium for flowing effects

8. Water-based liquid bitumen

9. Matt varnish

10. Alcohol for degreasing

From the tools we need:

Brushes
sponge
stencil,
palette knife,
sandpaper,
masking tape and
wet wipes.

Completing of the work:

We split our medallion in half and degrease the sides with which we will work. Since I am going to do the reverse decoupage on one of the halves, I degreased it from the inside.

I tear out the plot I like from rice paper. I take a half with a fat-free inner side and MANDATORY face down with this decoupage glue on my side.

While this half dries, I take the other - with a fat-free outer side. Using white acrylic paint, the primer surface (up to 2 times with intermediate drying).

After everything dries well, take a stencil and fasten it with a masking tape to a half. We take an acrylic paste (I have a universal Goya company) and with the help of a palette knife we \u200b\u200bapply it on a stencil.

We try to do it evenly, but if it doesn’t work out perfectly, don’t be upset - you can fix it later. We remove the stencil and let our pattern dry well.

I take a half with a pasted motive and put white acrylic paint on top of the drawing.

This is done in order to make our picture brighter, to show it. Try to leave the boundaries of the motive intact, we will then compare them with the general background. Sushim.

After that, I take a medium antique (plaid 17) and a medium for flowing effects (also plaid), mix it and apply a foam sponge slightly around the picture (remember, all this time we have been working with the inside of the medallion).

Now do the general background. To create a suitable tone, I needed white, green and ocher acrylic paints + medium for flowing effects.

I also apply them with a sponge, trying to equalize the borders of the picture with the background so that there is no noticeable transition. Sushim.

I take a half with a well-dried pattern. The pattern was not very neat, so I worked a little sandpaper.

Now I paint a half in a suitable color (I mixed ocher with white). Sushim.

After that I varnish (I have a Maimeri matt acrylic varnish). Dry again.

Now we take water-based liquid bitumen (ferrario company). I apply it with a brush over the entire surface, trying to better go through the pattern (get into all the clicks).

Let’s dry, just a couple of minutes. Then I take a wet towel and, slowly, remove the excess bitumen.

She wiped it - looked - she also wiped it, etc. In general, you decide when enough is enough. If you suddenly overdo it and wipe away the excess, don’t worry - repeat the “procedure” again (we have varnish under bitumen - it will keep our main color).

After you are satisfied with the result, let the bitumen dry and then varnish (I personally coat the bitumen with a spray varnish. It does not deform the bitumen itself, it does not form sagging).

Now connect our halves. We take cotton lace (you can tape) and glue it at the junction of the two halves in a circle.

From above we make a decorative bow from satin ribbons and we pass a lace. That's all.

Decoupage inside the ball (more precisely, the hemisphere). Using elements of the Arte-Franchise technique.

I will conduct a master class on the example of such a ball.

1. We take a plastic ball, the diameter you need.

2. We saw it along the factory gluing line, preferably precisely along the contour.

4. Using a sandpaper we clean all the irregularities at the place of the cut.

5. Paint the background inside the ball. You can use aerosol paints, you can tamp with a sponge. As you please. Use colors according to your motive. To speed it up, I painted it with an aerosol, but the background will be more beautiful, of course, with a sponge or a brush, because you can make more shadows, transitions in color, because the area of \u200b\u200bthe ball in this case is small.

6. I take cotton pads and exfoliate cotton from the middle of the disk. I put the appropriate pieces on the bottom of the ball, after having previously smeared the place of gluing with PVA glue. I apply it in small layers and sprinkle each layer with varnish (you can apply hairspray) or apply liquid PVA (papier-mâché principle from cotton wool).

7. We print in advance the motives of the size you need, several copies. I have six in the photo, but I printed more. There is a possibility that is not enough, in the process of work, for one reason or another. Therefore, it is better to make a larger amount, the same size. (although the size can be slightly changed, here you can also show your imagination).

8. We cut out the first level, the farthest, from one motive. For example, a horizon with trees. You can repeat this level twice, but in such a small space it seems to me that this will be superfluous. Then the second level, we cut out a motif with trees, then a strip with houses. And glue everything in a layer into a ball. I glue the Moment rubber glue, sometimes I use a hot gun, all kinds of linings to separate the layers. Sometimes I use insulation for linoleum or even this laying for leveling floors, under a parquet board, but I use it when there are large surfaces. You can double-sided tape.

9. After you have pasted all the layers, add more cotton wool until the lower borders of the pasted motifs are covered with cotton and merged together. Vata stick as described above. I glued motives with a slight shift down, so my pattern seems to be refracted. All these roughnesses can be tinted, retouched with paint to match.

10. From other prints, I cut out a central motif with a feeding trough and birds. In the photo there are less of them, I needed more birds. I glued this feeder separately and glued the whole preform into a ball. Again glued with cotton wool the places of joints, gluing and sprayed with varnish.

11. Then she cut fir branches from the following printouts.

12. Glued them around the edge of the ball, using glue "Moment", which was applied on the edge of the ball gently. Motives glued with an overlay, one on top of the other, in order to close the cropping spots, align the composition and just for beauty.

13. After the glue has dried, I cut off all the protruding moments with a clerical knife in the edge of the ball, accurately, accurately and evenly.

14. She applied contour paint, glitter snow on spruce branches, in the background she carried a strip like snowdrifts, freshened up color-snow on trees and roofs.

15. It has dried up, it is possible to sprinkle with varnish with sparkles (suitable for hair) and the whole thing is covered with acrylic spray varnish.

16. You can draw a circle around the edge of the ball with glitter and sparkles for beauty, etc. here it’s for sure how you want to do so.

17. Glue the eyelet to hang the ball on a hot gun, tie a bow and HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Mandatory working conditions! Printouts are best done on thick paper. I did on watercolor paper. And it’s better to make several copies at once. I made 7-8 copies.

Vintage Christmas tree toy using decoupage technique.

Take a big ball
the usual plastic blank is pale pink.

The first stage is sanding.

Now you need to degrease the surface

And prime the surface for better bonding with subsequent layers

The ball must be covered with two layers of soil, so that there would be no gaps on the toy ... and in addition, the layers should lie evenly, and then the toy will go to rest - to dry ...

So, work begins with color. Colors should be chosen light - they are easier to darken or repaint.

We use a suitable decoupage card or napkins.

We pass to the art stage.

We take a semi-finished ball with a picture in one hand, a special sponge swab in the other, and the first tint layer is applied with soaking movements, then the game starts with a color palette, strokes of different tones are added here and there ... the effect is magical ... as if from under one layer another appears ... very similar to laminated glass.

Then comes varnishing in 3 layers with an interval of one hour and subsequent drying for 4 hours. - “The main thing is to twist very quickly and evenly, otherwise the varnish will not completely cover the toy”, it is better to rotate it by the wooden leg, like a centrifuge.

Before the stage - "dives" we skin the balls, and then we bathe the toys in varnish and put in rows to dry in special holes.

Following is a magical and very crucial stage - creating cracks with two-component craquelure varnish.

The pattern neatly covers a grid of many cracks.

The next three stages are the application of several layers of varnish, then skinning, again - varnish and skinning, once again several layers of varnish, and leave to dry completely.

The final stage was decorating with lace, by the way, also aged. After all, lace is taken completely new, but after a couple of hours of witchcraft and really simple manipulations it becomes ancient.

Everything is simple:

We make strong and tasty coffee .. no, no .. and don’t drink it .. and dip white cotton lace in it .. then dry it, then wash it in some places and voila !! The old lace is ready! The process seemed pleasant, tasty, fragrant and no less creative. At the very end, the old bow is hoisted on a ball, a golden braid and colored ribbons give the zest. The view must be said, the toys are solemn.

Christmas balls.

We will decorate a plastic ball using the decoupage technique. No special skills are required. So let's get started!

We will need:

Plastic balls, diam. 8 cm.,
- acrylic paints: white, yellow, blue,
- acrylic lacquer,
- three-layer napkins with a pattern,
- PVA,
- sparkles
- a little semolina,
- contours for glass and ceramics,
- brushes flat synthetics,
- a piece of sponge,
- Politra (I have a plastic molding board).

If there are no special ball blanks, then ordinary balls without a pattern can be used.

We take a ball and a piece of a sponge for washing dishes, put a little white paint on the palette, blot it with a sponge into the paint and pop it on the ball. There should always be paint on the sponge, then it turns out like a snow coating on the ball.

So do with all the balls and hang them to dry (1 hour). That's what happened

While the balls are dry, prepare napkins.

Separate the upper colorful layer from white.

Carefully cut or tear out motives.

We dilute the PVA half with water and glue the motifs on the balls. start gluing from the middle of the motive and gradually move to the edge.

And so we do with all motives.

For balls with bunnies, we draw a light yellow paint and click on a white background around the motif.

When the paint dries, cover the ball with varnish.

These were already beautiful balls.

Now we will make them New Year's!
We take a little white paint and pour semolina into it so that it turns out to be a thick porridge and apply it with a thin brush to the ball in those places where we will have snow.

The ball is ready!

For inspiration:

New Year's Eve on the nose, which means it's time to start manufacturing exclusive decorations for the holiday. New Year decoupage will help to breathe new life into old Christmas tree decorations, create unique accessories from champagne or candles.

This decoration technique is quite simple, but it will bring maximum pleasure to everyone involved in the process. With its help, you can not only amazingly decorate the house, but also give decorated products to loved ones.

What tree without Christmas balls? Dull or boring balls for many years can always be transformed by decorating them using decoupage technique.

Balls from any materials are used as a basis: glass, plastic, wood, papier-mâché. You can buy new plain toys or take existing ones, breathing new life into them.

For decoration you will need the following materials and tools:

base, it should be smooth, this is important, so when using old toys they should be carefully cleaned;
white acrylic paint;
sponge or cosmetic sponge;
pVA glue (can be slightly diluted with water);
thin flat brush;
new Year theme pictures.

Pictures with suitable drawings can be printed on a color printer or cut from decorative napkins, even clippings from books or notes are suitable. For decoupage, it is better to use very thin paper so that wrinkles or creases do not turn out on the finished product.

The first step is to prepare the toys for further decoration. To do this, apply acrylic paint to them with a sponge, let it dry.

While the balls are drying, you need to cut out figures from napkins along the contour with a slight indentation. Typically, decorative napkins have several layers, for work you will need only the top one, on which the drawing is applied. If the picture is printed, then the image is cut out strictly along the contour or the necessary shape (circle, oval).

The cut image is applied to the ball in the right place, gently begin to smear it with glue with a brush, moving from the center of the picture to the edges. In this way we cover the entire necessary area, and gently wipe off excess glue with a soft cloth.

If the picture is printed, then before you paste it, you should try on. Attach a picture to the toy, cut off all the excess and make small cuts along the edges of the image in those places where the drawing will not suffer from them. This is done so that thick paper without wrinkles lies on a spherical base.

In the place where the picture will be on the ball, make marks, coat this area with glue, then apply the adjusted image and smooth it with PVA, as described above.

Important: Ink on printed images may be unstable. It is advisable to pre-coat the desired picture with water varnish, dry it and only then proceed to decoupage.

We give the glue to dry and mask the edges of the picture with paint and a sponge, carefully painting the joints.

Decoupage Christmas balls should be as effective as possible.

For further decoration, you can use:

Sparkles. With transparent glue, coat certain areas of the ball, including the picture, and sprinkle the toy with sparkles. Brilliant ornament will remain only in those places where there was glue.
Glitters. Shiny contour paints can be used to create original ornaments on toys. You can circle a picture or draw dots, snowflakes, etc.
Beads and beads. The image, especially the round shape, can be decorated with beads along the contour, sticking them on super-glue or transparent silicone.
Stencils. Acrylic is applied with a sponge through a pre-prepared template.
Seashells, dried flowers, rhinestones, etc.

The finished ball does not have to be white, after the picture is pasted, you can gently use the brush to give the background the desired color.

Such Christmas toys can be effectively supplemented with ribbons or lace, hanging on a decorative cord.

Decoupage bottles

You can decorate the New Year's table or create spectacular gift sets using champagne bottles decorated using decoupage technique. Even wine bottles can be decorated in this way, giving exclusive gifts to colleagues or friends.

To decoupage champagne, you will need the same tools and materials as for balls. In addition, use masking tape to cover the label for the period of operation.

The bottle must be prepared by removing all unnecessary stickers and labels. You can lower it in boiling water for a minute and remove the remaining paper.

Masking tape to seal the top of the bottle. White acrylic paint with a brush and sponge, we coat all the areas where the picture will be located. It can be both the entire surface of the glass, and individual places.

A drawing is applied to the dried soil and gently glue from the center to the edges. For large images, it is better to use a wide fan brush. If the picture has become torn and started to tear, gently connect the edges of the picture at the points of tearing; this will not be noticeable on a dried champagne bottle. If the defect catches your eye, then you can mask it with something: sparkles, paint.

When the pasted picture dries, you can tint all open areas of the bottle.

Carefully use a sponge to apply paint to all white areas. Suitable paint, harmoniously combined with the shades of the picture, gold or silver. If necessary, the finished New Year decoupage can be supplemented with spectacular details.

Congratulatory lettering or an original ornament should be applied with glitter, and with the help of white paint, decoy and sparkles - create realistic snow and emphasize individual elements of the picture.

In conclusion, you need to cover the entire product with water-based varnish or special for decoupage. Around the neck of the bottle is to tie a ribbon as a final touch.

Such champagne can be a good gift for the New Year.

New Year's decoupage of champagne can be done in various ways, for example, pasting the bottle with a thin cotton cloth. The glass surface is coated with glue and wrapped with cloth. With the help of the brush and hands, the fabric is pressed as tightly as possible to the bottle, all kinds of folds, wrinkles and ornaments are formed. In advance, you can stick a picture on the glass, and distribute the material around it.

New Year Decoupage Ideas

New Year's decoupage is indispensable for creating holiday accessories or the original design of gifts. You can decorate almost any objects, the main thing is that their surface is smooth.

Let's complicate the task: decoupage a Christmas ball using craquelure

I like!

Decoupage toys is a good way to transform an old toy, as well as make a new one that you like.

However, it is quite possible to make a Christmas ball yourself, and then decorate it using the decoupage technique.

Now it has become fashionable to do everything with your own hands.

This is appreciated much more by relatives and friends, because in what you create yourself, you invest a part of the soul.

In addition, the decoupage of Christmas toys can give you a sea of \u200b\u200bunforgettable emotions and make it even more attractive and festive.

DIY decoupage of a Christmas tree toy

To make a toy decoupage with your own hands, you need to remove all unnecessary items from it so that only the ball remains.

If the toy has sparkles or other irregularities, they will have to be removed, otherwise decoupage will fail.

Actions must be performed with the following sequence:

first we clean the toy, then sand it (if you don’t have a special tool, take an ordinary sandpaper or other rough, rough object).
now you need to color the ball. To do this, we take acrylic paints and a small diameter brush. It will probably be inconvenient to apply the paint, and so that your hands do not get dirty, you need to pick up a thin long stick that will be built into the hole in the ball.

Hint: the stick may be the most common - if you like sushi, you will probably have the right one for this occasion.

In this sense, it’s easier to perform than Christmas decorations - there is more space, and it’s easier to paint the surface, because it is not round, but is on the floor.

After you find the wand, insert it into the hole in the ball, and then put it into a small container by inserting the other end.

For proper decoupage of Christmas tree decorations, you must first apply one coat of acrylic paint, and then another one when the first one dries.

it should be applied carefully so that a minimum of lumps is formed.

If there are lumps, you need to think about the quality of the paint, you may need to dilute it a little.

The second layer is made so that there are no streaks and strips, which on the surface of the first layer are quite acceptable.

We choose napkins for decoupage toys DIY Christmas content. It can be angels, snow maiden, Santa Claus, snowflakes, snowmen - anything.

Check if the paint has dried and continue:

take a napkin, separate the patterned layer from it. As a rule, napkins are multi-layered, so decoupage of Christmas toys with their use does not cause difficulties.
we smear the undercoat of the layer with the pattern with glue, and then apply it to the toy.
the decoupage surface must be coated with the paint of the desired color. Better to choose a warm shade. True, you can mix a few if you want to experiment.
and on other materials from which balls can be made, it is applied with a washcloth. It is not necessary to use the entire washcloth, you can cut a piece from it. It is better if there is a small square with a place so that you can hold on to it. Press with your index finger on top of the washcloth so that the paint lays down in a more even and dense layer.
the places where you stuck the images should be left untouched, but in some cases the borders of the picture are still covered with a small layer of paint, translucent.
if you have the opportunity to find gold glitter, or some other one, circle them with the outline of the image to give volume.

Important: do not forget to ensure that when decoupage the Christmas tree toys there are no folds, otherwise the product will not look beautiful and neat.

If wrinkles still appear, but this is difficult to avoid, take a sandpaper or other similar item for mashing. Just remember - you need to wipe only a dry surface.

Using glitter, we also make toys, depicting the dots or even lines of the contours of snowflakes, curls and other attributes.

Decoupage Christmas tree toys

If you have an old light bulb, you can decorate it beautifully and originally with the help of painting or decoupage technique. However, it is quite acceptable to combine these two directions in order to get a more attractive result.

We work according to the same scheme as with the decoupage of an old toy, but no longer need to wipe the surface - just clean it well.

It is better to fix the cleaning by degreasing - work the surface with an alcohol solution, for example. The primer must be applied, because the napkin is better fixed on it.

When all the work on the decoupage of a Christmas tree toy with your own hands is done, and the topmost coating dries well, you can start decorating.

Lamps of unusual shapes can be decorated with various interesting charms, such as beads. By the way, in haberdashery shops you can find accessories that are ideal for decoration.

If the lamp has a white color and a neutral, delicate shade, white pearl beads can be attached to it with glue, which will be cut into two parts.

You don’t need to cut it - everything is already sold ready-made, and the beads come in different sizes.

Decoupage cardboard Christmas tree decorations

This decoupage is easy to do with your own hands. Here we do not need a Christmas tree toy.

We will make it out of cardboard. To do this, cut out a ball from a cardboard or any other shape of a toy (Christmas trees, angels, etc.).

Make a ribbon hole in the cardboard Christmas tree toy.

Then we take a napkin for decoupage. We attach it to the toy and outline its contours.

Carefully cut out, because the napkin is very fragile.

We paint the toy for decoupage with acrylic paint. It is able to replace the primer.

Peel off the second layer from the cut napkin and apply it to the cardboard blank.

We coat it not with glue, but with plain water from the center to the edges.

Then we take glue for decoupage of water-based Christmas decorations and also apply it from the center to a napkin.

You can create an element of aging toys with a sponge and silver acrylic paint, but this is up to you.

Beautiful and unusual Christmas decorations using decoupage technique will be a great decoration for a Christmas tree. They are able to please you and your guests with their uniqueness and unmatchedness!

Use a hairdryer and blow dry the Christmas ball. After this, the cracks will become more noticeable. At the end of the process we get a ball, as in the photo. Leave it suspended until completely dry.

Cover the dried workpiece with soil, then start gluing the selected motifs of the napkin.

After that, apply several layers of glossy varnish. Remember that each layer should dry well. Using imagination, paint fabulous motifs with paint. You get a New Year's ball, as in the photo.
