After few request here is a Tutorial on how I decoupage my glass plates:
a glass plate
modpodge
a pretty paper napkin
Scissors
Foam brush
and white silk or rice paper
some varnish
Start by peeling of the two white layer or your napkins
and cut the part that you want to apply on the plate
Apply a layer of modpodge on your clean plate (at the back)
Gently glue the paper napkin face on the glass
and add another layer of modpodge
Let dry
Cut the extra paper around
and apply the silk paper with more modpodge!
Smooth the surface with your finger
and
add more modpodge!
When it's dry repeat the cutting edge all around.
To remove some wrinkles you can iron the plate with a low iron
and a parchment paper on top to protect it.
To finish it apply few layers of varnish at the back
I hope you enjoyed!
and that will inspire you to make a nice Santa plate too!
(Or any other design!)
You can find an assortment of paper napkins in my shop.
I am going to try this with my daughter's artwork!
ReplyDeleteThank Marsha! We will be glad too see your plate when you'll be done!
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
why did u apply rice paper?
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteI applied rice paper for 2 reasons:
1) because otherwise the plate is too see through
2) to have a nice finish.
