Decoupage knife stands.

in hive-109427 •  2 years ago 

Decoupage of household items is a nice opportunity to give a second life to old pantry items and a good way to add some emotion and personal touch.
In this master class, we will look at a very simple way to decoupage a knife stand, which any beginner can handle. The process is quite exciting and will take no more than one evening.

Materials

Prepare the materials necessary for decoupage:

  1. Stand for knives.
  2. Acrylic paints (white and black).
  3. Sponge.
  4. Napkin for decoupage.
  5. Glue for decoupage.
  6. Brush.
  7. Acrylic varnish.

Manufacturing process:

Take an ordinary wooden knife holder, white acrylic paint and a sponge (it is better to cut off a small part of the sponge). Before you start painting, make sure that the surface of the stand is dry and clean.

Dip a sponge lightly in the white paint and paint all sides of the knife holder in dotted motions. Instead of acrylic paint, you can paint with white acrylic primer.

Paint the recess for the scissors with a brush (as well as other areas inaccessible to the sponge).

Leave to dry for 30-40 minutes when all sides of the stand are painted.

Acrylic paints of different brands do not have the same hiding power, so before working with napkins, make sure that the background color is uniform and well painted over. If the color isn't good enough, paint the knife holder with a second coat.

Choose a napkin or decoupage card with a suitable pattern. Try a few options.

If you plan to use only fragments of a decoupage card or napkin, then it is better to choose those that have a light (and preferably white) background. This is important so that after gluing the fragment there is no sharp color transition.
Tear off or cut off the desired parts of the pattern from the napkin. The border will be smoother and more beautiful if the fragment is carefully torn off. But in our case, the background of the napkin is too colorful, and the height is not enough to tear off fragments. In such cases, it is better to simply cut out the necessary fragments.

Decoupage napkins have 3 layers. Before gluing, be sure to peel off the top layer of the napkin. Only one paint layer is needed to work.

Attach a fragment of the pattern to the knife stand and stick with a flat brush and decoupage glue.

The correct direction of application of glue is from the center to the edges.

Glue all the selected fragments on different sides of the knife holder and leave to dry for 20-30 minutes.

Lightly dip the edges of the stand with a sponge and dark acrylic paint if the edges of the drawings are too distinct. And to make the drawing stand out less from the white background, apply a little white paint to the old toothbrush and spray randomly on the sides of the stand.

After complete drying, apply acrylic varnish with a brush and leave to dry for another 40 minutes.

The knife holder has been updated and is completely ready for its intended use.
