Decoupage Alters - Peacock in a starry night

Hello friends!
Hope you are having a great day! It is Teacher's day today and I wish all the teachers out there a very happy teachers' day.

I still wish I can go back to school or college and life the simple life with only studies to worry about! Sigh! Gone are those days!!

Coming back here!, today I ought to be sharing some cards for my teachers (which I will post soon) but I am sharing a decoupage upcycle project that I recently did.

I had this amazing papers from Bob and Betty and the designs were just exquisite that I refused using them up for a long time. But then the perfect opportunity came along and I found the perfect object to alter. It was a glass bottle with a  flip stopper cap. Here is how it looks altered from a plain glass bottle version...

Steps to achieve this effect:

• Sand your bottle down with fine grit sand paper so that the Gesso/primer adheres better.
• Apply several coats of white acrylic paint/spray paint/gesso to give a base coat. I had good coverage with Gesso. 
• Next, apply the design you want with a Decoupage Glue. Here I have used ModPodge to adhere the peacock design onto the bottle. 
• Once adhered, make sure there are no air bubbles between the paper and object and give a couple of coats of ModPodge on top of the paper. 
• Paint the rest of the bottle with desired colors. I have gone for a night sky effect with blues and black hues with a starry effect. 
• For added interest, you can add some stamping as well. I have used kaiser-craft script stamp to give a slightly vintage effect.

Let me know what you feel fellas!

Decoupage Organiser Caddy

Hey fellas!!!
I am posting after a really long time. I have been too held up with work and home stuff that I couldn't get some me crafting time. But hope to rectify this soon enough!

Today I have a decoupage organizer for you. Here are the pics first.

Th caddy is from Craftslane and they have some wonderful products. I painted the base with gesso and applied some beautiful tissue napkins on it. I have distressed the edges and napkin by going over with matching colors and painting the insides with acrylics.

Finally, I have given a couple fo coats of varnish to protect it from water.

Let me know how you like it in the commets!

Decoupage Pen stand: #reusewithkrafttime Day 29

Hey there fellas!
I am continuing my experiments with decoupage today and I have taken a wooden MDF pen stand for this purpose. The piece is from Itsy Bitsy and quite good to hold your stationery.

Here it is first for you!

I gave a coat of Camlin texture white for the base and left to dry between multiple coats. Then I took this pretty decoupage napkin from Itsy Bitsy too and removed the underneath layers. I have used mod podge for the binding of the stand and the napkins.
After covering the stand, I took twine and wrapped the top portion of the stand to an extent and colored it in pastel pink acrylic paint.

Once this was done, I thought to leave it plain, but these beautiful roses caught my eyes, I removed the layers of the flowers and arranged them in an open fashion and stamped few leaves from he itsy Bitsy stamp set, colored them nd fuzzy cut them nd arranged altogether.

Let me know how you like this fellas!

Supplies:
Camlin Texture White

Decoupage trinket box - #ReusewithKrafttime Day 25

Hey there,
A quick post the day. I am trying out decoupage more confidently the past few days. I took a wooden trinket box from Itsy Bits to work on. It is a small one so I was more confident on not ruining it :)
Here it is first!

The tissues are from Itsy Bitsy too. I first applied a coat of Camlin Texture White and adhered the napkins using mod podge. After several coats between drying time. I applied a coat of clear varnish to seal it.

Punchcraft earrings #ReusewithKrafttime Day 19

Hey there crafty folks!

Hope you are all doing great :) I am here with another post in my jewelry series.
Here it is first :)

For this set, I took a antique looking tube that had provisions for hangings. I have chosen a yellow and black combination and had a similar thread dori in my stash that was just perfect for this.  For the hangings I attached some yellow beads to match the scheme.

For the earring sI had this beautiful pattern paper in right shades with damask pattern. I punched out one inch circles and prepared with base with eye pins on both ends. Once the base was prepared I gave several base coats of modpodge and then sealed with resin. I finished it with some beads and a stud.

So go ahead and use up your pretty pattern paper scraps into jewellery :)

Let me know what you think of this guys!

Decoupage jewellery #ReusewithKrafttime Day 18

Hey there! Yet another day to use up your stash here!
I am having few decoupage napkins that I wanted to try on altered boxes but my first attempt was so disastrous that it has been left to stay silent. But I took it up to try again and wanted to work on a small surface so that I don't go wrong much.

Here it is first :)

I prepared a base of 2 inch circle die cuts and got it ready with a eye pin and gave it wash of texture white. Then I cut out some pretty flowers and arranged it on the base. Added some handpainted flowers and highlights and applied generous coats of modpodge between time to dry. I finished the base with some ball chains  I have strung it on a chain with pink stone beads that look just right with this :). I have waterproofed it with resin and I just love the feel of it.
For the earring I followed the same procedure on a pair of white junkas and added a cool stud with matching rhinestones.
