Decoupage Art

1. About The Class: Hello friends. My name is Maureen is Anna, and I am an acrylic artist, bust for four-and-a-half years. I've been painting acrylic painting, especially landscapes. And I'm also an ID and junior and had worked for many MNCs in India more than a decade. Now, pursuing my passion as a profession. So as a part of my creative journey, I talked to share my knowledge of artwork to those people. What you do. This will help the new learners to learn different media and the whole class will be divided into steps by steps when which I will be discussing about the entire scenario, whether it is materials or techniques. In this class, we will be creating these beautiful pouches. That is the teacup page art, which we'll be creating. One of them which we, I'll be showing you, that you can also use as accessories bag or as your bags. And I am sure you will love these. So this is the bag which I'll be teaching. And these are some more which I have done in the past. So I hope you will enjoy these craft work. Looking forward to share my knowledge and skills with you guys. You will love it. Happy learning. Thank you. 2. Materials Required: Hello friends. Now, let's discuss about the materials which we'll be using for creating this nice pouch, the coverage. So first, this is the one which I have already done. So same we'll be doing but with different napkin. So this is the jute bag which I'm using. You can say the canvas bag or switch like a canvas clot only jute bag, which I'm using here. And this is the napkin which I'll be placing on that jute bags. That is the jute pouch, actually the scissors which we'll be using or cutting. This is the butter paper, whichever wrapped in the cardboard. And it has exact the same shape as that of the bag, the pouch, so that I can put it inside. And then I'll be doing the whole glowing parts so that it doesn't stick to it. And then again, the butter paper, extra butter paper, I'll be needing some amount of water also. This glass palette. Apart from that, we'll be needing this one niche to apply it on the final code. Then the mod podge for blowing and some of the brushes for applying the mod podge. These are the entire materials that we'll be using for creating this nice beach ball and also this iron also will be using if you have small island, you can use smaller in also, but this is the normal iron. So let's start. 3. Applying Mod Podge: Hello friends, welcome back. So now let's start with our first part. That is, this is the cut-out which I've already prepared. You can also do it the same vein, and I've just wrapped it with the butter paper so that it doesn't stick. And it's so flexible so that I can fit it inside the bag. You have to cut it in that shape. You can use these silicon plates also inside. We just want that the glue doesn't stick to the other sides. That's what we're trying to do. So you can create the same shape of it. And you can just add just inside that bag so that when we apply the glue, both the cloths does not stick to it. So this is the whole scenario regarding putting this whole thing. Now. Just try to put it in the each corners. So now once we are done with this, we'll be using our glass palette and mod podge for applying the glue. And this is the brush which normal synthetic brush which I'm using here. So just take out the mod podge, take out quite a lot amount so that you can even apply all over the entire area. Just taking the raw without adding any water to it, just take the row mod podge and just apply. And the entire area first tried to apply on the edges where the line of these stitches are and apply it evenly all over this whole pouch so that when you stick the napkin, it becomes even. So you have to apply it evenly, not like randomly, you have to apply it in one direction and in evenly. So similarly, we will be doing at least two coats of this mod podge. So this is the first code. So once we are done with this first code, we will leave it to dry. It takes around one or two dry. If you are living in like when cold areas. But if you are living in what areas, I think it will dry soon. So you have to leave it or you can do it with a dryer if you want to do it firstly, you can just try this whole gloating, wetter drier. And once we are done with the first code, we need to apply the second good. But for applying the second code, the first code has to be dried off completely. And then only you can apply the second code. So you can see how nicely and evenly I'm trying to do this. And I'm applying the code on the entire this pouch. Like we do paintings. That's what I'm doing over here. I'm just painting it in one direction. So I have taken this jute bag and I'm just applying this entire thing. And i 0 mod podge over this pouch. This is, I'm doing on a bag, but you can also do it on a cardboard or on Canvas, or on a wooden box, anything, or on a big bag or a tote bag, anything, whichever you want to do, what you can do it is just this is just what does this just one pouch bag which I'm showing you how to do the checkout page, but you can do it on any material. Do it very patiently and gently and make sure to apply it in all the corners. Because that is the most important thing that the corners are glued nicely, then only that page will, that napkin will stick to it. So tried to apply on all the corners very nicely and evenly. You can see I'm applying on the corners, on the, all the corners. First I've applied on the upper part and now I'm applying on this side and on the lower part of the corner. So try to apply it very evenly and all the corners. And finally we are done with the first coating of it and we leave it to dry. And then after the drying, once it has dried up, we'll again apply the second coat of the same glue that is the same mod podge on this canvas. So you can see it's finally done and you can see it's so even from all the sides. So like you do painting, you have to do mod podge on it. So I leave it to dry. 4. Applying Napkin: So now in the meantime, I have left that pouch to dry. So this is not dry yet, so this is the another pod. So first I'll cut the napkin in the size of the pouch. So this is a napkin which I'll be using here. So let's start with the budding. I'll just take out the entire napkin and see what size I need to cut. So I leave the part which has a napkin which as dot areas and just using the middle part of the napkin, I'm leaving those areas. So just using this middle part of the napkin and I'll cut it in the same size so that my scissor, I'm just taking that size of this pouch and I'll just market the areas where I need to cut the napkin just by folding it. And then I've just got it with the scissors. You can use any design, any napkin, whatever you want. You can do it on your pouch, you can do it on your boxes, cardboard boxes, or you have any lake trunk which is very like snot in good shape. You can also do decor page on that also. So this is just one thing which I'm showing. One type of the cow page, which I'm showing there are many types, most of them do on stones also. So there are different, different on, also on glass bottles. You can see I've just cut it and I'm just removing that dot portion area which all the napkins have that side portion. So I'm just cutting that out. This side also. I'm just cutting that portion because I don't want that portion on my bag to reflect. Now once we are done with the cutting part, so every napkin has three layers. So we'll remove the two layers and the third layer will be just putting, placing on the bag. Let's remove all the two layers. So you can see there are three layers. First layer I'm removing very gently. You need to remove that layer. Can see, again, there's one more layer which I'm trying to remove. So you can see there's one more layer which slowly removing with my nail. You can see how thin the paper is. Define a napkin and that we will be placing on that pouch. So likewise, you have to remove all the three layers from your napkin, whichever napkin you are using. And this is it. Now, let's see our bag. So now we will be applying the second layer on it. So this is completely dried. And now we will apply the second code like we used earlier. So that brush I'm not using because it is still wet, so I'm using another brush. That's why I kept to three brushes in handy so that if one brush is wet, I can use the other one. So you can see I'm applying the second layer onto it. So I'll try to just do it quickly and fast-forward it because you know how to do how to apply the mod podge on the entire thing. And once we are done with the second layer will leave it to dry. Once it is dry it up, then we will apply that napkin on to it. I'm just applying the second layer. And once this layer has been applied, we will leave it to dry. It almost take one or 30 min to dry, so you need to dry it completely to not be sticky when you touch that mod podge thing, it should not be sticky. It should be completely dried. So I'm just applying it quickly. We can see it has done. So now this is completely dried. I can touch it and there's nothing coming onto my hand. And now we will be using this napkin and we'll just place the napkin on this pouch. Tried to use the straight line which is there on the napkin. Plays it exactly on that place. Then just slightly press it nicely. And then use that butter paper which and try to double the butter paper and then place it on this napkin nicely. And after that we will be applying, will be ironing on that. So try to place it very straight and nice and smooth. Then just heated iron a little bit, not much, and then just apply it onto it. Very gently. Apply this so that the glue metals and that napkin sticks to it. And you can see how nicely it sticks to it. I'm using here the butter paper because showed that napkin doesn't stick to this part of paper. So you need to be very careful to check that all the corners are stacked properly. You have to press it nicely. Not so hard, but present nicely so that all the corners and every each and every corner of the pouch is stacked properly. So that's what I'm checking for. It is tagged or not. So just like we do ironing, you have to do ironing on this bag also. Once the whole thing, whole corners have been nicely glued. You can remove the buttock paper. So you can see, I'm just checking if it is glued or not. And you can see how nicely this has come up. Very neat. And the extras we'll remove by cutting it. So just pressing it one more time. And finally, we are done with this pressing bar. And then we'll remove the extra paper, extra napkin paper, which is all all the sides, will remove and we'll cut out so we can see it gets tagged on that bag because that bag had clued little bit. So you need to put the exact exact glue all around the pouch. And the paper also should be on that. 5. Final Touch: So now you can see this, it's perfectly glued and perfectly fixed. Now what we need to do is we need to remove the extras which are on the sides. First, I will cut the extras with the scissors, which are big and the small ones we will try to stick. And we can also cut the extras with water, like applying water on your brush and just removing those. I'll show you that also. Let's just first, let's cut this extra on all the sides. Once this is done like that, also small, small cutouts which are on the sides. So what you can do is you can just take the brush, your wet brush, and just apply a very little amount of water on your brush. And just try to remove the corners. Because these are very thin paper. So just putting the water, you can easily remove the extra papers from the sides. Just by pressing it. You can see how I'm how I'm just removing the extra papers with my wet brush. So this is how you need to do it with your wet brush and just try to remove the extras from the sides. Once you are done with the entire these, removing the extra part, we'll again apply another coat of mod podge on this page art. So let's take the mod podge and then start applying the layer. So just applying this again, one more normal layer of mod podge on the entire does napkin so that it is perfectly fixed so that it is not removed and also applying, tried to apply it on the edge and that it is nicely glued over the entire edge and it is fixed properly. First apply over the entire corners and edges and then put the mod podge, apply the mod podge on the upper area so that you can see I'm just fixing the corners. I'm just applying on the corners. So that does nicely glued. Because the coordinates has to be done properly then only the entire look. Welcome. Just with your brush. Apply the glue and press this part to the other side. Similarly, you need to do the other sides also. So all the three sides to have to apply the glue and just press that napkin on the other side of the bag. That extra part. Once this glue you have applied on the corners, then applied evenly on the entire upper surface. Same. We have to do like we did the other mod, mod podge glue application. Same way we need to do this also. And after applying this, we need to leverage, leave it. And once it is dry it off, then we'll do the next part. So every time when you are applying the mod podge, you have to leave it to dry. And then again, you have to do the next part. You have to wait for the mod podge to dry. You can see I'm applying on the entire this area where I have applied this napkin, where I've pasted this napkin. You can use this bag as jewelry pouch or as painting bag or any accessories bag or you can give to your loved ones is really very well. It looks very cute and very trendy. You can see. It looks very nice actually. And especially when you are giving something hadn't been to your loved ones, It's like a blessing. So just applying the entire mod podge all over this surface area and we leave it to dry. So finally, we're done. But this beautiful pouch, the cabbage art. So now let's wait for it to dry and then we'll apply the varnish. So you can see it's dried completely. I can touch it and I can feel it. It's not sticky. So let's apply the liquid techs, satin varnish on this so that it becomes like shiny and protective. Also. Just applying a little bit of varnish. This is this satin varnish from liquid x which I'm applying over. You. Just apply it all over the entire area and leave it to dry. And you will see, once it is dry it off, you can see how nice this bag looks, how nice and beautiful this bag looks. So we leave it to dry. Just done with the varnishing. You can see how nicely it's already looking. So finally, our pouches ready. So this is the one which we have done. And you can see how nice does looking. And this is one more which I've done in black. So these are the pouches. Thank you.
