Pratyusha here with a new blog post, Hope you all are enjoying the festive season.
Well as the festivities are absolutely on my mind, I decided to create something peppy for this month’s blog post. No Doubts, a lot of guests come over home during this time of the year, so the idea of making a bright and colorful serving tray blown my mind. So, I picked up my all time favorite Vintage Blooms of Bob n Betty and there you go……
Here is the procedure I followed:
Select a pattern paper you like from. Cut it to fit the tray you choose.
Apply gesso onto the tray surface and let dry between coats. Give at least 2 coats of gesso.
3. Apply a layer of Decoupage glue over the tray surface and stick the cut pattern paper in place and let dry. 4. Select paints that go with your pattern paper and paint the tray accordingly. I used acrylic paints and Tim Holtz distress paints to get the vintage effect. Let it dry. 5 Once dried, I used Tim Holtz script stamp and Stazon black ink to randomly stamp all over the tray. 6. Used one-step crackle paint from Tim Holtz over the pattern paper and let dry till the cracks were formed.
7. Gave highlights with Viva Decor Inka gold- Gold paint.
8. To finish and seal the project I used Asian Paints wood varnish!!!
Hope I’ve been able to inspire you to create something for your home.
This was the 2nd plaque that the same customer has ordered for and the only requirement he had was- it has to be colourful and please don't use black colour.
This will always remain one of those challenging projects that I did... that I will always remember. Coz I finished it in a weeks time. I took my own sweet time to finish each letter and I think the end result was worth all the time that I took to finish the project!!!
So yet again this will be a pic loaded post so rest back and continue :) As of now You must know all the steps that I work through...
Selection of font, printing on thick card- chose white this time. cutting out of the letters and initial outlining with white quilling stips... I used 5 quilling strips to finish the outline... And this took me 30 mins to finish.
The hardest part began when I started off with the filling of the letters...U can see the series of pics when the work was in progress. I chose to use colours that would be soothing and wanted a kind of gradient look.
I took nearly 4-5 hrs to quill each letter... my slowest work ever I guess :P
My mom used to peep in every now and then to check the progress of the work :) even she will accept that this is one of those projects where I used up all my brain power :P
Finally I finished the project... and was pretty happy abt the way it turned out. Sent out the pic of the same to the customer. The customer was elated and now just wanted a few flowers to be added...
As the customer requested we put in flowers( tulips). I really like the tendrils :)
Added the tulip buds and then gave them a touch of viva decor gold.
The completed final project :)
Linking this upto
1) Colour conceptions challenge- Anything but cards- this is a personalosed plaque measuring 17*7.5 inches.
2) Pinque Peacock challenges- #4 Flowers- used tulips- full bloomed and buds!!!
This has been a long pending tutorial for almost 3 years now.
When I first made this in 2011 I had a lot of the crafters asking me for a tutorial but as I was in my 3rd year BDS at that time I couldn't find the time to share the tutorial as the steps involved couldn't be photographed properly. But now as I have a lot of free time waiting for my PGCET results I got the time that this tutorial deserved.
This is my first video tutorial so pls be patient with my talking :P :D
I will be putting in pics where ever I can but photographing a few steps was difficult so will be writing about the steps instead.
Hope you enjoy the tutorial.
Adding a picture tutorial as well, But some steps can be better understood in the video.
A)Cutting of the top of the can- Use the jumbo
cutter to cut the top of the can. Cut 2 cans in this way.
B)Cutting of the can into strips
a.Can 1--- Mark 1cm using a ruler and marker all
over the diameter of the can and taking these marks cut the can into strips.
b.Can 2--- Mark 2mm using a ruler and marker all
over the diameter of the can and taking these marks cut the can into strips.
Step 2----- Rolling of the strips
Can 1----Take one strip and bend it outwards forming a 90
degree angle to the can, then using the
needle to curve up the end of the same strip and roll it towards the center. Continue
the same procedure for the rest of the strips. Once done with all the strips
you can keep adjusting the strips to be on the level.
Can 2- First flatten the strips by pushing all the strips
downwards using your palm. Alter flattening push each strip into the slot in
the slotted tool and roll towards the center. Continue to do all the strips.
Step 3- Sticking of the cans
Apply fevibond to the bases of the cans and wait for approx.
2 mins and then press them together. At this step If u see any irregualrities
in the Can 2- u can manipulate it with your fingers.
Final Product!!!
Depending on what cans you choose to do the project... Your end results will vary!!!
