Tea Time DIY

Hello My Crafty Friends,


I am back with another project with Papericious Pre marked MDF bases and chalk paints.

A cup of tea shared with a loved one is happiness tasted and time well spent . So today’s project is a quick DIY to beautify your tea tray.

For today’s project I used premarked Mdf base – kettle . I started with priming my mdf base using the chalk paint Natural white . Once it dried, i added colours Tangerine yellow, Fuchsia, Peacock Blue , Brink Pink and Icy Fresh.

I added 2 coats of paint. These chalk paints are really amazing and a must try. I love the texture of these paints when they dry up and all the colours are amazing .

Once the colours dried up I added the word Positivi-tea using my white marker.

Then using my hot glue gun i glued this premarked mdf Kettle on the tea bag holder and kept it in my tea tray. Serve tea with style and Positivi- tea.

 

Can’t believe it was so easy to make and it came out soo beautiful. These Premarked bases made my life so easy and crafting fun.

I will be back soon with another project soon.

Until then

Happy Crafting

Easy MDF Coasters

Hi Everyone,

Let's come out of this fear of using resin. I have come up with simple and easy project of creating Coasters using MDF Base & Resin. But before that we need to do some preparations and grab some art material that's required.

Preparations Required

  1. Prepare your workstation - I use a flat Lay water resistant background which can be easily wiped off.
  2. Gloves - Always wear gloves while working with resin . I prefer Nitrile gloves when handling resin . You can also use surgical gloves . Never do any of your resin projects with bare hands, as it can cause serious skin infections.
  3. Respirator- Always use a respirator while working with the resin specially when you blow torch over it.
  4. Plastic/Silicon cups & popsicle sticks - You need some measuring cups and popsicle sticks to pour your resin into. You can also use disposable cups and wooden popsicle sticks.
  5. Weighing scale – Always measure your resin in the proportions mentioned on the resin bottles. Never mix your resin by approximation as it will lead to failure of your project. Try to be as exact as you can with Resin & Hardener ratio.
  6. Blow Torch - You need a blow torch to get rid of the bubbles in the resin.

Art Supplies Required

  1. Resin Part A and Part B
  2. Deco paper
  3. MDF Coaster Bases
  4. Glue

Let's start with our coasters. First, with the help of scissors, cut the deco paper as per the size of MDF coaster base. I have taken Papericious deco paper & MDF coaster bases of 4" diameter.

Then, I used soft acrylic glue to stick the deco paper on the MDF base and let it dry for 10 mins.

In the meantime, I mixed papericious resin part A:B in the ratio 20:10 grams (as mentioned on the bottle) in a plastic cup using a popsicle stick for about 10 minutes.  Slowly moving the popsicle stick for mixing to avoid bubbles in the resin. After mixing the resin I leave the resin for 5-7 minutes so the bubbles in the resin settle themselves. Once it's done, I applied a thin layer of resin on the coasters using a popsicle stick and let it dry for minimum of 12 hours. Once dried, I Applied another thin layer of resin and again let it dry for another 12 hours.

Tadaa your coasters are ready.!!! 





All art supplies used in this project are from Papericious. Will be coming up with more super easy projects using Resin & Alcohol inks. Till then try this project and share on your social media accounts by tagging me & using my hashtag #prackriticreations.

Looking forward to your projects :)


Keep growing & keep glowing ;)
Lots of Love

DIY File Holder

Hi lovely people, 
Today I will be sharing with you an easy tutorial on making a file holder featuring my favorite set of Papericious pattern papers. 
I have made two sizes of file holders to keep my 12"x 12" and 6"x 6"  pattern papers all organised and sorted.
Making these was on my list for sometime now.So lets start with the tutorial.
I have taken corrugated sheet(from old packaging) and cut them to sizes which fits in 12x12" and 6x6" papers easily.
Large File Holder: 2 pcs (13" x 11.5 "); 1 pc (13"x 4"); 1 pc (11.5"x 4")
 Small File Holder: 2 pcs (7" x 3.5"); 1 pc ( 8.5"x 7"); 1 pc (7" x 3.5")
For getting all the sides together I have used painters tape, you can also use got glue gun to adhere all the sides in place. 


 I have painted the edges of the corrugated sheet using the country grey chalk paint (Large file holder). This is how it looks when taped.





I have painted the edges with  brick red chalk paint (small file holder).
Next step took Azalein paper pack and trimmed papers to respective sides (approx. 1cm smaller).

 For the smaller file holder I have used the Ethereal paper pack and trimmed the pattern paper (approx. 1cm smaller).


I have embellished the file holder with some fussy cut images and flowers and lace.




That's all from my side.
Hope the easy tutorial inspired you to create one for yourself.

Vellum Paper Lantern

Hi lovely people,
There is a new release from Papericious and believe me its a must have in your craft cart. 
I am talking of the clear embossing powder and the vellum sheet by Papericious. 
I would be sharing with you an easy DIY home decor project using the new release. 
Lets move on the tutorial..
I made vellum paper lantern by heat embossing the pattern on to the vellum sheet.
First stamp the chosen image using the versamark embossing ink and heat embossed using the Papericious clear embossing powder. I am truly impressed by how quick this powder melts and since its superfine, the Papericious embossing powder is even good for very intricate designs. 
Here I have used a large background stamp for creating the panels of the lantern. After the embossing the image I have used Zig clean clear markers to mask the negative space left in the design by giving a wash of three shades black,grey and blue.Use dark shades of colors as it would work as silhouette once the light passes through.  
For the frame of the lantern I have cut 4 identical pieces from chipboard/mountboard(6.5 inch x 4.5 inch with 4.5 inch x 3.5 inch window). 

 Next punch equidistant holes on both edges of each panel frame, we would we using paper cord to tie the panel to each other. You can also use narrow ribbons/jute cord to tie the panels.
Now cut the heat embossed vellum sheet a little bigger than the size of the window and using a two way tape adhere it to the frame.
After all the panels are ready I used the paper cord to weave a cross between each hole on two panels. Repeat the process to put all the panels together. And there you are with vellum lantern. 

  
 And here it looks when complete.
 And with LED lights inside.
 Another project I made is using the Papericious white chippis The range has some very pretty and intricate designs. I created this quick note card holder. Have used the Ethereal paper pack. The little holder  holds small cards. This can be perfect gift to your family,friends or colleagues with some positive thoughts inside.






Hope you liked both the projects. Do leave some love below.
Keep crafting

Decoupage on MDF box

 Hi friends,
Welcome to this blog post and today and we are gonna play with the gorgeous Papericious Decoupage Papers which were released in September 2017. The papers are perfectly coordinated and extremely vibrant and gorgeous. They come in two sizes 6"x6" and 8"x8"which makes it perfect for smaller projects too without causing any wastage. 

The Special decoupage glue is my new best friend as it is glossy and gives us enough time to position the paper and once decided sticks it forever. It is also available in two packages and you can pick any.

For today's project I also used the White Crackle paste and it is stunning! I love the gorgeous cracks on my project and here is a close up shot for you. Isn't it beautiful!!!


So I took an old MDF box and decided to amp it up using the decoupage papers. I cleaned the box nicely and prepared it for priming. I love the Papericious white gesso and covered the box from inside as well as outside. I allowed it to dry completely.





For the next step I added a lot of Papericious crackle paste and I will highly recommend it if you wish to get the most beautiful crackle effect on your mixed media projects or decoupage projects...


 Next I added a brown stain all over the box so that I get a more vintage aged effect as the stain seeps in the cracks and a gorgeous effect is created .



I used my super sharp pair of scissors to cut around the flower cluster and that will go on top of the box. I have used a 6"x6" paper here.


I adhered the paper patch using the amazing Papericious Decoupage glue and that finished the project. The box is a gorgeous piece of art which can hold your jewellery or can be gifted to someone with chocolates filled in it.





I hope you liked this decoupage project and do check out all the other wonderful project my team mates have created for you. I am sure you will love working with the Papers and art mediums launched by Papericious.
See you soon
take care
love
