"Fly Away" Decoupage Tray by Swati.

Morning!
Swati this side from Swati's Crafting World. Hope y'all are doing great.

When you've solid stunning MDF  trays, they do most of the heavy lifting for you, meaning it's not very hard to make them look nice. With just a little creativity & a few supplies, you can 
make wooden trays stand out to be the star. I love wooden trays because of their
 versatility. They're quintessential, can be used to serve food, as a centerpiece, to store things, 
or even to decorate wall, & the options are endless.

Today I'm gonna show you how to work with decoupage on a wooden tray. My today's post features -
Papericious - MDF Trays.
Papericious - Fly Away Decoupage Papers.
Papericious - Decoupage Glue.

ON TO MY CREATION :


STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL :

1. I've used sand paper & rubbed the corners of the tray properly so that the finishing comes out crisp & clean.

2. Then, I've painted the tray with acrylic white paint as a base coat. I did so because it helps in enhancing the colour done after.

3. When the acrylic paint has dried up, I've applied dark brown colour twice, so that colour comes out clean.

4. After the brown paint has dried up, I've applied a thin layer of Decoupage Glue, sticked the paper & smoothen it with a piece of sponge (in one direction) making sure no air bubbles trapped inside.
5. After the paper is totally dry, I've cut the extra paper with a craft knife.

6. Now. I've applied a generous coat of Decoupage Glue all over the piece in order to seal the paper & let it dry for minimum of two hours.

Tadda! Tray is ready to use.

WISH YOU & YOUR FAMILY A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS & A MERRY NEW YEAR.

Little Keepsake

Hello Everyone!

This side Neha! Hope you all are doing well.

Today I welcome you all on the Papericious blog to share a tutorial on how to make a little keepsake box for your friends/family using Decoupage Papers from Papericious and Cube MDF Box. You can keep your jewellery pieces and stationery or put some chocolates and gift it to someone with the same name initial. I have made this for my sister with her name initial.

Now look at some pictures:




STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL:

 1. Start by applying a layer of Gesso and let it dry for 15 minutes.

2. After gesso has dried, apply Papericious Chalk Paint - Turret to the inside part of the box. Apply two coats (because it is a light shade).

3. Moving onto outside of the box. Paint it with a Pearl Pink Chalk Paint. Similarly apply two coats of it also. 

4. Now it's time to apply Decoupage papers. Papericious has launched some beautiful decoupage papers with amazing prints. I have used Ephemera from their collection.

I started off by applying Decoupage Glue and pasting paper on smaller areas. This will not create bubbles in your decoupage.
5. I have fussy cut the flowers and butterfly and pasted to the lower part of the box using Decoupage glue.
6. Meanwhile the decoupage is drying, i have heat embossed the initial H with silver embossing powder and versamark ink.
7. Distress the edges of box with victorian velvet distress ink. 
    
8. Lastly paint the lower part of the box and put a coat of varnish and your box is ready. I have used some accessories to make it more decorative like corners and butterfly.

SUPPLIES USED:

That is all for today! I hope you are inspired by my project.

Waterfall Calendar - Tutorial


Hello everyone, this is Tanvi with my tutorial post for this month, showcasing the beautiful Fleur Fun paper pack.
 It is time to say good bye to 2018 & welcome another year. I love making my own calendars & sending them across to near & dear ones. Am sharing one such make for 2019 – a mini calendar cum note holder that you can carry on the go.
Before moving to the tutorial let me share a few pictures of the finished project -


I have used a mini envelope slider die on the cover & will use them to insert mini tags with names & the year.


.
This booklet measures 5x7” & holds a calendar on one side & on the other is a pocket insert and a sticky note pad. On the spine (inside) I have a pen holder too! No more digging in my bag for a pen now.



For the calendar pages I have made a waterfall insert.


TUTORIAL –

You will need chipboard, card stock & pattern papers trimmed to the following sizes –
Chipboard – 5x7” – 2 pieces & ¾ x7” – 1 piece
Pattern papers – 8x12” & 6 ¾ x 10 ¾” for the covers.



Attach the chipboard pieces to the cardstock. Make sure to maintain a 1/8" gap between the spine piece and the cover pieces of chipboard.  


Trim the cardstock corners at an angle and attach double-sided adhesive & Wrap the chipboard, also glue the pattern paper to the inside. This is how it will look. Gently fold the covers while scoring in the 1/8" gutter between the spine and the covers.    



Next we make the waterfall section. 
You will need –
Card stock - 11 x 4 ¼  “. Score along 11” side at 5 ½ & pattern paper – 5 3/8 x 4 1/8” – 2 pieces
 
Card stock – 4x4” - 6 pieces & pattern paper -  3  6/8 x 3 6/8" - 6 pieces
Card stock – 9 ½ x 3 7/8” score on the long side at 3 ¼ , 3 ½ , 3 ¾ , 4, 4 ¼ , 4 ½  & 4 ¾ “. Burnish all the folds. This will form the base of the waterfall mechanism. Lay it down with all the score lines to the right. Line up the first 4x4 piece along the second score line from the right. Continue gluing all the pieces with tacky tape.
For the sliding mechanism you will need a piece of cardstock - 1 x 7 ½ “ score at 1 ¾ & 5 ¾“      Wrap it around the other side of the waterfall & glue it about ½ “ from the edge. Next put tacky tape on the loose ends of this strip, line the waterfall to the fold of the 11x4 ¼ “ card stock. The waterfall insert is now ready. Print & Cut the calendar pages to size & glue.
 

Next we will need a piece of card stock 4x6” & pattern paper – 3 7/8x 5 7/8” for the pocket & 3 ½ x11” for the insert.



Here are some close ups of the project - 












Here is a flip through of the calendar - 

Hope this inspires you to make one for yourself. You can play around with the inserts & themes similarly to create your own unique organizers, planners or reminders. 

Happy & crafty 2019 friends, will be back in the New Year with some more crafty inspiration 😊
