Upcycled Gift Hamper Tray

  Hello friends,

Hope you are doing good and ready for a wonderful weekend! This is Priti here, and I am so excited to share another beautiful inspiration with you using the Decoupage papers and Decoupage mediums from Papericious
You don't need expensive supplies to glam up your gifting. I had this mdf tray with me which I had received as a Diwali gift hamper last year. I thought that it would be so wonderful to upcycle it and use it as a home decor piece or as a gift hamper tray for my gifting needs. So I grabbed a beautiful floral Decoupage Paper from Papericious, their glue and varnish and some paints, and converted this raw mdf tray into a beautiful piece of art.

I have fallen in love with the Papericious Decoupage Glue. It is absolutely amazing and gives such a wonderful finish. I did some stenciling on all the corners and added clay embellishments on the two sides of the tray to make it even more attractive. The edges were done using an antique gold wax from my stash which matched with the colour of the leaves in this beautiful Decoupage paper.

 These Papericious Decoupage Papers are so gorgeous and you can use them in so many different ways and on any kind of base. As a sealer, I have used two coats of the Papericious Matte Varnish which gives the projects such a nice matte finish.



Supplies Used:


I am super happy with the result of this upcycled project and cant wait to gift this tray to someone special. I think I might use it to pack some wonderful goodies for my mom on the occasion of Mothers Day this Sunday. I really hope you liked the transformation of this tray and will leave me some love. Have a great weekend!

Love,
Priti

Buddha Wall Frame

 Hello friends,

Hope you are doing great and having a beautiful day! This is Priti here, and I am so thrilled to be back in the Papericious design team. I will be sharing some beautiful decoupage projects with the Mdf bases, Decoupage papers and Decoupage mediums from Papericious. 
Today, I have this wonderful piece of art on the blog - a Buddha wall frame, which is sure to bring a lot of positive vibes.

This is such an amazing base. I totally love the design and this hand carved frame. I am sure that it will look as beautiful with any design of decoupage paper.

I first cut the Buddha printed decoupage paper after drawing an outline of the frame. I made sure that the placement was right and I got the design exactly as I wanted. The best part is that these A4 size Papericious Decoupage Papers are of perfect size for this base. I primed the base with white gesso and then used the Papericious Decoupage Glue to paste the decoupage paper on the base. As a sealer, I have used the Papericious Gloss Varnish which gives this project such a nice finish.


The outer frame is coloured with Dark brown chalk paint and then I have dry brushed gold chalk paint and some art waxes to get his beautiful vintage look. 


Supplies Used:


I really enjoyed making this wall panel and I hope I have inspired you to create one for your home too. It's an easy and super quick diy project which you can make with minimal supplies. I would love to know if you liked this home decor piece. See you soon.

Love,
Priti



Set of Royal Wooden Wall Plate & Up-Cycled Lamp

 Hello Everyone, today I am on the Papericious blog to share with you a set of up-cycled bottle lamp and decoupage wall decor I created using amazing  Decoupage papers by Papericious.

I created the wall plate using amazing MDF bases which have smooth and perfect finish.This royal wall plate handcrafted to perfection will add warmth to any corner of your home.It goes well with modern/ethnic/boho decor.

SUPPLIES NEEDED

  • Round 8" decoupage base 
  • Decoupage Paper
  • Decoupage Glue
  • Varnish
  • Various shades of chalk paints
  • Scissors
  • Sanding Block
  • Drill Machine 
  • Empty wine bottle
  • Bulb holder and bulb
  • Electric wire
I started with a vision for making a wall plate which can be used as table decor as well.
 First I used the chalk paint " Sheep Skin" as base coat and then I used the Papericious decoupage glue for sticking the decoupage paper on the base. 
                                               
Further I sanded the extra paper off the MDF base and shaded the edges of the plate using coordinating colors.Finally I sealed my project with  Papericious Varnish
You aren’t going to believe how easy this is, there are minimal ingredients and steps and you really can’t mess this up. I am happy with the final result and enjoyed the work so much so that, I can foresee additional pieces in my future. This is a great beginner craft, even if you’ve never done anything creative before. This plate makes an  ideal gift for yourself or your loved ones during the festive season/house-warming/anniversary/wedding. As I said, if you are a beginner, you should try this project. You’ll love it and because there isn’t much too it, wrinkles are easy to avoid. I hope you like what I have created. 

For making lamp first I cleaned my bottle using alcohol swab to remove any stickiness. Then I drilled a hole in the bottle for inserting wire.     

Later this beautiful, up-cycled bottle was hand painted in white color. Then it was decorated with a decoupage technique, using this gorgeous,butterfly decoupage paper. I pasted the paper using Decoupage Glue .To add shabby chic, aged kind of look I distressed the bottle and added splashes of colors on it. Outside of the bottle is varnished for durability using Papericious Varnish . I  inserted wire and attached a bulb holder and I finished it off with a lamp shade on top. It creates unique, decorative centerpiece that brightens up your decor with this simple yet elegant country style accent.

                               

I really enjoyed creating this lamp which makes a great gift as well. So, what are you waiting for? Pick up any empty wine bottle and decorate any space in your home or office with this beautiful bottle lamp.

Camp Memories ft. Papericious Woodland Walk


 Hello Friends!
Greetings for the day!
This is Parita Galani, here today with tutorial post featuring Papericious New Release - Woodland Walk. I hope all of you are in good health and had an amazing festive time. 
 
This dreamy and fun paper pack made me nostalgic about my childhood camping trips, so I have made a Memory Box - Camp Memories to preserve those memories beautifully. If you have basic crafting tools and adhesive you will only need MDF box, Woodland Walk Paper Pack and its matching Cut & Create Embellishment Sheets. Instead of MDF Box you can use any good quality box you already have and reuse it. 


So let's have a look at my project and its Step by Step Tutorial - Camp Memories

Step 1 - I have taken Papericious MDF Box for the base, painted it whole inside out in shade of greenish blue Chalk Paint.
Step 2 - I took 3 design papers from Woodland Walk Collection, one for the top and other two for the base and top of inside the box. I have trimmed the paper according to the exact size of my box. I have placed the papers with the help of Decoupage Glue.

Step 3 - I took out various fussy cut elements from the Paper Pack and Cut & Create Embellishment Sheets. I arranged and placed the fussy cut elements with the help of glue.
Step 4 - I also pasted some cute fussy cut elements on the top of inside of the box as shown below.
Step 5 - Lastly I varnished the complete box with Matte Finish Varnish. Tada! The box is ready to preserve memories more beautifully. You can put in photographs, any objects, souvenirs absolutely anything of your choice which takes you back to that memory lane.

Supplies Used:



I hope you guys liked my tutorial post and will surely craft one to preserve your special memories.
Keep Crafting!
Best Regards,
Parita K Galani
