Decoupage of a trayMaterials:A photograph of a person in profile, tracing paper, black and white paper, a plastic tray, PVA glue, acrylic varnish. Tools: Fiskars edge decorating punch, Fiskars corner decorating punch, white pencil, craft knife. Description of work: 1. Place a photograph of a person in profile in front of you, cover it with a sheet of tracing paper and trace the profile with a pen or pencil. 2. Cut out the image from the tracing paper with small scissors and, using a white pencil (you can take chalk or a piece of soap), transfer it as accurately as possible to the black paper. Cut out the silhouette. For this, it is better to use a craft knife rather than scissors. 3. Place the silhouette on a sheet of paper and draw an oval frame around it. Cut out the oval from the paper - this is the basis of the future frame. 4. Transfer the outline of the frame to a sheet of black paper. Draw another line 5 mm outside the made one - this will be the outer side of the frame. Make a swirl pattern on the inside at the top and bottom. Cut out the frame with a craft knife. 5. Using a special punch, perforate the edge of a sheet of black paper. Cut off the edge to make a strip. 6. Glue a sheet of white paper to the bottom of the tray (you can use PVA glue, diluted a little with water). Place the silhouette and oval frame in the center, and the black openwork frame along the edges. Glue the details. 7. Cut out small rectangles from black paper. Decorate the corner of each with a Fiskars punch. 8. Having rounded the corners, make squares from the rectangles and glue them to the tray. When the glue is completely dry, cover the bottom of the tray with 2-3 layers of acrylic varnish, letting each layer dry. Such a tray can be wiped with a damp cloth.

8By the way, the details cut out of black paper,It is good to decorate ready-made lamps. It is not necessary to use only photos of people, try using photos of pets. Also, the image of any object that does not look very good in the photo can be turned into an original silhouette. A lamp with a regular white or cream lampshade is suitable for work. The shape of the lampshade is not important. Using the idea of the master class, transfer the images to paper and cut them out. Attach the finished parts to the lampshade from the inside with double-sided tape or "plant" them with glue. When you turn on the light, graceful silhouettes will appear on the lampshade. You can decorate a large candlestick in the same way by pasting paper over the glass and placing cut out silhouettes between the glass and the paper.
An interesting design idea is “portrait inantique frame". To create it, in addition to the finished frame, you will need an old yellowed letter (or its imitation), a portrait of a woman in profile, thick chocolate-colored paper and a sheet of tracing paper. Cut out the silhouette with a sharp mock-up knife (see the description of the work), then use not the cut out part, but a sheet of paper with a "stencil". Place a sheet of paper with text under the "stencil". Read on:
