Ekaterina Lebedeva, director and ideologicalthe inspirer of the needlework gallery Nezabudka, offers a small author's master class on making toys on a Christmas tree using velvet powder. You will need any flat figures from plywood, sandpaper, matt acrylic paint, acrylic matte varnish, adhesive tape (I have Craft Premier), velvet powder (I have a Craft Premier), stencils with background drawings to decorate ribbons, rhinestones.
Course of work: 1. The billet of the toy is skins and covered with two layers of matte acrylic paint (in one of the colors that will be used on the toy), dry it.
2.Apply two coats of matte acrylic varnish (I use French varnish Dulux celco aqua). Dry and sand with fine sandpaper. 3. Apply adhesive tape to the workpiece with a synthetic brush in a thin and even layer. Adhesive tape is very damaging to brushes (they are difficult to wash off and after applying adhesive tape several times they completely stick together), so take a brush that you don’t mind getting dirty. Dry for 15 minutes.
4.We apply the stencil to the workpiece where we applied the adhesive tape, we do not press it into the adhesive tape (it will stick to it well on its own). We sprinkle the first color of powder on top (I have black). With our fingers we lightly rub the powder into the stencil.
5. We brush off excess powder from the stencil and carefully remove the stencil from the workpiece. If everything is correctly done, then the stencil should not tear and there should be no glue-scotch on it. Here's what should happen:
6. Next, we prepare the second contrasting color of the powder to fill the remaining space on the workpiece. The color can be used both in its pure form and mixed from several colors of powder. At me are mixed burgundy, dark brown and black. We fall asleep with the prepared color all the workpiece, including the already made stencil. And just rub the powder in the scotch tape.
7. Once you feel a dense velvety coating under your fingers, you can stop. First, brush off the excess with your hand and then with a soft cloth.
8. Repeat all on the second side of the toy. After choosing a decor of ribbons and rhinestones. We glue on the glue "Moment" gel. Unusual and very stylish toy on the Christmas tree is ready! We rejoice and hang our masterpiece on the Christmas tree.
