Decoupage tin can

Materials and tools:

metal jar,
window cleaner,
sandpaper No. 100, No. 400,
latex putty,
putty knife,
napkin,
primer – enamel for rust white,
brushes and foam sponges,
office file,
decoupage glue,
glossy acrylic varnish,
titanium white,
red acrylic paint,
cosmetic sponges (triangular shape),
gold acrylic paint,
yellow acrylic paint.

Operating procedure:
I found a very old metal jar, worn in places, bent in others and quite peeling. I'll try to make something decent out of it.
First, the jar needs to be rinsed and dried thoroughly, then degreased by wiping with an alcohol-containing product (I used window cleaner).

Now you need to remove all the old paint using coarse sandpaper (no. 100). The bottom part of the jar, on which there was no paint, also needs to be sanded.

All dents need to be filled with putty, level the surface with a spatula and dry.

When the putty is completely dry, cover the jar with primer - rust enamel. I applied the first layer of enamel with a brush. Dry the first layer. Primer enamel dries much longer than acrylic primer. water based It will take 6-7 hours for the jar to dry completely.

After this, treat the surface with finer sandpaper (No. 400), it will even out small irregularities.

Apply the second layer of primer - enamel, not with a brush, but with a piece foam sponge. To avoid getting your hands dirty, hold the sponge not with your hands, but with a clothespin or a paper clip.

Leave the jar to dry again for 7 - 8 hours. Then polish the surface again with polishing paper. Don't forget to also paint the inside of the jar.

The next stage of our work will be gluing the napkin. I chose a cupcake motif on a soft creamy, slightly pinkish background.

Cut the napkin to the shape of the lid. Peel off the top ink layer of the napkin. Don’t throw away the bottom two layers, they will come in handy later.

Place the napkin face down on the file and pour water over it. In the water, the napkin will wrinkle and begin to bubble; carefully touching the edges of the napkin, stretch it, trying to smooth out the folds.

Using a brush with a beveled edge, smooth the napkin from the center to the edges, expelling air bubbles from under the napkin. When the napkin is nice and flat, fold the napkin and drain the excess water from the file.

Go over with a dry cloth (those two layers that you separated) wet wipe using blotting movements, all remaining small air bubbles will disappear.

Turn the file over and place the napkin on the lid of the jar. Without removing the file, use a spatula from the center to the edges, driving out any remaining bubbles, smoothing out any remaining wrinkles, and ensuring that the napkin adheres well to the jar.

Cover the napkin with glue and dry.

When the glue dries, polish the surface with fine sandpaper and coat it with glossy acrylic varnish.

When the varnish has dried well, polish the surface again with fine sandpaper, and walk along the edge with stiffer sandpaper, tearing off the protruding edges of the napkin.

Since the background of the napkin is not white, but cream, the entire jar will have to be painted the same color. To find the right shade, I mixed titanium white with a drop of red acrylic paint.

Apply the paint with a soft cosmetic sponge, carefully working around the design. Paint the jar in as many layers as necessary so that the background of the jar completely blends with the background of the design on the napkin. After each paint job (I had three coats), be sure to polish the surface with fine sandpaper.

To draw peas, mix gold paint with yellow, achieving a complete match with the paint used to paint the peas on the napkin.

Draw peas with any available tool. I used a manicure tool that makes dots on the nails.

Dry the paint and coat the jar on all sides with several layers of glossy acrylic varnish, each time drying it and polishing the surface. I ended up with at least five layers of varnish. Here you go, jar updated using decoupage ready. She is impossible to recognize!

It’s not a shame to even give such a jar as a gift!

Decoupage of an iron can. Photo master class

For work we will need the following materials:

can,
red acrylic paint (or another color, depending on the color of the napkin fragment used),
white acrylic paint,
craquelure varnish for decoupage,
decoupage glue or regular construction PVA,
napkin,
a piece of foam rubber or sponge,
brush.

Let's get to work. We wash, clean from dirt and dry our iron jar. After drying, paint with red acrylic varnish.

Apply a thin layer of craquelure varnish for decoupage to the dried layer of red acrylic paint.

Leave the jar until the varnish dries.

Now let's take the white one acrylic paint and “smack the can”, apply it using a piece of sponge or foam rubber.

After a few minutes, we begin to observe the appearance of cracks on the can.

We take a napkin, separate the top layer and tear off the motif we need for decoupage.

Glue the motif to the jar.

Cover the top of the motif with a layer of decoupage glue. To make it brighter, you can glue another napkin on top.

Dry the work and admire your creation)

Decoupage tins for spices

The most exciting thing about needlework is the opportunity to give new life things that should have gone to the landfill long ago. For example, decoupaged tin jars for spices from the Soviet past will decorate not only a cozy country kitchen, but also a completely modern dining room in the Provence style.

Two old small tin jars;
.sandpaper;
.piece of fabric;
.solvent;
.painting tape;
.piece of sponge;
.decoupage napkins with small plant motifs;
.acrylic paints: white, yellow, ocher, Indian red, red kraplak;
.acrylic lacquer;
.synthetic brushes;
.hairdryer

Manufacturing:

1. Since our jars have been used for storing spices for many years and have become heavily “overgrown” with fat, they need to be thoroughly cleaned. To do this, use a cloth generously soaked in solvent.

2. To improve the adhesion of paint to metal, “walk” the jars with sandpaper.

3. If you completely paint the surface of the spice jars, there is a possibility that the lid will not close afterwards. To avoid problems when the work is completed, cover the top with narrow masking tape.

4. To give white paint a delicate creamy hue, add a little yellow and Indian red to it. Using a sponge, “stamp” the jars and lids. Dry the surface with a hairdryer and repeat the previous step again.

5. After drying, apply the final coat of paint using stroking movements from bottom to top.

6. Cut out the berry motifs from the napkins and separate the top layer with the design.

7. Sand the surface of the painted and dried jars with sandpaper.

8. Dilute PVA glue with water in a 1:1 ratio. Glue the motifs onto the jars and lids, applying PVA starting from the middle of the design, and then “accelerating” with a synthetic brush to the edges. After drying, coat the motifs with another layer of glue.

9. If small folds form during the work, do not be upset. Take fine sandpaper and carefully rub out the folds so as not to damage the design.

10. Make a palette of paints on a piece of paper pastel shades- light yellow and muted pink. To do this, experiment with paints - white, yellow, ocher and red speckled.

11. Dip a flat synthetic brush into pink paint, wipe off the excess onto the paper, and, holding it upright, “stamp” the surface of the lid and box. Rinse the brush with water and similarly “dilute” the pink pastel with yellow.

Christmas decor for a cookie tin. Master class on decoupage on metal
Artist: Chingiz Abashev

Biscuit tin or any other suitable box;

Acrylic primer;

Napkins for decoupage;

Varnish glue for decoupage;

White paint;

Acrylic contours;

Acrylic semi-matte varnish.

1. Prepare the surface for work. First of all, sand the tin can and lid so that the primer adheres better to the surface.

2. Cover the surface with soil. The primer should be applied in several layers, drying and sanding each layer, achieving a flat and smooth surface through which the previous color or pattern will not show through.

3. Mentally figure out what pattern we want to make from scraps and cut out segments with the desired patterns from decoupage napkins. You can alternate shreds of different sizes, this has a special charm.

4. Lay out the pattern from the scraps on the lid of the box.

At this stage, it would be a good idea to photograph the resulting pattern so that during the gluing process you do not forget the order of the napkin segments.

5. Layer the napkin. We only need its top layer, the one on which the drawing is applied.

6. We will transfer the napkin to the surface using the “through a file” method.

This method best allows you to smooth out the napkin, avoiding wrinkles and air bubbles. We place our piece of napkin face down on the stationery file. Pour enough water to smooth the napkin in the water.

We drain the excess water, and apply the file with a napkin to the box.

Gently smooth the napkin through the file, expelling the air from under it. We remove the file.

We cover the napkin with decoupage adhesive varnish and wait until it dries before gluing the next element.

We glue pieces of napkins onto the lid in the same way.

Here we need to remember what drawing was drawn up at the very beginning - that’s why we took the photo. However, the flight of inspiration has not been canceled; you can improvise and change the location of the patches right as you work.

7. When all the elements are pasted, take a sponge and white paint and stamp the edges of the lid, slightly going over the patchwork pattern to hide the edges of the napkins under a layer of paint.

We also go over the edge of the bottom of the box with a sponge.

8. We decided to hide the junctions of different napkins under a white stripe. To get a straight line, glue two pieces of construction tape along the joint of the napkins, leaving a gap of the required thickness between them. We tamp the open strip with a sponge and white paint.

Without waiting for the paint to dry, carefully remove the strips of tape. Voila! Rovnaya white stripe ready.

We do this at all the joints of the napkins.

9. We just thought the white stripes were a bit boring, so we decided to add dots as outlines to support the main colors of the napkins. We alternate between purple metallic, red metallic and golden-green metallic. It turns out very elegant!
