ᐉ Beautiful decoupage of glasses for a wedding with your own hands - master classes

Usually, preparing for a wedding turns out to be very exciting and hectic. A lot of problems fall on the shoulders of future spouses, from invitations to accommodation of guests. But if you take a creative approach to preparing for the wedding ceremony, you can also get tremendous pleasure from it. For example, you can hand decorate your wedding glasses.

Currently, you can decorate glasses by hand in various ways. Techniques such as painting or applique will help with this. But most often, brides (and in some cases, grooms) choose a method such as decoupage.

Stylish decoupage of dishes

Dishes are a fertile material for this. Decoupage literally translates from French as “cutting.”

In fact, this is the basic decoupage technique:

Cutting
Pasting;
Drawing a pattern;
Edging design;
Varnish coating.

You can decorate dishes using the decoupage technique, either new or “revive” old ones. The easiest way to decorate the interior is decoupage of plates. The plates will not be used for their intended purpose, but will serve a decorative function. For example, to decorate your photos beautifully, you don’t have to use photo frames, but you can try placing them on decorative plates using the decoupage technique. There are 2 decoupage techniques: direct and reverse.

Before you start decoupaging the glass, you need to check it for cracks.

We present a master class on the direct method of decoupaging a plate using photographs:

Preparation of the surface of the plate: degrease the surface with an alcohol-containing composition, coat with a primer;
Dry and cool the plate;
Clean the surface with fine-grained sandpaper;
Next, the photograph is cut out along the contour of the picture or according to the size of the bottom of the plate (it is important to use the thinnest paper; rice paper is most often used, which easily takes the shape of any surface);
The photograph is pasted onto the surface of the plate, using a brush the pattern is smoothed from the center to the edges, and air bubbles are expelled;
Dry the product, possibly using a hair dryer;
If folds have formed during the drying process, they need to be sanded with sandpaper;
The background of the plate is created using oil pastels: the pastel is applied with a finger and rubbed thoroughly; you can use several colors to obtain beautiful shades or stains;
Using a sponge, the edges of the plate are worked out: the paint is applied in a thin layer with light tangential movements;
Drying the product;
The last stage is applying varnish, for this it is better to use a sponge and apply several layers, each layer should be sanded with sandpaper and dried thoroughly;
If the plate will be hung on the wall, a loop should be glued to the back side.

Thus, you can decorate old or new plates, you can create a whole panel from plates of various sizes and shapes - this will create an original and unique interior.

Using the decoupage technique, you can decorate almost any dishware: plastic, glass, clay, any type of enamel, metal and wood, even a glass stand is suitable.

Do-it-yourself frosting of glasses

If you don’t know how to decorate glasses for the New Year with your own hands at home, then we suggest you turn your attention to this idea with a photo. This work involves matting wine glasses with a special engraving paste. The design effect is simply unsurpassed!

To work you will need:

wineglass;
alcohol;
cotton pad;
ready-made contour stickers;
gloves;
small sponge;
scissors;
wide transparent tape;
matte thin tape;
Idea Vetro engraving paste.

Manufacturing process:

To begin with, before directly decorating the glass vessel, we will have to, as always, degrease the surface of the wine glass with an alcohol solution.
Now we decide on the future pattern on the glass surface. Cut out the required sticker and place it face up on the prepared file.
We attach a wide strip of tape on top so that it completely covers the image element. We carefully smooth it, and then, together with the finished sticker, tear it off from the file.
We attach our resulting template to the glass, thoroughly ironing the surface of the sticker to avoid the appearance of bubbles and unevenness.
After this, we need to remove the wide tape, leaving only the colored sticker on the glass, and cover the edges of the picture with strips of matte tape so that there are no gaps around. We do this in order to protect the surface of the wine glass from unwanted contact with engraving paste.
The next step of our creative work is to matte the design on the glass. We take the engraving paste and, wearing gloves, apply it with a small piece of washcloth onto the sticker design itself, without going beyond the protective matte tape.
We wait 15 minutes and wash off the remaining applied product with water. Our DIY decoration for the New Year 2021 is ready! Such beauty will amaze everyone at the holiday, be sure of it.

Decoupage can

Lately, “antique” dishes and interior items, or new uses for truly antique items, have become very popular. An old leaky can can be transformed and turned into an original vase, a candlestick lamp, or decorate a country house.

A can made using the decoupage technique is not only a practical item, but also an excellent decorative element.

Technology:

First of all, the old surface needs to be coated with anti-rust agent, then with acrylic paint;
Cut out an image, a picture, and stick them on the surface;
Dilute oil paint of the selected color with a special medium with a drying effect;
Dry thoroughly;
Cover the can;
Several layers of varnish or wax.

Provence, vintage, eco-style are suitable for decorating a can, samovar, or old frying pan, so you should choose suitable motifs. You can use napkins from various collections. Flowers, pastoral, birds, children or angels are the most suitable themes.

Home made artificial snow

Of course, you can purchase it in the store, as noted above, but in order to save money, it is possible to make such a snow miracle with your own hands for the New Year 2021 to decorate something. If you want to know how, then quickly delve into the information we provide.

To work you will need:

corn starch - 2 packs;
shaving foam;
flavored extracts optional;
glitter or mica for best effect.

Manufacturing process:

Pour the prepared cornstarch into a deep container and add a little shaving foam to it. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with a spoon so that the mass acquires all those natural qualities that are inherent in real snow - looseness, flowability and pleasant frostiness - in our case, coolness.
To achieve shimmer, it is recommended to enrich the artificial mixture with some glitter or mica. So, the snow made by yourself will shimmer in the light of mechanical garlands, which looks very excellent.

Rice paper is good for decoupaging a glass in a New Year's style

The easiest way to decoupage wine glasses and glasses is to use rice paper.

Stages of work:

The preparation is the same as described above.
Wrap the glass in rice paper, leaving the top edge free (for comfortable use).
The protruding paper must be torn off.
The paper should be carefully wetted with a brush and glued to the surface, and the folds should be smoothed out so that no air remains.
Apply decoupage glue to damp paper and dry.
Cut out a drawing from napkins or special paper, which is sold in craft stores, and sprinkle it with hairspray in several layers. This will help you easily apply the motif to paper.

Glasses covered in snow

Have you ever decorated your glasses with artificial snow?! If yes, then, for sure, you have already made sure that this beauty is indescribable, and if you haven’t even tried to contemplate this wonderful creation at home, then let’s boldly take on the experiment. For the New Year 2021, we invite you to decorate not only your existing wine glasses, but also glasses, shot glasses and other table drinking vessels with your own hands in a fairly short time.

To work you will need:

a jar of artificial snow;
glue;
glasses;
glitter;
brush;
alcohol to degrease the vessel.

The process of creating New Year's decor:

Having placed all the glasses you like on the table in front of you, carefully degrease them with an alcohol solution. This will allow us to get rid of unnecessary marks and stains on the vessel, and will also give the future material applied to the glass surface tenacity and strength.
We take a convenient brush and use it to apply a thin layer of glue along the entire outer circumference of the wine glass and immediately sprinkle our product with artificial snow and shimmering sparkles, previously purchased at a specialized store.
We should remove the excess of this available material with the same brush, but after fixing our festive decoration. If you have an uncontrollable desire to add something of your own to the decoration of the glass, then go ahead! Your possibilities are endless, as you know. You can easily attach small snowflakes, beads, rhinestones, sequins and other decorative elements chosen to your taste to such vessels with your own hands. In any case, by the New Year you will have wonderful wine glasses that you just can’t take your eyes off.

Decoupage wine glasses and wine glasses using a napkin

Modern trends in design involve the creation of original interior items that emphasize individuality. To decorate glasses, instead of rice paper, you can use multi-layer napkins. In this case, the napkin can be the background and the design itself.

After decoupaging the glasses using napkins, a layer of acrylic varnish should be applied to its surface to protect it from various damages.

The decoupage technique is the same, but there are differences:

The pattern on the napkin must be separated from other layers;
Glue with glue, not water.

In the same way, you can decorate cups, bottles of wine or champagne, which can be given to guests or given away as prizes. Instead of rice paper, you can use fabrics: light organza, chiffon, the finest silk or lace.

Tools

In addition to the materials listed above, to decoupage glass glasses you will need:

Brushes: flat, with artificial bristles - for applying glue, thin round - for painting, thick round - for joints.
Foam sponges. Convenient for applying primer, varnish, final leveling of paper and removing excess water.
Scissors. Convenient to use manicure or medical instruments.
Multifora (file).

After all materials and tools have been prepared, you can begin to work.

A clay jug decorated using the decoupage technique in a New Year's style is well suited as a table decoration for the New Year

We use an old clay jug as a New Year's vase for coniferous branches:

Degrease the surface; if there are any rough spots or chips, sand it with sandpaper and apply several layers of primer.
Let's start painting: paint is applied several times. To obtain beautiful shimmers, you can use multi-colored gel pastes.
We paste the prepared pictures and stencils of a suitable theme onto the surface and carefully smooth them out.
You can draw individual details with acrylic paints or apply curls, snowflakes, personalized letters or monograms - then the gift becomes individual.
We coat the surface with varnish 3 times.
We glue beads along the edge of the neck of the jug and, in any order, rhinestones, beads or sparkles.
Dry the finished jug for at least 24 hours.
Insert spruce or pine branches into the jug.
Decorate the branches with Christmas tree decorations, or you can use real tangerines, caramel apples, candies, or New Year's cookies or gingerbread.

If the jug is not full of holes, pour water into it - this way the coniferous bouquet will delight the eye with its bright color and aroma for a long time
