Waiting for Christmas....

  Hello, everybody! Long time  I did not write in my blog...a busy time, but now waiting for Christmas holidays I decide to make some tutorials. This year I think to decorate the Christmas tree in a " vintage" style. Nice and chic. "The best of joy, the best of cheer, for Christmas and the coming year..." So, let the creativity to fly....let`s go...

 What do you think about  some Christmas balls with napkin tehnique.
 First, we will  need: Christmas patterned napkins, brushes, white acrylic paints, glue or varnish glue, golden acrylic paint, styropor balls, napkin scissors, golden marker and small sticks.

Second, paint the surface of the ball with white acrylic paint. Allow to dry.

After that, paint two times with golden acrylic paint . Allow to dry again.

Select the napkin and the design to use. Cut out the design what you want to stick. Peel away the first 2 layer of paper. We have to use the third one, the layer with the pattern. Glue the styropor ball and put the pattern selected, glue again the surface. 

Let a while to dry, maybe a few hours...must be well dried everything.

The old look can be made with a golden marker. A few stripes, the middle of the flower, in this case...

And our work is finished. Lovely pieces!!!
