Do-it-yourself jar for tea and coffee. Decoupage of simple jars - a master class for beginners Do-it-yourself tea jar
You can use anything for such needlework: ordinary glass jars, simple dishes, any bottles, glass, and even jars of chips and coffee. Try to decoupage kitchen jars, decoupage plastic jars - and you will see how cool it looks on the shelves or on the table.
The meaning of this technique is pasting with cut-out napkins, printed drawings, selected dishes or any piece of furniture. After gluing, most often the entire surface is covered with a layer of protective varnish. This is if you want the thing to serve you longer.
The flower is not cut out of the napkin, but simply cut off the edges.
Master class number 1 - decoupage of enamelware
If you just want to try your hand at this technique, you will only need napkins or printouts, clippings from a glossy magazine, any acrylic paint, or ordinary PVA stationery glue.
Varnish for decoupage (if you buy it in a special store - the price bites) you can buy it in a repair shop, or you can make it yourself. There are 2 options for homemade varnish.
How to make Mod Podge (lacquer) based on glue:
- 225 ml of PVA glue.
- 112.5 ml of water.
- 2 tablespoons water-based polish (optional)
Mix everything in one jar, shake and close the lid. The varnish is ready.
How to make a Flour Based Mod Podge:
- 1 ½ (210 grams) cup flour
- ¼ cup (56.25 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (225 ml) cold water
- ¼ teaspoon olive oil (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon vinegar (optional)
We mix all the ingredients in a ladle, beat a little with a fork, do not forget about the vinegar. Turn on medium heat and bring to a boil. If it's too thick, add water. Bring to a boil, while stirring, remove from heat. We are waiting for it to cool, and pour into a jar with a lid.
You can start a master class for beginners. We select the surface that we want to decorate and prepare the materials. Any designs can decorate dishes, for example, cards, wrapping paper, magazine clippings, postcards, napkins, etc.
Images are printed only on a laser printer, on an inkjet they will be smeared.
For work you will need:
- White acrylic paint.
- Skin (sandpaper).
- Brown acrylic paint.
- Tassel.
- Varnish Mod Podge or DIY from 2 options.
- Sponge
- PVA glue (dilute with water 1: 1).
- Can, jug, mug - any enamelware.
We equip a working corner: we lay a newspaper or paper. Degrease the surface (we wash it with water, then you can wipe it with alcohol or cologne).
Print out the pictures and cut them out. We try to cut all the pictures at an angle so that the varnish lays down better.
We take a foam rubber sponge (you can use a sponge for dishes) and “wet” the corners of the picture with brown paint. We put the tablet in water for 1-2 minutes. We need to remove the top layer, on which there is a picture. There are several ways to thin an image.
You can simply split (for example, office paper, cardboard), or you can, by attaching a picture with the back side, “roll up” the top layer with your fingertips.
Another “dry” way to split paper is with tape. The pattern on the reverse side is tightly sealed across or along with strips of adhesive tape. It is better to take a wide adhesive tape. Press firmly on the tape and paper so that they stick together better. Starting from the corner, we separate the layers of paper and carefully separate the top layer. Just do not tear sharply, otherwise the pattern can be torn.
We smear the place chosen for the picture with PVA glue, apply a picture to this place, and also coat it with glue on top. After 30 minutes, cover with decoupage varnish or homemade varnish (recipe above). We put it aside and wait for the varnish to dry (2-3 hours), you can walk again, the final one. From an old can we got a vase.
Master class number 2 - decoupage of a glass jar
We will make the next decoupage of a glass jar master class from ordinary glass jars, you can make vases or stands for spoons and forks from them. Decoupage of glass jars should be started by soaking them in warm water, followed by removal of old labels.
Decoupage of a glass jar is a good idea. For work, we need everything that in the first master class, PVA glue can be replaced with decoupage varnish (Mod Podge or homemade). If you use PVA glue, then it must be diluted with water 1: 2 so that it is not very thick.
So, we print pictures or cut them out from magazines, postcards, napkins, etc.
For work we take:
- Acrylic paints - white and black.
- Sandpaper.
- PVA glue.
- Decoupage varnish (can be replaced with homemade varnish: see above).
- Printouts or clippings from magazines.
- Brush, sponge.
Apply primer to glass. If you are a novice artist, you can skip this moment, it is enough to cover the glass with black paint.
We apply black acrylic paint to the glass surface of the jar. Let dry properly.
We pass along all sides, bulges of a glass jar - with sandpaper. We need this for the aging effect.
We print out the pictures, cut out the fragments with scissors. We put the cut out fragment on the file, take a brush and decoupage varnish (homemade varnish number 1, made from PVA glue: see above). We apply the solution to the fragment. We are waiting for it to dry, and apply again, and so on up to 3 times.
Then we put the fragment in warm water for 5-10 minutes. Apply PVA glue to the center of the can with a brush. Carefully, so as not to tear the picture, apply it to the jar and remove the top layer.
From above we varnish the picture first, and then the entire jar. Let dry and varnish again. This is how you can decoupage small and large glass jars.
Master class number 3 - decorate a tin
Next - we wash, degrease and dry jars, bottles, metal cans, flower pots, in general, everything that you are going to decoupage. In this master class, we will decoupage a tin can. These banks usually sell canned fruits or vegetables.
We start decoupage of cans by making sure that there are no sharp edges or burrs. There are many ways to finish the edges: you can use pliers and bend the sharp tin edges inward, you can cut the wire with a diameter of 3-4 mm., And glue the vinyl top of the wire to the top of the can:
After we have washed and degreased the tin can with alcohol or cologne, and decorated the top, we need to apply dark acrylic paint to the surface of the can. This can be done with a brush or sponge. We are waiting for the paint to dry.
After the dark paint has dried, apply a layer of white acrylic. And also waiting for it to dry. Can be covered with white acrylic one more time.
We glue the pictures using the “file method”. We put the picture on the stationery file face down, pour water on top. Hold the pictures for 3 minutes in water and thin them after that. We drain the water, apply it to the right place, press it, remove the file. smooth with a brush and expel air bubbles, apply glue to the drawing. Smooth evenly, straighten the folds. We work from the center point to the edges. We pass through the picture with a brush with glue. Let's dry. We apply varnish. We dry. We repeat again.
Professionals apply 25-30 layers of varnish to the product, but we are beginners, 2-3 layers are enough for us.
Glass jars and bottles are treated in the same way. If the color of the glass is dark, then dark acrylic can not be covered. Only white paint, and then sanded with sandpaper.
Master class number 4 - decoupage of cans for bulk products
And one more master class using packaging from chips. It is convenient to store tea, sugar, coffee in it. We repeat everything, as in the first two works. As a result, you will get jars for bulk products.
Decoupage coffee jars. Very cute and cute decor.
Cover the metal surface of the box with acrylic primer, applying it in 2-3 layers, so as to completely cover the metal. Each layer must dry properly before applying the next. The primer can be applied with a small roller or a piece of sponge.
Step 2
When the primer is dry, cut the patterned paper into strips. If the paper is thick enough (for example, for scrapbooking), dip it in water for a few seconds, and then remove and wipe off excess water from the surface. Apply PVA glue to the back of the strip and stick the strip on.
Step 3
Copy from the herbal medicine or plant guide or print from the Internet images of plants that you collected and dried in the summer (raspberry leaves, currant leaves, thyme, mint ...). Cut them out. Tint the edges of the pattern with a brewed and lightly squeezed tea bag.
Step 4
Glue the finished drawing on top of the paper strip. Smooth it out and leave to dry.
Step 5
Mix acrylic paints, get ivory paint. Tint the jar and edges of the jar lid with a sponge. You can apply paint with a sponge and a darker tone.
A friend of our club sent us a very interesting article about how he decorated the vessels for storing tea (tea caddies) with his own hands using papers from pu-erh pancakes.
=============================================
Do-it-yourself teapots for Chinese tea
If earlier I drank with mainly Shu Pu-erh, then making it a rule to drink tea daily, I became addicted to many other varieties.
Having bought Te Guan Yin a fresh harvester after a couple of months, I sadly discovered that the seagulls were dry and the taste began to differ somewhat from the original.
Having studied the assortment of tea shops, I realized with sadness that there is nothing that I really like and will help the seagull not to deteriorate.
Now about the process
To make you will need:
1. A friend in a tea shop (or your own supply of rice paper, which can be of artistic value as well as practical). In general, you need rice paper, which is used to wrap your favorite tea pancakes.
2. Acrylic paint. It is practically odorless (because it is made on a water basis), dries quickly enough and has good adhesion.
3. Matte water-based varnish. You can buy it at the place with acrylic paint in the art supply store.
4. PVA glue.
5. Brushes.
6. Capacities that will be taken as a basis.(I took Luminarc Box Mania Wood)
Optional:
7. Skin of small and large fractions
8. Tung natural oil (no solvents)
Go!
We prime banks:
The number of layers of acrylic at your discretion, but it seems acceptable to me from three. After applying the third layer, let it dry well. It is better to apply the third layer at night to protect yourself from the temptations to feel the result.
Then we glue the main layer of rice paper, on which we will apply our drawing. It is naturally recommended to do this from one package so that the color does not stand out. In order for the glued mass of rice paper to have a uniform appearance, it is necessary to adhere to the following technical process:
We tear with our hands (in no case cut with scissors) the packaging from the tea pancake, separating the picture from the background.
With a thin strip, tear off the edges of the package to get rid of machine cutting. If this is not done, transitions will be visible when gluing pieces on top of each other.
We will use the resulting pieces without a pattern as a basis.
Glue the jar over the entire outer area with rice paper.
It is very important not to pour a lot of PVA glue, otherwise the paper will absorb it and it will turn out not very aesthetically pleasing.
To achieve uniformity in color and hide the primer, it is necessary to glue about three layers on top of each other.
Back to covers. The selected base jars have a very rough varnish,
which is unpleasant to the touch and smell. We remove it with a rough skin. It is very important to remove the varnish to the end, otherwise, in places where the varnish has not been removed, the oil will not be absorbed. To make sure that the varnish is completely removed, it is better to wipe the cover with a damp cloth. After we have made sure that the varnish has been completely removed, we sand it with fine sandpaper until a pleasant tactile sensation occurs over the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe lid.
If you make wooden lids for jars yourself on a lathe, for example, you can take into account the fact that different types of wood absorb oil differently. Accordingly, when in contact with tung oil in several layers, you will get a darker or lighter final shade.
Why was tung oil chosen as the wood stain and protection? Everything is simple. It has antiseptic properties, repels moisture, is natural (does not contain solvents), gives a pleasant color and emphasizes the grain of the wood.
A very important point at this stage is not to apply oil in excess. You literally have to rub the oil over the entire surface with a brush.
Excess oil after drying, you will have to remove with a rag with considerable force. By the way, yes! The oil is prone to self-ignition. So remove rags and napkins soaked in oil either in waste or in the oven.
Coffee is a favorite drink of many, our family is no exception. Instant coffee is usually sold in a good glass container. But natural ground coffee or beans are usually just in paper packaging. After opening such a package, I transfer the coffee to a glass jar. A simple bank does not look spectacular. Therefore, for coffee, tea and other bulk products, I decorate jars using decoupage. Although I often make such jars for friends and acquaintances, this time I made such a jar for myself and prepared a master class along the way - decoration! Before starting work, I select napkins or decoupage cards with the necessary topics.
For the work "Decoupage coffee jars the best" I prepared:
- a glass jar with a plastic lid;
- alcohol wipe;
- PVA glue universal;
- flat synthetic brushes;
- white acrylic paint;
- clothespin with foam rubber;
- paper napkins with different coffee themes -3 pieces;
- acrylic varnish;
- colored paints;
- toothbrush;
- metal needle.
How to make decoupage coffee jars the best?
I washed the jar, then wiped it with an alcohol wipe.
I wiped the lid off with a paper towel.
Another interesting article:
Before priming the jar and lid, I covered it with a thin layer of PVA glue for better adhesion of paint to glass and plastic.
With small dipping movements, using a clothespin and foam rubber, she covered the surface of the can with white paint.
Left to dry. At this time I painted the cover.
The bank is large. This allows you to pick up a large napkin fragment for her. I pulled out a picture with a coffee cup from a napkin, divided it into layers. I glued the top layer with PVA on the surface of the can.
More MK for the home:
I also glued a fragment with letters
and coffee beans cut from a napkin.
Everything dried well. For the lid, I picked up a pattern with a coffee heart, just the size of the lid, stratified it.
Pasted on the surface of the cover pattern.
I pasted inscriptions along the edge of the lid, and on the jar I pasted a drawing with a smaller heart so that the drawings of the lid and jar overlapped.
I slightly diluted the brown paint with water and sprayed it on the can with a stick and a toothbrush.
Good afternoon, dear visitors and our regular readers. The online magazine "Handmade and Creative" presents its next masterpiece. Today we will take care of the kitchen, namely, we will make a small “facelift” on the shelves. Many of us love tea and coffee. Let's now see where we store it. Often in purchased packages or pour into whatever you need. Agree, this is wrong, because every good thing should have appropriate “clothes”. In the same way, tea and coffee should have a beautiful package. We invite you to take part in our master class. Prepare all the necessary materials and start working with us. As a result, you will get such a jar for coffee and tea, if you wish, you can make several different jars.
Required materials and tools:
- base - a tin can with a lid;
- decorative paper;
- colored tape;
- adhesive tape and double-sided tape;
- scissors.
Can base
As for the base - coffee and tea cans, you can use various options, for example, from Hipp baby food, "native" coffee cans, etc. Before starting work, clean the jar, if necessary, from the old label.
Size
First you need to measure the size of the circumference of the jar. Add 1-2 cm for overlap and cut off the required amount of decorative paper.
Decoration
Stick double-sided tape on the wrong side of one end of the cut paper. This will be a kind of Velcro for the connection. Now wrap the paper around the jar in a circle with a slight overlap, secure it on top with the edge to which the adhesive tape was attached.
Cover decor
Cut the colored ribbon the size of a circle and wrap it around the jar in the same way as with paper. We also decorate the lid. Cut out a circle from decorative paper and stick it either with glue or with a good adhesive tape. In principle, in all work, you can use glue instead of tape. Only if the glue is really good.
Final
That's all, the jar for coffee or tea is ready, it remains only to fill it with contents. If possible, make several jars at a time while you are in the mood to work and the necessary materials are at hand. With the second jar, you can show your imagination and do something in your own way. We hope you found the idea interesting and you will definitely want to repeat it.
If you liked the master class, then leave a couple of grateful lines to the author of the article in the comments. The simplest "Thank you" will give the author a desire to please us with new articles.
