DIY furniture painting

Since antiquity, the traditions of painting of furniture items remained. Today, painting furniture with your own hands again in fashion. With the help of this technique, an ordinary thing at first glance can be turned into a work of art. In a single style, you can paint not only furniture, but also walls, doors, place the corresponding accessories around the room. This approach to creating the interior is very relevant lately. It looks very beautiful and original to process the surface of the furniture in the technique “Decoupage”. First, select the surface- for example a tree, although it is possible to cover metal and glass. We buy paint, glue, primer, varnish. We take ordinary paper napkins with a pattern, flat brushes and acrylic paint: – carefully relax the napkins, remove the upper layer with a pattern; – cut out the desired template from the napkin; – degrease the surface of the furniture; – stain the processed product with a paint with a beam so that the drawing from the napkin is visible; – we put a napkin on the product and cover it with glue from the outside (it is better to use a sponge for glue, not a brush); – if desired, acrylic paint can be finished or fragments of the picture; – using the primer, some details can be given volume; – after the drawing completely dry, we cover it with at least two layers of varnish (before applying the second layer, wait for the first one). In the technique of decoupage, you can process the surface of the furniture and without a pattern. We cover the surface with PVA glue, moisten the thread with water, then lower it into glue and soak it there. And then we glue the thread on the surface of the furniture so that a certain ornament forms. You can correct the pattern using a toothpick. A thread pattern can be supplemented with a putty ornament. Most often they paint children’s furniture, this allows you to create a fabulous atmosphere and a good mood for the child. DIY furniture painting is also an opportunity to give a second life to their old, having lost its former appearance of furniture.
