Do you like decoupage? Then this article is for you. From it you will learn a lot of interesting information about volumetric decoupage. Different options for performing work in this technique will also be considered.

Decoupage

The most amazing thing is that both adults and children can do decoupage. And it works well even for beginners. By attaching paper to the surface with glue, you can get very original crafts. Therefore, if you want to make an exclusive gift, decorate some item using decoupage technique. Want to keep the kids busy on a rainy day? Have them make some craft using the above technique.

Volume decoupage is a relatively inexpensive hobby. It only takes a few tools to start creating works of art. The idea of volumetric decoupage is that the drawing looks like a three-dimensional image. This is done by overlaying the design from the background to the foreground.

Basics

Volumetric decoupage is also known as papertole or 3D decoupage. It is thanks to this method that you can create not just a three-dimensional image, but also a design masterpiece. At6-7 identical images are usually used to complete a painting.

The desired ornament is cut out of them, glued to the base, and the image is given volume, that is, a 3D effect. Papertole is an interesting and simple technique for creating volumetric decoupage with your favorite pictures and prints.

Decoupage wall

How to make volumetric decoupage with putty? The tutorial below will cover this in detail. But first, let's select the materials that will be required for decoupage of the walls:

• Primer. Choose the usual one, which is used for ceilings. You need to apply it in a couple of layers.
• Putty.
• Super glue.
• Lacquer.
• PVA glue for paper.
• Napkins or paper.

Decorate the wall beautifully

First you need to prepare the walls. Prime. Wait a couple of hours until completely dry. If there are irregularities and roughness, they should be cleaned with sandpaper.

Attach a napkin with the selected ornament and fix it on top with a layer of glue. If the main task is to create a relief, then apply an ornament. To do this, the picture must be transferred to tracing paper, after which it is already applied to the base, which will be processed. You need to circle the pattern. If this is not possible, use a stencil. It is undesirable to use silicone glue in the work, since it contains acetic acid. You can recognize this by its strong smell. This type of glue is quickly absorbed into any paper and is not suitable for this type.decoupage.

Putty will make it possible to complete a pattern or a picture without any problems. And the simplest and easiest method is to apply using a stencil.

When choosing a stencil that attaches itself, the sequence of actions is as follows:

1. A stencil is attached to the used background.
2. Putty is applied. We fill the voids of the stencil with it.
3. After applying the putty, you need to wait 30 minutes in time and disconnect the stencil. It is important to work carefully.
4. If a reusable stencil is used, then after applying to the base, it is immediately necessary to apply putty. For better fixing, fix with tape. If putty gets under the stencil, you need to leave everything until it dries.
5. Remove excess with toothpicks. When the material dries, it must be cleaned with sandpaper to smooth out the bumps. We repeat this procedure for applying the material. The main thing is to do everything so that the material is exactly on the pattern, in order to give volume. After drying, the surface is cleaned again.

Difficult option

How to make volumetric decoupage with your own hands? This method needs more time to complete the work.

1. Print out the desired pattern and transfer with carbon paper to the base. If you draw well, create an ornament yourself.
2. Pour the putty into a container, add a small amount of water and PVA glue. The consistency should be thick.
3. Apply putty on the painted ornament.
4. After the completion of the first layer, it is necessary to leaveall for at least 24 hours until completely dry.
5. The next day you need to check the image, if necessary, add putty.
6. If the pattern is not very good, it can be removed with a damp cloth and redone. When the work with the ornament is completed, the image is varnished (preferably acrylic, the drying time is up to 12 hours).

Volumetric decoupage. Painting master class

Materials:

• printed images, minimum 10 copies.
• acrylic paint;
• super glue.

Steps of work:

1. You need to print the desired image. It is better to use thick paper. For this type of work, 10 identical images are required.
2. First stick on cardboard. This will be the base.
3. From the remaining 9 you need to cut out the desired images. Each of them is covered with several layers of varnish. The first must be made thin so that the paper does not tear, and each subsequent one must be thicker.
4. Take the substrate, put it on the picture and trace the outline.
5. Then we cut out the part a little less than along the contour, and glue it on the paper part.
6. The next step is to attach everything to the base. This will give us the first layer.
7. Next, it is worth sticking the next layers, combine their contours with the previous one.
8. At the final stage, we tint everything that has not been tinted. We clean from glue. Preparing work for varnishing.
9. We cover with several layers of varnish.

Flower pot

Now consider a master class on volumetric decoupage of a flower pot. Following the instructions, you will be able to do a similar craft well.

Materials and tools:

• varnish;
• PVA glue;
• napkins with flowers;
• scissors;
• brush;
• sandpaper
• primer.

Work order:

1. Prime the surface of the pot. Wait for it to dry.
2. All irregularities on the surface must be cleaned with sandpaper.
3. Stick the cut-out ornament (flowers) on the prepared surface.
4. The next step is to add volume to the image. Apply primer within the outline of the drawing. The edges need to be smoothed.
5. Then from above we duplicate the pattern on the primer, attach it with PVA.
6. We cover the finished work with varnish.

Volumetric decoupage with putty. Decorate the box

Materials:

• box;
• printed image;
• stencil;
• putty;
• PVA glue;
• acrylic varnish;
• adhesive tape;
• paint;
• brush;
• plate;
• hair dryer.

Designing the box

1. Prepare a printout with the selected image. It is necessary to “thinn” it by removing the lower layers, leaving only the upper one with the picture.
2. It is better to tear out the image, not cut it out, so that there is no even border. This will help make the transition smoother. Cut and glue tothe lid of the box.
3. Coating the image with varnish.
4. Next, you need a stencil. It is necessary to take putty, put it in a container. Dilute PVA, add a little varnish. We apply the stencil to the end of the box. On the edge can be attached with adhesive tape. Putty on top
5. Duplicate the actions on the other sides of the box, drying with a hairdryer.
6. Toothpick off excess putty.
7. Everything should be varnished and dried with a hair dryer to strengthen the putty.
8. The next step is to paint on the picture. Before finishing, you need to clean up the edges in order to align the transition as much as possible.
9. Now you need to choose the right shade, with which we begin to make a more natural color and a smoother transition in the picture.
10. Painting over the places where the picture connects to the box.
11. Using a sponge paint the surface.
12. We cover the finished painted work with varnish, we clean the transition between the image and the box well, aligning everything into one picture.

Decoupage vase

Now consider a master class of volumetric decoupage with putty. In this case, a vase will be decorated.

To create an exclusive vase, you need:

• the vase itself;
• putty;
• napkin with sunflowers;
• paint;
• glue;
• varnish;
• dry flowers, seeds;
• solvent.

Working order:

1. We pre-prime the vase.
2. The napkin must be unfolded, turned upside down and covered with foil.
3. Take a little putty, let it dry.
4. Put putty on top of the image, align.
5. Apply the film with putty to the vase.
6. The figure of a sunflower will remain on it.
7. After the putty has dried, stick a napkin on it. Also, on the other side of the vase, make a second sunflower figure.
8. After the glue has dried, you need to take putty and apply it to the surface of the vase.
9. Until the mass is dry, press dry flowers, seeds into it.
10. After the putty has dried, paint the surface.
11. Special attention should be paid to dyeing dry flowers, seeds.
12. To give the effect of "antique" in some areas, it is necessary to apply varnish. Remove excess solvent.
13. Leave to dry for a day and cover the entire vase with varnish in order to fix the image. That's all, the volumetric decoupage of the vase is finished, the work is ready.
