TRICKS FOR DECOUPAGE

These are small tips to get started with decoupage and questions that are often proposed:

When you spread the glue on the cropping, paper rolls perevitarlo all ... what can I do?
Soak the clipping in a bowl of warm water for a few seconds. The first image is arrotolerà on itself, then unwind. Then spread it between two sheets of paper towel paper
to absorb excess water and then brush on the back of the image a thin layer of glue
.

Because when I put out my final paint surface is covered with bubbles?
E 'the air that is stored inside the paint! Once you reached the final stage of work, stir well with a wooden stick the flatting, water or solvent that is.
Let stand for about 5 minutes and only after it passes the paint
final.
Because if I paste the pictures on the unfinished wood surface around the decor is stained?
Because the glue soaks the wood and stain. Before gluing the figure, the surface of the island with a thin layer of glue (mixed with one part water). Only when the glue is dry, proceed with decoupage.
Sometimes, though put forth the bonding primer, paint does not adhere well to metal, Why?
The metal, especially if new, has a very smooth surface. I suggest you rub a bit 'the object with a fine sandpaper, so as to create a thin mesh to which the color will cling better.
How can I easily fraying a napkin?
Dip a small brush at the tip end and discharge the excess water on a piece of paper towel. Then defines the contour of the figure from fraying with a brush and then "pulls" the image: in the blink of an eye you will have the honor to work for your decoupage!
How can I do to soften the brush? Unfortunately
brushes with the use inevitably harden, whether they have been used for water-based products is that, in contrast, have been used for solvent-based products. To get them to go soft, leave to soak overnight in water softener and laundry. Return as new!
antiquing I have a picture ... how do I?
I suggest a way home, with which you will save quite a bit of pennies. Nothing paints aging, only tea and coffee. I'm not kidding! Wrap the bottom of a coffee in a Garzino and rub on the image or you can do the same thing with a cotton swab dipped in coffee (strizzalo well, I recommend!). You can also use a wet tea filter. Depending on how far insisted the weathering will be more or less pronounced. Let dry and see the result!
