IKEA Malma Frame For Decoupage
March 15, 2012 by admin
(Please click to view larger image)
I bought this Malma frame from IKEA since last year and didn’t do anything with it until recently. This time using the plain color Malma frame, I painted it in Plaid Taffy. After I have decoupaged the surface with the decoupage napkin with pink rose motif I decided to apply Jo Sonja Crackle Medium on top of it.
Once it has started to crackle, I rubbed in Plaid Forest Green. The Crackle Medium used creates a tiny, porcelain like cracks that are quite hard to notice unless you rub in a second contrast color than the surface.
Oh, the wording has been printed on paper, traced on tracing paper then traced again using graphite paper on the frame surface. I colored in with black acrylic paint using a liner brush. Some people prefer to use marker pen for wording but I always color in my wording using acrylic paint. This way I don’t have to worry about the marker ink bleeds when I varnish the finish product.
Overall I was very pleased with the result. The frame has been given to a friend as a gift.

Crackled Effect Using Jo Sonja Crackle Medium
February 20, 2012 by admin
After hoarding this key holder for a few months, I decided to do some decoupage on it. The original background color is Plaid taffy and ice green light. After I have done all the shading on the decoupage piece, I felt like trying the Jo Sonja Crackle Medium again. (Check the previous entry on the wooden box)
For those who are interested to try crackle effect, Jo Sonja has 2 different medium for crackle. The one that I used here is Crackle Medium. It’s a one step process which can be applied on top of the finished painting to get a fine crazing effect.
The other medium for crackle needs a topcoat color.
To make sure I can see the effect of the crackle, I rubbed some walnut stain into the cracks. However I think I used too much stain and it made the background color turned very dark (and look ugly) from the original color..huhu!
I think next time I will use acrylic paint in contrasting color (like dark green) with retarder to rub into the cracks instead of using walnut stain. Lesson learned!

Decoupage On Wooden Box
January 30, 2012 by admin
Please on the pictures to see a larger version.
I’ve bought this wooden box since 2006 but never do anything with it. So during the last long weekend, I decided to try the Jo Sonja Crackle Medium (again!) on the box. After putting a basecoat color, I applied the medium and it started to crack. I then applied walnut stain into the cracks.
I don’t really like the effect of the stain has on the surface as it created such a shabby rustic look. I proceeded with sealing the motif of roses from decoupage napkin. I then traced the wording and color in with black paint.
After I have finished doing all the wordings on the box, I realized that it looks much better plain like this. Well, what can I do, things were done and I have to live with the consequences. After all that’s what experimenting in craft will give you, a lesson to learn..heh!

Painting Stripe For Decoupage Tin
January 12, 2012 by admin
I’ve never tried painting stripe on the surface that I want to decoupage. So today I thought I will try it.
Using the craft tape which I bought for glass painting, I taped down a few strips around the tin after I have painted the base in Ice Green Light.
The craft tape doesn’t stick too hard on the surface so that’s no risk of the base color to be peeled off. But the problem lies in the second paint (in this case, Plaid/Folkart brand of Baby Pink) seeping under the craft tape making it all not crisp and smooth as I expected my stripes to be..huhu!
I read on the Internet that to ensure that the second color won’t seep under the craft tape, once we have tape down the strips, paint the base coat color along the edge of the craft tape. Let it dry and then only paint the second color. I will have to try out that tips on my second trial.
Since the first stripe trial result is not so great, I decided to touch up and make it more smooth (which in the end is not as satisfactory as I hope..sigh!)
I used the Plaid decoupage finish to seal the rose motif.
Another angle of the rose on the striped tin.
This is how it looks like after the sealer has dried out and before I decided to mess up the creation.
Somehow I feel that the Baby Pink stripes are too striking so I thought of shading some of the area in Berry Wine and Taffy. I haven’t varnish the end product but I am not happy with what I’ve done so far. Mistakes are hard to be avoided especially in craft experiment like this. I just hope I won’t do the same mistake next time.

3D Decoupage On Crackled Tin
December 15, 2011 by admin
I’ve done the green crackled effect on the tin for quite some time. I thought I will just glue the iris motif from the decoupage napkin on the surface. However after I have pasted the purple flowers on green, the motif was drowned and it looks so bad..(err I should have taken some pictures to show how decoupage can go wrong..isk)
After thinking over the bad outcome, I decided to take out the air dry clay and start rolling the clay into thin pieces. Of course I need to cut another set of the iris motif for this makeover..sigh! After pasting the napkin motif onto the thin clay and cutting out the clay using craft knife, I quickly pasted each pieces on the tin. You have to do this before the clay dries out otherwise it will break.
The next day I colored the back of the clay which could be seen on the tin in lilac. On the third day I varnished the whole tin.
Next time if you want to use dark color for decoupage surface you can try doing this 3D decoupage technique. It is not that hard but certainly needs more effort compared to normal decoupage technique and takes longer time to complete the project.

Decoupage Class & Napkin For Sale
November 28, 2011 by admin
It’s been a while since I have decoupage class. This time since the participant was on time and I realized that she has ample time to complete the whole decoupage task, I decided to let her trace some wordings on the plate and color in using acrylic paint.
I usually thin down the paint using Flow Medium rather than plain water. Of course you need to have liner brush to make the color in process easier.
I think for the decoupage next class I need to prepare more simpler and shorter phrases if I were to add in the writing part in the syllabus..heh!
Oh, I have some new decoupage napkins/tissue to sell. You can check out my FB to see other collection of motif.
My current favorite is this sweet, pink roses.
For those who want something different than the normal leaves and flowers, you can buy this rooster and brown country checkered motif.
Check out the folder – Decoupage Tissue For Sale for all kind of motif that you might need for your decoupage project.
