This master class will discuss how to decorate a jewelry box with a built-in photo frame.
To paint glass you will need:
1.Acrylic paints of any favorite colors. You can use 2-3 shades of the same color scheme, or you can decorate the drawing with more colors, at the discretion of the needlewoman.
2.Degreaser (alcohol or nail polish remover).
3.Transparent acrylic varnish for creativity.
4.3 brushes: thin - for applying contour, medium - for applying color, flat wide brush for coating the finished work with varnish.
5.Glass from a photo frame.
6. Favorite drawing.
Before starting work, the surface of the glass on which the design will be applied must be degreased using a special degreaser, alcohol, or simply a nail polish remover so that the design adheres better and lasts longer.
Then prepare a drawing that will be transferred to the glass. In this master class, a drawing from the actress coloring book series was selected. The glass must be applied to the surface of the drawing. You don’t have to secure it with anything, you just need to make sure that it doesn’t move on the paper. Using a thin brush and black acrylic paint, an outline is applied; as a result, the drawing on the glass and on the paper should be as identical as possible.
When the entire pattern is transferred to the glass, it must be allowed to dry in accordance with the instructions for the paints. Because different brands of paint may dry differently. When the circuit is completely dry. You can start decorating using your favorite colors. Since the drawing on the base is black and white, only the artist’s imagination serves as a template for determining the color of each element.
When the pattern is painted, it is necessary to dry it as much as possible, it is better to leave it for several hours. To see the result of the work, you need to turn the glass over and the colored paint will remain under the outline. Once the drawing has dried, you need to cover it with acrylic varnish in 2 layers, allowing each layer to dry. The instructions for the varnish indicate that it is completely dry after 8 hours, so the glass can be left to dry overnight at room temperature.
All that remains is to return the glass to its place - in the frame under the photo on the box and the work is completed.
This individually painted box will make a great addition to your interior or a unique gift, and the process of creating it with such a design will help cope with stress.
Success in creative work!
