Decoupage

One of the best ways to breathe new life into an old chest of drawers, a table or an old shelf is decoupage.

Decoupage is a certain technique for decorating objects (mainly furniture, drawers, caskets, vases, etc.) by transferring the cut-out pattern to the surface of the object and further coating this surface with varnish, for the long-term effect.

DIY marble

No one will argue that marble is now insanely popular. And in fact, marble or “marble effect” products look really very stylish. But would you think that a marble pattern can be obtained with a simple nail polish?

You will need:

Subject of painting (dishes, cups, pots, etc.),
Disposable container
2 or more nail polishes (different colors),
Transparent fixative varnish (for coating),
Acetone,
A few toothpicks,
Adhesive tape (thin).

First, you need to use tape to mark the boundaries of the picture on the subject. Then fill the container with water and add in turn there a couple of drops of varnish of each color (each new color is superimposed on top of the previous one).

Now, with a toothpick, swipe from the center of the varnish to the sides of the strip and curls. Next, dip a part of the object (previously outlined with duct tape) in a container with an ornament of varnishes and leave to dry.

In the end, you just need to cover the resulting pattern on the subject with transparent varnish, dry and that’s it! You will get a wonderful marble pattern!

Carpet

Yes, yes, you can create a carpet yourself and be sure that no one else will have such a carpet. Making it manually is quite simple.

First you should choose a fabric. It does not matter what kind of fabric it will be, but it should be durable and unpretentious in the care - it is easy to clean and absorb moisture.

Next, you will need the following materials:

Paper (the denser the better)
Scissors,
The cloth,
Paint (or high-quality pens for drawing on fabric).

Now you need to draw a stencil, then cut it out any. Then attach a stencil to the fabric, and circle the outline of the cut parts. Then you can remove the stencil and continue sketching the circled ornament on the fabric.

Let the product dry and voila, your carpet is ready!
