Decoupage on metal

Decoupage bug has bitten me. I have completed many decoupage projects. I had learnt decoupage few years ago. My first decoupage was on an aluminum plat, about which I have written in post Decoupage.

 Few years I did not work on any decoupage project.This year completed many decoupage projects in the process of decorating my craft room. One with a craft table  and also on a shelf to keep in my craft room. And recently on mdf box, with paper napkin.

 This project also part of decorating my craft room. As I paint sometimes , I have collection of paints and  brushes. Recently when I visited Itsy Bitsy shop I bought some metal containers and holders. These can be bought online also. Here it is :

 As the first step , applied primer:

After application of primer

 I had some decoupage papers with images of old streets of Italy. I don't know whether streets in Italy look like this , but the shop keeper told be this is decoupage paper with images of streets in Italy :). Here are those decoupage papers:

Decoupage paper with image of streets in Italy. That's what the shop keeper told me :)

 Next step to attach the papers on the tin:

I have used modpodge for this project , as the size of the tin is small. And painted with colors matching to the design on the papers.

It is ready to hold paint and brushes

 Now it is ready to hold the paint and brushes I have.

Many craft learners ask me whether to use fevicol or modpdge  for decoupage. In case the object is big in size like shelf or table etc I use fevicol to stick the paper and to give gloss I use modpodge. If the object is small I use modpodge to stick as well as for gloss. 

Made one more box with Warli design , soon will share about that.

Love , laugh and live the life to the fullest,
