Summer is here so it’s time to add some color to our kitchen. Get your boring jars and transform them into cute and colorful jars with the decoupage technique. It’s easy and fan!
What you’ll need
Decoupage glue, a brush, scissors, patterned napkins, acrylic paints (I used yellow, antique green, antique rose and dark lila), medium grit sandpaper,matte varnish
How to:
Coat the surface with primer. Allow to dry.
Apply the acrylic paint in the colors of your choice . Allow to dry.
Cut out the parts you need from the napkin.
Divide the napkin by removing all the white layers. It is only the patterned top layer of the napkin you want to use.
Add decoupage glue on the surface you want to place the napkin.
Lay a piece of your cut napkin onto the area to which you applied the glue. Place carefully the pattern from top outward (pressing with your fingers) in order to avoid air bubbles.
Add a second layer of decoupage glue all over the napkin. Allow to dry.
Apply a coat of varnish all over the jar. Allow to dry.
Depending on the finish you want to give your project, you can use matte, satin or gloss varnish.
