I prepared these hangers for my goddaughter’s wedding, because every bride tries to think through all the little things before a very important event in her adult life. Of course, a wedding dress will look more advantageous on such hangers than on ordinary pieces of wood. Moreover, this is not a disposable item - the hanger will fit perfectly into your wardrobe for many years.
We will need:
- wooden hangers;
- fine sandpaper;
- napkins for decoupage;
- scissors, synthetic brush;
- acrylic paint in white and black, matte acrylic varnish;
- lace or narrow ribbon in white or black; glue "Moment-crystal";
- candle;
- decoupage glue or PVA glue;
- acrylic wood putty, palette knife or plastic card and small stencil (optional, needed if creating a relief).
I bought hangers at the store that were not varnished. So I didn't have to remove the varnish before working. If varnished hangers are used for work, then it is necessary to sand off the varnish, remove dust and degrease the surface.
1. Apply black paint to the hanger in those places where we will later create scuffs. After the black paint has dried, rub the painted areas with a candle.
Apply at least two layers of white paint over the entire surface of the hanger (with intermediate drying). After the paint has completely dried, sand it with sandpaper. In those places where the hanger was rubbed with a candle, the white paint will be removed and black abrasions will form. We adjust the intensity of abrasions using our own effort.
2. Layer three-layer paper napkins, cut out or tear out the fragment you like. During the delamination process, I discovered that the second layer of the napkin was also painted, only less intensely. I found this effect interesting and decided to use both layers of the napkin for decoration. Using a fan (or flat) synthetic brush, glue the selected fragments onto the hanger, alternating the first and second layers of the napkin. Glue with decoupage glue or diluted PVA glue (apply glue over the napkin fragments).
3. On one of the hangers, I decided to create a relief texture using putty. This stage of work is before painting the hanger with white paint. We dilute a small amount of putty with water until it becomes thick sour cream. Place the stencil on a hanger and use a palette knife or plastic card to apply putty to the stencil. We clean off the excess and, without waiting for it to dry, remove the stencil upwards. We wait for the putty to dry, lightly sand it with sandpaper and paint it with black and white paints, as described above. Decorate with napkins.
4. After the napkins have stuck and completely dried, we coat the hangers with varnish. We apply at least three layers of varnish with intermediate drying of each layer, and if necessary, sand the surface with sandpaper. Be sure to remove dust with a cloth after sanding.
5. If desired, you can “mute” the intense black color of the upper layers of the napkins with diluted white acrylic paint. This stage of work is permissible only after varnishing, otherwise we risk spoiling the fragments of napkins unprotected by varnish. We cover the fragment with diluted paint and immediately remove the paint with a cloth. Apply a few more layers of varnish on top. We determine the required number of layers visually, depending on the brand of varnish.
6. Hooks of hangers can be decorated with lace or ribbons.
The final option I chose was to wrap the hooks with narrow viscose tape. To do this, lubricate the hook with Moment-Crystal glue (transparent) and wrap it with ribbon along the bias from top to bottom, starting from the “nose” of the hook. At the wooden base we fix several turns of the ribbon with glue. After the glue has dried, the hangers are ready for use.
Crumple the paper and tear it into many small pieces. Don't get carried away with this pleasant process. There should be just enough paper to cover the surface of the hanger.
Apply paint to the hanger and let it dry. Unfortunately, a photo is not included, but we are sure that you can handle this step without it.
Use glue to glue the crumpled paper onto the hanger. The pieces may overlap one another, that's okay.
The lower bar can be left without paper, although it all depends on your imagination. You may want to paint it in a special way.
You need to cut out designs that suit you from the fabric. They should not be too large; after all, the hanger does not have such a large surface.
Using glue, glue the cut pieces of fabric onto the hanger. Don’t overuse the quantity, but don’t limit yourself either. Apply the same glue over the fabric and let dry. If desired, you can use varnish, but usually decoupage glue is also suitable.
That's all, your cute decoupage hanger is ready. You can hang anything on it: clothes, cards or jewelry. Or you can give it to a friend and you will know that when she opens the closet, she will definitely remember you.
A wonderful hanger with a tender-shy teddy bear can appear in your home after studying this lesson
The master class was prepared by the company "Base of Art"
For my idea, I used a motif from a decoupage card from "Base of art" "Teddy 2". This little bear blew me away!)) To pair it with, we’ll take an MDF panel with a thickness sufficient for strength.
The beginning of all beginnings is priming. If the workpiece is made of MDF, be prepared for double coating with a primer, because... MDF absorbs it well. I covered the workpiece using a flat bristle brush. When everything is dry, we begin to carefully sand the surfaces until smooth. Sidewalls too!
We work with decoupage card in the classic way :)
We rip the motif out of the card, leaving more white around the edges.
We thin it out using masking tape, preferably 2-3 times.
Then soak the motif for 2-3 minutes.
Dry or shake off excess moisture from the picture. Cover the surface with glue and apply the motif. Apply another layer of glue on top. Gently smooth the surface of the picture with your finger, expelling air bubbles. And leave until completely dry.
Afterwards we sand all the edges of the image very well.
Preparing the paints. The motif I chose has a very nice combination of dusty blue, blackberry and pale yellow. I adapt to it and choose acrylic paints: whitewash, natural umber, kraplak, ceruleum, Neapolitan yellow, indigo.
I begin to finish painting the background with a round bristle brush, take paint on it, and blot it on a napkin to remove any excess. I always take different shades, achieving heterogeneity in the background. The bear cub is lighter, the edges are darker, i.e. the same shades, just adding umber to them.
Let's add depth to the work. I painted the sides to match the bear cub, mixing natural umber and mars orange. Then we apply the dry brush technique. To do this, take a flat bristle.
I took the indigo color, wet the brush well in the paint, then dried it very well on a napkin.
With this method The main thing is to move the brush parallel to the surface! This is the only way it will turn out beautiful.
And without fanaticism) Then I repeated the same thing with whitewash.
We begin to draw the details, creating an interesting background. We will paint the stems of plants) To do this, we take a very thin synthetic brush and paints: chromium oxide, black, indigo, white.
With the last two we draw flowers. We dilute the paints with water, and after each movement of the brush we lightly blot the drawing, directly with our finger - we reduce the brightness.
Let's complicate the work a little more: add silver leaf! The whole difficulty with gold leaf is to be able to stop in time and not cover everything with it)) Using a thin synthetic brush, we draw an arbitrary pattern using glue for gold leaf (mordan). We wait the required 15 minutes until the glue dries slightly. Smooth the gold leaf over it and remove the excess with a bristle brush. To prevent the gold leaf from oxidizing over time, we apply shellac varnish on top of it. After applying glue for gold leaf and shellac, rinse the brush with alcohol or acetone.
Since I'm going to make a hanger, I prepared two cute hooks in advance. I also covered them with gold leaf, unevenly. To dust their shine a little, I walked over them with a sponge with bitumen, just a little. I also walked her, a little later, through the corners of the hanger itself. And here and there on its surface.
Craquelure time! It all depends on which brand of craquelure you take. I have a two-step Creall. I apply it according to the instructions: spread 1 layer evenly with your finger and dry. I apply the 2nd layer strictly on top of the first, and only where I want to get cracks. With craquelure, as with gold leaf, the main thing is not to overdo it. There should not be too much of it, and it should not be symmetrical. The main thing is that it emphasizes the beauty of the work and does not interrupt it.
This type of craquelure is rubbed over with artistic oil. I used whitewash.
We tint the edges of the work with bitumen.
Now you need to wait a day until the oil and bitumen dry)) Then we cover all the beauty with water-based varnish, two or three times is enough. Add some splashes of white acrylic paint.
I also coated the reverse side with a primer and glued a stylish decoupage card "Damask fon 8" from "Base of art" onto the entire surface. It turned out simple, fast and very beautiful!
We screw on the hooks and add some details in the form of cute figures. All!
It’s a pleasure to be in a house where it’s cozy and beautiful, and if you leave, you’re in a hurry to come back. We can make all the beauty with our own hands, even with little experience in decorating. Decoupage clothes hangers are a good opportunity to try your hand at decoupage. Buying wooden unpainted coat hangers or a towel rack is not such a big problem, but they are the same, like toy soldiers, and we will breathe the warmth of our hands into them.
A simple, ordinary wooden hanger can be decorated in such a way that everyone you know will be delighted. Decoupage hangers can be made using decoupage or regular napkins, or pictures with roses. And there is another option for decoupage of the same hanger - make it in a marine style, using sandpaper, acro paint, craquelure, varnish, and shells.
To work you will need:
- Wooden hanger.
- PVA glue.
- White acrylic paint.
- Craquelure varnish.
- The brush is thin and flat.
- Napkins or pictures of “roses”.
- Finishing varnish (aerosol, acrylic, or alkyd varnish).
- Acro paint, yellow and metallic.
First we need to prime our wooden hanger with white acrylic paint.
Then the napkin or picture is peeled off, which you will use to decoupage the towel rack.
Carefully, using small scissors, cut out fragments from the napkin (in this case, roses, large and small.
We try not to leave any excess, we cut along the contour. You need to figure out how many colors are optimally needed.
Next, take PVA glue and dilute it with water in a 2:1 ratio in a separate container. That is, 2 parts glue to one part water. For acrylic and glue, it is better to take synthetic brushes, since hairs will come out of a brush with natural bristles, and the bristles will leave grooves on the surface.
We apply the drawing to the tree, begin to glue the fragment with a brush and glue, working from the center of the drawing - to the edges. You need to get all the air out from under the drawing. We make sure that there are no folds left.
So, gradually we decoupage clothes hangers. Choosing a pattern for wooden hooks.
After the yellow paint has dried, paint some metallic paint on top. Then we will “age” these places.
After the paint has completely dried, you need to take a craquelure varnish, and begin to cover those places that should be covered with “artistic cracks”. The more varnish, the longer it will take to dry.
To work with a large surface, it is more convenient to divide the work into stages so that the craquelure varnish does not dry out. For example: first the “hooks”, and then the hanger itself.
We finish the work with varnish.
The varnish can be aerosol (automotive varnish was used in this work), or water-based acrylic varnish (can be bought at a hardware store). Acro varnish is easy to apply, does not take long to dry, and does not have a chemical, pungent odor. You can use alkyd varnish - it is not afraid of moisture, but has a pungent odor.
Which finishing varnish you choose is up to you. After the varnish has dried, screw the handles into place.
Decoupage the exact same hanger, just in a different style. This decoupage will appeal to lovers of marine themes.
To work you will need:
- Sandpaper.
- Acrylic paint in blue and white colors.
- Pictures on a marine theme.
- Varnish for craquelure.
- Shells, sea souvenirs.
- PVA glue.
- Glue for gluing shells.
- Tassels.
At the very beginning, we must sand the surface with sandpaper, wipe off the dust with a damp sponge, and then begin decoupage. We layer the pictures or napkins, leaving the top layer.
We place napkins or pictures on the surface of the hanger, and use diluted PVA glue to glue our pictures. We are waiting for complete drying. After this, apply blue acro paint with a brush. We wait for it to dry and apply craquelure varnish on top of the blue paint.
And after this varnish has dried, we apply white acro paint on top. All that remains is to apply the finishing varnish (water-based acrylic or alkyd).
The final stage is gluing the shells.
Here you have a beautiful marine style hanger ready.
Simple, ordinary wooden coat hangers can be decorated to create original items. If you decoupage the hangers, they can also be used as a gift for loved ones. You can take whatever drawings or napkins you want - it depends on who you are doing this work for. Funny drawings with kittens, birds, and so on are appropriate for children. For adults - flowers, ornaments, etc.
To work you will need:
- Wooden or plastic hanger.
- Pictures or napkins for decoupage.
- PVA glue.
- Acro paint
- Craquelure varnish.
- Finishing varnish (acrylic or alkyd).
- Brush.
- Candle.
- Sandpaper.
All finished wooden hangers are varnished on top. This varnish must be removed with sandpaper. We wipe off the dust and degrease with any alcohol solution (vodka, alcohol, cologne). If you are going to create an aging effect, craquelure varnish is a must, without it you won’t get cracks.
Next, you need to paint the hangers in a dark color - this can be done either with acro paint or with dark water-based paint. The bottom layer of paint should be darker than the top. When the paint dries, we pass a candle along the side parts of the hanger. This way we will achieve the “aging” effect in these places.
Next, when the dark paint has dried, paint on top with white acrylic paint. dAfter the white paint has dried, we sand along the sides of the hangers. We ended up with “flaking paint.” Then we take napkins or pictures, glue diluted 2/1, and decoupage the hangers. We cover the top with several layers of finishing varnish. For craquelure: after covering with dark paint, we do decoupage, then craquelure varnish, and finally white acro paint. Coat with final acro varnish.
The video shows step-by-step decoupage with hearts on a clothes hanger.
If you don’t have napkins on hand, you can print the pictures on a printer.
The current fashion for handmade things is quite democratic. We can choose different techniques and trends, a variety of materials, we can make a gift by hand, decorate the interior or knit a one-of-a-kind blouse. Any product will be “on the wave”. However, not all of us have the necessary skills, and sometimes we don’t have enough time or patience to create truly beautiful things. Decoupage is a real find for needlewomen. Essentially, decoupage is appliqué, but it looks like real painting.
The now popular decoupage technique can help you decorate any objects and surfaces in the house: lampshades, trays, decorative pillows, clothes... There are materials for decoupage on fabric, wood, ceramics, etc. With the help of simple steps you can decorate the living room, the nursery, the kitchen, and, perhaps, any room in the house. Today we will talk about kitchen design.
In order to make a beautiful and original hanger for kitchen towels, you will need:
- small piece of plywood (approximately 15x45 cm)
- multi-layer napkin with a pattern
- 4 large wooden beads
- 4 small red beads (they can be matched to the color of the picture)
- linen twine
- clear acrylic varnish
- Crochet hook
- wide tassel
- simple pencil
Operating procedure:
- Cut out drawings on a napkin, divide the images into layers, separating the colorful layer.
- Lay out the cut out drawings on the board and mark their outlines with a pencil for convenience.
- Each image must be glued separately, passing over them with a brush with varnish. If bubbles or wrinkles appear, they must be smoothed out immediately.
- After the varnish has dried, drill 4 holes at an equal distance from each other at the bottom of the board.
- Using a crochet hook, thread linen twine into each of these holes from the wrong side, string a large wooden bead on the front side, a small bead on top of it, and again thread the twine through the hole of the large bead and back into the hole on the board. On the wrong side, tighten the ends of the twine and make a couple of knots.
It is important that the surface that we are going to decorate is monochromatic and light enough: against a dark background, a design cut out of a napkin may be difficult to see. Decoupage does not require much time and effort, but it will transform any thing.
