Mini canvas wall clock with volume decoupage...
Hello crafty friends!
Excited to start my second inning with Itsy bitsy....and for this post I wanted to make something very special which I was planning to do from long time..and new release of decoupage papers.. really gave me a kick start for this project...😁so let's start with project and it's detailed step by step instructions..
For this project I have used 12 pieces of 3"*3" mini canvas and base is 3/4" thick plywood in 14"x14".( I explained my project idea to my husband he helped me in this base cutout n fixing the clock parts n all 😊💕)
Step-1: first I did sanding with sand paper.. ( though board was quite smooth)...then roughly arranged all mini canvases as per my imagination and checked ..that how the arrangement is looking 😊
Selected two decoupage design to use for this project..and cut it into 3"*3"size and middle part is 6.5"x 6.5"
Then I decoupaged each mini canvas using little birdie decoupage glue and these 3"*3" cutout designs... I really love these small cute decoupage canvases... getting more n more ideas😄
Next I have applied little birdie white chalk paint in the middle area and then masking the white boarder area gave black chalk paint in rest outside area. I used two coats of both.
Next I decoupaged in the middle part where I am going to fix the dial...(it's not stuck at this stage)
Then gave black chalk paint edges to all mini canvases...at this step I wasn't sure to use black ..as I was liking the plain decoupage canvas look.. without any boarder...but then it's done😔😬
After placing and arranging all mini canvases I did stenciling with archival inks...this really changed the look of each design...
I wanted to use some rough texture to break the monotony ..so I have later used Little birdie sand texture paste with fingers so I can control..as the area is very small...then wasn't sure of that white texture look so to cover it ( not completely) then I have used gold guilding work only on some raised areas.and Iam very happy with the result...then finally I have distress with brown n black archival inks on gold guilding parts and all edges..fixed the MDF clock dial-in it's place using gel medium.
At this stage I thought that my project is complete..but then I got the idea from my leftover paper pieces to use that cute little butterflies somewhere on my design..so I did volume decoupage..
For this I applied required number of butterfly design pieces on sospeso sheet using sospeso glue..once it got dried.. I did fussy cutting..and gave volume to my design using tea light candle and wooden embossing tool.
