Napkin Decoupage - City on a Canvas

A napkin with a bustling city design is decoupaged onto a canvas. Great for the teenager's room.

1. Paint the canvas with off white craft paint.

2. Paint rain grey craft paint with light strokes on the canvas whilst it is still wet.

3. Let diluted black craft paint (and also the other colours) run down the wet canvas. You may “throw” the paint onto the canvas with a brush. Let it dry.

4. Cut out the napkin to the desired size and only use the top layer.

5. Apply a coat of glossy decoupage lacquer onto the whole canvas.

6. Place the napkin onto the canvas and apply another coat of glossy decoupage lacquer. Let it dry.

7. Pour pumpkin craft paint into a refill plastic bottle with a tip and paint along the edge of the napkin design.

A Wooden Tray with Wooden Discs

The small wooden serving tray is painted with black craft paint and covered on the sides with small wooden discs. A piece of cork is cut to size. Glue the cork inside the base of the tray.

1. Paint the tray with black craft paint.

2. Cut a sheet of cork to fit the inside of the tray. Place it inside the tray.

3. Glue wooden discs onto the outside of the tray for decoration using mounting glue.

Hair Clips decorated with Foam Rubber and Sequins

Hair clips decorated with self-adhesive glitter foam rubber, sequins and beads threaded onto a piece of silver-plated wire.

1. Draw two circles using a pair of compasses and cut out.

2. Cut a piece of silver-plated wire measuring 20cm and thread on a bead. Double over the wire.

3. Thread sequins and beads onto the wire and finish with the foam rubber circle. Twist the wire and cut off the ends.

4. Remove the backing paper from the foam rubber and attach the finished decoration onto the hair clips.

5. Attach the other circle onto the hair clips; i.e. onto back of the first decorated circle. The hair clips is now sandwiched between the foam rubber circles. Squeeze.
