Decoupage History

It is believed that the decoupachable technique is rooted in medieval times when various household items decorated with decorative paper elements. Some sources argue that residents of Eastern Siberia are involved in the emergence of this area. It was the distant XII century. Then the way to decorate the item items has spread in China. Local masters quickly learned to the new-fashioned technology and began to decorate the tenderloin all that it was considered appropriate - lights, furniture, windows. Maritime trade development led to the emergence of decoupage art in European countries.

According to written mentions, the first items decorated with this technique appeared in Germany in the XV century. Then the passion to create original things passed to the masters of Venice - real connoisseurs of art. The Venetians decorated furniture items with the help of carved fragments on the eastern subject, giving their creations a uniqueness and feature. In those days, this type of decoring was called "the Poor Art" (Art Povera), since everyone who could not afford the luxurious furniture, could easily create a masterpiece on his own. This creative occupation was fascinated even the court lats of the French king Louis XVI, which expressed their creative abilities, decorating decorations and interior items.

Over time, decoupage techniques appeared and actively developed in the houses of England. And at the end of the XIX century, the art of decoration of items has become massive. So the first decoupage cards appeared. At the beginning of the 20th century, Zarovsk neighbors were interested in decoupage, where the needweld direction was transformed into a separate industry. It was in the United States that the production of the first goods for decopaping technology was established, which was the impetus in the development of a separate orientation in the designer business.

Transform old or ordinary items to unique with various techniques, but one of the most popular and affordable decoupage. The paper uses affordable materials and tools. All that need "special" is paper or napkins. And on how to master the decoupage for beginners, we will tell below. Nothing super-expensive buying. Glue, napkins, varnish, brushes, scissors. That's the whole set of necessary tools.

Decoupage for beginners: We collect everything you need

To start briefly about what and with what will have to work with. Generally decoupage - fastening based on material or paper with drawing. In order for the drawing longer to erase, it is covered with several layers of varnish. Here you briefly describe the decoupage technique.

Decoupage - technique, which from ordinary things allows you to do something special

Base

As the foundations for decoupage, any weakly absorbent base is suitable. What can this technique apply on? On the following grounds:


As you can see, the list is solid. Not suitable for decoupage only very porous bases with plenty of irregularities. And so you can decorate everything: from dishes of any kind to furniture and doors (and you can both the surface of the doors and glass inserts).

List of instruments

Tools need a little:


From the tools all. Is that still need stationery - a ruler, pencil, gum.

Consumables

Now we are talking about consumables. We will not speak about napkins and paper here - a separate item about them. Besides them to make a decoupage with your own hands, you will need:

That's all that may be required, so though it requires a decoupage for novice cash investments, but not very large.

Napkins, paper

For decoupage, napkins and paper with drawing are used. They stick to the surface are covered with varnish. There are the following types of materials for the type of decor:


In general, they still use special pastes to create volumetric images, regular photos from which the bottom layer of paper and other drawings are removed. But it is not easy to work with them, and this is not a decoupage for beginners, but for those who are already developing their skills.

Napkin Decoupage: Takes

The main idea of \u200b\u200bdecoupage is to decorate the surface with the image or pattern. The process of creative and concepts "right" or "wrong" is not. Surfaces and drawings are different, because various methods are used. Just need to choose a way that you get better.

Decoupage bottles - a good start for beginners

The easiest way to start mastering the decoupage from gluing large fragments. When you learn to glue napkins without folds, it will be possible to move on - to master the methods of volumetric decoupage or the use of the worn lacquer. In the meantime, we'll figure it out how to work with large fragments.

Preparatory work

First of all, you need to remember that the napkin decoupage for beginners will have to start with the preparation of the base. It must be smooth, smooth, without a pits, Shcherbinok, Horbikov (except those provided specifically). To help - putty and sandpaper. After the surface is aligned, the workpiece is covered with ground (selected by type of material) and then covered with white paint.

Mandatory white paint phase. The fact is that the napkins are very thin, and when gluing they become translucent. If they are pasted on a white surface, the drawing remains stronger. If the surface is colored or dark, it will noticeably flex, there is no proper effect. Therefore, paint should be applied even on plastic or ceramics and possibly in several layers.

What to do with a napkin

To begin with, it is necessary to decide which the napkin to use.


How to decide, tear the napkin or cut elements from it? In size pattern. If fragments are large, they have clearly indicated boundaries, they are cut. If the drawing is small, one will stick one near the other, they are torn. In this case, it will be easier to combine the edges.

Methods of gluing

Select how to glue napkins for decoupage can be used only by experiment. First of all, we are determined with what we will glue. Can:

  • Varnish.
  • Special glue.
  • PVA - divorced or not.
  • Glue stick.
  • Egg white.

To glue on the varnish is no worse than the glue. But after drying, you cannot do anything, the napkins become practically monolithic with the product. If you don't like something, there will be no chance to change. Therefore, newcomers most often use PVA glue - it is cheating to work with him convenient.

If you decide to use PVA, you will have to think more (or try) to use it in a divorced or non-divided form. Most often it is bred by ordinary water in a ratio of 1: 1. When such an adhesive composition is used, you need to be prepared for the fact that the napkin sweeps from the water, can reach in different directions, from careless movements to break. In general, you need to adapt.

Pencil glue - also a good option ... If you manage to straighten all bubbles and folds. It is normal, it turns out on smooth, slippery surfaces. If the surface is rough, it is much more complicated. Working with egg protein is safe, but it is specific, so if you want, you need to try.

What and where to apply the adhesive composition

The first one's first object for decoupage is usually chosen by a small size. In principle, it is not bad. But it is desirable that the form is simpler: without large number Figs.

If the object of decoration is small, brush or fingers can be used to apply glue. The same "instrument" then spin the napkin. Brush apply flat or correct - to whom more convenient. Many more like to work with your fingers - you can feel all folds.

When gluing napkins for decoupage, you can apply glue to an object or napkin. Do it and so. When applied to the napkin again, there are two techniques:

  • The glue is applied evenly on the entire glued piece, applied to the base of the middle. Motion moves from the middle to the edges of the air bubbles and folding folds.
  • The middle of the fragment is poured some amount of glue. Next, the actions are the same: we put on the basis, smoothing.

In the second technique it is easier to cope with bubbles and folds - with a large number of semi-liquid glue it is simpler.

What and how you will do - no matter. It is important that there were no folds and bubbles

You can also enroll if the glue is smeared on the ground: make a small puddle in a place where you are going to stick a fragment, put, and, lifting the edges, drive out bubbles and spray folds.

Decoupage of level surface: glue + iron

When decorating a smooth surface, you can do it easier than through the entire napkin to drive bubbles. On the projected surface, we apply a layer of PVA adhesive or wrapped with a pencil glue. I smear well to not formed "tracks". Let dry. To speed up the process, you can take a hairdryer.

On the dried surface, we put and recall the napkin, smiling it with your hands. It is laid onto a piece of paper for baking and hot iron from the edge.

Decoupage for beginners - can try something like this?

Due to the fact that glue is heated, it impresses the napkin. Usually it turns out quite smoothly. When everything is glued, over the top it is still glue and give it to dry. This is perhaps the most easy way Master decoupage for beginners.

File + water and glue

Decoupage for beginners using a file for documents (film is chosen downward), water and glue. This is good if you decorate will be big drawings (cut). In the middle of the file, we pour a little clean water, into it, face down, lay the carved fragment. It is carefully straightened by kicking bubbles and rabbing folds. In the pool of water it is easy.

When the fragment is stripped, raising the edges of the file and drain the water. The drawing remains sticking to the smooth film. In this state, it is convenient to "try" and seek the best place for it.

Having found that site where you want to put the decoration, we apply the drawing on the film and start smoking it. This is a very difficult moment. It is necessary to achieve the adhesive of at least one edge of the napkin. After one of the edges of the image was fixed, gradually smoothing and lifting the edge of the film, we achieve the napkin remains on the base. If you act gradually, we grapically glue the picture to the base, bubbles or folds does not occur. This method is suitable as a decoupage for beginners.

When one edge adhesive, everything is already easy

The last stage is a sticky napkin with dilute PVA glue. After its drying, the protective layer of varnish is already applied.

Several secrets

This cannot be called ways to glue napkins for decoupage. These are small tricks and tricks that can help faster or better cope with folds.

  1. Before working, the carved fragments are wetted with water from the spray. The napkin is stretched, it is no longer compressed. If it became strongly swarming, it is stroked. Further use as usual. Since the paper is already stripped, it is almost not stretched. Everything goes easier.
  2. Moisten a fragment acrylic varnish in the form of an aerosol. At the same time, the napkin will become tough, it does not stretch and does not form a fold. But backed, it no longer passes the glue, because the surface is absorbed by glue and glue the treated napkin on it.
  3. Wash the napkin, which already lies on the base (dry) and only then misses it with glue. There is a difficult to explain, watch the video.

Eliminate flaws

If the surface is decorated with small ribbon fragments, from which it is necessary to obtain a single whole, tassel or fingers with the edge of the fragments. If somewhere there are inhomogeneity of the color, we are dragging the paint of the desired shade and proceed to the translucent base.

When the surface has already become not very wet, but still not dried, you can be thin brushes and acrylic paints Draw parts, add brightness and clarity.

The next step is the design of the edges of the product. There are different approaches. Somewhere I have to cut the edges exactly, painting the sidewalls, somewhere you can wrap the napkin on the back side and glue there. In general, this is also a whole science.

Bringing to the finish view is not less creative process

After that, you can leave the product for drying. To speed up the process, you can use a hairdryer, but it is necessary to keep it on a solid distance, move all the time and follow to keep evenly. If, after drying, you saw that there is a fold on the glued napkin, you can still fix it. We take fine-grained sandpaper paper, sand. We act gently in order not to damage the drawing around.

Lakovka

The dried product is covered with acrylic varnish on water based. You can use the other, but this is recognized as the best. One layer first applied, after drying it. This can also stop, but if active operation is assumed (caskets, chairs, etc.) layers of varnish can be more - three or four.

Stock Foto Products in the technique of decoupage

Study technique is not bad, but not knowing the possibilities, it is difficult to imagine what you can do and what can be expected. Several photos will help you decide what you can or want to do.

Turn the old table in the new and very unusual - it is cutup

Stools - this is also an art object

This technique is called reverse decoupage - the glass is glued on the glass.

It is believed that its origins of the modern decoupage takes from the beloved fun of the court jams of medieval France, which decorated furniture with colorful paper fragments, imitating painting. Paper in those times was much thicker of delicate German napkins, each motive was under thoroughly and neat cut out, which happened the name of the method (Decouper - Franz. "Cut").

It was not necessary in the invention of the decoupage and without the Chinese: it was the elegant lacquered furniture that they made to order for the nobility served as a prototype that masters of those times were trying to achieve.

A little later, at the courtyard of the English Queen, the decoupage stepped even further - he began to actively use for decorating smaller items: caskets, comb and details of the lady toilet. Now the items created by the masters of the 18th century are classified as objects of art and serve as an example of the imitation for modern needlewomen.

The second birth of decoupage survived in the 20th century, easily sitting on the canvases of famous artists - Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse. Now the technique has become available to absolutely everything: enormous opportunities in the search for art objects and the emergence of fundamentally new materials raised decoupage to a new level of development.

Looking for "Canvas"

Received under the French courtyard "art of beggars", in England decoupage adopted a form of luxury. Now this technique reveals huge prospects for an inspired look: as a basis for creativity, you can use almost everything that the soul wishes. Some restrictions can only create the type of the selected foundation.

All potential art objects can be divided into two groups:

  • Pordly, which are well taken and absorbed paint, firmly hold onto the decor. These include wood blanks, plywood and MDF, substrates made of fiberboard, unhappy ceramics. Preparation of the surface of such objects entirely depends on their purpose: the workpieces for creativity are sold sashkars and completely ready for work, if you take an old casket or box, then you will have to my own colorful layer on your own, to shrink before smoothness.
  • Smooth surfaces, the dense structure of which does not want to keep paint - glass, porcelain, plastic, metal. The paint layer with such objects can come together with any mechanical exposure, as well as the end of the item in water. Therefore, bottles and banks, vases and plates are recommended before decorating to apply a soil that increases the grip of paint with the surface.


A completely special decoupan link are objects of fabric. They do not require complex training - a fairly simple washing of the product before work. The decoupage on the fabric is rarely used in clothing, since the glipp of a napkin or card makes the fabric texture more coarse. But this type of decoupage is actively used to decorate various accessories.

In the search for an art object, it is important to take into account the level of skill: if you are only experiencing your strength, then small, flat items - panels and plates, which do not require considerable art, will become the most advantageous option, which do not require considerable sketching. Using smooth, non-porous foundations, you can easily wash off a failed job and start moving away, while the tree and plywood is intolerant to such procedures.

Paper solo

Decoupage has a lot in common with the application, at the same time, it differs from her special artwork, painting - paper motifs in it are obliged to imitate painting and firm with the surface. Work with the different types Paper motifs has a number of nuances and subtleties.


  • Napkins are the most popular and favorite material. Their thin colorful layer is easily merged with the surface without forming the height difference, and in the abundance of motifs you can choose the most interesting options and combinations. At the same time, the napkins are extremely complex in work - each extra drop of glue can cause them to break them, bubbles and folds are often formed on the surface. Requires experience and skill to create a real masterpiece with a napkin.
  • Decamental maps are pleasing not only by abundance of motives, but also by various paper density. If the density of more than 45 g \\ m is specified, be prepared for the thinning of paper, soaking the motive and sufficient troublesome work. Thin cards are perfectly glued according to the principle of vinyl wallpaper, but require several extra layers of varnish to hide the height difference.
  • Rice paper - material, ideal for decoupage. Do not river, do not form folds and easily fall even on curved and intricate surfaces.

Decoupage as a set of technician and methods

Modern decoupage is not just a technique or method, this is a whole direction in art, combining the classic cutting of motifs and a number of artistic techniques.


  • Art Decoupage Combines the classics of napkin equipment with artistic treatment with acrylic, tempera or pastel. Not only the light and shadow can be added, but also a common color background, a long-range picture of the picture and other fragments.
  • Decoupages Point-to-Point. Traditional types of painting can perfectly complement the plots and emphasize attention. Particularly popular was the complement of the motifs of contours - a point painting, outlining individual parts of the drawing with contour pastes give the volume.
  • Volumetny decoupage - an extensive direction in which plastic drawing can be used to give volume polymer clays, Foamiran and transparent structural gel.
  • Silhouette Decoupage - Creating a canvas pattern at which cards and napkins are used to form the main objects.
  • Paip Art. - Unconventional use of napkins in the creation of reliefs and polychromic forms.

The manifold of technician and paper motifs, a rich history of decoupage and practically unlimited possibilities for decorating objects spawned a number of work styles: Shebbi-Chic and Vintage, Provence and Country, modern and minimalism, baroque and glamor. Decoupage - the art in which you will never be boring, because its prospects and opportunities can be limited only to your fantasy.

The video tells about the use of lacquer-glue for decoupage. Luck glue is designed to stick decoupapable cards and napkins.

Agree that all unknown words attract and sit down to themselves, as if the light of the moths. Here you hear, for example, the word, or decoupageAnd the hand involuntarily reaches the search engine in the computer. Meanwhile, the mysterious and mysterious ghanuer, frivitis and decoupage nothing else like species, looking at which they understand that in one way or another necessarily came across them in ordinary life. So, about the first two "strangers" we told not so long ago, so today it is time to talk about decoupage. So what is the decoupage, to whom and why is it needed?Decoupage is on furniture, dishes, fabrics, etc., which is to cut images from a variety of materials (paper, leather, tissues, wood, etc.) and subsequent sticking or attachment to some other way on different types Surfaces for decorating.

From the history of decoupage

The origins of the decoupage belong to the early Middle Ages. The first time he was mentioned in Germany at the end of the XV century, where the furniture was decorated with carved pictures. The peak of enthusiasm decoupage fell on the XVII century, when Venetian furniture was entered into fashion, decorated with inlays (images or patterns applied to the surface and, as a rule, differing from it with color or material), made in Japanese or Chinese style.Local masters skillfully cut out various images, then glued them on furniture surfaces and to protect them with several layers of varnish. With such applications, Venetian furniture makers simulated expensive oriental inlays. This method It was much cheaper, but used no less demand.In Italy, the art of the furniture decoupage was named Arte Povera, which means "the art of the poor". However, today is extremely rarely found and it is very expensive, and Italian style imites a lot of modern furniture designers.A very fashionable decoupage was under the French court during the time of Louis XVI. Decoupage was engaged in the queen Maria Antoinette herself with his court ladies, which as decorations used magnificent work famous artists Fragonar and Watto. Unfortunately, these works of art were destroyed during the Great French Revolution.A wide distribution among all segments of the population decoupage received in England in Victorian epochWhat was associated with the appearance of inexpensive sheets on which the collection for cutting collections were printed. By the middle of the XIX century, decoupage took a massive phenomenon among the British, which for their work most often used floral motifs, pastoral scenes, an angels images. From England, decoupage moved to America, where he was widely known until the Second World War.As for Russia, here the interest in decoupage appeared at the beginning of the 21st century, having received a subsequently mass distribution. Decoupage technique is relevant today, it is used in many areas of our life, and not only by professionals manufacturers, but also amateur masters.

Where today apply decoupage


Where only today is not apply Decoupage - It can be found everywhere, and sometimes even where there is no way you do not expect him to see. The old decoupage technique is again in fashion and is widely used when decorating the garardo items. With decoupage make up handbags, hats, shoes, fashion decoration and.As before, the decoupage technique is used for registration - it can be dressers, cabinets, chairs, armchairs, mirror and glass surfaces of furniture and much more. With the help of decoupage, kitchen utensils can be accompanied: trays, capacity for bulk products, decorative cups, plates, pots and chairs, a variety of jars and bottles. The emergence of new materials allow you to decorate almost any surfaces, so the decoupage technique can be used to design such objects as boxes, chests, (including solar), christmas decorations, candles, gift wrapping, a variety of wooden and metal products, photo albums, notebooks, covers for passports and other documents and even. Modern technologies allow you to create three-dimensional decoupage , as well as print on a copy or printer, pictures of various content that can be decorated with a variety of item. It also exists enough the new kind Decoupage from sleeps, as well as from fabrics and on fabrics. In addition, the possibility of using such technicians as artificial formation, gilding, cracker, volumetric and artistic decoupage give unlimited space for creativity and fantasy.

Decoupage in design and interior decoration


IN lately The most popular character is worn decoupage styleslike millistribi, ethno, simplicity, and victorian styleWhat is primarily due to modern trends in the style of interiors.Decoupage gives tremendous opportunities for, while it can be both simple and volumetric. Most simple option Decoupage is the usual cutting of pictures from magazines, multicolored newspapers or from somewhere - it does not matter where you can use with a particular chic and gloss. Just imagine how it will look in your bedroom chest of drawers, decorated with fairy colors, exotic plants or a certain old ornament for embroidery, mosaic, thread or lace.Decoupage is very appropriate, moreover, with the help of this technique, you can create a room in that style that the child wants to see. For example, you can decorate the feet of a table lamp or frame for photos of your favorite cartoon characters. And you can make a baby cot, a wardrobe, a table and a chair in the technique of decoupage. However, it should be remembered here that when the child's workplace is clearing, you need to show some caution so that in the future too bright pictures did not distract it from classes.The decoupage occupies a special place, as it is often the masters with the aim of artistic transformation of the room use everything that will only fall under their hands - kitchen headsets, buffets, tables, chairs, trays, wine bottles, decorative plates and other suitable dishes, switches, and even Some household appliances. Decoupage is particularly elegant in combination with a cracker technique when, for example, a conventional flower pot turns into an old, cracked, the subject that visually takes the appearance of the real relic.

Decoupage do it yourself

In order to create, the first thing you need to decorate with the subject that you will decorate. For novice masters, it is better to use something simple, for example, a lid from the box. Then you need to find a suitable picture - it can be a clipping of the magazine, a photo, or something else that you decided to use to decorate the product. So now you can proceed to work.The surface for the decoupage must be clean and dry. If it is wooden, it must be primed, for which you can use acrylic. Then you need to cut the prepared picture, attach it to the surface and determine the place where you will stick it.After that, the picture must be smeared with PVA glue, and then lubricate the surface of the decorated item. After that, the picture must be carefully pressing to the surface and glue. Then it is necessary to smooth out the picture (roller, napkin or fingers), remove excess glue (soft cloth or cloth) and give a product to dry.If necessary, you can additionally decorate or sequins. To do this, the picture you need to be covered with one layer of varnish and after it dries, apply the necessary elements of the decor.

Now the product needs to be covered with several layers of varnish, and each layer requires drying. The finished result should look like an absolutely smooth and smooth surface, the boundaries of the picture in no case should not come across the varnish. By the way, I found an interesting historical fact: up to 40 layers of varnish decorated in the art of the decoupage, and each layer of breadth, because no one knew about the existence of synthetic quick-drying varnishes, and in some cases the manufacturing process was delayed to several years.

Of course, the method described by us is the most simple way decoupage creation However, having mastered it, you can go to the next step and try to make a decoupage, such as leather, or wood.
