My first decoupage canvas (TUTORIAL)

Now I understand the feeling of waiting modeling paste to get dry, I was very impatient… This is something new for me. It’s my first project on canvas and I have never worked with modeling paste until now, this is so cool.

Long time I was thinking what to do with these two canvases and last week I got an inspiration from some youtube videos and I started my new project.

Materials that I used:

- Canvas

- Napkins

- Decoupage lacquer and glue – gloss

- Paintbrush

- Modeling paste

- Acrylic colors

  First I applied the the napkins on the canvas.

 Then I spreaded the modeling paste on the corners (as a frame) and I waited to get dry.

After that I painted the frame with dark red acrylic color and then with ochre color.

Here is the result.

Golden mobile pouch

My close friend is getting married and going to live in Australia. In few days she is flying. I will miss her a lot but thank god we have internet so Australia is not so far.

Her going away party was last Saturday and we had great time. As a gift me and my friends prepared a small gift because her luggage is limited. We decided what to buy and my job was to buy the gifts. We bought her a filigree earrings because we knew that she likes that kind of stuff. I also picked her one of my handmade cards, and I made her this golden mobile pouch. She loves handmade stuffs.

The next morning, after the party, she sent me a message that she likes our gifts and she is already using them. In the afternoon I was in downtown for a walk and a little shopping and I accidentally met her :) She was going to meet some friends and she had the earrings in her bag. She showed them to me and they looked much better on her. I was very satisfied. She also showed to me the golden pouch and her cell phone in it :)

I wish her a safe trip!!!

I also made a Christmas card with crocheted gift on it. This card is traveling in Belgrade and maybe is already there. Hope they will like it.

I made some Christmas gifts for my friends, but for now I’m showing you just this one. It’s a mobile pouch. I made two of them, one for me and one for a friend.

In the back side I sewed a button.

The dimensions of the pouch are: Height: 11cm; Width: 6cm.

And this is mine pouch:

Cards with Christmas Tree Motif

Few years ago on Ravelry I found a pattern for Christmas Tree Motif and made couple of them. They seemed small to me and I changed the pattern for a bigger Christmas Tree Motif. I used the Christmas Trees as an ornaments attached on a curtain. 

Now I made two Christmas tree with thin thread to attach on a paper card. I decorate the card with a ribbon and glitter glue. The height of these trees is 6 cm. You can see the pattern for a bigger tree below the photos.

Here Is the pattern for a bigger Christmas Tree:

Christmas cards 4 & Star card

These days I’m occupied with making Christmas cards. For these cards I used a craft punches with snowflakes and stars. I made the card with stars for my mom and dad... My dad’s coworker has a grandchild and my parents are going to visit them. I wish a happy childhood to the baby.
