In this master class, we will discuss how to decorate jewelry boxes with a built-in frame for a photograph.
To paint glass you will need:
1. Acrylic paints of any favorite colors. You can use 2-3 shades of one color scheme, or you can decorate the picture with a large amount of color, at the discretion of the needlewoman.
2. Degreaser (alcohol or nail polish remover).
3.Transparent acrylic varnish for creativity.
4.3 brushes: thin - for applying the contour, medium - for applying color, a flat wide brush to cover the finished work with varnish.
5. Glass from a frame for photos.
6. Favorite drawing.
Before starting work, the glass surface on which the drawing will be applied must be degreased with a special degreaser, alcohol, or simply nail polish remover, so that the drawing lays down and lasts longer.
Then prepare a drawing that will be transferred to the glass. In this master class, a drawing from the coloring-actistress series is selected. Glass must be attached to the surface of the picture. You can not fix it with anything, you just need to make sure that it does not go on paper. Using a thin brush and black acrylic paint, a contour is applied, as a result, the pattern on the glass and on paper should be as identical as possible.
When the whole pattern is transferred to glass, it must be allowed to dry in accordance with the instructions for the paints. Since paints of different brands can dry in different ways. When the circuit is completely dry. You can do it using your favorite colors. Since the drawing is based on black and white, only the artist’s imagination serves as a template for determining the color of each element.
When the pattern is painted, it is necessary to dry it as much as possible, it is better to leave it for several hours. To see the result of work, you need to turn the glass over and the colored paint will remain under the contour. The dried-up drawing needs to be covered with acrylic varnish in 2 layers with drying of each layer. The instructions for the varnish indicate that its complete drying is achieved after 8 hours, so the glass can be left to dry overnight at room temperature.
It remains only to return the glass to its place - in the frame under the photo on the box and the work is completed.
Such an individually colored box will serve as an excellent addition to the interior or a unique gift, and the process of creating it with such a pattern will help to cope with stress.
Success in creative work!
