Exclusive passport covers. Detailed master class

I hope that someone my advice will help.

So.

1. Choose suitable pictures. A ruler to measure on the cover, what size should be a picture (it is desirable that the size is not up to the edge, and to the recesses around the ceiling perimeter and before the bend). In Word or Photoshop, cut pictures to the desired size, add, remove unnecessary, etc.

2. Print the pictures (I have a jack) on the photo paper (I buy the cheapest in the office store). I cut the pictures and cover 3 layers of acrylic varnish on a water basis (I buy in the construction programgations "Acrylic panel on a water basis"). With an intermediate good drying. Usually I applied the next layer perpendicular to the previous one.

3. After all layers were dried, put the picture in the water temperature somewhere for half an hour. Recently I soak and had to run away to work. I decided: they will be talked so risks. After watching 5, it turned out to be at home, the pictures were not rascisley, but became muddy. I risked, processed, as usual and after drying, the pictures became clear. You can soak several, do not stick together - verified.

Gently pick up the color layer and remove the paper.

5. Cland the picture face down on the smooth table. ATTENTION: Watch the table to be clean, otherwise all the crumbs will then applied the picture in the form of white dots.

6. All air bubbles should be expelled from under the picture. We seek the picture and the table as it were, do not be afraid, will not stick. If the picture is wet, blot the napkin.

7. Very cautious movements start rolling the remaining paper layer. You can not make sharp movements, allow stretching pictures or folds. Hold on the fold - this place will be a white strip. I spoiled at first not one picture (and now it happens), you must take it.

8. After removing all the paper, you have a lacquer film, on which the image has been fixed.

This is a finished film (exhaust) without a paper layer (do not even leave the gun)

9. Dry the film. (Sushi because it rarely make one cover, more often somewhat immediately. Therefore, everything happens in stages, but the films will dry up instantly. As soon as the insanity is lacquered, they immediately straightened)

10. I take a simple synthetic cover itself. In our city, the choice is "huge": either a glossy cover and a gold coat of arms either matte with embossed (as in a joke "What better shirt to wear: crumpled or with a stain?"). I choose from two evils less - without embossing. But the paint is very bad on this cover, gathering drops. Therefore, it was pre-sloped with a cover and wipe with alcohol.

The back of the cover stabbing Malayksky scotch tape (it seems so called). Paint and varnish is difficult to rub. Well, if it happens, the cotton wand, moistened with the spirome, will help us out.

Cutting speaking tape.

11. Throwing 2 times with an intermediate drying (here you see the difference between 1 and 2 layers of paint). Ichus a little top layer - it will be even more. (I use acrylic Belil Maimeri (artistic)

I mix the lacquer with water 1: 1 (for decoupage I don't use PVA + water for a long time, and varnish + water - more like).

13. Launch the diluted lacquer half the cover and film and the bottom. I apply a film to the cover. Plus the films, compared with the napkin - can be removed many times and apply - it does not break. They first put, first with a brush, and then in moistened in the lacquer fingers need to be expelled bubbles of air from under the film. After once again check: the bubble appears - save. If the films of the film are preoccupied, picker, bubble and stick again. If the shoe is tight, it is better to gently pierce a spinner with a needle and drive the air.

14. After the printing on the cover was well dried (I usually leave for the night), place the edge of the cover (acrylic paint, contour, potal - with a brush, sponge, finger, etc.)

15. At the end, cover 3-4 layers of varnish.

16. Detected the remnants of Maimeri's vitre varnish and made one finishing layer them - the result I was very pleased! - A very durable film is formed (like after lamination), and, that is especially nice, the cover does not stick even at high temperature.

17. Sorshi in semi-bent form (and the plotted cover and after the coating of varnish).

I apologize for the quality of the photo (the main time for creativity is dark).

Ready work:

On this cover I tried a 2-component cracker.

Positive moment - the crack turned out. Negative - on the bending of the glass lacquer after drying, it was completely (I guess a possible conflict between two means, although in all of them on a water basis and one Maimeri)
