What will be needed for reincarnation
- acrylic paint of any desired color,
- stencil with the desired pattern,
- sponge for washing dishes,
- stationery knife,
- Plastic Raquel (as an alternative, a plastic line with rounded edges is well suitable),
- Mounting film.
For the decor chose the most none of the marine attribute - anchor . Made stencils of suitable size, with which we can transfer the silhouette of an anchor directly to the surface of the box.
Stencil - This is a filling with a glue layer, on the surface of which an anchor contour is cut or any other.
Reincarnation process
A tree box in one layer painted acrylic paint color of the sea wave - it is one of the main in the Coastal Style palette.
When painted, the style of deliberately negligent, leaving some plots did not scratched
Left - yellow box to painting, right - after painting
In order to transfer the stencil on a wooden surface, we removed from the film anchor silhouette.
It turned out the real sticker in the form of an anchor, which you can also decorate something)
Further on the film with the adhesive layer secured the assembly film.
Mounting film Helps gently remove the stencil from a paper substrate, transfer it to the workpiece that is to be painted, and fasten the stencil on it.
How it's done. It is necessary to place a stencil in front of me and to fix the corner of the assembly film (on the free surface of the desktop). Next, moving from this corner, stages (fragment per fragment) to secure the film on the stencil (plastic rocket or the line helps to gently spread the film so that there are no air bubbles under it).
Stencil on the decorative surface is fixed in the same way. First, it is necessary to fix a small area around the edge, and then slowly rushing the stencil, turning statenly throughout the area.
Do not rush and do not forget to smooth out the film - so that there is no chances!
When the stencil is fixed on the working surface - remove the mounting film. We do not apply efforts (the glue layer on the film is minimal) and do not twitch the film - so as not to break the stencil.
After removing the mounting film, once again stroke the cuts and the free contours of the stencil - so that they fit tightly to the tree.
Then we take a sponge for washing the dishes, omit in the paint and fill in the inner surface of the stencil. When working with paint, the sponge must be clean and dry!
The silhouette of the anchors covered the paint 3 times, withstanding small pauses so that each previous layer time to dry
When working with paint is complete - we give it well dry (about 4-8 hours). After that, you can remove the stencil - engage it with the help of a stationery knife and remove it.
Perfectly smooth contours!
In our example, the decor style is deliberately negligent, he admits not scratched areas and hurry. Therefore, for dyeing the most wooden base, only acrylic paint in one layer, without primer and fixing, was used.
In such conditions, when removing the stench, small fragments of the paint detached from the tree, but it only worked for the entire idea with deliberate negligence
If your idea assumes perfectly smooth color over the entire surface, then it's well to work well the foundation.
Final strokes
The decor of the box can be finished at this stage - it definitely looks more interesting than initially. However, the pair of final strokes will not interfere with)
To make the box acquired an even more careless look, you can add paint splashes onto its surface (in absolutely random order).
The knobs from the twist of the jute cord will bring up the drawer as much as possible to the style, popular in coastal towns. In addition, they will also be functional!
And now you can definitely put a point in the transformation of the most ordinary wooden box!
Looks like that about which they say "like with pictures"?)
