Step-by-step instruction for decorating a house for tea bags

It is necessary to begin with buying a wooden workpiece of a house. It is quite easy to do this: modern shops and online shops for handicrafts represent a wide selection of pieces for decoupage. The next step will be grinding our tea house sandpaper with a small pile. This will remove possible roughness and roughness. All internal and external surfaces of our workpiece are covered with white building paint. That the paint has laid down an equal and dense layer, and there were no not painted areas, after drying we repeat the procedure of painting once again. Now we choose the napkins that will be used by us for the production of interior finishing of all the walls of the house. Their color and ornament can be anything. But do not complicate your work, do not choose a napkin with a pattern that will have to be joined from one wall to the other. Choose something that looks like an ornament of our drawing. When the color was defined, we cut out from the napkins details in shape and size similar to the inner walls of the house. Consider that the napkins, when you miss them with glue, stretch about half a centimeter in each direction.

Now, in turn, every detail of the house on weight( do not put on the surface) is processed with a hair spray.

The next stage requires special care and diligence - we start to glue the wallpaper of our tea house. If after several attempts you did not succeed, do not despair. There is always the opportunity to simply paint our house from the inside with bright paint.

After the wallpaper is pasted, let the house dry, and then gently remove the excess napkins and sand their bulging edges with sandpaper with a rough pile.

Let's get to the roof. The picture of the roof of the tea house can be made with the help of a conventional toothpick: on the construction putty put on the roof we paint small scales, imitating the tile. And leave to dry. When the roof of the house has dried, you can sand it a little with sandpaper and paint it in the color you like. The next step is the selection of napkins for the outer decoration of the tea house. And then you can choose absolutely any ornament or pattern, even if it is simultaneously located on several surfaces of the house. Draw a napkin with a manicure scissors and glue to all the exterior surfaces of the house on a diluted with water PVA glue( in a consistency of 1: 1).Excess glue is removed. Our decoupage of the tea house comes to an end with our own hands, and there are several finishing steps: for example, we paint the bottom of the house on both sides in the color of the roof, add the elements of decoration along the perimeter of the windows and the door of the house. At this stage, we suggest fantasizing and giving a touch of uniqueness to your work.

The final stage is varnishing all our work. And the house for tea bags is ready.

We hope that everything worked out for you, and our tea house decoupage master class step by step turned out to be useful to you. With such an original gift, you will not be worth anything to please and pleasantly surprise your family and friends.
