I have wanted to do decoupage for a very long time. I studied various master classes and videos on this type of needlework. We are currently renovating the kitchen and have a lot of old utensils that can serve as interesting decor.

Since the time of my grandmother, three boards have been hanging in the kitchen, which have long lost their appearance and required either restoration or being sent to a landfill. So I decided to change them.
To get started, I needed to purchase varnish, acrylic paint, napkins and a flat brush. Everything else was in the house.
What we need:
- wooden plank (you can purchase a new blank)
- PVA glue
- flat and thin brush
- napkins for decoupage
- artistic varnish
- brown and white acrylic paint
- hand sanitizer or plain alcohol
- sponge, water, file, scissors


First you need to prepare the board. We process it with alcohol for degreasing. I didn't polish it, I decided to try it like this. Anyway, the idea was to make an aged kitchen item.


Using a sponge, apply white paint with patting movements, first on the sides, and then on the entire surface. I didn’t process the working surface of the board, but what if it’s still needed not only for decoration.


Let the paint dry. Craftswomen recommend waiting 12-24 hours. I did not wait long, because I really wanted to start the main stage.

We select fragments of a napkin, divide the napkin into three parts and take the top one with a pattern. We carefully cut off the necessary fragments and try them on the board. You can use only one fragment, I have two of them.


Now the most interesting. You can immediately attach a napkin and stick with glue. But it is worth remembering that the napkin is stretched from moisture and can be easily damaged. Therefore, I used a different method. In my opinion, more acceptable for beginners.

We put a napkin face down on the file, pour a little water so that the drawing gets wet. We carefully (!) Remove air bubbles with a brush. Drain excess water and attach the drawing to the board.


Again, we correct the drawing very carefully from the center to the edges, so that it is even and there are no bubbles. We take the file.


Now you can apply glue with water (1: 1) with a brush from the center to the edges. After applying the glue, dry the work with a hairdryer or wait.


Next, decorate the board to your taste. I applied brown paint with a sponge along the edges and a little on the surface to create an antique effect.




After drying, varnish is applied. It is advisable to apply it 2-4 times.


It turned out here is such a kitchen board with peppers. In principle, as for the first time, like nothing. Due to the fact that the board was previously covered with varnish and it peeled off, the craquelure effect came out without a special varnish.

Creativity is an impulse of the soul, its manifestation in the best colors and, most importantly, the opportunity to use your talents to good use. For example, decoupage of cutting boards for the kitchen with napkins is now very popular. The topic of decoupage is so extensive that you can simply discuss it ad infinitum.

If you explore the technology of decoupage painting on your own, you can create incredible products with your own hands that can decorate a house or become an original gift for loved ones. If we consider the decoupage of the board step by step, then we can see by personal example that the technology, in principle, is not as complicated as it might seem at first glance.

Technology:

  • The surface of the board is sanded;
  • Impregnation with a primer is carried out;
  • White acrylic paint is applied;
  • Drawing is applied;
  • Lacquering is carried out;
  • Each layer of applied and dried varnish is sanded.

Advice for beginners. Do not rush to decoupage the boards, you need to look at examples of work, study the master class below, and only after that start doing the work yourself.

For the first time, say, for the period of studying decoupage, it is worth preparing:

  1. Glue, which is suitable for special, but PVA can also be used, however, over time, it turns yellow;
  2. Acrylic water-based varnish, which can be purchased at any store selling building and finishing materials;
  3. White acrylic paint;
  4. Artistic acrylic paints;
  5. Napkins, which can be ordinary household or specially selected because of the original pattern;
  6. Sandpaper of small and large fractions.

How to decoupage a cutting board step by step: photos and examples

Basically, decoupage of kitchen boards is carried out, both old and new. It is wood that is considered a particularly pliable material, which is pleasant and comfortable to work with. The design of the cutting board can be a completely different ornament, even a map of the world, or it can be an icon, chess pieces, and the like. Now, on the eve of the New Year holidays, there is a great demand for boards designed in the direction of this theme.

In general, it is worth learning such processes for creating decoupage as:

  • Surface sanding;
  • Soil grinding;
  • Sticking a picture from a napkin onto a board.

If in the future it is planned to use the board, then it should be covered with a particularly durable and waterproof varnish. It is advisable to choose parquet for floorboards or yacht, they are the most durable and have excellent characteristics.

If the product is decorative, then one layer and the use of acrylic varnish is enough.

By bringing your ideas to life, you will be able to discover not only a lot of talents in yourself, but also an unreal ability to create a miracle, to give your family gifts handmade, which are much closer and more pleasant to the heart than purchases made in a store.

Decoupage boards with napkins

Making decoupage using pictures from napkins is not easy, but possible.

The effect of the product will not be long in coming.

  1. You need to pick up a napkin on which the desired pattern will be. It should be thin, like a veil, so that you can easily transfer the picture to the board. In this case, the canvas with the image of an apple will be considered.
  2. To create chic means to feel every moment of the creation process as carefully as possible. That is why, to cut out the picture, it is worth using small and neat manicure scissors.
  3. The place where the apples will be located on the board must be carefully primed. To do this, you need to circle the stencil of the picture with a pencil, and fill the coating with a primer inside the contour. After that, while the primer dries, you need to separate the lower, unnecessary layers from the napkin. The material should be as thin as possible.
  4. Through the use of acrylic primer and a brush, a primer is applied. Some use foam rubber sponges to apply, but if the drawing is small, then it is better to take a brush.
  5. When the soil begins to just dry out, you can stick a napkin. To do this, dilute the glue with a small amount of water. Gluing is carried out from the top of the napkin. The adhesive composition is applied little by little with a brush. In the same way, the napkin is applied to the board neatly and in small parts. The formation of folds and bubbles is categorically excluded, which will not only spoil the appearance of the product, but also the durability of decoupage.
  6. If, nevertheless, defects have formed, then you can get rid of them with the help of an ordinary spoon. Even without much experience, anyone who wants to make the perfect surprise can carry out the removal of defects.
  7. Once the previous process is completed, acrylic varnish can be applied. For this you can use foam rubber.

After the first layer has dried, you can decorate the outline of the board. In this case, different scales or waves will be created, to whom, as you can see better. It is worth noting that only the contour of the scales is created, since their inner space should be empty. Inside they can be filled with craquelure or gilded paint. Either one will look perfect.

Be sure to highlight the contours of the apple with acrylic paints to make them clear and bright.

For the design of the contours, mother-of-pearl paint with a yellow tint is suitable. Thus, the effect of pouring on apples is created, and they seem to be real. Next, another layer of varnish is applied, and the product is left to dry completely.

What is required to create a competent and beautiful decoupage board

Previously, decoupage was considered the art of the poor, just like cheese balls, which were literally made from improvised materials.

In general, why this type of creativity is called budget:

Any creative process is always fascinating in itself. If you want to create a unique decorative item for your home with your own hands or make a gift for a loved one, then a beautiful decoupage of a wooden cutting board will be the most suitable option.

Materials for decoupage boards

Using decoupage technique, it is possible to create truly unique things that will be distinguished by their individuality and originality. When answering the question of how to make decoupage boards with your own hands, you should first mention all the necessary materials for this process.


Any novice master should purchase a set of tools in the form of:

  • the wooden board itself (by the way, you can use a used item that will become new after registration);
  • glue: both special decoupage glue and ordinary PVA are selected (minus PVA is the yellowness that appears over time);
  • acrylic water-based varnish - sold in stores building and finishing materials. If the board is decorative, any lacquer is suitable, if in the future it is used in everyday life, it is worth choosing a yacht or parquet type of lacquer that has improved performance properties;
  • acrylic snow-white paint;
  • acrylic paints for artistic painting of different colors;
  • napkins or any images you like (magazine clippings, printed pictures, etc.);
  • scissors, brushes, sponges, sandpaper.

Stages of creating a decoupage cutting board

Thanks to a detailed decoupage master class, the process of creating a unique beautiful board for the kitchen will not become something complicated. All work will take about 2-3 days. Working with wood is pleasant and convenient.

As a picture for a board, you can use themed drawings in the form of vegetables, fruits, dishes, or choose original unusual images: a world map, a chessboard, a newspaper page, etc.


Step-by-step decoupage for beginners includes several main steps:

  • Sanding the workpiece.
  • Ground surface grinding.
  • Pasting the image on the board.
  • Product varnishing.

Decoupage the board with napkins

Following the instructions for decoupage of a cutting board, you will be able to get a high-quality original piece of furniture. For decoupage, you can choose any multilayer napkins. Only the top thin layer should be transferred to the board.

So, the decoupage process begins with the preparation of the board. An even wooden product is covered with the first layer of acrylic paint with a brush along the fibers. If during the process the wood fibers begin to separate from moisture, then after drying they must be sanded.


After the first layer has dried, a second one is applied, but with a sponge, so that no streaks are visible. Again, everything dries well. To speed up the process, you can connect a hot air dryer.

When the product is completely dry (about 24 hours), you can proceed to the imposition of a fragment of a napkin with a pattern. Before this, the desired pattern should be carefully torn out of the napkin. You can transfer the napkin to the surface of the board in several ways (wet, dry), the main thing is that there are no wrinkles and air bubbles.

For beginners, the dry method is suitable: the prepared fragment is applied to the board and, using a brush dipped in an adhesive solution, begins to gently stick. In this case, you should not rush, so as not to tear the napkin.

If the folds are still formed, then you can smooth them out with an ordinary spoon or a rubberized roller. After removing all wrinkles and bubbles, you can leave the product to dry.

After the workpiece has dried, it is time to draw the contours of the image. Also, using colored acrylic paints and a sponge, you can create blurry edges. To do this, with wet movements, the paint is applied with a sponge to the right places.


The “splash” on the surface looks very impressive, as in the photo of the decoupage of the cutting board. To create such an effect, an ordinary toothbrush is dipped in the paint of the desired shade and, after running a finger over it, the droplets scatter over the surface.

As soon as the paint dries, the process of varnishing the product begins. The selected varnish is applied to the entire surface of the board in several layers, while each of them must dry well. Now the cutting board is completely ready for use as a full-fledged kitchen item.

Decoupage is considered a very budget type of creativity. It is possible to purchase all the necessary materials and tools in specialized needlework departments, in ordinary hardware stores, and in online purchases. The main thing is to love your work and enjoy the creative process.

Photo of decoupage cutting board


For work, we need: a wooden board, white primer (or white acrylic paint), sandpaper or mesh (from 600 to 800 numbers), a beautiful fragment of a napkin, scissors, PVA glue, acrylic paints, a brush for decoupage and synthetic acrylic (thin No. 1 or No. 2 and thicker), foam rubber.


We select the side on which the decor will be located and apply one layer of white primer to this side of the board. Dry and sandpaper. As a decoration, we need a motif of a suitable napkin, which we carefully cut out with scissors along the contour. Then we stratify the napkin (we take only 1 layer out of 3) and apply it to the board. Be sure to have the same distance from the side edges of the napkin to the edges of the board. There should be a little more distance below than on the side. And above the distance should be even greater than below.


I have a mushroom motif. I had to cut it with small nail scissors, but it's worth it.



 Having cut the motif along the contour, I glue it on PVA glue, pressing it with a flat brush from the center of the motif to the edges, removing excess glue and air. Land. For protection, I apply one layer of acrylic varnish. I remove the extra wrinkles with sandpaper (if any).


We paint the board with small strokes with a small brush in different directions. In this way, we go around all the small details, then with a larger brush we cover the entire board with orange.



 We carry out the application of color in two layers with intermediate drying.



 Now we create a volumetric background with acrylic paints, which is called "acrylic fur coat". To do this, we take an old paint and with a palette knife or a thick brush we lay it out in a dense layer on the board, making the surface embossed. If there is no old paint, the paint can be thickened: putty, flour, semolina, or hold the paint a little in the air. I thickened the paint with flour. At some point, when the relief paint has dried up, you need to check that sharp tips of the paint do not form, press them with your finger and remove them until the paint is completely dry.
