Video tutorial - Decoupage for beginners

Hello everyone,

I am Shylaa here to share a video-tutorial on DIY decoupage on a MDF coaster.

Materials required: 

- MDF Coaster set

- ITD Collection A3 Decoupage rice papers
- White Gesso
- Sponge brush

- Acrylic paint

- Sand paper

-Varnish

Method:

1.Take the rice paper and mark the outline shape of the coaster and cut it with scissors
2.Prime the MDF coasters with white gesso and allow it to dry.
3.The next step is to apply a very thin layer of Decoupage glue (you can also try with Modpodge, gel medium, or any PVA glue)and lay the rice paper and press it cardstock so that no air bubbles are present in between.
4.Allow it to dry for 15 mins and then sand the sides of the coaster with fine grain sanding paper to remove the excess paper.
5.The next step is to paint the backside and edges with Folkart acrylic paint. (You can also add stencils or foils if you wish)
6.Once it dries completely, add some metallic waxes over the edges for additional highlight.
7.Then add multiple coats of varnish over it to seal. (use wooden varnish for a better life)
