Day 5

I've done a little tutorial for today. For new crafters it's a back to basics 3D decoupage tutorial.



I'm going to show ypu how to make this flower embellishment. You can apply this technique to any 3D decoupage image.



First of all you need to choose the decoupage image you are going to use. This is a digital sheet I have printed at home. There were originally two images on rhis sheet and as you can see I have already used one.



Cut out all of the pieces from your decoupage sheet.



You are going to start with the biggest image first. To give the image depth gently shape the image. You can shape it with something like your ruler, but honestly most of the time I just shape it with my hands.
Now take the next smallest image and shape it in the same way.



Turn this piece over and add adhesive. Make sure you add plenty of adhesive because you don't want it to sag in the middle. I have used 3D glue gel but you can use foam pads if you prefer.



Turn the image over and carefully place it onto the base image matching the design carefully. I find it best to stand over the image so I can match it accurately.



Do the same thing with the next smallest piece.



Continue in this manner until all of the pieces are used up. Remember to work from the largest image to the smallest and it will work everytime.

Enjoy.
