Hello everyone.
This is Anita here and I have a something wonderful lined up for you in the entire month of September....new product, techniques and lot of information.
We are talking about DECOUPAGE----yes!!!!! I am sure you all must be very excited as much as I am because I am going share some super awesome products with you, which will give a new meaning to the art of Decoupage.
What exactly is decoupage??
In very simple term, it is the art of adhering paper on to various surfaces like wood, glass, metal plastic etc. with glue and then applying coats of varnish ot lacquer on top to seal the desin and make it water proof and dust proof.
Plaid Craft has brought a whole new revolution to the art of Decoupage with their chalk paints, acrylic paints, the most popular Mod Podge, crackle medium, varnish and also many tools and accessories to help us in this art.
I am so happy to tell you that Crafters Corner has all and YES !!!!! ALL the products that you can use for decoupage right there for you.
And its my promise to you that once you use chalk colours you will not touch any other paint when it comes to Decoupage. WHY ??? You will soon know!!!!
What is Home Decor chalk paint???
It is a high pigment acrylic paint with ultra matte finish used for various surfaces like wood, metal, glass etc. if this paint is used, then the surface requires on preparation of primaring or sanding, thus saving a lot of time and labour. You can directly use it. It is for indoor use and is not dishwasher safe. However the application of Home Decor wax or varnish can make it suitable for outside.

How much coverage do we get from one bottle??
One bottle of chalk paint has 8 fl.oz that covers 20 feet of surface year and so it proves to be very economical.This however, depends upon the thickness of paint and its application.
Is it same as chalk board paint or different?
No both are different. Chalkboard paints will cover the surface to give a chalk board finish where one can write with a stick of chalk, Whereas, chalk paints are acrylic paints used for covering or restoring surfaces.
Are they different from Folkart Acrylic paints???

Are they different from Folkart Acrylic paints???
Yes , they are two different products. Although both are acrylic paint, Folk Art acrylic paint has a sheen to it ie it gives a glossy coat but chalk paint gives Ultra Smooth Matte finish. In my video, I show you the difference.

ReplyDeleteHey, very nice tutorial Anita. A very basic question, what is a placemat? is it made up of paper or wood? And whee can we buy that from?
ReplyDeleteThanks Manu...
Deletea place mat is a flat mat that can be placed on the table, side table and can be use as table mat. or for any other display purpose.
It can of wood or plastic or even glass. You can get it cut locally .
Well explained. As I m new to this art and experimenting on my own, this was of great help.
DeleteOne more query . Are we suppose to use the specific type of colour with crackle or any acrylic or chalk paint will give the same effect? TIA.
