Hi everyone! Amylove here excited to share with you my first Helmar creation! When I received my product I was flooded with ideas!! I am always in need of pretty packaging so that is where I began. I was eager to see how well the Craft & Hobby PVA Glue would work for decoupage and it works amazingly!!!
Materials needed:
Glassine bags
Pretty napkins
Paint brush
Water
plastic wrap
To prepare the napkins, I begin by separating the layers.
I use a small paint brush dipped in water to outline the images I want to use and then gently tear out image from napkin.
This gives the edges a softer look and allows the image edges to more easily blend in to the project.
Due to the delicate napkin and the amazing consistency of the glue, I diluted the glue just a bit. I used the ratio of 4 parts glue to 1 part water. I applied the diluted glue to the bag with a paint brush, only adding the glue where I want to adhere the image.
I lay the image over the glue and then wrap my finger in plastic wrap to smooth out the image.
I then add the diluted glue over the top of the image working from the middle out.
The bags turned out beautifully and make the perfect pretty packaging!
