Kirti here. This is my bidding farewell post to expressions craft. and i have designed a quirky birthday layout usning floral stencil and circle sentiment by expressions craft. Have a close look on the pictures
Today I am back with another simple yet beautiful and useful project using Expressions craft FLORAL Decoupage paper and newly released IMMIX chalk paints.
Today's project is Tea coasters....
Have a look....
Now lets make these coasters step by step..
1. Took square mdf coasters for the base.
2. Coloured both sides using Coral peony chalk paints from Expressionscraft.You can smooth the base using a sand paper if needed.
3. Now let the paint dry properly.
4. As the paints have a superb consistency it spreads out evenly and gives a large coverage too, so I needed very less paint to cover all the four coasters.
5. I have used floral decoupage paper which is recently released.
6. Took the paper and die cut it (little smaller than the coaster size) with spellbinder's lace squares dies to give the lacy scalloped look.
7. Used decoupage glue to adhere the paper on the coasters.
8. When dry applied distress inks around the edges to give it a finished look.
Now your coasters are done...just apply a layer of varnish to make it waterproof.
Have some more pics ....
Its too simple and easy to make. Go ahead make one using Expressions craft products and you still have time to link your project in ongoing challenge.....HERE
