New Year's tea houses. Decoupage of tea houses master class

A tea house is a very nice accessory, without which not one hand-made fair can do. A tea box, no matter how beautiful it is, is unlikely to be as aesthetic and charming as this tea bag house. In addition, this thing is reusable, it will serve for a long time and, perhaps, will become the highlight of the whole image of the kitchen.

Any business begins with an idea, an idea. Can you imagine in what form this very tea house can appear - whether it will really be a box-house in which tea bags “live”. Or maybe the house will resemble a medieval tower, or a doll house, or a tree with a spreading crown. You can make a tea house in the form of a Russian stove or an unusual shape of a teapot.

Among other things, such a tea house can be equipped with a balcony, where there will be a place for napkins or toothpicks. What you have to do is limited only by your imagination. But decorating a house is perhaps the most interesting and most effective using the decoupage technique. So from inconspicuous boxes you can make a small masterpiece.

How to start decoupage of a tea house with your own hands

If you are a beginner needlewoman, you can start the first tests with fairly simple examples. They do not involve a large number of materials used and multi-stage, complex work. But, nevertheless, you have to try.

For work you will need:

Box (wooden blank);
Decoupage card or three-layer napkins;
Acrylic paints;
Primer;
Varnish for decoupage;
Plain PVA glue.

Work begins with a wooden blank. If necessary, it is processed with sandpaper, and then covered with a primer. After drying, cover the house with white paint.

Approximately two-fifths of the height of the house must be sealed with masking tape. And whiten the top again.

Second stage: decoupage of a tea house, master class

To make all strokes perfect, make them vertical, along the length of the workpiece itself. When the top dries, masking tape must be sealed on the other side, painting the bottom in a dark color. From above, you can add a little gold acrylic, which after that be sure to rub with a candle. This is to simulate the wear and tear that is characteristic of an old product - or perhaps your retro-style house.

Paint the roof of the house in the color of its base. To make the shade natural, do this - one coat of paint, and then a little gold paint. Grate gold with a candle, cover with a second layer of paint.
To get a delicate creamy shade, you need to add a little umber to the white. We cover the top of the house with this tone. The inside of the house, by the way, can also be painted over. And don't forget to paint the bottom!
Now you can start decoupage. Tear out the desired elements from the napkin. They are glued to the house with PVA glue. And then, after drying, the whole house is covered with decoupage varnish.
The roof of the house can be decorated with lace or a decorative ribbon.

If you are making a house in the Provence style, choose soft floral motifs for the picture. Roses, small teapots and cups are good in the English style. There are sets of napkins for decoupage, thematic, you do not have to pick up motifs, backgrounds, fragments, ornaments, everything comes in a set.

Volumetric decoupage: tea house

Volumetric decoupage is an ambient technique. It literally translates as “environment”, but in decoupage it will mean a three-dimensional pattern. This technique assumes that the image will be three-dimensional, with protruding elements.

For this decoupage you will need:

The wood blank itself;
Acrylic thin relief paste;
Palette knife (small knife);
Acrylic paints;
Napkins or decoupage card;
Matte spray varnish;
Matte acrylic lacquer;
Stencil imitating tiles;
PVA glue or decoupage glue;
3D gel.

As you can see, the list of materials and tools is more impressive. Therefore, this MK is suitable for those who are already “their own” in decoupage and the topic of volumetric decoupage is at least familiar to you. The blank can be wooden or plywood. Boxes made of thick cardboard are also used, but there should be no doubt about the strength of such boxes.

Volumetric decoupage of a tea house step by step

Work begins, as usual, with the primer of the workpiece. The necessary fragments are cut out of the decoupage card or napkins. Step back from the edge about one and a half centimeters.

Progress:

Details are glued onto the house - shutters with roosters, for example, a balcony, masonry, whatever you have in mind. But glue only the middle, without touching the edges.
Then, with a palette knife, enter the relief paste under the edges, it needs to be given the necessary shape. Then the edges of the pattern are glued. This is how a volumetric element is obtained.
Imitation of brickwork is done with paste, and individual bricks can be drawn with a toothpick. On the roof, the paste is applied through a stencil. It will turn out a good imitation of tiles.
You can add, for example, a street lamp, walls with cracks to the house. The tiled roof is painted with English paint.
It remains only to tint the roof with umber, add greenery to the cobblestones, draw glass in the windows with 3D gel, and make a lantern. Then comes the matte spray varnish.

In general, the decor depends on your imagination. Some details can be done in a metallic shade. You can make a porch near the house, and a window on the roof, and a cat basking on the tiles. Usually the finishing decor, ideas about it come in the process of work.

What else can you do: decoupage houses

Also interesting will be a house in the form of a mill. The design and shape are the same, and well-chosen images will help to make a real rural mill. Near such a house, you can plant a decorative mouse with a spikelet in its teeth.

The tea house in the form of a hut on chicken legs will be interesting. Such a hut can be a storage for children's tea bags, or, for example, medicinal tea, which kids do not like, but sometimes you have to drink. Getting tea from such a cool house, the kids will no doubt drink the magical healing potion.

What napkins are required for decoupage of a tea house

It is probably better not to pick up three-layer napkins. These are wide napkins with the most diverse prints from small ornaments to abstraction. Decoupage uses the top layer, which is separated from the previous two.

Fragments and motifs are best torn out, not cut out. Just do it very carefully. But if you really cut, then carefully and with nail scissors. You can also purchase themed decoupage cards, or display pictures from the Internet on thin rice paper.

The tea house is a very cute accessory, only its name already brings a smile. Make such a charming little thing for yourself, and your house will also become a little cozy and warmer.

A tea house is a cute accessory that will add coziness to your kitchen and will be remembered by your guests for a long time. It looks like a small house with tea bags in it.

Such a house can be purchased at the store, or you can make it yourself. Usually, a wooden blank is used for this, which is sold in needlework stores.

And the easiest way to decorate a tea house is decoupage.

Decoupage is a decoration technique in which images on paper are pasted onto wooden or other surfaces.

Decoupage of a tea house, the master class of which we will now demonstrate, can be done in two ways.

Simple decoupage of a tea house

For work we need:

Wooden blank.
Decoupage napkin or decoupage card with a suitable image.
Primer
Acrylic paints
PVA glue

We take a wooden blank.

If necessary, we process with sandpaper, cover with a primer. After drying - cover with white acrylic paint.

We separate about 2/5 of the height and seal it with masking tape. Let's whiten the top one more time.

Please note: to make the strokes more accurate, they must be done vertically, along the entire length of the surface to be decorated.

After the top is dry, you need to stick masking tape on the other side and paint over the bottom in a dark color. Here, umbra is used for this. On top - a little gold acrylic, which is then rubbed with a candle. This is done in order to get an imitation of attrition, which is typical for old things.

Now you should paint the roof of the house in the color of its base. To get natural shades, you can follow the following sequence: one coat of paint, then a little gold paint. We rub the gold with a candle and cover it with a second layer of paint.

If you add a little umber to the white, you get a nice creamy shade. We cover the top of the house. Optionally, you can paint the inside of the house. Don't forget to paint the bottom!

We turn to the decoupage of the tea house itself.

We cut out (or better, tear out) the necessary elements from the napkin, glue them with PVA glue. We varnish the entire house.

The house can be decorated with lace or ribbon and it is ready!

Volumetric decoupage of a tea house

Volumetric decoupage technique is called in a different way ambient technique.

“Ambiente” - literally translated as “environment”, but in decoupage it is “protruding pattern”. That is, this is such a decoupage technique, as a result of which the image is voluminous, with protruding elements.

So, to make a tea house using the volumetric decoupage technique, you will need the following materials:

wooden blank
Embossed acrylic paste (thin)
A palette knife is a special knife. Instead, you can use a flat spatula (for example, from a manicure set)
Acrylic paints (here colors such as cadmium red and yellow, ultramarine, burnt umber, chromium oxide, English red)
Decoupage napkin or decoupage card. In this master class, a rice map with elements of architecture was used
Spray lacquer (preferably matte)
Acrylic varnish (also matte)
3-D gel
Stencil for imitation tiles
Glue (PVA or decoupage).

First, as usual, we prime our workpiece.

We tear out fragments from a napkin or rice card that will be used in the decoupage of a tea house. The indentation from the edge should be about 1.5 cm.

We stick architectural details and flower pots on the house. Glue only the middle, do not glue the edges yet!

Using a palette knife, apply relief paste under the edges. We give it the desired shape, and then glue the edges of the napkin. Thus, a volumetric element is obtained.
