TABLE WIPES
A multicolored wreath of glued paper flowers makes the table a luxury accessory.
YOU WILL NEED: table-tray in black, color copies of large fantasy flowers, decoupage glue, acrylic paints, brushes, scissors, transparent varnish.
PERFORMANCE: cut out the floral motif you like and place it on the edges of the table tray for testing. Then stick the motifs with decoupage glue. To do this, lubricate the reverse side of the motif with a thin layer of glue, put the motif on the surface of the tray and with a dry brush, smoothing, gently draw from the center of the motif to its periphery. Remove excess adhesive from the edges with a dry cloth. After the glue dries, cover the tray with clear varnish.
