Step-by-step job description


First stage. It is necessary to cut out the base blank for the future painting. Having disassembled the photo frame, place the back part of the plywood on the wallpaper (burlap or fabric), trace it with a pencil and cut it out.Glue the blank onto the front part of the plywood using glue. Once the wallpaper is dry, paint a sample of the tree.
Second phase. You need to add a little PVA glue (approximately 1:1) to a plate with water. Three-layer napkins must be cut into pieces of different widths of 2–3 cm.
add some glue

When the strips are cut, take one at a time and carefully dip it into a plate with liquid, but do not get it too wet, as the napkin may spread. At an angle of 45 degrees, carefully begin to twist them into tubes with your palms. If possible, it is better to twist tightly. Different widths of the strips are necessary in the future to form the crown of the tree (thicker for the crown, thinner for the branches). When you have wound a sufficient number of flagella, leave them until completely dry.
Third stage. Apply a small layer of PVA glue to the workpiece, in the place where the crown of the future tree is drawn. Place twisted paper flagella one by one on a damp surface, giving a bend to the tree, forming branches, roots and crown.

Fourth stage. Before gluing coins, they must be degreased. It is best to degrease with alcohol or detergents (for glass or dishwashing). The tree crown is ready and dried.

Fifth stage. The tree is completely assembled. All that's left is to paint it.

Spray everything thoroughly with black acrylic spray paint. Allow the paint to dry, adding an additional coat of gold spray paint if necessary. Dip a dry foam sponge into silver acrylic paint and go over the entire picture.
silver color

Do not press hard on the canvas, lightly, as if rubbing the color.Allow time to dry again.
Sixth stage. Using a dry foam sponge, dipping it into gold-colored acrylic paint, blend it only over the coins.
blend only over the coins

While the paint is still wet, apply glitter (optional). Leave the entire product to dry completely.
when all layers are dry

After all the layers have dried, insert the piece of wood into the frame and enjoy the beauty. The author's idea, like the work itself, is incomparable to anything.

    Why do you need to cut paper napkins? There is a concept of paper twine.
    And why not just use a rope?
