Upcycled Gift Hamper Tray

  Hello friends,

Hope you are doing good and ready for a wonderful weekend! This is Priti here, and I am so excited to share another beautiful inspiration with you using the Decoupage papers and Decoupage mediums from Papericious
You don't need expensive supplies to glam up your gifting. I had this mdf tray with me which I had received as a Diwali gift hamper last year. I thought that it would be so wonderful to upcycle it and use it as a home decor piece or as a gift hamper tray for my gifting needs. So I grabbed a beautiful floral Decoupage Paper from Papericious, their glue and varnish and some paints, and converted this raw mdf tray into a beautiful piece of art.

I have fallen in love with the Papericious Decoupage Glue. It is absolutely amazing and gives such a wonderful finish. I did some stenciling on all the corners and added clay embellishments on the two sides of the tray to make it even more attractive. The edges were done using an antique gold wax from my stash which matched with the colour of the leaves in this beautiful Decoupage paper.

 These Papericious Decoupage Papers are so gorgeous and you can use them in so many different ways and on any kind of base. As a sealer, I have used two coats of the Papericious Matte Varnish which gives the projects such a nice matte finish.

I am super happy with the result of this upcycled project and cant wait to gift this tray to someone special. I think I might use it to pack some wonderful goodies for my mom on the occasion of Mothers Day this Sunday. I really hope you liked the transformation of this tray and will leave me some love. Have a great weekend!

Love,
Priti

Buddha Wall Frame

 Hello friends,

Hope you are doing great and having a beautiful day! This is Priti here, and I am so thrilled to be back in the Papericious design team. I will be sharing some beautiful decoupage projects with the Mdf bases, Decoupage papers and Decoupage mediums from Papericious. 
Today, I have this wonderful piece of art on the blog - a Buddha wall frame, which is sure to bring a lot of positive vibes.

This is such an amazing base. I totally love the design and this hand carved frame. I am sure that it will look as beautiful with any design of decoupage paper.

I first cut the Buddha printed decoupage paper after drawing an outline of the frame. I made sure that the placement was right and I got the design exactly as I wanted. The best part is that these A4 size Papericious Decoupage Papers are of perfect size for this base. I primed the base with white gesso and then used the Papericious Decoupage Glue to paste the decoupage paper on the base. As a sealer, I have used the Papericious Gloss Varnish which gives this project such a nice finish.


The outer frame is coloured with Dark brown chalk paint and then I have dry brushed gold chalk paint and some art waxes to get his beautiful vintage look.

I really enjoyed making this wall panel and I hope I have inspired you to create one for your home too. It's an easy and super quick diy project which you can make with minimal supplies. I would love to know if you liked this home decor piece. See you soon.

Love,
Priti
