Mural with Magnolia and Transfer Paper
Anleitung No. 1543Create an enchanting mural for the springtime! The decorative wooden panel with the magnolia fits perfectly into the current living worlds and is still timelessly beautiful!
Decorative wood panel with Transfer Motif
For this idea we recommend that you first cover your worktop with protective film. The 30 x 40 cm wooden panel is primed with a thin layer of white Chalky Color paint, giving it a great white Chalky wood look. The easiest way to achieve this is with a Paint sponge.
After the primer has dried, the wooden board is coated with Transfer Medium for the delicate writings and stamps of the mural. The motif cut out of the transfer paper is now placed mirror-inverted with the printed side down on this damp surface and pressed on, again coated with Transfer Medium. Let everything dry well. A hair dryer can be used for faster drying.
Afterwards the surplus Paper is moistened with water with a sponge. Gently brush over the transfer paper until it comes off the wooden plate, leaving only with the transfer print. The Paper can also be carefully rubbed off with your finger. To protect the transfer, coat the surfaces with a matt varnish at the end.
Fascination of thread graphics
Preserving jar contour
Draw the outlines of a large preserving jar, approx. 17 x 24 cm in size, on the mural. Use a line-ex pen for drawing, as the violet colour liquid of the pen is self-extinguishing.
On the outline drawn in advance, Pins or fine nails are now driven into the wood every 2 cm in double rows.
Contour "Label"
For the "label" of the preserving jar draw a circle in the middle, approx. Ø 8 cm.
Place nails in the wooden plate on the contour of this circle, with a distance of 2 cm each.
For the "label", white Embroidery yarn is wrapped around each nail of the "circle" and then stretched across the opposite nail, wrapped again and further "draws" a pretty circle pattern with the thread.
Draw a personal lettering - here "Love" and cut it out of black photo cardboard. This is then glued onto the label thread graphic.
