Creative decoration pendant with napkin technique - The eye-catcher for your home

Prepare the base plate

Start by painting the front of the base plate of your pendants with white acrylic paint . The white paint will ensure that the napkin motif stands out nicely later on. Then allow the paint to dry completely. This step is important to ensure that the napkin varnish and the motif adhere well.

Select and prepare the motif

Choose a motif that you like from napkin . Roughly cut it out of the napkin . Make sure you only use the top layer of the napkin, that is printed with the motif. Carefully detach this from the remaining layers, as you only need this fine layer of motif for your project.

Stick on the napkin motif

Once the acrylic paint has dried well, apply a thin layer of napkin varnish to the base plate. This special varnish acts as an adhesive and ensures that the motif adheres well. Carefully place the motif on the lacquered base plate. To avoid wrinkles, spread it evenly from the center towards the edges. The napkin varnish also helps to avoid air bubbles.

Fixing the motif

Once the motif is in place, paint another layer of napkin varnish over it. This will finally fix the motif in place. Make sure that the paint is evenly distributed to achieve an optimum result.

remove any excess

Now carefully tear off the protruding edges of the napkin motif along the edge of the base plate. Make sure you work carefully so as not to damage the motif. Brush napkin varnish over the edges again and allow everything to dry completely.

Attaching the frame

Once everything is dry, you can glue the frames to the pendants using handicraft glue . This step also requires patience, as the glue needs to dry well to ensure a firm hold.

Finishing the pendant

To complete your pendant, thread a ribbon through the hole in the pendant. Pull a pearl onto the ribbon and knot it so that you can easily hang your pendant.
