These are the two-decoupage papers I used for both projects.
These are the paintings that were used for both projects.
I painted one of the woods with Rust-Oleum Chiffon Cream.
I added two coats of the Chiffon Cream to the wood.
From my decoupage papers I choose this vintage Santa Claus. I wet the edges and teared the edges.
I then mod podge the paper to the wood.
I let the mod podge completely dry.
I wanted a border around the wood so, I pulled out my mold.
I have four of these to add to the wood.
I also wanted to add some garland to my project.
Once I had all my molds, I first placed them to make sure I liked how it looked. Then I used wood glue to glue down the mold. I then added a sealer to the entire project because I wanted to paint it but also want to easily wipe back some of the paint.
I painted the garland green, the border nutmeg and the berries red.
Next, I added Dixie Belle Best Dang Wax and wiped back with baby wipe. Then I added Rub ‘n Buff lightly to the entire project.
This is the finished project.
This is the finished project.
I also added a clay mold to border this project as well.
I painted the border green and added the dark wax and wiped some of the wax off.
I made a bell, gingerbread, ornament, and candy cane mold.
I painted each of the molds.
Then hot glued mold to each corner of the project.
