And as well as hence I did my $50 closet makeover as well as my piddling jounce of Mod Podge spoke upwards as well as said 'Pssst. Hey girl. It's time.'
I had a laid of wooden hangers that didn't quite stand upwards for inward amongst my awesome dollar store plastic hangers, as well as they were merely begging for something fancy. So, I embarked on my maiden Mod Podge voyage as well as decoupaged the piddling fellas.
I decided to mix it upwards a piddling bit, too.
So, I decoupaged a few of the hangers amongst some wrapping newspaper (just on the front end side) as well as painted the sides as well as dorsum amongst leftover pigment from my favorite bluish dresser.
Then, I spray painted the others gold.
Now, acre I'm no Mod Podge expert, this beingness my outset projection as well as all. But, turns out decoupaging is easy.
(And I'm probable the exclusively mortal on the planet who missed that memo dorsum inward 1992.)
Let's verbalize details.
You exclusively request a few supplies, most of which I already had on paw inward my arts and crafts hoarding zone.
Supplies:
1. Wooden Hangers (Great bargain on these here.)
2. Painter's Tape (to encompass the metallic parts if y'all spray pigment some of the hangers)
3. Spray Paint (I used Rustoleum Rust-Oleum Metallic Gold)
4. Wrapping newspaper (both were from Target)
5. Acrylic pigment (I had planned to purpose those piddling acrylics, but reverted dorsum to the bluish dresser paint.)
6. Paint brush or foam brush
7. Mod Podge (I used the matte finish.)
*Above links all direct keep y'all to my Amazon Affiliate shop.
Step 1:
I used my exacto knife to cutting a slice of wrapping newspaper to live slightly larger than the size of my hanger.
In retrospect, it powerfulness live easier merely to gum an entire slice of newspaper on as well as cut/sand it off afterwards.
I acquire equally I go, ya'll.
Step 2:
I applied a sparse coat of the Mod Podge amongst my paintbrush. I've heard it's ameliorate to purpose a sponge brush, but my arts and crafts cupboard merely couldn't deliver.
Tiny artist's brush, it's upwards to you, Man.
Step 3.
Next, I set the newspaper on top of the glue, as well as used some random menu from my wallet to shine out all of the air bubbles. I've heard that pan scrapers are keen for this step, too.
Step 4:
After letting the Mod Podge dry out for nearly xv minutes (That materials dries FAST!), I used some fine grit sandpaper to sand off all of the excess newspaper merely about the edges.
Step 5.
After I sanded the edges, I decided to pigment the residue of the exposed forest on the hanger. I belike could direct keep done this outset (and made my life easier), but I didn't conception to pigment the hangers at first.
This clearly was uncharted territory.
Step 6.
While I allow the bluish pigment dry, I covered the hooks on the remaining hangers amongst record as well as took them exterior to spray pigment them gold. I beloved the agency the golden hangers expect paired amongst the bluish as well as orange.
Step 7:
The concluding pace (just for the bluish hangers, non the golden spray painted hangers) was to pigment a concluding coat of Mod Podge over the entire surface as well as allow it dry.
And merely similar that, the piddling hangers were born.
I absolutely beloved the agency they turned out as well as they expect hence pretty inward my closet. They were merely the perfect piddling add-on as well as stand upwards for inward hence good amongst all of the other golden accents as well as bluish walls.
See the $50 cupboard makeover inward all its budget glory here.
So, say me.
Is it normal to experience this excited nearly decoupaging?
