Things made by hand create a very homely, "warm" and stylish atmosphere in the house. Each time, admiring them, you do not cease to be surprised that the simplest improvised means is something amazing, some nice "thing", endowed with a special energy of its creator, conveying his mood. And this is not accidental, because it is made with passion and love. Such objects are very well poured into the interior, complementing the so popular and fashionable style of "Provence", the rustic, very "kind" and cozy style of which seems to be created for them and is called upon to further strengthen their "magical" attraction.

The interior clock is a special thing. Their utilitarian function gradually goes to the background, yielding to the primacy of the decorative function. Without traditional wall clocks it is now quite possible to do, since they were replaced by electronic, more accurate "colleagues" built into radio, home appliances, lighting devices, etc. However, to abandon the ticking mechanism, so cute and domestic, standing on the table, a mantelpiece or hanging on the wall, it is difficult for us, and is it worth it?

Watches made in the technique of decoupage, can not be better suited to the style of Provence, decorative rich in cute things, distinguished by exquisite simplicity. Decoupage hours - an interesting and fairly simple occupation.

Decorating paper cuttings of various items is a very popular and fashionable technology. Decoupage is so common in recent times that it does not need additional description. To work, you need a clockwork, a decoction adhesive or a liquid PVA glue, a soft brush, a clockwork with arrows, acrylic lacquer, white and gold acrylic paint, napkins or decoupage cards with bouquets of flowers, angels, any drawings suitable for the style we have chosen , Acrylic contour, craquelior lacquer for artificial aging of the product.

Decoupage hours begin with the choice of the basis. The earthenware plate (it should be drilled in the center in the center), a wooden blank for decoupage, which can be bought in the online store, an old vinyl record, is suitable as a basis. Before work, the substrate is degreased with alcohol, then covered with white acrylic paint. After drying the paint, apply a second layer of gold acrylic and also dry well. Then from the napkin or card cut out the pattern and glue it glue, applying glue over the image with a soft brush. The decoupage map is pre-wetted with water, applied to the glued surface and glued with glue on top. The picture should be glued very firmly without internal air bubbles and detachments. After the paper décor has dried, the product is covered with a layer of acrylic lacquer. To make artificial aging, use a special craquel composition, which is applied in two layers. After the drying of the crackle layer, the product is varnished. The last decorative touch is the figures drawn with the acrylic contour. The dials for decoupage can also be cut out of paper, bent out of wire, made of finished plastic figures. The clock mechanism is inserted into the prepared hole in the center, fixed with a special bolt and the hands are put on it, first the sentry, then the minute one and then the second one. Arrows, if necessary, paint in a contrasting color, so that they are more noticeable on a colored background. Decoupage hours complete the manufacture of the eyelet (if it is not on the watch movement) to hang them on the wall. The clock can not be hung on the wall, but installed in a beautiful stand, which is used usually for decorative plates.

Decoupage hours - this is another kind of handmade creativity to create eye-pleasing things that surprisingly transform the space.
