Over the past few years, all kinds of DIY crafts have become an integral part of home and office interiors. No exception is the popular technique for turning simple gizmos into unique decoupage techniques.
About decoupage
One of the successful craftswomen in this technique was Natalia Zhukova. The artist-decorator in simple words tells and demonstrates how literally from improvised means you can give a second life to objects nondescript and even worn out. As a result of this transformation, simple items, boxes and key holders, plates, teapots and jugs and just glass bottles become exclusive attributes of the home interior.
A short list of video lessons and master classes of the master
Natalya Zhukova gives the greatest preference to the areas of decoupage in the style of Provence, Shebby chic, that is, the artificial aging of objects, as evidenced by her numerous collections.
In her master classes, the craftswoman talks simply and affordably about how to pickle wood, how to stick a motif (napkin) without wrinkles, how to mix paints to achieve the desired shade and many other subtleties of the technique. The decoupage of Natalya Zhukova is understandable even to those who are just starting to try themselves in this area.
Book as a source of knowledge

Imitation of frescoes, patenting, gilding and, of course, aging - this is not a complete list of techniques presented by the author. The book will not leave indifferent those who already have experience and were engaged in decoupage. Natalia Zhukova allows you to complicate and diversify your work for everyone.
