  1. Basic Decoupage On Picture Frame

    I made this picture frame as a farewell gift to a friend who migrated to Finland in January.

    It was done in a basic decoupage technique. The wooden frame from IKEA was painted in Plaid Taffy and then I sealed the strawberry motifs. After that I varnished the whole frame.

    For the inside of the frame, I used scrapbook paper and a sentiment sticker. Of course if the person wants to put any picture, the quotation can be removed later.

    I made bunga dulang from bunga dip to accompany the box I decoupaged. The item for barang hantaran can be put inside the round box.

    For this particular gubahan coklat for hantaran, I used rose made from daun getah (rubber tree leaves) bought from a supplier. I took out the inner petals to fit in the Ferrero Rocher inside.

    It’s now available for sale at RM50 (not inclusive of the chocolate).

    If you are interested to buy, please leave comment.


  4. IKEA Malma Frame For Decoupage

    March 15, 2012 by admin

    I bought this Malma frame from IKEA since last year and didn’t do anything with it until recently. This time using the plain color Malma frame, I painted it in Plaid Taffy. After I have decoupaged the surface with the decoupage napkin with pink rose motif I decided to apply Jo Sonja Crackle Medium on top of it.

    Once it has started to crackle, I rubbed in Plaid Forest Green. The Crackle Medium used creates a tiny, porcelain like cracks that are quite hard to notice unless you rub in a second contrast color than the surface.

    Oh, the wording has been printed on paper, traced on tracing paper then traced again using graphite paper on the frame surface. I colored in with black acrylic paint using a liner brush. Some people prefer to use marker pen for wording but I always color in my wording using acrylic paint. This way I don’t have to worry about the marker ink bleeds when I varnish the finish product.

    Overall I was very pleased with the result. The frame has been given to a friend as a gift.


  5. Crackled Effect Using Jo Sonja Crackle Medium

    February 20, 2012 by admin

    After hoarding this key holder for a few months, I decided to do some decoupage on it. The original background color is Plaid taffy and ice green light. After I have done all the shading on the decoupage piece, I felt like trying the Jo Sonja Crackle Medium again. (Check the previous entry on the wooden box)

    For those who are interested to try crackle effect, Jo Sonja has 2 different medium for crackle. The one that I used here is Crackle Medium. It’s a one step process which can be applied on top of the finished painting to get a fine crazing effect.

    The other medium for crackle needs a topcoat color.

    To make sure I can see the effect of the crackle, I rubbed some walnut stain into the cracks. However I think I used too much stain and it made the background color turned very dark (and look ugly) from the original color..huhu!

    I think next time I will use acrylic paint in contrasting color (like dark green) with retarder to rub into the cracks instead of using walnut stain. Lesson learned!

    For this demo, I used bunga dulang made from red songket to decorate the gubahan hantaran.


  7. Decoupage On Wooden Box

    January 30, 2012 by admin

    Please on the pictures to see a larger version.

    I’ve bought this wooden box since 2006 but never do anything with it. So during the last long weekend, I decided to try the Jo Sonja Crackle Medium (again!) on the box. After putting a basecoat color, I applied the medium and it started to crack. I then applied walnut stain into the cracks.

    I don’t really like the effect of the stain has on the surface as it created such a shabby rustic look. I proceeded with sealing the motif of roses from decoupage napkin. I then traced the wording and color in with black paint.

    After I have finished doing all the wordings on the box, I realized that it looks much better plain like this. Well, what can I do, things were done and I have to live with the consequences. After all that’s what experimenting in craft will give you, a lesson to learn..heh!


  8. Gubahan Bunga Stokin In Harian Metro

    January 13, 2012 by admin

    At last one of the gubahan hantaran I made for the photo shoot last year has been printed in the local newspaper, Harian Metro.

    For this particular one, I demonstrated on how to assemble bunga stokin into a set of simple bunga dulang and as an embellishment on top of the mengkuang box.

    I didn’t even realize that it has came out on yesterday’s paper until I checked my blog stats. There was a sudden spikes of visitors on both the official website and news blog for Bungatelur.com.

    I hope the other 3 sets of gubahan hantaran I made will be chosen to be featured in Harian Metro soon.


  9. Painting Stripe For Decoupage Tin

    January 12, 2012 by admin

    I’ve never tried painting stripe on the surface that I want to decoupage. So today I thought I will try it.

    Using the craft tape which I bought for glass painting, I taped down a few strips around the tin after I have painted the base in Ice Green Light.

    The craft tape doesn’t stick too hard on the surface so that’s no risk of the base color to be peeled off. But the problem lies in the second paint (in this case, Plaid/Folkart brand of Baby Pink) seeping under the craft tape making it all not crisp and smooth as I expected my stripes to be..huhu!

    I read on the Internet that to ensure that the second color won’t seep under the craft tape, once we have tape down the strips, paint the base coat color along the edge of the craft tape. Let it dry and then only paint the second color. I will have to try out that tips on my second trial.

    Since the first stripe trial result is not so great, I decided to touch up and make it more smooth (which in the end is not as satisfactory as I hope..sigh!)

    I used the Plaid decoupage finish to seal the rose motif.

    Another angle of the rose on the striped tin.

    This is how it looks like after the sealer has dried out and before I decided to mess up the creation.

    Somehow I feel that the Baby Pink stripes are too striking so I thought of shading some of the area in Berry Wine and Taffy. I haven’t varnish the end product but I am not happy with what I’ve done so far. Mistakes are hard to be avoided especially in craft experiment like this. I just hope I won’t do the same mistake next time.
