Step 1: Primer First paint the tray, the decorative birdhouses and a sheet of embossing foil with white handicraft paint and leave to dry. This light-colored primer ensures that the other layers of paint and patterns applied are shown to their best advantage. Step 2: Apply napkin technique to embossing foilOnce the handicraft paint has dried, apply a thin coat of napkin varnish. to the embossing foil. napkin technique allows you to transfer fine patterns and designs to different surfaces. Take the top, printed layer of a napkin and place it on the embossing foil treated with varnish. Coat the applied napkin motif again with a thin layer of napkin varnish. This fixes and seals the napkin layer to hold it in place. Allow everything to dry thoroughly.Step 3: Model the embossing foilTurn the embossing foil onto the VBS Special mat (or a similarly soft surface) with the treated side facing down. You can now gently emboss patterns and structures into the back of the embossing foil using embossing pens. This embossing technique gives the design a fascinating feel and depth.Step 4: Cutting out and attaching the motifsCut out the embossed foil motif carefully. To attach it to the decorative birdhouses, apply handicraft glue. to the edges of the motif, place it in the desired position on a birdhouse and press it on lightly. You can attach other motifs from napkin directly to the birdhouses without embossing foil.Step 5: Add color accentsPaint the roofs of the birdhouses with different craft colors of your choice to give the decoration additional vibrancy and your personal style.
