Create Decadent Mixed Media Projects Using Metallic Wax

26 May

0 198 Post by admin

Mixed media art has been around since the beginning of time. Many cultures have used this form of art in their rituals and ceremonies. The ancient Egyptians used mixed media in their paintings on temple walls and tombs. The Greeks also used this method in their sculptures and reliefs. Today many artists create mixed media pieces for exhibitions and galleries all over the world. Some artists use this technique to express themselves while others use it to add texture or dimension to their work. And guess what? Now you can do it too! Before we dive into the process of making it, let's tell you a little bit about what it is. Mixed media art is a form of art that combines more than one medium to create a unique piece. This can include the use of paint, charcoal, wax, transfer paper, and many more things. All you need is a base, such as fabric, wood, or anything you deem worthy for your project! You can use this method to create stunning pieces for your home decor, or as a gift to a loved one. So if you’re ready to create something truly unique, let’s get right into it. We’ll be showing you how you can make a delightful mixed media project using metallic waxes to create a stupendous result. Here are the materials you'll need for this project, all available on our Creative Crafts Store: A Media Base (Canvas, Chipboard) Gesso & Texture Paste Stencils Moulds Casting Resin Ultra Thick Gel Medium Varnish Metallic Wax Method: 1. Take your media base, whichever you wish to work on. It could be a canvas, chipboard, or a wooden base. We are using a wooden embellishment from the Creative Crafts Store. 2. Prime the entire surface of your base with black gesso. 3. Take a stencil of your choice and place it on your base. Then apply texture paste over the stencil to create a beautiful pattern. We have used a brick pattern stencil which we absolutely love! 4. It’s time to decorate it a little. We have used moulds that we made with Stamperia moulds and Amazing Casting Resin. You can choose your desired mould from the array of options in our store. You can also use other decorative elements like art stones to jazz it up a little. 5. Time to stick! We have used Ultra thick Gel medium for the same. This is comparatively stronger than glue guns and other adhesives that tend to peel out after some time. Stick your moulds, art stones, and decor elements of your choice. 6. Now, take your black gesso once again and run it through all the elements. Let it sit dry. 7. Now comes the fun part! With a stencil brush or even your fingers–start dabbing the metallic wax to enhance the textures on your board. You can stick with one colour combination or use a few different ones. The choice is completely yours! Here’s a video tutorial on how you can do so: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cb4cqttJjzv/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link 8. Finally, once done, seal the project using varnish. And there you have it, a gorgeous mixed media project. It might look a bit complicated but we promise, it's so fun and rewarding once the final look comes through. Do give it a try and send us pictures of your attempts. We would absolutely love to see them. You can find all the materials you need to create this enthralling project on our website: https://creativecraftsdxb.com We offer worldwide shipping!

Since graduation is right around the corner, wouldn’t you love to pamper your child with something special? Well, we have just the right DIY craft for it: our Graduation Cap Sweet Box! You can store treats, sweets, or any sort of trinkets you’d like to gift your child as they mark the ending of one chapter and move on to the next. Let’s dive into how you can make it: Materials: Cricut Maker 3 Machine A Scoring Blade/Scoring Stylus Chipboard Sheets Tassels Adhesive Star Punch Glitter Cardstock Method: Open the Cricut Design Space. We’ll start with making the box. Add a circle on the canvas of size 3.25”. Select “Basic Cut” on the Operation. Then add another circle inside this circle size of 2.5”. For this select “score” on the Operation. Align these two circles so that they are centered using the “Align” tool. Then, group them together. Next, add a rectangle of size 8” x 2” on the canvas. Now comes the lid. Add a circle on the canvas size of 3.5”. Select “Basic Cut” on the Operation. Then add another circle inside this circle size of 2.75”. For this select “score” on the Operation. Align the 2 circles so they are centered using the “Align” tool. Then, group them together. Next, add a rectangle of size 8” x 0.75” on the canvas. Now it’s time to make use of your Cricut Machine! Make the cuts by following the instructions on the tools required for ‘cutting’ and scoring. Ensure that you either have the Scoring Stylus or Scoring Blade for the scoring process. Once you have your cut shapes, cut slits on both circles till the scored line and adhere the rectangle cardstocks over the edges of the slits to form the base and lid. Cut a square piece of black chipboard of size 3.5” and adhere the lid to it. This will make it the sweet box cover. And, no graduation cap is complete without a tassel! Add a tassel onto the lid of the box. You can even make one with twine if you don’t have one. If you want to jazz up the box a bit more, decorate it with star cutouts using the star punch and glitter paper. Finally, add some sweets inside the box. And there you have it! Simple, sweet, and stylish–this graduation cap sweets box tutorial is a splendid gift for your kids, nephews, and nieces. Try it out for yourself and watch their face light up as they prepare for the big day. For a video tutorial of the same, click here.

This is a mini banner 3X3" each piece for hanging in a bedroom or door. My niece and me had a fun afternoon crafting. She's a 10 year old so she went for the cutesy wutesy colours and theme. Am waiting to try out for a baby shower or a banner for a boy.
