Material And Tools – For This DIY Project You Need

  1. picture motif, for example from magazines, postcards, and something similar. For some of my necklaces, I have used cinema popcorn bags with movie star designs.

  3. glossy varnish
  4. pencil
  5. scissors and/or cutter

DIY Tutorial: the Step-by-Step Craft Instructions

DIY Step 1 Marking The Outline

Place the medallion (or whatever base you took) on your picture and mark the outline with a pencil.

DIY Step 2 Cutting Out

Cut out the picture motif.

DIY Step 3 Coating With Gloss Varnish

Coat the base with a very thin layer of gloss varnish …

DIY Step 4 Attaching The Picture

… and put your picture on it carefully with tweezers. Do not press the image firmly.

IMPORTANT: Use only the gloss varnish to glue the photo onto the base. In conjunction with another gluten, it could happen, that the consistency of the paint is not compatible with the adhesive and maybe destroyed the paper motif.

DIY Step 5

Allow to dry a few minutes and then again “seal” the surface with a very thin layer of gloss varnish. Do not be frightened, if the paint over the picture looks milky – the gloss gets pretty clear when it is dry completely;).

Allow the finished “medallion” a few more hours to dry. For getting a more beautiful shiny surface, apply another layer of gloss varnish preferably the next day. DONE!
