DIY Decoupage Badges. If you’re a reader of my blog, you probably already know that I’m kind of obsessed with badges (pins, brooches, and the like).
Along with being my all-time favorite accessory, badges are also one of my favorite things to craft! I made a David Bowie badge in honor of Rookie’s Up All Night theme and featured it in a post on our Tumblr. Since then, I’ve gotten quite a few emails from readers wanting to know exactly how I made it, so I went ahead and put together this tutorial for y’all explaining the whole process. I used a technique called decoupage, where you glue paper and/or cloth cutouts onto an object, then cover it all with some kind of lacquer (I use Mod Podge and resin).

Plusieurs soirs de suite, les pieds gelés, j’ai déclaré: « Il nous faut une bouillotte! » Et puis je suis tombée sur un chouette tuto sur Jolie Rue le blog, expliquant comment fabriquer une bouillotte sèche. Intriguée par la chose, et ayant surtout tous les ingrédients pour assouvir mon obsession sur le champ, je me suis donc retrouvée à fabriquer ma bouillotte, à l’arrache, devant la télé. Celle là je ne vous la montrerai pas, elle est moche, faite avec du tissu de récup et cousue tordue à la main. Baume en kit.

Depuis que j'ai croisé l'image de cet oiseau à l'étonnante personnalité capillaire, j'ai eu envie de le dessiner quelque part. Et pourquoi pas sur une bête tasse toute blanche ? Pour réaliser cette "création", il vous faudra donc de la vaisselle de votre choix et des feutres pour écrire sur le verre ou la porcelaine. J'ai utilisé le Vitrea 160 de Pébéo. Avec un stylo feutre normal, j'ai dessiné un guide avant de repasser avec le feutre permanent pour porcelaine. Après expérience, mieux vaut utiliser une autre couleur que le noir pour éviter de confondre les traits permanents et les autres.
Pour créer des effets et ne pas avoir une surface noire unie, gratter l'encre avec un coton tige avant qu'elle ne sèche. J'ai suivi mon conseil pour la décoration de la soucoupe et utilisé un feutre rose pour mes guides. Mon petit oiseau sur sa branche en pointillé. Blog de critique: Coup de coeur DIY de la semaine #1.
