How to Imitate Tiles When Decorating a Cover

Let's try to make a little repair right on the cover? This technique can lead to many ideas of creating jewellery.
Take a piece of bindery cardboard for the tiles and apply glue Korfix evenly (alternative – thick PVA).
Neatly glue scrap paper on the cardboard — its pattern will be then on the tile. To glue the paper evenly, smooth it with a stick for creasing. You can also iron the surface without steam.
Cut on equal small squares. Use a ruler and stationery knife.
Each square is put with its face on a pillow for embossing.
And then in transparent powder.
Lay out the powdered squares on paper.
Now dry them with hot air, use a hair dryer for embossing.
Before achieving such texture, you need to repeat the procedure 3 times.
Using Glossy Accent, glue the tile on a cardboard base. You can stick "wallpaper" to the top — another piece of scrapbook paper. You can use the glue you like.
Te wallpapers can be covered with mat varnish. Suitable varnish for decoupage.
Apply a layer of varnish on the wallpaper.
Now fill the cracks between the tiles. You need a texture paste. Put some pasta in a bag, and then make a little hole in it.
Put a layer of pasta at the junction between the tile and the wallpaper, too.
The pasta can be smoothed with finger wrapped in a damp cloth. You can also remove the excess of pasta . When the paste dries, its volume is also reduced.
Then you can use your imagination. I used a painting with roses.
I wish you much inspiration and pleasure from work! :)
