Making a painting from veneer

You can make an original piece of furniture yourself from available materials. Even a teenager can create his own painting. The work is not difficult, but the task requires patience and accuracy. During production crafts there is no need to rush.

Required:

• several sheets of any veneer (the sheet must first be cut into thin strips);
• compass, ruler;
• black or green colored paper (preferably glossy);
• wax crayons of a light shade;
• PVA glue;
• wooden frame;
• a glue brush (preferably made of hard bristles);
• scissors;
• 2 sheets of white cardboard.

Manufacturing instructions:

1. The cardboard is covered with a thin layer of glue using a brush, and then strips of veneer are laid on the surface close to each other. The resulting plate is leveled using scissors.

2. On the back of the cardboard, draw out the details to create the picture. Each element is designated with a number and then carefully cut out, taking care not to damage the veneer.

3. Cut out an oval from glossy colored paper and paste it onto a sheet of cardboard.An image is drawn on a colored background using light wax chalk, marking the details with numbers corresponding to the previously prepared elements. The drawing should not be very complex, and it is better to make the details large.
4. The prepared base is cut out, and then the parts are glued onto it step by step. While working, it is very important to avoid getting glue on the free surface of the paper. The performer will require special care and caution.

5. The finished painting is placed under pressure for 2 or 3 hours, and then left on a flat surface for a few more hours to dry completely.
6. Finally, the craft is placed in a frame.
