How cool is this mixed media rendition of cute little birdies in a town on this chopping board! Make this one for your cozy corner to add a dash of quirkiness.

STEP 1 : Source the base

• We are going to make a mixed media design using water tap, things from scrap, corrugated sheet and paper birds on a wooden chopping board • Take the wooden chopping board.

STEP 2 : Create the texture on the background

• Create the texture on the board with 3 D Outliner White 707 using painting knife. • Keep it aside for drying completely.

STEP 3 : Paint the base

• Paint the chopping board with a shade of patina metal look using Acrylic Colour Teal Blue 68 and Acrylic Colour Pearl Metallic Bronze 355. • Let it dry

STEP 4 : Make newspaper birds

• Take news paper, crumple it to make the basic shape of the bird. • Cover it first with white paper and then with the strips torn from old magazines using Fabric Glue for sticking. • Let it dry completely.

STEP 5 : Paint the tap

• Take a water tap; rub the tap with a polish paper. When you will paint the tap the colour will stay on it. • Apply the coat of the Fevicol MR on the rough su rface of the tap. Let it dry. • Paint the tap by giving a patina metal look using Acrylic Colour Teal Blue 68 and Acrylic Colour Pearl Metallic Bronze 355. • Leave it to dry completely.
