Creative work begins with sanding paper slightly rubbed the surface of a wooden Board until smooth. Then without priming, using the technique of decoupage is glued with a special napkin, or rather its fragment with any pattern. After drying again with a grinding paper surface is rubbed until perfectly smooth.

Round medallion, primed, then dried and also sandpaper overwritten. On its surface apply the adhesive for the gilding, after it dries - and the gold leaf in silver. After drying, the surface is again polished.

Using a stencil on a medallion are depicted the contour lines of the bird and branches. Then they applied glue to the gilding and the material itself – now a Golden color.
