Please keep your intentions pure during this activity. "Lord, Jesus Christ, son of God. Have mercy on me, a sinner." is what is often prayed.

"sanding block"

[@KMF3]

I find that I need to seal the picture on the paper with several coats of a spray sealer so that the colors don't run when gluing it on the wood.

[@herywidodo4745]

Can golden wax be replaced with gold acrylic paint?

[@KMF3]

Yes

[@alessioranieri1720]

Hello, beautiful work, I will do my own soon. Can I print the pictures on cardstock paper?

[@anton_craft_diy]

Thank you very much! Yes, you can print the image on any paper

[@alessioranieri1720]

Lastly, what size is the piece of wood? @@anton_craft_diy

[@AdamusServusDei777]

@@alessioranieri1720 You can use any size, just make sure your printed image fits. I made a Holy Virgin Mary icon that was 8 inches by 6 inches.

[@deep.misery]

At 2:59 what is that plastic called?

[@anton_craft_diy]

It is just clear cellophane , you can use any clear plastic wrap , is only about remove eventuall air bubbles

[@jaysee7951]

Is there any way you can send me the full list of supplies that you use? I want to make these!

[@anton_craft_diy]

it is very easy to do; download , resize and print ikon image; glue it on the piece of wood ( I used plywood 10mm thick ) - use glue wood. seal it with Mod Podge with brush ( do not use any spray varnish ) , using a brush you will get hand painted final efect. Paint all adges with brown actylic paint. With a finger apply GOLD WAX you can buy on eBay After drying apply VINTAGE ANTIQUING PAST ( it will make it antique look ) You can watch my other tutorials, all Icons I am making the same way Check this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zom4poyYgLx_jKM kzbin.info/www/bejne/epDLlZlqrL6Cm5I

[@jaysee7951]

You rule! Thanks!

[@jaysee7951]

Can I get the gold wax and everything else from a craft store? Thinking about doing that today or next weekend. Want to make my grandmother a Theotokos for Christmas.

[@bipitybopitybatman2146]

How long did you let the paint and glue dry?

[@anton_craft_diy]

any paint must be totally dry .... I speed the drying with hairdryer . I am sealing printed pictures only with Mod Podge , it dry quickly .... the glue must be touch dry before applying another layer. How I am sealing printed pictures with Mod Podge you can watch on my tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpfYqZxroJadlbs

[@yungkite]

What printer I need for a good icon without pixels?

[@anton_craft_diy]

Simple inkjet printer but must be carefully sealed with Mod Podge, the best for this project

[@recipe9790]

Hello, thank you so much for this great video. Could you please give me a general idea of how long each modge podge layer needs to dry? Thanks again

[@anton_craft_diy]

Thank you for your nice comment ! Glad you like my work ! To avoid " bleeding " the ink , first apply 3 -4 very thin layers of Mod Podge ( dry brush technique ) ... leave it do dry for about 4 min between layers , final layer aply more Pod Podge and just leave it dry kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpfYqZxroJadlbs

[@yungkite]

Where do i get high quality icons? Because there like pixels in it when i print them in bigger

[@ThankCh7ist]

Find a higher resolution picture in Google

[@ThankCh7ist]

It might happen when we use low resolution picture

[@markww17]

Heyy, I've been doing these for some time now, but i noticed that something is missing on them in my opinion, and that is gilding. Do you know how i could do it? Perhaps could you make a video on it? Pretty please 🙏😂. Thank you and God bless!!

[@Curlymanzalex]

Hello, where did u get the golden wax from?

[@anton_craft_diy]

Amazon UK

[@hyweldda56]

What size is the print and plywood please?

[@anton_craft_diy]

9.5 cm x 13.5 cm . 1cm plywood thick

[@lanitadelreyOK]

Where do you download the pictures from?

[@anton_craft_diy]

hello , search on Google for " orthodox icons "

[@gabrielakl8909]

Is it a normal A4 paper you are using?

[@anton_craft_diy]

Yes, simple paper 🙂

[@prescottgal]

Curious if you would add more Mod Podge to secure the wax?

[@Blenzo480]

Yes! I did this on mine. It makes the gold really pop! it also gives the paint a vibrant high gloss finish. I did a coat of Mod Podge over the paper before painting. Then id did 2 more coats over the front and sides after paint and wax.

[@Bro.seraphimm]

Hi, in my country not exist mod podge ( i has to matter ) i will use Multcolage Cola Gel Decoupage Acrilex the only one I found equivalent

[@historiacriolla4075]

Works? I can’t find Mod Podge either.

[@quaintcatholiccottage183]

I believe it's just watered down glue that will dry clear

[@KMF3]

Any glue that will dry clear will work

You can print icons?

[@Orthodoxc]

Yes

[@sphblr3767]

where did you get the wood?

[@anton_craft_diy]

@sphblr3767 it is just a piece of 10 mm plywood,

[@hamptestoroid_]

To make it a real Icon bring it to a Orthodox church to be blessed

[@NilceLima-s7d]

Does it have to be blessed? I venerate a printed painting of Jesus my mormon mom has. There's no church near where i live

[@Orthodoxc]

It doesnt have to be. Most people just prefer it. Its still an icon either way.
