Make it Monday | Let's try Decoupage

A simple activity that only requires a handful of materials to produce some totally unique items. You can use anything from paper napkins, gift wrap, tissue paper to purpose made decoupage paper if you choose. A paintbrush, a bottle of PVA glue (or 'Mod Podge') and a pair of scissors, and you can decoupage a huge range of gorgeous items.

You will need:

Glue or mod podge.

Decoupage paper, paper nakins, gift wrap or tissue paper.

An item to decoupage like papier-mache shapes.

Scissors

Glue spread and/or brush

 

To decoupage:

1) Cut up your papers into smaller squares or strips depending on the item you are using.

2) Cover the item gradually in glue and carefully add the papers. Slightly overlap and press down gently to ensure there are no gaps.

3) Once you have covered the whole item, go over gently with a brush to smoth over.

4) You can either cover in a thin payer of glue or varnish and then leave to dry.

5) Add any decorative items or embellishments once dry.
