The Technique of Decoupage

Decoupage is a paper craft.  It is one of the most simplest yet beautiful crafts.  You can choose to use pictures from magazines and catalogs, paper napkins, tissue paper, wallpaper, wrapping paper or just about any other paper material.

You can decoupage almost anything.  The process of decoupaging can be applied to plates, vases, pots, mirrors, frames and even furniture.

Like I stated decoupaging is very simple. Material which you will need for the project are:  pictures, item to place the picture on, scissors, and Mod Podge.  There are six major steps to needed finish your work.  First, find the picture you will use. Then cut them as precisely as possible.  Second, make sure the item you have chosen to decoupage is clean and dust free.  Third, arrange the pictures in the position where you will place them on the item.  Place the Mod Podge on the bottom of the picture and place it on the item.  Fourth, smooth out the wrinkles.  Fifth, Mod Podge the item on top several more times or until you have achieved the desired finish.  Sixth, after it has thoroughly dried at least over night, spray the finish product with Mod Podge glossy sealer.  This is a decoupage plate with over 100 hearts.  They are cut in different sizes.   Visit Little Paradise Marketplace at  http://littleparadisemarketplace.ecrater.com for more crafts.
