How to Decoupage

Decoupage is an easy way to add some touches to your decorating without costing a lot.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Pencil
• Paper or fabric of your chose.
• Scissors
• Old Brush (for glue)
• White Glue or decoupage glue
• Glass

1. Place your glass plate on paper,tissue paper, napkins, or fabric of your choice and trace around your glass. If using fabric, use a thin fabric as thick material does not work well.

2. 

   Brush glue onto surface of plate which would be the bottom back. Use any household glue or you can buy decoupage glue. If your glue is a little too thick you can water the glue down a little for easier application.

3. Place your design on and smooth-make sure all wrinkles and bubbles are out. I use a old credit card to smooth the back. Popsicle stick works good too.

4. If using a round glass, the glue will be on the outside of glass with pattern facing outside. Butt ends or overlap and glue. Let dry. A clear vanish can be applied if wanted.
