How to Make a Decoupage Border

Video Transcript

"Okay, now we have finished our boarder all the way around and I want to put another boarder so I am going to measure what I have left here, five eights inch all the way around. I am not going, I have a groove on my table where it sets into a base so I am not going to cover that but I will cover right up to it. That's five eights inches and we will cut, we will need to cut eight five inch strips because the paper is not long enough to cover the whole side. Now we have cut our strips and we will piece those in. You want to again put down a thin layer of the decoupage glue and then we will place our strip along the edge of the green strip that we put and you can just push that up as closely as you can. The decoupage glue doesn't stick immediately, so you can lift if you need to to replace it and just ease that into place nice and close to the edge. Then we will piece in our piece here and I am going to just fold it a bit and cut it and again just place that and just ease it nice and close, tight, up against the other boarder. We will rotate our board and do the next side. Now we will cut our last set of strips to go around the edge of the board and then we will be glueing that on. Okay now we will glue down our last set of boarders and then after that we will be decorating a little bit and then we will glaze the whole project over with the decoupage glue, that will seal it."
