"In this clip I'm going to talk about how to decoupage onto your belly. I have taken just regular tissue paper that I've gotten at a craft store in a variety of colors and cut it into different shapes and laid it out into a stained glass design. You want all different sizes. When you are decoupaging you want to place it on and make sure that it fits the area. I have been wrapping it around the edges to kind of finish it off. You take your paintbrush; dip it in decoupage that you can get at any craft store. I like to paint it on the belly first. If you paint it on the tissue paper it tends to bleed. Once you have it painted on, place it in the area and pat it down. You can get around the edges, pat it down and then lightly go over it. Taking extra care not to pull out too far from the tissue paper or that color will bleed. That is how to apply decoupage onto a completed belly casting."
