Decoupage Pictures & Belly Casts

Video Transcript

"In this clip I'm going to talk about how to decoupage a picture onto the belly casting. You want to make sure that when you've picked the picture that you want that it is the appropriate size for the belly. Something too big will have too many wrinkles in it and might affect the part of the picture that you want to be nice and clear. We use regular photo, I'm sorry, regular printer paper. If you use photo paper, it's too thick and will not conform to the belly's curves. What you need to do is; possibly, make little snips in areas that already have lines in the design, so they're hard to detect. You take decoupage; apply it to the area that you want the picture. Apply a quick, light coat to the back of the picture. Place it in the area, and it does have a little bit of working time. Smooth out the edges. It is going to bleed a little. Don't worry about that. Once it is all on, it will dry and you will have a picture of your infant on your belly casting."
