How To Decoupage A Bowl: Gluing The Paper

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Karen for Expert Village. Okay. Now, we've set our bowl up on a little bit of a pedestal, a little plastic container, to hold it up off the table. Now we're going to separate the napkin layers. Very carefully. You end up having a little bit of a translucent covering when you finish. Always be very careful as you're separating not to rip the napkin. Now we're set up on our bowl and I've checked the placement of where I wanted to have it. We're going to stop at the top, so you put your glue on your finger and just pat that down. Start at the top. You're going to move around in a circle smoothing as you go. Very gentle touch. Very smooth and gentle. It's a little bit more difficult because as you go out to the edges it needs to pull in a little bit. You'll have a little bit more wrinkling, but as I said, the wrinkling actually adds texture and a little bit of character to our bowl. Just kind of work your way around."
