The craft of decoupage transforms ordinary objects such as a wooden clock face or a cardboard box into works of art. Decoupage involves attaching paper or fabric pieces onto the surface of an object. A layer of varnish glue then covers the surface of the object to give it a glossy appearance and to seal in the decorative papers. While there are varnish glues specifically sold for this purpose, creating your own can save you money.
