HOW TO DO PAPER DECOUPAGE
Step 1
Give the article to be covered, a coat of glossy or flat-finish enamel. Allow it to dry.
Step 2
Cut out pictures, or parts of pictures, from magazine pages printed on heavy paper. (Thin paper will show the printing on the reverse side).
Step 3
Arrange the cut-outs on the surface of the article. Shift pictures around until you arrive at the most effective arrangement.
Step 4
Remove a single cut-out, and spread a thin layer of glue on the back of it. Put the cut-out back into position and press down firmly and evenly, using edge of playing card to smooth out wrinkles. Carefully remove excess glue with a damp cloth.
Step 5
Do each cut-out in the same manner, until entire surface is covered.
Step 6
Allow glue to dry for several hours. Then give entire article a coat of clear, waterproof varnish in glossy, semi-gloss or dull finish.
