In general, an object for decoupage can be any item from among furniture or interior, dishes and bottles and circles with cups and so on.
Revoons can be taken from various sources from newspapers and ending with postcards by magazines and fabric, as well as any printed drawings.
For decoupage, napkins are most often used: either special or dining rooms with beautiful drawings. They are sold either in supermarkets or in any store in which you can find objects for creativity. See great decoupage photo

Scissors are needed small, and even better with pointed or rounded ends.
The brushes for applying paint and varnish should be flat and half -timing width of not more than 2 cm. Glue can be used either standard or ordinary PVA.

Since it is right to do decoupage?
First of all, it is necessary to prepare the surface of the subject that you are going to decorate. For this, first of all, it must be cleaned of dust and pollution with a damp cloth, or wipe the surface with an alcohol -containing solution.
Scissors cut out your chosen drawing. Then on the surface you need to place the details, as it will be conceived. At this stage, the composition can still be changed.
It is allowed to apply glue to the surface of the object and on the wrong side of the picture. Fixing the decoupage elements occurs only after the glue dries with an acrylic transparent varnish. You can also use finishing aerosol varnish.
The main goal of decoupage is to achieve the effect of a drawn picture on the subject that you decorate.
