Decoupage :: More ideas & tips

I've already previously blogged about the basics of decoupage here but I wanted to add a few more ideas that I tried out this last Christmas.

{I've found that Acrylic spray (sometimes called PolyAcrylic) is incredibly handy as a top coat over decoupage for protection against wear & tear}

more notebooks {my favorites yet!} covered in: newspaper and owl wrapping paper

Inspiration board {I made this for a friend who designs clothes. It's a place to keep all the inspirations clippings/fabric swatches/sketches together}. I decoupaged with simple magazine clippings and then sprayed with Acrylic spray to protect the surface.

This was done on a whim;) But its simply music printed scrapbook paper torn and layered with a top coat of Acrylic spray.

 

This coaster idea is from Wedding Window and incredibly inexpensive but very fun and personal! Follow her how-to here
