Decoupage is the art of decorating an object by glueing pieces of paper, tissues or other materials to plastic, wood or glass. Decoupage comes from the French word “decouper,” which means to cut out or cut from something else.
Paper napkin decoupage is an easy & effective technique to decorate bottles, trays, pots, and boxes. With a little bit of patience & determination, decoupaging can transform the look of a plain object.
Why decoupage with paper napkins?
- Paper napkins are affordable & can be purchased online
- They come in a huge variety of designs & colours
- They provide a better finishing than scrapbook paper or fabric can provide.
How to decoupage with Napkins?
Step 1– Separate the napkin layers. Peel the white layer off the back of the front layer.
Step 2– You can cut or tear the images out of the paper napkin. Tear them by using a detail brush, dipping it in water or tracing around the part of the image that you want to save.
Step 3– Place mod podge on the surface of the item, be it a bottle, tray or a box & then place the napkin over it. Use a piece of plastic wrap to smoothen the napkin down without tearing.
Step 4– In the last step, apply a thin layer of mod podge on the napkin & let it dry completely.
