WHAT YOU’LL NEED
1 piece of unfinished furniture ( e.g., chair, little table, stool, etc.) Acrylic paint Decoupage paper Decoupage “glue” (such as “Decou-Page” by Americana, which is a combination glue, sealer, and finish or Modge Podge) Water-based clear polyurethane sealer (if not using a combination product) Paint brush and foam brush OPTIONAL SUPPLIES: Mosaic pieces ( e.g., stone, glass, ceramic, etc.) and glue
The summer after college, I worked as an actor in a summer stock theater in Vermont. I lived with a talented artist and her two children. Every surface of every wall was covered with art (often made by her or the children) and nearly every item in the house was painted - even the broom! I was inspired by the sense of fun, creativity, and joie de vivre in her home. I feel that every time I make something, and I hope that you do, too! Personalized Bedside Table
HOW TO DO IT
NB – Before embarking, befriend the people who work at your local arts and crafts store and tell them what you have in mind. They will give you great advice. I love PlayTime in Arlington, MA! Paint your piece of furniture with acrylic paint and let dry completely. 1. 2.Rip or cut your decoupage paper. Apply paper on your furniture with decoupage glue. I like using a foam brush to smooth out the paper. 3. After paper is affixed, apply a water-based clear polyurethane sealer. (If using a combination product such as Decou-Page by Americana, apply a final coat of that product.) 4. 5.Let dry completely. If desired, glue mosaic pieces for further decoration. 6.
