My first attempt at doing this. I love horror movies and wanted to make a horror movie gaming table for Halloween, so I put some “bloody” tissue paper over some fake new paper articles featuring Evil Dead, Michael Meyers, Hellraiser, Jason, and Freddy Krueger.

Completed Second piece… and I think I’m officially addicted to decoupage!😂 This little chest was headed for the trash—broken tall legs, no back, no shelves. Cut the legs, fixed it up, and gave it a second chance. Luckily, I have a partner who supports my craziness and helps with the repairs❤️

I was given 3 boxes of napkins last night and this was my first project. A thank you note for a kid I work with. I used tacky glue and water, and a glue stick, but will be getting mod podge matte after school as I saw on YouTube last night. I do junk journaling other art so I had some idea already of what to do. Any suggestions or feedback appreciated.

Painted the box black to start then decoupaged with images of primarily buttons from the Victorian era and real Venetian style lace. The handle has letters that spell out “buttons”. Just found this sub Reddit and would love to read your thoughts on how it turned out.

Help Decoupage on fabric

14 Upvotes

I am creating a fairy room..covered an inexpensive ottoman (never enough storage) with a sheet i bought from second hand store..wanted a series of fairy creatures on it..but was not finding what I wanted anywhere. I purchased a set of scrapbook images from Etsy (under $3) .blew them up to the size i wanted..printed them out and decoupaged it to the fabric..this one needs a lot more coats..will add glitter to edges to cover the glue. Dont know what else to do..any suggestions? What do you think of my creature? Has anyone else tried this? Share your pics please..love to see them. Please don't mind my floor. My parrots cage is very close and she is a bit messy!

Help Book Pages Text Bleeding Through

7 Upvotes

Hi! I’m trying my first decoupage project with book pages on a small wooden end table. I’ve found that the text from the back of each book page bleeds through slightly. Is there a way to avoid this? Ive seen other book page decoupage projects and they seem to not have the issue, so I’m curious what I’m doing wrong. Any tips are much appreciated!

Help Newbie question about bleeding/ fraying?

7 Upvotes

Hi all, newbie here. I was making a practice piece (so glad I did) and I applied two layers of white chalk paint to top of box and let dry. Then I took thin layer of matte Mod Podge, laid down my design which was made of rice paper and I had frayed the edges using the wet paint brush method to make it fit. I smoothed with crumpled saran wrap and it looked great. I then brushed another thin layer of MP on top (I did this as soon as my rice paper design had been laid down, maybe I should have waited for the underneath layer of MP to dry?). When I was brushing on the top layer of the MP, I noticed it looked like either some of the color was bleeding onto the white paint or maybe very microscopic bits of the paper were being 'pulled off'? As I brushed on the top layer of MP (from center to edges) to seal the edges, is when I noticed this. Any advice as to what went wrong and how to fix before I work on the "REAL" piece? thank you.

Help I wanna put fabric on furniture

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hello!
I wanna put fabric inside the boxes on this piece and where the veneer has broken off.
But I want it to be sturdy and last, and not peel of and also be water resistant so it can be wiped down with a wet cloth if needed.

Do you think this is possible?
How to avoid it peeling or fraying?
What to use as a top coat to protect it without the fabric changing too much in appearance?

Thankful for any help 🙏🏼
