How to Decoupage

There are many products in the market you can find to apply decoupage paper. (When I was younger, I used to use Elmer's glue because it dried transparent!)
Maika Daughters carries a few that provide different finishes: matte and gloss.
- Prima's Decoupage Gel
- Finnabair's Soft Matte Gel

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Measure and cut the paper (super easy to cut)
  2. Apply a thin coat of Gel with a brush on your project. Lay your decoupage paper on top of the gel and lightly press it so it sticks to the surface. (You can use your hand, a cloth or a brayer to make sure it is completely adhered to the medium you applied)
  3. Once completely dried, apply another thin layer of gel over the decoupage paper
  4. Let top layer fully dry before applying a second coat. Do not touch your decoupage paper when it is wet
  • And you are done! Take a step back and admire your work :)
