What is Decoupage?

Decoupage is a craft technique that involves cutting out and pasting paper images or napkins onto a surface, then covering them with a protective layer of Mod Podge glue. The result is a smooth, glossy or matte finish that looks almost like a painting. Decoupage can be done on a variety of surfaces, including wood, glass, and even fabric.

Materials Needed

Before we get started, you’ll need to gather a few supplies. Fortunately, most of these items are readily available at your local craft store, or you may already have them at home. Here’s what you’ll need:

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Prepare the Surface: Start by cleaning and sanding the wooden surface you want to decoupage. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust, and then sand the surface lightly to create a smooth, even surface for painting and decoupaging.
  2. Paint the Surface: Once the surface is smooth and clean, you can paint it with chalk paint. Choose a color that will complement the napkin you plan to use for the decoupage. Apply the paint in thin, even coats, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next.
  3. Choose and Cut Your Paper: Choose a decorative napkin that you want to use for your decoupage design. Cut out the images you want to use, avoiding any white edges or borders.
  4. Separate The Napkin: This is an IMPORTANT step. If you have a napkin that is 2-3 plys you want to remove all the plys and only work with the napkin ply that has the image on it.
  5. Apply the Decoupage Glue: Use a foam brush to apply a thin layer of decoupage glue to the wooden surface.
  6. Position the Napkin Cutout: Carefully position the napkin cutout onto the painted wooden surface. Smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles using your fingers or a clean, dry brush. Let the decoupage dry.
  7. Add Personal Touch: Place Chalk Couture transfer / stencil to the area you would like to add a design and use a squeegee to spread the chalk paste over the design.
