Especially exquisite decoupage looks in combination with mosaics, for example, eggshells or embossed patterns applied with special materials. Before proceeding with the decoupage of a particular surface, it must be properly prepared, cleaned, sanded, primed or leveled. It is better to make the background for gluing the picture white, and the surface on which there will be no pattern can be tinted after gluing the main motive. Next, the picture is covered with a layer of glue for decoupage, sanded, varnished and sanded again. So continue until the picture completely merges with the surface. Another product can be artificially aged by applying craquelure varnish.
Cloth napkins are also a great material for creativity. They can be not just put on a plate, curled up or folded four times, but made of them beautiful flowers or figures. It’s also a great finger workout. Some kind of origami, just made of fabric. By the way, motifs of embroidered napkins can be used for decoupage.
