:scissors: What's Dècopatch? :scissors:

Dècopatch (pronounced either

deco-pa-ge or deco-patch) is often used to make wooden tables or chairs stand out a bit more. You can change a brown looking table into a bright pink and purple one if you wish!

:scissors: How Do I Do It? :scissors:

It's very simple! You don't even need to buy dècopatch paper! You can print out some nice images or you can use the good old fashioned news paper cuttings!

Then you put glue over your cardboard animal/thing and stick your paper on a bit at a time! You also put glue over the paper once it's been stuck down, that gives it a nice shiny look! You could also do it with normal glue, if you wish, but I personally think the dècopatch glue gives it more shine and works a lot better!

:scissors: What About Drying? :scissors:

You do, indeed, have to leave your project to dry! I usually leave mine over night, but sometimes then they are still not dry.

Once it has FULLY dried I usually see if there are any bits of paper that are coming off a bit, then I smooth them down with glue!

My rabbit I made is still drying, so it doesn't have the full glossiness yet!
