Tips for Decoupage Crafts

Before we jump into the projects, I wanted to talk a little bit about decoupage. I also want to answer a few questions I typically get when discussing the craft with those who don’t have a lot of experience.

These FAQs should help you learn what to expect with decoupage. It’s an inexpensive craft for adults that you’re really going to fall in love with once you get started; I promise!

What objects can you decoupage?

You’ll see from the projects in this post that just about every surface can be decoupaged! Surfaces include wood, paper, fabric, glass, metal, tin, papier-mâché, terra cotta, MDF, and more.

The only surface that really presents an issue is plastic, or other surfaces that are extremely slick (and possibly have a coating, like some metals). Sometimes these surfaces resist acrylic products like craft paint and Mod Podge.

There are some options for decoupage on plastic, including keying up the surface with sandpaper or spray painting with plastic friendly spray paint first.

Decoupage on Wood

You’ll see a lot of decoupage ideas on wood in the list of projects, because that’s my favorite surface to use! I highly recommend starting with those, and in particular focusing on smaller items like frames and birdhouses to start.

Many craft stores have inexpensive wood surfaces for $1 – $2. If you’re just starting out, grab a wood surface along with a piece of scrap paper and start there. That way you’ll get the hang of it before attempting something more “serious.”

There are a lot of decoupage ideas with furniture, and they are some of my favorites. You’ll see a few here, but I also wanted to make you aware of these dressers and tables you’ll eventually want to try. Furniture is so fun to re-do with decoupage medium!

What is the difference between decoupage and Mod Podge?

Absolutely! Decoupage is an art and a craft. Mod Podge is a brand of decoupage glue made by Plaid Enterprises, and it’s also called decoupage medium. There are several brands of decoupage mediums, and various formulas typically within those brands.

What is the best material to use for decoupage?

I’ve seen people use all sorts of things from gum wrappers to tin foil. I find myself using paper (including paper napkins) and fabric 99% of the time. But you’ll

What is the best glue for decoupage?

I might be a little biased, but I would always recommend Mod Podge. However, I’m always honest with my readers if there’s another product that I feel would work better to accomplish a certain task.
