Decoupage involves cutting out paper flowers, leaves, fruit, birds, butterflies or other images - from sources such as wrapping paper - and pasting them onto almost any surface. The impression of hand-painting or inlay is then created by building up several layers of varnish. Containing over 60 projects, this book sets out to show how decoupage and furniture-painting can be used to transform ordinary household items and junk-shop finds into the heirlooms of tomorrow. The projects are accompanied by step-by-step instructions and colour photographs.
