How to Decopatch

All you need to create your own Decopatch masterpiece is the object you're going to cover (and it works on anything!), some special glue varnish and a selection of our beautiful papers.  Follow our easy step by step by guide below and before you know it you'll be Decopatching everything you can get your hands on!


1. Choose your object - it can be anything!  This is one of our large giraffes. 2. Cut or tear your paper into small pieces - about postage stamp size works well. 3. Paint some glue onto your object, making sure you glue an area bigger than the piece of paper.  Be generous!
4. Pick up a piece of paper with your brush and place it on your object. 5. Paint a thin coat of glue varnish of the paper. 6. Repeat steps 3-5 until your object is completely covered.  Check there are no bare patches.
7. You can use jewels and Patchliner Relief Paint to enhance your project. 8.  Hey Presto, you're a Decopatcher! 9. Now you can start to look for your next project.  Can you find something more unusual than a car or a fridge??
