Product Information

I hope that this has given you some idea as to the differences between the glues and what you might use them for in the future. Looking to brighten up your festivities? We have a range of thematic objects too, including Easter rabbits and Christmas reindeer. Remember that darker colours can show through lighter coloured papers, so if you plan ahead you can put the lighter coloured areas of paper on first. In the photo the pink accent for the ears was applied first. Smooth out any wrinkles and wipe away any excess glue with a barely damp sponge as you glue each piece. The best way is to apply your glue on the reverse side, then lay it flat in position before you use the sponge. Keep going in the same way until your project is complete and leave it to dry. 5. Varnish the pictures If the item is not just a decorative item but will be used on a regular basis then add a coat of professional varnish (Aqua Pro).

Whether you’re 3 or 103, Decopatch is a fun and creative way to start crafting. With their own range of cardboard animals, picture frames and even bird houses, there is a breadth of brown objects just waiting to be transformed. Having a selection of different size brushes allows you to match the brush to the size of the paper pieces. Cover an area with PVA Glue or Decoptach Glue and place your torn up pieces of paper on top. Be generous with the glue, as it will dry clear so you don’t have to worry if it looks messy at the beginning. When you reach the three legs at the bottom, use a whole sheet to cover the side of one leg. Snip into any curves and push the paper over the face of the leg. Continue this method on the other side of the leg. Again you may have some gaps but these can be filled with smaller cut pieces. Step 6Cut or tear the Decopatch paper to the required size. Many decopatchers prefer to tear their papers as torn edges blend in better.

Measure twice, cut once - This goes for any project that uses fabric really, you always want to make sure you have your measurements correct before cutting fabric. If there are any areas of your table that you want to protect, cover them up using masking tape – here, we’re protecting the glass top of the table. Step 2 Please see our materials section for recommended decopatch glue, decopatch varnish and decopatch brushes. I have seen people suggesting that if you add a few drops of a water based varnish to the water/glue mixture that it makes it more glossy and like Mod Podge, this is maybe something to experiment with.Apply thin layers of the glue on top of the paper to seal them firmly onto your object. Repeat all over until there are no blank spaces left or your desired look has been achieved. Complete the item with any finishing touches such as patchliner (like icing on a cake it gives areas of 3D colour), tresors (mini jewels), high gloss varnish etc. Apply the paper to the surface and then brush a layer of glue-varnish over the top of the paper making sure there are no air bubbles. Working from the centre of the paper out to the edges helps give a smooth finish. Remove excess glue-varnish.
