Treasure The Vintage, Learn how to Decoupage
Step by step guide to transforming my table
1 I always use sugar soap to remove dirt and grime and lightly sand
2 I applied 2 coats of Annie Sloan old white
3 Using a paint scraper I drag through the paint when damp to get desired distress look .Leave to dry and any extra can just be added.
4 Then lightly sand and begin decoupage .I always tear a napkin as close to the design as possible as it gives a better finish .Apply a medium (pva).Minimum as poss. as it prevents creasing .Using Clingfilm gently brush any creases. I allow to dry then add a further 2 coats of glue to image.
5 To finish I always sand over the dry image just to age and blend in.
6 For the finishing piece I used matt varnish for protection and durability.
