Hiya
Well it's my very first project ever so İ am very excited. İ have painted a wooden table and chairs with an eggshell white and am planning to decoupage just the outside perimeter and the backs of the chairs. İ have found some gorgeous serviettes and before İ make a bodge-up of this wondered if anyone can advise me?
Firstly should İ prime the decoupage area with matt emulsion?
The designs İ am using are on a white background. As it will be a tissue do you think it is necessary to cut out each design or would the white area surrounding it merge into the background? Hope that makes sense!
İ have bought PVA glue to stick on my designs and wondered if just one coat over the top is normal or should İ do a few before moving on to varnish?
Should İ dilute the glue a little or would it dissolve my tissue if it's too thin?
Does it matter if you use matt or shiny varnish as long as it's clear?
Your help and comments would be much appreciated. My husband thinks İ am having a second childhood
