Decoupage Tips?

[keahgirl8]

Sorry if there is already a thread on this, but I searched and could not find one. I am planning on decoupaging photos onto some wooden boxes as Christmas gifts. Does anyone have any tips? I have never done this before!

Thanks in advance!

use very thin coats and let it dry.....this is very fun! they even have some with glitter added to it!!! good luck!

I always love the departments at about.com for learning about new things:

I just did my first decoupage last night! I dipped my paintbrush in water first and then glue before I applied it. That way it was thin, but still stuck. It looks great now that it's done.
