Collage & Decoupage Crafty Tip

While découpage is a scissor-oriented craft and purists will tell you must cut out, it is OK to use paper punches, quilling strips and stickers to embellish your work. It is NOT advisable to use these for competition work because it is most often against the rules. Check the rules first. But as far as gifts or sale items are concerned, use them if you want.

Collage & Decoupage Crafty Tip

A lovely background for collage on canvas is colored or patterned tissue paper. Simply "paint" your stretched canvas or canvas board / panel - with a mix of white glue and water, and then lay down the tissue, carefully pressing out any bubbles.

When it dries, you can continue to collage directly on top of your tissue background. Fun!



justBe...Art
I'm a collage artist who loves creating with scraps of paper, mod podge, and wire. I make wall hangings, journals, and decorative boxes.

Contact me if you are interested in any custom altered journals, canvases, or boxes. I alter boxes in a variety of sizes.

Collage & Decoupage Crafty Tip

Keep plastic zip lock bags in a basket to sort pieces of everyday ephemera...like a tag from a shirt, a business card, a button, a movie stub, fruit stickers, a colorful piece of junk mail, a picture from a magazine, a label from a jar...

I sort the bags by color scheme. When I am in the mood for collage I take out a color bag, a canvas, and some mod podge and I am ready to create!

When cleaning the glass of a frame, be sure to use glass cleaner from a pump action bottle. Aerosols can cause static.

Collage & Decoupage Crafty Tip

Try to think of unique and original items to decoupage, especially if you are a seller of your craft. I have decoupaged the most random items- picture frames, tables, and shoes. Yes, that's right shoes! Anyone can think of making a collage on something flat. Use items that you or other people will actually use. Also, a tip for tables/coffee tables/night stands- make a collage on the table, but do not attach pieces, buy a piece of glass (plastic, or plexi-glass can work if it is heavy enough and obviously clear) and get it shaped to the size of the table. By putting the glass on the table you can view the collage without damaging it and you can change pictures whenever you want with no hassle! I hope this inspires you!!! Have fun crafting!
