Decoupage is a popular hobby among creative enthusiasts all over the world, and it's really catching on here too. There are plenty of opportunities to make big, elaborate projects as well as fun things to do with the kids on a rainy day.
Here you'll find a wide range of decoupage paints that work on every surface imaginable and can help give your projects the finish you think looks best. Use it on glass, fabric, or any other surface you can think of.
What is decoupage varnish?
When you're decoupaging, it's important to make sure you get a varnish over the finished project, both to give it a nice finish, but also because it ensures durability and keeps the paper from lifting and falling off.
Decoupage varnish works as both glue and varnish at the same time, so you can choose to use it both during the project, but also at the end when you need to secure any loose corners.
With us, you can choose from a variety of varnishes, depending on the finish you want for your artwork:
- matt decoupage paint
- gloss decoupage lacquer
- mica decoupage paint
Which means it can be used to emphasise what you've done and give it a finish that both complements or finishes what you've done.
How to use decoupage varnish?
Decoupage is, in short, when you cover different objects with paper, napkins or cut-outs. Decoupage varnish is used with a brush to adhere the paper to the surface you are covering and then to varnish the surface to make it smooth and durable.
When decoupaging, therefore, all you need is:
- brushes
- decoupage paint
- paper / napkins
- box / glass or similar to work on.
Decoupage varnish for glass
If you're making candlesticks, lanterns or similar, glass is a great place to start. Save your old jars from pasta sauce, jam and peanut butter so you can line them with napkins or cut-outs and make beautiful, atmospheric candle holders or lanterns to hang in the garden.
Decoupage varnish for textiles
If you want to transfer beautiful designs from napkins to textiles like a toiletry bag, net or similar, use decoupage paint for textiles to make sure it stays put in use. This gives both a great finish and ensures that designs stick to even the roughest surfaces.
Decoupage varnish all-round
If you're decorating several different surfaces, it can be a great idea to choose a decoupage paint that can be used on several different surfaces. This type of varnish also comes in several different flavours, so you can give your projects different finishes to suit your mood.
