Instructions:
Below you will find more examples of finished projects using this technique.
The instructions are basically the same for all projects. You will first cut your paper to fit the item you wish to decorate. Apply glue to the item using the sponge brush and adhere the paper slowly and accurately to the item. Make sure the end of the paper overlaps the beginning. While the glue is still wet, the paper may look wrinkled at first. You can wet your fingers with a little bit of glue and press your fingers over the paper gently to elimate the wrinkles. Once the item is wrapped and the glue somewhat dried, add a coat of glue over the paper to seal the item and to give it a matt finish.
This is the decoupage glue used for this project.

This small box got a face lift and is now great for storing small items in your closet or to use as a gift box.
Even tea light candles can be altered into decorative items for the coffee table.
Glass nuggets are always easy to decorate. These can be used to decorate scrapbook pages or even as refrigerator magnets.
This was a coffee can found in a dollar store. The design on the can was not attractive at all. Now it is fresh and summer looking. A matching green ribbon was wrapped around the lid of the can to hide the paper seam.
This was a can of cookies. Once the cookies were all munched, the can could have landed in the garbage. But now it is a decorative container to hold whatever you need it for. A ribbon is glued to the side of the lid to hide the seam of the paper.
