instructions

Making an excellent and inexpensive decoupage medium is easy with Elmer’s Glue-All and water.

To make decoupage medium:

1. Use craft stick to mix together three parts Elmer’s® Glue-All® with 1 part water in a paper cup.
    
2. Stir well.
    
3. Use sponge brush to spread mixture over surface.
    
4. Papers may stretch or bubble up initially, so smooth out air from bubbles with finger and then go over area again with foam brush. Minor wrinkling will shrink and flatten as it dries.
    
5. Let thoroughly dry overnight and then spray surface with matte sealer.
