Homemade Decoupage Paste: Recipe

Handy Recipe - Tipnut.comMaterials:

3 parts white household glue
1 part warm water
Jar with lid

Directions:

  • Mix glue and water in the jar.
  • When using the decoupage, brush a thin layer of the glue on the front and back of the pictures.
  • For the final top coat, layer 3 to 4 coats of paste. Make sure to dry thoroughly between each application.
  • For glossier finishes, use more coats of paste.

There will be a white film when paste is wet, but will show clear once it’s dried.

    I was out of decoupage and wasn’t looking forward to spending a lot of money at the nearest craft store. A friend of mine, who was riding with me at the time, told me how she learned how to make her own decoupage from Elmer’s glue and water in art class.
    I wonder if you have any pointers on how to add colors and satin finishing?? Thanx and keep up the good work. Great site!!
