Decoupage Have You Heard Of It?

Decoupage could definitely be used to make custom, unique and interesting baby crafts. You could use this technique on everything from furniture to wipes containers, to storage bins and boxes. Make cute picture frames. You could even make clothing obviously that would take a degree of skill, but this is a very easy craft to learn. Craft your own stuff and sell it online I know some people who do. Most just sell at local markets, but enough of that.

Let me give you a quick run through on what Decoupage is first. Then I'm gonna give you a few examples of exactly what you can do with it. Alright here goes.

First let me start by saying this is so easy a 4 year old could do it (hint hint). Now on to the things you would need to start.

White Glue - To glue stuff. What else are you gonna do with it?

Popsicle Stick - Smooth the wrinkles out and get rid of excess glue.

Cotton Swab - Your makeshift paintbrush spread the glue around with it.

Wet Rag - For cleaning.

Decoupage Medium - Glue/Seal is what this tool does. I doubt you would have one of these just lying around your house, lucky for you they can be found at almost any craft store.

Brayer - Does the same thing as the Popsicle stick except it rolls, more convenient than a Popsicle stick.

Foam or Small Paint Brush - Spread and apply decoupage medium with this.

Craft Knife - Used to cut out detailed pictures. If your kid is gonna be participating you could just give your little boy/girl a pair of School Scissors.

Sealer - Use your decoupage medium or glue as a final coat if your gonna do this the simplest way possible. If not you could try Acrylic.

The name of each item is a link to it's picture so, if you need to know what the items look like. Just click the name. I did not put any links to obvious pictures.
