If you really really really really love anything that looks remotely vintage and classy, then the French sounding Decoupage is the art for you.
Let’s go ahead and get acquainted with D for Decoupage!
Decoupage, is the art of decorating any boring and plain object or furniture, with paper and applying layers of varnish, (more than the thick makeup some actresses apply!) to make the layers of paper seem like it has been painted on!
An example will explain it better….
Design transfer
Do you have old steel boxes or wooden boxes ? They can look something like this, after decoupage!

Since my post is only about A-Z hobbies, I don’t go too deep into the topic, but leave it for specialists. So if you want to learn the art, check out this website for more ideas.
If you are sick of old glass jars or even mason jars, go ahead, decoupage and reclaim them as pieces of art worth showcasing!

All you need are some beautiful designed rice papers, old objects and some mod podge. Get ready for decoupage!
P.S:
- If you would like a little more challenge in your life, go ahead, combine Candle making and Decoupage to make beautiful decoupage candles. They look something like this…
2. All the images that have my logo on are the ones I got from my sister, who is into decoupage too! (She has all her fingers and toes in number of pies. Its a given thing, to most creative and artistic people!)

All the images which don’t have beeafteryou written on them have been freely lifted from different websites and they are not my own.
3. In pottery too, we have a technique called design transfer which is similar to decoupage. We can transfer beautiful designs onto freshly made pottery, before sending them in for firing. I have never tried this though!
4. The other hobby ideas starting with a D are Doodling, Dancing and DJing.
Till the next post…cheerio!
