Decorative Wall Plaque

Birds Decoupage


I made this decoupage a few years ago, on an unwanted wall plaque.  Smoothed well with emery paper,  it was then painted with a good coating of background colour (matt finish emulsion would be suitable).
Old glossy catalogues showing bird prints were used to carefully cut out the various images and glued down very smoothly onto the paint surface.  After the complete design was finished and completely dry,  the plaque was coated with clear varnish and left to dry in (an unused) room to avoid attracting dust, and then further coats of clear varnish applied for a good glossy finish.
