Ornaments with decoupage

 

Ornaments with decoupage


  • wood circle  Temu
  • Christmas images 
  • ribbon,lace, and glitter
  • white paint
  • mod podge 
Paint circle with white paint. Add mod poge and lay image down. Cover with mod podge to seal. Add ribbon. 

The term “decoupage” refers to a *process*, where papers (and occasionally other things) are glued to a surface and sometimes over each other as well, and the final layer is sealed.

The most common decoupage “medium” is diluted permanent white glue (PVA glue, like Elmer’s Glue All for example).
“Mod Podge” is the same thing but is sold already diluted and describes itself as a decoupage medium. Mod Podge is a *brand name* but the company puts out a few other products too btw.

So either one acts both as the adhesive to hold paper/etc to a surface and also layers of paper to each other, but also as the final sealer on top.
Permanent white glues aren’t as hard and toug
