I really fall in love with this technic. I do not consider myself as a “craft” person, and I am doing my best to learn how to decoupage, so I started to search for ideas what to decoupage, and how to. Of course, once you find all these ideas, it immediately comes to your mind that you can decoupage everything at home. So, to start with, I have chosen small projects. But I would like now to move on.
I have put some nice ideas in this post, just to have them in all in one place. Hope I will be able to do some of them.
I do have many lace at home. So, why not to do this?

Searching for small home project ideas, I very often stumble upon decoupage project. I like them a lot. But then, reading more and more about them, I noticed that for many of them I would need a Mod Podge. Since I cannot find it in my country, I started to search for alternatives. Most probably there is something similar to Mod Podge even in my place, but I prefer to try with one of the recipes for a home made glue, that should do the job.
So, this is what I found:
Mix 1 cup of white glue with 1/3 cup water. Add 2 tablespoons of varnish for gloss finish. Keep in a container with a tightly sealed screw on lid. Use for decoupage projects.
You will need:
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. non-self rising flour
1 c. water
1/4 tablespoon oil
On a medium heat, in a medium size pan mix together 1/4 c. sugar, 1/4 c. non-self rising flour, gradually adding water, stirring vigorously to break up lumps.
Boil until clear and smooth, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
Add remaining water and oil. Stir until thoroughly mixed. Put into container with screw on lid.
Mod Podge in a Pint Jar (matte)
Fill jar half way up with white glue (like Elmers)
Then fill jar up with water.
Shake Well.
This is a 50-50 mixture glue/water.
It will have a Matte finish.
If you would like a Glossy finish, add 1 TBS of clear varnish.
Shake it!
