How To Decoupage A Box: Gluing The Paper
Hi! I'm Karen for Expert Village. First, separate your napkin so you only have one layer. Place your napkin where you want it. Then we'll start in the center and move out to the edges with the glue. Very, very gentle. Very gentle spreading from the center out. The glue just soaks through the paper and adheres the napkin to the box. Just keep going around smoothing out and a very gentle touch. You don't want to rub too hard that it's going to cause the napkin to tear and the napkin's very delicate. Take it right out to the edge. Always check and see if maybe there's bubbles or something and you put a little bit more glue on top of it and spread it out to get rid of the bubbles. If you have a very stubborn bubble, you can take a very sharp either a razor blade or a pen and just poke so that you can't even see it. The rub it a little bit very, very gently to get the air out. Okay, that looks good all around. Now, we'll let that dry. While we're letting that dry, we'll work on the inside of the box.
