Why buy new when you can decoupage?

Decoupage is a fantastic way of breathing life back into old household items without spending an absolute fortune.  Better still it’s quite literally cutting and sticking so with the right materials, anyone can do it!  If you’ve got an old chest of drawers you’d like to zhoosh up (zhoosh is a word, we promise!) or some storage boxes in need of a refresh, decoupage is the perfect cheap and easy option.


1. Flower pots
These wallpaper decoupage flower pots are perfect for your home and garden.  They’d look lovely in the kitchen as a utensil pot or stunning in the garden with some fresh herbs.


2. Mirror
Turn a boring old mirror into a Cath Kidston style masterpiece. 


3. Coffee table
This is a project that will require a little dedication but the beauty of it is, once you’ve finished you’ll end up with a completely unique piece of furniture that no one else in the world has!  


4. Globe
Turn a globe into a themed masterpiece by adding cut outs of something you love.  Perfect for the home office or the kids’ bedrooms you can choose any theme you like!


5. Chair
If you’ve got old tatty chairs in the garage this is a fantastic way of turning them into something fresh and new.  


6. Chest of drawers
Distressed, vintage style draws with decoupage features?  Yes please!


7. Photo frames
You can completely personalise frames to match the pictures going inside them.  These would make fantastic gifts for friends and family.


8. Wall art
This is a super stylish way of bringing some colour into your home. 


9. …eggs!
We admit, this one is a little obscure, but decoupage eggs truly are beautiful!  Perfect for Easter decorations or with a little more effort (and some toothpicks and nylon thread) you can hang your eggs.
