- Decide on design to be decoupaged. Will you be adding flowers, leaves, circles. Now is the time to get creative with your ideas.
- Cover the backside of fabric to be decoupaged (the leaves, flowers, shapes, etc.) with a light coat of decoupage liquid. Allow twenty minutes to dry.
- If cutting the fabric to be decoupaged do this now. The original layer of paste will protect your fabric from fraying and allow a clean cut.

- No additional coats of decoupage material are needed.
