DIY - Another Decoupage Project

When I find something I like to do, I tend to do it over and over again.  For example, ever find that perfect t-shirt or pair of shoes?  Well if I do, I have to have it in several colors.  My kids make fun of me al the time!  It's the same thing with my projects.  Here is my latest decoupage project.

 

I started with a paper mache bust that I bought at Hobby Lobby for a few dollars. 

 

 

The first thing I did was paint it an off white.  Then I applied my favorite papers using watered down Elmer's Glue.  I used graphics from The Graphics Fairy and some scrapbooking papers that I had.

 

 

To speed the drying process, I used my hair dryer.

 

 

I used a satin varnish when the bust was dry and then added some brown glaze that I immediately wiped off for an antique look. Here it is on my dresser.  I also bought the burlap runner at Hobby Lobby.  You can also see the project I did last week - the plant holder. 

 

 

Here are my projects so far (Notice the Parisian flare):

 



I wonder what I will do next?

 

Thanks for stopping by...

 

Until next time,
