The art of decoupage is a very beautiful and delicate technique used to decorate and embellish materials of all kinds of any surface, the most common used are containers, boxes, candles, among others and for its elaboration can be used both napkins and fabrics with precious motifs.

It is a technique that is used by gluing the motif of fabric or napkin on the surface, which then give a few final touches of rubber or varnish, this will give a shiny finish and very similar to if it were painted by hand every detail.

It is important to pay attention during the gluing and drying process to avoid air pockets or wrinkles that could damage our work.

With technological advances, we can now print whatever we want on paper and this can also be used as a decorative material, the same as using a napkin or cloth. The finishes are amazing, in many cases the brightness that we can obtain after a good technique can emulate or resemble ceramics.

What is the contest about?

In Hive Diy, we want you to show us your decoupage techniques applied to a box, the box can be made by you or recycled, from any material you have available, because the idea is to recycle.

You can use from cardboard, wood, glass, depending on what you have available and for the motifs you can use decorated fabrics, decorated napkins or prints of which remember that they are copyright free and if you are going to use them, please mention their sources.
