I had two friends over for a decoupage class today. I tidied up the apartment and got everything ready for the class. There are a lot of tools and supplies needed to do decoupage – Mod Podge (the glue you use), scissors, a sponge brush, paper (to glue), drop cloths to protect the chairs, table and carpet, and old magazines, which you use as a work space to glue.
The girls arrived at around 1:30pm and we got right to work. Bonnie was decoupaging the top of two stools and Nicole had a small box. I showed them the techniques and they both did a beautiful job. Nicole is only 9-½, but she’s very artistic. I had a big white plastic tray which I covered with pictures of clocks. I thought the round on round look would be pretty and I think it came out great!

After the girls were finished they took some pictures with their digital camera and sent them to me so I can show their work. They did a great job and we had a really fun day!

Here's Bonnie's other stool. Fabulous!
Here's my tray!
Bonnie emailed me and said she and Nicole had a great time and they'd like to do it again. I'm not surprised. Everybody loves decoupage!
