SIMPLE DECOUPAGE: Having Fun with Cutouts

Paint the board, clear-spray the print, fasten it on with Elmer's glue, apply a fast-drying finish, and smooth by roiling your brayer over a wax-paper cover: this simplified decoupage procedure is essentially repeated in each of Gilbreath's 13 projects, in which pictures of various sorts are applied to the usual objects of homecraft tinkering: wastebasket, notebook cover, Christmas tree ornament, etc. Marika's drawings show quite ordinary finished products. This won't lead crafters astray but neither will it light any creative fires; you might as well stick with Sommer (1976).
