Decoupaging Images For Your Craft Projects

Okay...now you have the bug to try this technique....now where can you get some great images to decoupage? There are many, many ways to find something cool for you to affix to a craft object. I just found this cool site that offers some fantastic gift wrap that could be adapted to your projects....pick a theme, than pick a paper that coincides with that theme: Durwin Rice Giftwrap

I would also check out my local discount/dollar store....for giftwrap, tissue paper, etc. I've picked up some really nice tissue paper and paper napkins (use only the first layer of paper) with some pretty neat designs on them, for next to nothing compared to the local department/drug stores.

You'll be amazed at how nice your craft project turns out using this medium. I've done two of those plastic cafeteria chairs....personalizing them with the person I was giving them to....using giftwrap for the background of the seat....adding a few personal photos....and painting the back of the seat to match the colors on the paper I've used for the background. They turned out wonderful...although I mistakenly didn't take before and after photos like I normally do(shame on me)! Most of the time...you can find these chairs at the outdoor market (curbside)...or at garage sales on the cheap! And I've already told you how to find inexpensive paint to finish your project.

Check out the rest of Durwin Rice's site to get even further inspiration.....so many things to look at!
