Belinda Ballantine, who... clearly has limitless skill and patience for embellishing domestic objects, has produced a little collection of decoupage kits which simplify the whole fiddly business. (FINANCIAL TIMES)

Decoupage is the traditional art of decorating with colourful scraps and cut-out paper oddments, by applying them to furniture, mirror and picture frames, lampshades, boxes and other surfaces. The images are glued into place and then lacquered with varnish. Focusing on the wide-ranging possibilities of decoupage, this book explains the techniques, and features 60 projects, eight of which are described in detail using the step-by-step method. Six sheets of the author's original handpainted designs are included.
