from 1928 reviewsThis stencil will be used loads. I just used it for a vintage dresser, and raised stencil design and I love it!
French eggshell is one of my favourite colours. It pairs beautifully with whites and off-whites. I love it for a pop of colour on the inside of small items
exactly what I ordered. fast and efficient
I love these brushes for blending colours and laying on paint. They are my go to brushes I will show project when finished.
These look gorgeous!
I had no issues using this découpage and the end result is stunning! I used some bubble wrap to create a honey patterns as the message says “Life is a flower where Love is the honey…”
Im really happy with the end result and delivery was quick I had no issues. This is my first upcycled furniture.
Nice colour tone. It has a modern flair that warms up a typical gray colour.
This transfer is beautiful and goes well with duck egg blue,thanks gratefully restored. Here is a pic but not finished yet.
Hi Folks.
After painting this little dresser from white to teal I still wanted it to pop a bit more. I thought the answer was decoupage! This pretty tissue from re-design was a great find!
My first attempt was not successful because there was too much colour bleed through which darkened the flowers beyond recognition. The very evening I put it on I had to scrape it off and order the paper again.
This time I painted the drawer faces white .
This worked much better.
On my first attempt I also found that I had few wrinkles but the crease folds from the packaging would not fully glue flat. So, I decided to hold the tissue over a steaming kettle which flattened the fold lines.
This was a successful way to remove the folds so from then on I could glue without problem.
I am very happy with the result!
Thanks,
Ellen Kelly
Love this paint love the look not so much the feel a bit crunchy still after sanding. Gave 5 stars all my other projects paint looks amazing easy to use. Website easy to navigate shipping was good
We absolutely LOVED this stamp! Easy to use & the variations that can be achieved through paint, ink, or polyacrylic are endless. Great addition to our collection. We used it on this Vintage Aladdin Lunch Box & we’re thrilled with how GORGEOUS it turned out!
I used stick and style eastern fountain with moonshine metallic gold digger on decopauge rice paper.the stencil roll was so easy to use. Thanks Gratefully restored.
Loved working with this paint. Such a clean soft finish. Easy to work with.
Perfect shade of green!
Midnight Floral is simply my favourite transfer and looks amazing on black. As always the service is impeccable.
