When my lovely neighbours gifted me this chest of drawers a couple of weeks ago, I knew this print by @roycycled would be perfect 🌼

Kind of a Big Deal

Re: Upcycling vintage drawers with decoupage

Hi @RachelD   Nice work on the restoration I like  how you  detailed the two  tone  dove tails draw  joins.

 

Quiry : When you say nice print by @roycycled    is that a sticker  or a  water transfer or Contact adhesive.  I never seen them before so it would  be nice to learn more.

 

Thanks

Re: Upcycling vintage drawers with decoupage

Hi

This is a design printed on tissue paper, I got it from a company called Zazzle, they will print to order.

It's glued down with pva glue and sealed in Porters top coat for protection.

I have a short video of the process on my Facebook page.

Hi  @RachelD 

 

Good to learn something new Ic you had to color  match  chest of  draws paint with the mural I not  on face book to see your techniques.

 

Still  the overall effect is very good and a  nice piece of reconditioned Queen Anne styled furniture 

 

Thanks for sharing 

 

In return  I would like add to you creative side and upsize it.   Imagine now doing a whole house, room or mega wall.
