I was trying to tidy up our house and dispose all the leftovers from my craft boxes. Old cans with paint, brushes, pieces of paper etc. I've found a bottle with "cracquelure varnish". It was almost dry, but I still could use several drops. Just enough to create a small, romantic jewelery box with hortenses. And just in time - all shrubs of these flowers were blooming.

Decoupage - a new life of chest of drawers
I guess many people own some old pieces of furniture that look plain but cannot afford to buy something brand new. I was fed up with my pine chest of drawers. I wanted to leave it in front of the house and let somebody take it. But I've found another solution. It took me two hours to create a new piece of furniture. My daughter loves it, my friends as well. Decoupage is a great way to give a new life to old furniture and household items.

Children's furniture; another decoupaged trunk
Do you like teddies? I do. They help me to cheer my daughter up when she's sad. Also, she loves to fall asleep and cuddle up to her favourite teddy.
I was delighted when found decoupage paper with this motif. It took me a while to finish this project; especially lettering was quite challenging (I can't work with artificial light, but had no time to do it during a day).

Children's treasure trunk; decoupage
Too big mess in your child's room? There is a way to deal with it! This wooden trunk is spacious enough :)
It was a challenge to make it within two evenings, as I had to put about 10-12 coats of varnish.
The trunk is made from solid pine wood, sturdy enough to stand on it.

Fairy chair, decoupage
I made this chair for a special occasion - a second birthday of a little princess. Hope she will like it and tiny elves will cheer her up.
I used acrylic paints, decoupage paper and quick drying varnish.
