Decoupage is the creative technique of decorating an object with cut-outs of paper which are then coated with several layers of varnish to seal and protect them.
Most people associate decoupage with furniture or pottery, however this technique can be effectively used on glass to create some very lovely jewellery pieces and accessories.
You'll be shown how to make decoupaged glass tiles choosing from a large selection of high quality colourful Japanese Chiyogami papers and transform them into beautiful jewellery pieces or accessories to take home. Pendant necklaces, Rings, Earrings, Hairslides, Brooches, or Cufflinks.
