How to decoupage paper onto a tabletop….

August 7, 2009 By Jennifer

I loved the shape of this table, but it had seen better days, and it still had lots of life!
 I decoupaged scrapbook paper onto the table top to brighten it up.

 The top was very damaged and a bit ugly. I like to use both paper and fabric to recover damaged table tops. You can find some really pretty pattern and designs.

 I chose a a 12 by 12 piece with a pattern that was very easily matched.

 I brushed mod podge on the backside
and then on the top side of the bare table top.

I put the paper down and pressed out any of the bubbles and creases.
I then brushed over it with a new coat of mod podge

I let it dry and then I spray sealed it with polyacrylic. You can read why I like polyacrylic over paste was here.

It will now hold up to glasses and everything else set on top.

    Anytime I have ever tried to decoupage paper on something I get air bubbles and wrinkles. I noticed in your 5th photo that yours looks wrinkly too. How did you get the wrinkles out? When it dries, do the wrinkles come out? Please advise.

      If you poke holes with a straight pin in the bubbles it should dry flat.
