Make Your Own Work of Art Out of Decoupage Paper

🖼️ Transforming a Vintage Frame with Decoupage and Metallic Accents

There’s something magical about breathing new life into forgotten pieces—and this little makeover was no exception. I started with a charming vintage frame and decided to experiment with decoupaging rice paper directly onto the glass insert. The paper I chose was the elegant Fountain Girl design from Posh Chalk, which instantly added a romantic, old-world charm.

I applied a layer of Fusion's Decoupage Gel to the glass, then I put the decoupage paper face down on that and applied another coat of the gel to seal in the paper.

To complement the artwork, I painted the frame in Willowbank by Fusion Mineral Paint—a rich, moody blue that grounds the piece beautifully.

For a touch of glamour, I dry brushed the ornate details with Lemon Gold Posh Chalk Pigments. The result? A striking blend of texture, shimmer, and timeless style.

This project was a joy to create and a perfect example of how simple materials can yield stunning results. Whether you're new to decoupage or a seasoned DIYer, don’t be afraid to mix mediums and let your creativity lead the way.

You can find everything I used here to upcycle your own empty frame and glass including Fusion Mineral Paint, Decoupage Paper and Posh Chalk Pigments.  

I'd love to see your completed project if you want to share.
