Decoupage Ideas
Where to Find Inspiration for Your Decoupage Project
I'm new to the site.
I want to decoupage a chest of drawers using roses or birds.
Any ideas out there.
Any good web sites I could browse?

You mean in addition to The Artful Crafter, right? We have tons of information on decoupage.
After you've gleaned all you can from our pages, I highly recommend Durwin Rice.com.
Durwin Rice has been described as "America's foremost practitioner of decoupage". His books are wonderful: full of tips and gorgeous photos of his (sometimes eccentric) art.
Once you've done your basic research, if you have any specific questions, please write again. Our resident decoupage expert, Kay Davies, will be happy to help you.
For more on decoupage, visit The Decoupage Index Page.
