    i will try and upload pics tomorrow, never done it before!

    i have finshed the decopatching and just need to spray them with plasticote (i have no idea if this will do the job, but ive got a bottle in...) in morning when theyre dried and put the strings back in.

    i thing this could be my new favourite thing. its so effective for someome like me who wants to create and craft but isnt the neatest. i just slapped it on and ive got a great result! tempted to keep them myself!

    I've seen decopatch at craft shows but never tried it myself - seeing and reading about your results make me think I should have a go. It could also be something that the grandchildren could join in with ........

  • Hi Carla when you copy and paste the code from Flickr make sure the little dot underneath is on BB and then copy and paste, I hope that makes sense and helps x

    the strings and backing still need to go in, but you get the idea!
