For an upcoming school auction, I would like to have kids do individual pieces of artwork, cut them out, and then decoupage each piece onto one piece of wood (such as a rocking chair or CD stand). I’ve had bad luck with some materials running when I go to decoupage. Any ideas as to which materials will not run? (ie. Sharpie vs. paint pen and acrylic vs. oil paints?) Thanks!
While your idea is a good one- carrying it out – not so easy!
‘Modge-Podge’ might work if you spray the artwork with an acrylic sealer first.
You might try having the kids do a collage of images on the wood piece instead of drawing their own pictures. Magazine pictures work great for this with modge-podge or Elmers Glue(watered just a bit)
good luck
