Decoupage:
2nd successful Decoupage attempt was this awesome table! The table top is a spare part from IKEA's "as is room" and it was only $4!!! The legs were also from IKEA $10 each.
For this table i used personal pics, magazine cutouts, sheet music, book pages, anything that called out to me really. I used Mod Podge and spongy roller, started at 9am and finished later that day around 4pm including lunch and pee breaks... haha. It was sooo Worth it, I LOVE MY TABLE!
