    This collection of creative decoupage projects will have you scratching your head, asking why you haven't done some decoupage lately. It's so easy to do! So, grab some white glue or Mod Podge and get busy on some furniture or home decor items. #MyRepurposedLife #decoupage #ideas #homedecor #furniture #diy via @repurposedlife

    Do you decoupage? Maybe you use to do it, but haven’t done it in awhile? This collection of decoupage project ideas will have you scratching your head wondering why you haven’t done it lately. You will find easy projects, furniture ideas plus some home decor decoupage project ideas.

    Decoupage Using Napkins

    Don’t you love the new look of this Simple Decoupage Watering Can? Painting it really made it look nice, but the decoupaged napkins are icing on the cake!

    Update an old thrift store basket with napkins and Mod Podge. One package of napkins will do several projects, so make sure you LOVE the napkins you choose. Smile

    This Sewing Drawer Using Mod Podge and Napkins seemed like it was going to be a little challenging because on the details on the front of the drawer. Hop over to check it out and get all the details and instructions.

    Using some vintage milk cans, and a wood "round" I was able to make some very unique outdoor decoupage milk can tables.

    Furniture Projects

    An old chair got a new look using book page prints from a Dr. Seuss book. In this tutorial, I share lots of tips for repairing an old chair that you may have.

    Embellish dresser knobs for a custom look using images printed at home. It’s easier than it looks!

    A hexagon thrift store side table was the perfect project for this easy decoupage using wrapping paper!

    Have you ever heard of the brown paper bag technique? It’s a fun way to use grocery bags or craft paper to cover a damaged piece of furniture. I’ve used it several times, see more projects below.

    A damaged vanity was transformed using brown paper faux leather decoupage.

    Follow the link to see this set of brown paper bag nightstands and a dresser. The nightstands were headed to the curb after being ignored at a yard sale! I knew I could rescue them.

    Christy did a fabulous job of updating a vintage desk with decoupaged drawers.

    Granted, these aren’t the best pictures. They are from the early days of blogging. But my friend Rose did such a great job, and I wanted to make sure I included the clever fabric decoupaged dresser.

    Home Decor Decoupage Ideas

    Another book page project! The key is NOT to actually use the book pages, but copies. These wooden letters with A Small World theme hang on my grandson’s bedroom door. But first, they were used to welcome him to the family. Bonus!! The perfect little easels to hold the letters upright.

    You can make your own DIY wall art Family Rules using a large printout from a copy store. Susan from Living Rich On Less will give you all the details in her guest post.

    I love my customized wooden desk plaque with my blog logo on it! This is such a great gift idea for any entrepreneur.

    decoupaged guitar

    This Decoupaged Guitar was a fun project from back in the day! I rescued the guitar from the garbage. The poor thing deserved a second change in life.

    Another easy project--Decoupage Calendar Sheets on a large window. This one is perfect for a coffee lover. But so many calendars are themed, and would make great gift options.

    Decoupage projects don’t always involve paper. Case in point? These awesome DIY Glittered Candle Holders made by my friend Kim!

    Decoupage Bowling Ball Gazing Ball

    This project doesn’t fall under any of the above headings. Did you know you can make a gazing ball out of a bowling ball? Yep, this was one of my very first repurposed projects I did.

    So, have I convinced you to pick up some Mod Podge or white glue and get busy?
