I made some little markers for my herb garden. Just painted popsicle sticks that I can put in my plant pots to tell who's who.
I just realized that I arranged them to spell "stop". I wonder what that means?
Then I made another egg. I used regular glue this time instead of the watery decoupage glue, and the cutouts stayed on much better. I had to hold them in place for a little while for them to stay put, and the end result is ok but they stick out from the surface a lot. The idea of decoupage is that the cutouts are supposed to look painted on, so the thick scrapbook paper really isn't good for this sort of thing, unfortunately. A coat or two of varnish will help smooth it out.
