Decopatch is proving still to be very popular. Using the most fabulous French designed papers, a bit of glue and a little imagination (well, even this isn't strictly needed as Decopatching really is that easy) you can almost decorate anything. From ready made papier mache blank animals, mannequins, words & letters to what's especially popular in these money saving times, the revamping and bringing new life to old furniture, mirrors & lamps. Dare we say that even our bikes and toilet seat are decopatched. Yes, we at Damselfly have gone a bit decopatching mad!

 We now have lots of the newly designed papers in. Remember, you can decopatch almost anything. It's especially good for make do, mending or revamping old or dull furniture. Above is an example of a bedside cabinet and lampshade base we decorated using a few different papers.

We were pleased to see some of our Decopatch samples being used on Kirsty's hand made programme last year.
