Steps:
1. Spread enough wax paper or freezer wrap to protect your working area.

2. Tear tissue paper to a manageable size. Ours are approximately 20" x 20".

3. Tear enough tissue pieces to cover the vase.

4. Squeeze and pour blue paint onto random areas of tissue paper.

5. Squeeze and pour green paint onto random areas of tissue paper.

9. Allow the paint to dry on the tissue paper overnight (make sure wax or freezer paper is under tissue paper while drying).

11. With paintbrush, apply decoupage medium generously to the back of tissue paper.

13. Use additional decoupage medium to paint over the tissue paper once it has been glued onto the vase.

14. After all papers have been glued onto vase, brush on two additional coats of decoupage finish to cover the entire vase. Allow the finish to dry between each coat.

Tips:

• Experiment with different combinations of paint colors to fit a favorite color scheme.
  
• Cover other items such as small bowls, folders, trays, glass bottles or other garage sale or thrift store finds.
  
• Cut painted tissue paper into squares and glue to frames or boxes for mosaic tile looks.
