A spot of Christmas Crafting

I have made a discovery and the discovery is decopatch! It could quite easily be the easiest craft to do (all you need is some paper, glue and a paint brush) and is incredibly effective. I bought this deer's head from Hobbeycraft, it is made of papier-mâché and then all you need to do is cut out small squares of paper and stick them in what ever pattern you like but make sure you cover the whole thing.
 
A couple of tips for you - although I won't insult your intelligence as it is the easiest thing ever!
1. Paint the object, decoration etc white first, this makes the colours in the paper pop a bit more
2. Put a little bit of water in your PVA glue and coat the top of the decoration with the glue too and allow to dry - this will give it a really nice sheen on the top. You can also add some glitter for added sparkle!
