Americana Decou-Page Paper is significantly thinner than most decoupage papers currently available delivering an almost seamless finish. Extremely soft, durable, pliable, and workable, this special paper weight is so simple to use. It easily wraps around corners, eliminates creases and wrinkles. Foil will not crack or peel. Design offerings are based on current trends and will give both home décor and craft projects that perfect finishing touch.

Q: How long do I have to let my Dishwasher-Safe Decou-Page project dry before I can put it in the dishwasher?
A: Let dry at least 14 days before placing in the dishwasher..
Q: I tried to sand the uneven edges I got on a tray I decou-paged and the paper ripped. What did I do wrong?
A: To achieve clean edges, it is not only best for the paper to be completely dry but also sand in a downward motion on the edge. Sand in that one direction only. Pulling the sandpaper up or from side to side may cause ragged edges.
Q: Can I use Decou-Page on plates for food?
A: Do not use Decou-Page where it will come into contact with food. Apply designs to the back of plates or the edges of other serving platters. Decou-Page is non-toxic but is not FDA approved to come into contact with food or lips.
