Apply Varnish

Decoupage Compact Mirror

Let the varnish dry completely between coatings.

You will need to apply five coats of the decoupage glue to use it as a varnish. It is very important that you let the decoupage dry completely between each coating.

If the varnish isn't dry, then your brush can scrape the print off of the image. After the last coating, you should have a durable compact that is just your style.
