Glue such as PVA glue, Elmer's, or basic non-toxic glue.
Optional: mod podge an be used instead of PVA glue.
Small paint brush, to apply glue.
Approx 3 napkins with a design you like (1-ply napkins*), and scissors.
Damp cloth such as paper towel or kitchen role to wipe glue off paint brush / fingers.
*1 ply Napkins - most napkins are 2-ply or 3-ply. Pull apart at the corners, to make a 1-ply napkin for this project. Cut decorations our of the napkin to apply to your project.
You don't need to paint your bird box, but you can either colour wash or paint it before applying your napkin decoupage - this is optional.
The bird box in this video was colour washed with a watered down primer.
Once completing your decoupage and completely dry, for extra protection, you should apply a clear wood varnish and let dry before putting outside. This will secure your napkin decoupage into place and protect against the outside elements.
