With the help of such an applique, furniture makers simulated expensive attributes and sold them at a high price, such products and today are expensive.
About materials
The basis for the decoupage may be wooden or ceramic, metal or glass, fabric or plastic object. For example, you can decorate the photo frames, paintings, tray, vase, etc. with your own hands. An important condition is the smooth surface of the source material.
Consumables are:

Preparation
Before starting work, you need to prepare a frame, or rather artificially to form it. You can make a decoupage with your own hands from the frame for a photo or order the basis in any workshop. It is necessary to paint for acrylic to cover the surface of the frame, wait until it dry and apply varnish for cracker. After it is absorbed, you should apply the paint of the golden shade.
Creating a basis
Next stage - Creating a canvas from light fabric. In the finished product, the napkin will be transparent, and on a dark background, the image may be muffled. The material should be cut in the form of the frame, that is, apply plastic glass and with a reserve one centimeter on each side cut the fabric. The resulting rectangle should be glued to the glass. In this case, the glue should be applied to the fabric and on the plastic. Canvas should be covered with several layers of acrylic primer and give it to dry.
Important! Any surface except for the tree before starting work, it is necessary to clean with your own hands, that is, wipe with acetone, alcohol or dishwashing agent.
Transferring pictures
First you need to attach a napkin to the fabric and cut the picture along the frame circuits. Then the cut image should be put on the front side on the file and apply glue diluted with water with a flat brush. Ichping, the napkin will begin to stretch. Therefore, the movements of the brush should be from the center of the drawing to the edges. It is very important at this stage to straighten a picture from "wrinkles". Only then you can attach a file with the image to the canvas and carefully remove the transparent film.
The edges of the napkins were needed well impregnated with glue. In this technique of decoupage, hanging ends of napkins from the edges of the canvas are inevitable. You can cut only wet, well-impregnated ends, otherwise you can damage the picture.
When the glue dries, it is necessary to cut the individual image elements or the entire picture with acrylic paints. Finishing stage - Cover the canvas varnish for decoupage and insert the canvas with the image into the frame.
