Remove any old paint residue and sand rough surfaces smooth. If you're going to decoupage a smooth surface like glass or metal, it's also a good idea to lightly sand it. Then wipe the surface with a damp cloth and make sure it's clean, grease-free, and dry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf the decoupage paper you've chosen is light, the color of the furniture may show through.
