I bought an MDF desk at a craft fair about 10 years ago and it has languished in a cupboard, untouched, ever since. That is, until this week when I decided to try out 'Decopatch' and give it a makeover. I tore the oriental paper into pieces and then glued them in place; painted the edges with gold paint; and then gave it a couple of coats of varnish.
Of course, it will probably end up back in the same cupboard, until I remember what I bought it for in the first place LOL!
