Hi! This is my first post and my first attempt to decoupage.. Me (or you well!) I found a vintage 5 shelf wire bread rack covered in spiderwebs, rust, some dents and flaking paint in the back of a garage sale covered with yes, you guessed it! More spiderwebs! But the bones of it were still good and I needed a storage rack. Win-win! I was so excited to get started, I didn't get the whole rack before taking a picture but here are the bottom two shelves as I was de-webbing. I a wire brush to get the rust off the racks. For the metal plates, I just good old fashioned sandpaper grit ( It's what I had on hand. Bad pun, I know!) After I sanded, I wiped it down really well with a damp rag to get the loose dust off and to check on any rust areas. Time to spray paint! Side note...I left the shelves in place but next time, I would remove them for better coverage. I had to cut ten strips but wanted to s the material edge. It doesn't matter that it isn't a perfect edge or cut as it will be tucked under the backside of the plate lip (where the racks hook into the plate.) If I wasn't wrapping around, I would have let me perfectionist self cut it perfectly straight until I wouldn't have had anything left! Lol. Tah-dah! Mod Podge and a foam brush! The go-to of decoupage crafters, so I have been told! I spread a generous amount (but not dripping) on the back of the oilskin and on the metal plate. Remember, this is my first decoupage project so as I did each shelf, I learned a few tricks for this project...1) remove one shelf at a time... It keeps the rack sturdy, the shelves hold your tools so you don't need to reach for your stuff. 2) Put Mod Podge on both the oilskin and metal plate not just one. It bonds better. 3) Wait until the Mod Podge becomes a little tacky but still able to slide the material around for placement and to get air bubbles out. 4) Work one direction to get air bubbles out and not just pushing them one way then the other.
