All you need is a product like ModPodge, a brush, the picture, and a surface. Clean and smooth the surface and paint on the ModPodge. Carefully place the picture exactly where you want it. Smooth it down carefully. Paint a layer of ModPodge over the surface of the picture and the backing. Don't worry, it will dry clear! You can do more layers. Leaving brush marks gives it a texture when it dries. It's up to you how you want it to look. Practice with scrap materials until you feel comfortable with it. It's a very popular craft for a good reason, it's easy and fun!
Decoupage is my art/craft of choice. It is calming to cut the elements, it is inexpensive, it can be used on a variety of surfaces, wood, glass, tin etc. When used on glass it is done from the back (see pic) The two middle pictures are of tin, the bottom is glass. . . so each one of the flowers has been cut individually, had glue put on the face and placed face down so it looks like it is coming out of the vase. In the wooden chest, the little bobbles on the umbrella have been cut around. It is time consuming but a very relaxing. This is decoupage. Lately I have been seeing gluing anything on to anything is called decoupage so I guess if you want to wallpaper a wall that is now decoupage. But this is the traditional kind.
