not letting the layers dry completely Before the next layer. -

My biggest mistake was painting the entire piece with a dark colour first...when I put the napkin I was using on, the dark colour bled through...from here on in, I will just use a light primer before doing the decoupage- See 1 previous

Make sure to apply a thin layer. I applied too much and the paper got all crinkly. -

Putting too much glue on and tearing the paper up. Patience is critical. Smoothing it out carefully to avoid bubbles, use a credit card. -

Patience, definitely. And not using too thick of a paper or fabric. It takes forever to dry, doesn't seem to adhere as well, and ends up looking like you just stuck a piece of paper to it
