Frequently Asked Questions About Decorative Materials

What paints work well on polystyrene?

Acrylic paints are ideal for polystyrene. They won’t dissolve the surface and provide good coverage. For a glittery effect, add glitter to wet paint or use glitter paste.

What’s the difference between satin and organza ribbon?

Satin ribbon is smooth, glossy, and holds its shape, making it ideal for bows and gift wrapping. Organza ribbon is sheer and airy. It’s used for wedding decorations, arrangements, and delicate ornaments.

Can you glue polystyrene with a hot glue gun?

Yes, but be careful. Hot glue can slightly melt polystyrene. Use a low-temperature hot glue gun, or let the glue cool for a few seconds before pressing it onto the polystyrene.

Where can I find wooden blanks for decoupage?

You’ll find wooden boxes, picture frames, trays, and other blanks in the decoupage components section. They are untreated and ready for painting or decoupage.
