Decoupage Fiber Paper Table Makeover
Decoupage Fiber Paper for this old table makeover creates a gorgeous new look!
Hello sweet friends!
How about some fun Trashy Treasures today?? It’s that time of the month! Let’s go!
Today I’m doing a table I just picked up at the ReStore. I run by there occasionally and found this sweet little table on my last visit. I considered tiling the top because you guys know how much I love to tile things! Ha! It was perfect for tile with that rim around but I decided to do something completely different instead.
Interested in tiled projects though? Here are a few.
- How To Tile a Tabletop
- DIY Tiled Tabletop (I kept this one and use it on our front porch!)
- Transform Your Furniture With Tile
I have lots of other tiled projects that aren’t furniture you can see them here.
But today is TRASHY TREASURE day!
And I’m sharing a brand new, not tiled, project! ;) My friends are sharing theirs’ too so be sure to scroll to the bottom to see!
Decoupage Fiber Paper Table Makeover
Here is it “before”…
And the top…
See?
Perfect for tile! But I went another way.
SAND
I lightly sanded the whole thing as the finish was somewhat slick.
CLEAN
Then I used our TSP Alternative to clean it well.
I love these continuous sprayers so much! I keep one with TSP Alt and one with water.
PRIME
Since it was a slick finish, even though I lightly sanded it, I decided to apply a coat of Ultra Grip.
I love this stuff! It really is the “glue” that holds the paint oh so well in those shiny, slick situations.
PAINT
It’s best to let that dry at least 12 hours or so then apply paint. (by the way, it dries clear so you can not see it on your project once it is dry)
I used this gorgeous color called Elderberry. It’s so rich and beautiful, I just love it.
MATERIALS LIST (Decoupage Fiber Paper Project)
- TSP Alternative
- Continuous Sprayer
- Paintbrush
- Ultra Grip
- Elderberry Paint

Prefer to shop on Etsy? I have an Etsy shop also, here!
I also used it on this project:
Decoupage Fiber
I decided to use this gorgeous floral decoupage fiber on the top.
Isn’t it so pretty? You could use it on a dresser front also. So many options!
There are several ways you can cut and measure this. Well, one, simply measure and cut.
Or like I am showing here, I simply ran a stick along the crease (to make a crease in the paper to follow).
I did that on all sides.
And then used my cutting mat to cut it straight following those crease lines.
APPLY DECOUPAGE GEL
I used our Transfer and Decoupage Gel to attach the decoupage fiber.
Apply a layer of the decoupage gel and attach the decoupage fiber.
Press firmly to make sure it is fully adhered to the gel and base.
TOPCOAT
Once that was dry, I went over it with GLOSS Tough Coat Topcoat.
I actually did about 3 coats, drying in between. I wanted it to be very well protected and I wanted it to be a bit shiny. Only on the top though! I left the base, as-is with just the matte finish of the paint.
And done!
The 3 coats of Gloss Topcoat really make that decoupage fiber look dreamy and deep.
Isn’t that Elderberry paint color just beautiful?
Top view…
I love the top a bit shiny.

Love that moody color and the paper is perfect. :)
Thank you, Larissa! xo
So pretty, Nancy! That is a gorgeous color, although I do love your tiled tables lol! XOXO
Thanks, Christy!! Ha!! I have more coming, of course! ;) xoxo
Sooo pretty! I do love that color, too. And I have used the decoupage fiber sheets on a couple of projects and I really like working with it as well.
Thank you, Cyndi! That’s great!! xoxo
Oh, it is so luscious and moody.
You did a great job bringing it new life.
So moody now!! Thank you, my sweet friend! xoxo
This is so pretty. That color is so rich, love it, and the paper goes beautifully with it. What a difference.
Thank you, my friend!! xoxo
Beautiful color, Nancy. I like it much more after it’s dry compared to the way it looks in the jar. The decoupage paper is ideal for this table, and easier than tiling 😁
Thank you, Marcie! Yes, it’s a little brighter in the jar, I agree! And yes, it sure is!! haha!! xo
I really love how this piece came out. So classy. Well done.
Thank you, Rose!! :) xo
This is so beautiful and I love the gloss finish! It was worth skipping tiling it lol.
I feel crafter ignorant but I have never heard of decoupage FIBER.
Decoupage paper, yes.
Decoupage using print napkins, yes.
But what is decoupage FIBER?
It would be great to have a quick post about what are the different options to use in decoupage and the pros and cons of each. Thank you!
Hi Lisa!! Thank you!! The gloss really made it so nice!
Hmm, well, the fiber is really use that. It’s fiber-ish feeling. I suppose it’s similar to tissue paper but much, much thicker/tougher but still thin, if that makes sense. I did a post on all of the Fusion paint products, I might have to do a post on all of these products next because so many new things have come out. That’s a great idea!! :)
That is a very pretty color. Perfect with the pater you chose !
Looks like you could keep that one – looks nice in your room :)
I also like your tiling pieces…
Thanks, p! And yes, the colors do go well in there!! My tiling projects are probably some of my favorites, thank you!
Love it the rich colors! Also, I’m a sucker for Queen Anne legs, so I really like the style!
Thanks, Audra! Oh yes, they really are so lovely!! xoxo
Nancy,
That is elegant, I may have to steal that idea! Breathtaking!!!
Thank you, Marietta!! Yes, please do!! :) xo
