Turn any strips of paper, including a beer label, into fun ornaments to deck out your Christmas tree using these easy (yet kinda messy) steps: There are two liquid materials I'm scared of more than anything: bleach and decoupage glue so make sure to cover your surface! No one needs decoupage glue on their dining room table so seriously make sure you protect your surface when creating this type of craft!
