with their portraits on permanent display, a personalized letter rack is a constant reminder to write to loved ones.
Decoupage - the craft of decorating with paper cutouts - is best done with images printed on fairly thin paper.

This letter rack, once plain varnished wood, was simply sanded and sprayed with a water-based paint before being decorated. Family portraits and used postage stamps are an appropriate choice for the piece, which holds stationery, stamps and an address book. They were stuck in place with diluted PVA glue.
Before varnishing, it is advisable to brush over the paper decorations with a coat of diluted PVA. This seals them and prevents the varnish from soaking into the paper and discoloring the images.
