How to keep stickers on a table?


I have these fantastic stickers I brought back from Paris, and want to put them on a small table in the basement. Is there something I can put over top of them (paste or something) to protect them from spills or coming off?

You might try testing whatever coating you plan to use on a very small spot on each sticker - some coatings have solvent in them that could attack the printing or even the base of the sticker.

The safest thing to do would be to have a glass or plastic cover cut to fit the table top. Either should have the edges finished or otherwise covered to avoid cuts.

Glue them on with Decoupage, which is a paste to adhere it on the table, once this is done use two or three coats of polyurethane and it will create a nice bond and protection layer on the table. It will have a nice shiny finish.

I have done something similar on a dresser and it has been in perfect condition for 4 + years!!

Good Luck

paint a couple of layers of varnish over them once youve stuck them, you can choose between shiny or matt

Try a coat or two of clear polyurethane.
