If you decoupage with napkins, then you probably have pulled quite a few part only to have the excess thrown away. Well, don't.

Use that napkin backing to soak up extra ink or watercolor or whatever colorful mess you have.

THEN, you can decoupage with that piece of beautiful mess. It will probably be a very thin piece so you'll have to be delicate in how you use it.

It also works well with paper towels, baby wipes, tissue paper, wrapping paper- whatever you have!

If you don't have those scraps laying around, then keep some napkins or tissue paper near by to use. Or even some scratch paper! Any thing that will soak up some ink!

Don't let all that color go to waste!

This is definitely my favorite tip that I use ALL THE TIME.

I'm a huge fan of those cheap but adorable wall sticker designs from Dollar Tree. I'm always on the lookout for the newest one because you can do several different layouts with one sheet.

I'm also a huge fan of using all the leftover sticker background to make my own stickers. If you've seen my quote journal pages, this is what I use for the words. I stamp out different words on the scraps for my own word stickers.

I also do this with the leftover clear sticker paper for when I print my printables. Clear sticker paper is more versatile because you can use the tiniest weird shaped pieces and you won't see the edges as much as you would white.

Sticker paper isn't cheap and there's no need to waste it when you can make your own stickers from the stamps you already own! Or make your own doodles.

**When stamping on any type of gloss sticker paper, make sure you use a solvent based ink like Tsukineko StazOn Multi-Surface Inkpad, Jet Black! Dye ink and pigment ink will smear and color shift over time.
