Talking Decoupage - no laughing

İ have got it into my head that decoupaging everything in sight will brighten my mood as well as my surroundings

İ have got some paper designs ready to cut out, İ've painted the surfaces and İ already have some varnish. But İ am not sure which glue to use. Web sites seem to suggest nearly everything is ok including wallpaper paste but İ am dubious.

Anyone have any idea - in Turkish would be great and cheap as chips even better!!

Thanks for your nice comment Sparrow

Thanks for the glue advice. İ will get some PVA and post up some photos of my efforts for you all to chuckle over. İ am trying out a couple of vases and a table and four chairs are getting a subtle decorative effect (İ hope). İ found some fabulous serviettes in Bim that have great designs on that are a bit retro and very cheerful - like me, honest
