I'm thinking of starting a decoupage project involving a set of wooden bookshelves. I've never decoupaged before, so I'd love some advice -- what's the best stuff to use to stick everything on, and what should I use to seal it?

Also, I'm planning to paint some picture frames, but I'm also woefully inept at painting -- should I use acrylic paint, or house paint or something else? And is there anything I should and/or can use to seal that to make the paint last longer? Oh, these will be unfinished frames, btw.

Thanks in advance to any advice given!
