Welcome to Pridiacraft.co.za
We at Pridiacraft have been in the business of making decoupage and scrapbooking requirements for some time now. Apart from making decoupage blanks of all shapes and sizes (there has thus far not been a design we couldn’t make), and which can also be used for mosaic or other techniques (we have no problem adapting them for any special requirement you may have) we have started to specialize in scrapbooking requirements and have designed a number of storage units for the scrapper, ranging from paper trays (see the website for sizes Jumbo to Dinki – whichever you require) to storage units that evolved from customer requirements (see the website for the Combo, the Donsie combo (named after our good friend Donsie).
We also make scrapbook frames, single and double size (see the website for examples) with finishes ranging from whitewash, “antique white” right through to imbuia and darkest teak, our latest addition being “wood wash” a streaky wooden finish.
We have had requests for specially made box frames, made exactly to customer requirements as to depth width and finish. A few of these may also be seen on the website.
Wooden artist’s easels is another product we have been making with great success and are currently working on a special kiddie’s model.We use Meranti for these and easels can be purchased either in the raw or finished with special protective sealant.
Our very latest plan is to adapt the existing scrapbooking storage units for office use and we’ll be finishing our first Office Jumbo – a paper tray with 32 divisions to fit A4 paper, instead of Scrapbooking paper. The Pridia standard paper tray, as well as the Dinki will also be available in this range.Photo’s should be available shortly.

The definition of decoupage according to The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language-Fourth Edition.New York Houghton Mifflin Company, 2000 is as follows:
- Decoupage
- 1. The technique of decorating a surface with cutouts, as of paper.
- 2. A creation produced by this technique.
- French découpage, from couper, to cut up or out, from Old French descolper,, + colper, to cut, from colp, stroke.
Decoupage is a technique used to decorate furniture and articles such as boxes, lamp bases, firescreens, vases, tea trays, decorative plates, and just about anything you like, using paper cutouts which are then sealed and varnished. Numerous coats of varnish are applied to achieve a level and smooth finish.
Additional techniques can also be used to finish the article, such as crackle varnishing and aging, gold leafing and the addition of beads, mother of pearl and iridescent paints.
