Decoupage - Découpage

 

Découpage is a decorative art technique that involves cutting out and pasting paper or fabric onto surfaces to create intricate designs. The cut-out pieces are often layered and glued onto objects such as furniture, boxes, trays, and even walls. Once the pieces are affixed, they are sealed with a protective coat of varnish. Découpage allows for endless possibilities in terms of design, as different patterns, colors, and textures can be combined to create visually appealing compositions. It originated in the 17th century and has evolved into a popular crafting and artistic technique today.
