The word dcoupage comes from the french verb dcouper, 'to cut out'. The dcoupage technique can be used to personalize almost any item in your home. The designs can be as simple or as complex as you like. It is the art of decorating an object by gluing colored paper cut-outs onto it with special paint effects and other decorative elements. Using this technique, you can recycle things and craft anything into beautiful home dcor show pieces or gift items. You will go away at the end of the day with a new skill (which may turn into a passion). Also make and take away two decoupage products home.
