Have you ever tried to decoupage? It’s a technique that has been around for years, but many people don’t realize what it is and how amazing it can be while crafting. It makes for a fun craft project for kids and adults and is easy to learn.
Since the word is super fancy, most people assume it’s a complex skill that takes years to master and perfect. While some forms of decoupage prove this to be true, it’s actually quite simple. The word decoupage comes from the French word decouper. Decouper means to cut from something else. So essentially, decoupage is simply cutting pieces from something else to create something new. See, pretty simple!
