If you know how to cut and paste, then you will be able to start this new craft. Read somewhere that this craft was considered as poor man’s art because those who could not afford to hire painter to paint in their house will resort to cutting and pasting the decorative pictures into their plate, cupboard etc.
However now it is not so cheap to indulge in decoupage. The paper with decorative pictures itself cost certain amount, and you need to buy the decoupage medium like special glue, the sealer/varnish which in the end make you poorer in pocket..hahaha..
Well those interested to know more about the history of decoupage, kindly check this.
The picture was taken from this site which should have information on how to decoupage and gilding, with free projects, decoupaged and gilded treasures for sale, and of course, their wonderful book, “Elegant Decoupage with Paper, Gold Leaf and Fabric.” I tried the given site address for their decoupage website but the site was not there..huhuhu…
