Decoupage Art

Decoupage Art - Cut. Create. Transform.

The word Decoupage originates from the French term découper, meaning "to cut." This timeless art form—rooted in centuries of global craft traditions—has evolved into a contemporary favorite, blending creativity with sustainability. It involves decorating objects by layering intricately cut paper designs onto a variety of surfaces, then enhancing them with paint effects, gold leaf, and multiple coats of varnish. The result is a stunning, polished piece that breathes new life into everyday items.
