WHAT IS DÉCOUPAGE? Decoupage is the art or technique of decorating surfaces by applying shapes or illustrations cut from various forms of paper. According to Merriam-Webster.com, “Decoupage originated in France in the 17th century as a means of artistically decorating pieces of furniture with pictures. It took a few centuries, but by the mid-20th century decoupage became a household name in American interior decoration.”

OUR DECOUPAGE TECHNIQUE is accomplished by first selecting artistic, whimsical images from designer paper napkins. The inked design layer of the three-ply paper napkin is separated, and it is either precut to specific sections of the design, or the excess design will be trimmed after it has been applied. The décor items (such as clay pots, wood birdhouses, wood decor, and glass or metal containers) are always primed with white acrylic paint prior to applying the designs onto the surfaces. Between priming and affixing the designs, a unique acrylic paint color is created to complement the napkin design, and then the areas to be highlighted are painted with the special color-mixture. The decoupage application process requires careful placement of the delicately thin paper napkin over a layer of brushed-on decoupage glue. After the napkin is arranged on the glue, the wrinkles are gingerly but firmly smoothed-out. Then, another generous layer of glue is painted over the top of the napkin design. Once dry, the painted and decoupaged surfaces are completely covered with a clear coat of water-based polyurethane.
