Personalize countless decorative objects with Décopatch

Do you know the decoupage craft technique? And the Décopatch brand? Below we give you all the information about it. The word découpage has its origin in the French term découper, which means to cut or punch. In ancient China they used this technique to decorate paper lanterns. In the seventeenth century in countries like Italy, this technique was known as "poor Venetian art" because it was used to replace painting on all kinds of objects and furniture. It lived its maximum splendor in England in the Victorian era, where small figures were cut to decorate household objects: Furniture and jewelery boxes were adorned with religious, floral and star or bird motifs. Currently, this craft technique is based on cutting and gluing small types of printed paper or fabrics on supports such as wood, cardboard or candles, among many others. The main objective of the découpage technique is to achieve a finish that is as similar as possible to decorative painting and that is why the use of printed paper is complemented with paints and several layers of varnish.

The best of this technique is called Décopatch

No prior knowledge is required, just creativity and a desire to have fun decorating! Within the decoupage decorative universe, the top reference brand for its quality and variety is Décopatch.
