The decoupage technique has recently been gaining more and more popularity due to its originality and ease of execution. It is enough to purchase simple tools, find unnecessary dishes or wood products in the house and you can safely create.
According to one theory, the decoupage technique dates back to the 13th century and originated in China, when peasants cut out figures from paper and then applied them to a tree or stone. According to other researchers, decoupage came from Eastern Siberia. However, this technique flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries, when furniture decorating became incredibly popular in Europe.
The art of decoupage reached Russia by the beginning of the 21st century. Of the many techniques in this direction, the three-dimensional napkin technique has gained particular popularity. It is not difficult to master it, and as a result, even those who cannot draw at all get the opportunity to apply the drawings they like on almost any surface. In addition to paper, decoupage involves the use of fabric. In this way, you can transform old, lost appearance objects in the house, as well as make them unique and inimitable.
If earlier angels, shepherds and shepherdesses, and other sentimental drawings were preferred as drawings, now abstract images are popular. Everyone can master the decoupage technique, the main thing is imagination and a creative approach to business. By the way, representatives of European royal families were happy to do decoupage.
