What To Use When Decoupaging
When it comes to decoupaging, you can use napkins, old wrapping paper, and even favorite photos. No surface or item will be safe and you will be amazed at what you can make.
Decoupage originated in France in the 17th Century as a form of decorating. It was particularly prevalent on cabinets, bookcases, and other pieces of furniture. It was also favored by the Chinese.
