The art of gluing cutout paper to a surface for decoration is called Decoupage. Decoupage (pronounced Day-coo-page) is a French craft that originated in the XVIII century. It was made wildly popular by the Victorians, who decoupaged everything from walls to furniture and accessories. Most types of paper can be cut up and used: greeting cards, wrapping paper, calendars, wallpaper, books, newspaper and then arranging these cutouts in a pleasing way on an object such as a box, piece of furniture, tray, or wooden plaque. Most popular of all for decoupaging are black-and-white or colored photocopies. Black-and-white copies can be colored by hand with thin washes of acrylic paint.
