Decoupage
Decoupage is the art of decorating an object by gluing colored paper cutouts onto the object in combination with special paint effects. Commonly an object like a small box, vase, candlestick or whatever is covered by cutouts from special decoupage paper or thin posters. Each layer is sealed with varnishes (often multiple coats) until the "stuck on" appearance disappears and the result looks like painting or inlay work. The traditional technique used 30-40 layers of varnish which were then sanded to a polished finish.
