Product Description
Product Description
Decoupage means cutting out - and three-dimensional decoupage is the craft of cutting out and layering multiple copies of the same image to make a picture with a 3-D effect. Unlike traditional decoupage, which is stuck down flat to a surface, the idea is to build up the picture, bringing things which appear in the foreground to the top, both fixing and raising them up by using dabs of silicone-sealant between the layers. Pictures can be simple or intricate: one can create a single flower or a whole scene. This step-by-step guide explains how to use a range of source materials such as coloured paper, colour photocopies, rubber stamps, cards, wrapping paper, and commercial sets of prints, to create 3-D pictures. The guide also explains how to protect and display finished work. The equipment required is inexpensive and the only skill needed is that of cutting out, making this craft accessible to anyone.

I first got into 3d decoupage when a friend wanted me to go to class with her. I went and really enjoyed the class. Through that I obtained this book and have read it from cover to cover. There are good tips from how to look at the picture and decide what to cut out through to framing. The book is well illustrated and with many popular pictures to demonstrate the techniques and depth of pictures. I would highly recommend this book to anybody wishing to learn 3D Decoupage.

As a beginner I was a little disappointed that this book wasn't more comprehensive.Its obvious that the author is very informed about decoupage and I felt that she assumed that the reader was too. Bearing this in mind the book has some great tips and ideas. It's a lovely book but it feels incomplete somehow. I would recommend that this book should be bought alongside a step by step decoupage book if you are a beginner.

Easy to read, good for beginners
6 May 2001
Format:Paperback
This is an easy-to-read and brief guide on the art of decoupage, great for beginners. You'll find basic techniques and tips on how to cut and glue images, frame your work etc as well as some examples to show you how to define and add layers to your work. In addition the author has also covered briefly on the use of different material to create your own work ( eg your own photos). Busy individuals who would like to explore this art over weekends (or with your very limited leisure time) will love this book because it is brief, to the point and practical. However I would recommend this book more to beginners because intermediates or advance lovers of this art would probably find this book a bit too " basic" for you. I give this book 3 stars not because it is not good (in fact if I am a beginner, I would probably give it 4 stars or more), it's just because I'm an intermediate "student" in this art already so I haven't discovered much new skills for myself from this book.
