Deca-what?

Decoupage-

1 : the art of decorating surfaces by applying cutouts (as of paper) and then coating with usually several layers of finish (as lacquer or varnish)
2 : work produced by decoupage

— decoupage or découpage transitive verb



Emily-my ever so creative roommate-decided that she wanted to have a decoupage party. Oh, and it was going to be for her Birthday(which she neglected to tell people in the inviting process, therefore adding some bewildered faces when we came out singing with a cake and candles). The above definition gives you a pretty good idea of what we did...to our coffee table. It was really cool, we had everyone bring something/anything that they wanted to put on to represent themselves or just make it look cool. We had everything from a cd with swing dancing music to a billion dollar check signed by Chris Terry! My personal favorite is the picture of us five roommates with the words "Grand Central" around it (We live on Central Ave.) Everyone got really into it and the end result turned out to be nothing less than amazing...and the memories on it will definitely be long lasting.
