decoupage is the traditional paper craft technique of layering identical pictures one on top of the other to create a 3D effect.
It's a great activity for clubs catering for a wide range of ages and abilities, since methods varying in difficulty can be learnt. Layers can be created in different ways and there are various cutting and sticking techniques to try, each giving a different effect.
At the easiest level, single, bold images can be stacked to create an eye-catching design that looks great as decoration on anything from greeting cards to storage boxes.
