The word découpage comes from the French term découper, which means to cut.

Remove any old paint residue and sand rough surfaces smooth. If you want to decouple a smooth surface such as glass or metal, it is also good to lightly sand it. Then wipe the surface with a damp cloth and make sure it is clean, free of grease and dry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf the découpage paper you chose is light, the color of the furniture may show through.
