2. With a marker, color around the edges of the parts you have cut out.
(This will ensure a clean finish.)

3. For the parts that will be on top, curl the edges inwards using the modeling tool.

4. Use silicon adhesive to attach, making a three-dimensional shape.

*How-to-make description for use with 6 materials. (Other types of glue apart from silicon adhesive can be used, but silicon adhesive produces the best results.)

What is a 3D Decoupage? *Apply silicon adhesive to

the wooden skewer by drag-
ging the skewer through it.
3D decoupage is a piece of work made with 4 to 10 pictures/print cards of the same kind
by cutting out each element and layering them on top of each other to create a three-
dimensional picture with more volume. This craft, originated in Europe and perfected in
America, will serve as a lovely decoration if you set it in a frame that has depth.
