"VIEW MORE PHOTOS  For centuries, the art of decoupage (derived from the French word decouper, meaning &amp;quot;to cut&amp;quot;) has been used to transform ordinary objects into unique treasures. A favorite hobby of English nobility during the 18th century, it is even mentioned in Jane Austen&amp;#039;s Pride and Prejudice. Many credit artisans of 17th-century Italy and the Far East with perfecting the technique, but the National Guild of Decoupeurs dates the practice back to Siberian nomads who used similar methods to decorate sacred tombs in 8000\u20133000 B.C. One reason for its enduring popularity is that it is easy enough for even the novice crafter\u2014all you need is a pair of small scissors, white glue and any type of decorative paper you happen to have handy.
