Decoupage

According to Dictionary.com, the word decoupage means “the art or technique of decorating something with cut-outs of paper, linoleum, plastic, or other flatmaterial over which varnish or lacquer is applied.” I came across this word in the story “Go Carolina” when David was explaining where his projects were stored in his therapy room. For example, “… and our decoupage projects were concealed beneath the sporting equipment we never asked for but always recieved”. I knew decoupage was describing the project in some way but I wasnt sure what it exactly meant until I looked it up.
