Decopatch

Over the weekend I took the girls to a decopatch workshop. I wasn't expecting much, but it was more interesting than I expected. I knew nothing about this craft before, basically sticking torn patches of paper onto an object to decorate it. The workshop used animals, but they were ready made, we did not have to sculpt them, we just had to cover them with paper. At bit like 3D colouring in. Covering little boxes would be even better! I like making this type of thing, but I don't like decorative clutter. What to do with stuff you make?? Of course these animals can't go on display, so into the cupboard with them.

As salaam alaikum,

Is this basically the same thing as paper mache?
