Volumetric decoupage - subspeck of decoupage, which consists in creating the most realistic image. This form is more difficult classic, because it is necessary not only to transfer the drawing, but also to make it volumetric and three-dimensional.

Another feature of the volume decoupage is that each product has 3 main levels:

1. Background;
2. Intermediate;
3. Upper;

The prerequisite is the consolidation of final work, and it is worth saying this separately.
