Make Your Own Decorative Paper
Make Your Own Decorative Paper
I just had to share my technique for making my own decorative paper. All you need is copy paper (white or colour), pencil crayons or markers, and craft glue (glitter, white, 3D paint, etc.). I cut my sheets into squares from 3X3 to 5X5 inches for my projects before I colour them. All you have to do now is let loose like you're back in kindergarten! Colour your sheets with whatever you have - markers, paint, pencil crayons, or dye. I like to apply different colours in layers. Then I apply a thin layer of craft glue on the sheets using a spatula or spreader (Note: if you're using paint, let it dry before applying the glue). Depending on the type of glue, you can get some spectacular results! Just remember to place the sheets in a safe place to dry.

What a great and creative idea. I once and only once did similar with paint, but never considered all the options. I'm a very non-creative person and this is extremely helpful.
Thank you ever so much. Your site is terrific also.

I love the colored paper, and this is something my 7yr old would love to help "color" with me. Thank you for sharing.
