It typically contains clearly visible fibers of irregular size, arranged in all directions all over the paper surface, giving it an original and interesting look. You can use these papers for decoupage, scrapbooking, collage art, journaling, mixed media and furniture, whole or cut up. If you tear rather than cut, the edges will blend beautifully into the background. The colors of the images appear most vibrant when applied over white or light backgrounds.

Color varies greatly from screen to screen, we cannot guarantee that the color you see on your screen accurately portrays the true color of the product. DECOUPAGE is the art of decorating an object by gluing colored paper cut-outs onto it in combination with special paint effects, gold leaf and other decorative elements. Normally, an object like a small box or an item of furniture is covered by cut-outs from magazines or from purpose-manufactured papers. Each layer is sealed with varnish (often multiple coats) until the "stuck on" appearance disappears and the result looks like painting or inlay work. The traditional technique used 30 to 40 layers of varnish which were then sanded to a polished finish. IT'S MUCH EASIER NOW: Just apply decoupage glue to the surface of your object then smooth on the rice paper. Starting in the center of the sheet and push outwards with a cloth ball or fingers to eliminate wrinkles and bubbles. Coat with more decoupage glue or other finishing medium and allow to dry.
