What is Rice Paper Decoupage 

Rice paper is like tissue but much easier to use, you need decoupage glue to apply it to your project.

30gsm Mulberry Rice paper

This option has threads of cotton through it so I would recommend always painting white under where it is being applied first as it becomes quite translucent when glued and the flecks show through if it is on a dark surface. This option is better for uneven or spherical surfaces eg: bottles

40gsm Fiberless Rice paper 

 This option has no flecks so the image quality is not impaired, it is very slightly thicker so is easier to use and does not tend to crease so easily. 

60gsm Fiberless Rice paper 

This option is available on the A1 and A2 large scale decoupage, it has superb image quality and bright colours and has been especially developed for furniture upcycle.

Tips on applying rice paper

For best results always apply to a light surface so as not to lose the brightness of the image. If you want a dark surface blend the paint around the image after it has been applied and is dry.

Always glue the paper in stages, never try and glue it all down at once. You can also lightly mist the back of the paper with water this extends the time to move it around. Use a ball of cling film to smooth out the creases as you go.

I would recommend watching some YouTube vids on applying rice paper decoupage if you have not used it before.
