Rice paper / fiber paper: step by step instructions

The rice paper/fiber paper technique is processed in the same way as napkins. The only difference is that the rice paper/fiber paper is torn and not cut out.

The rice paper should first be torn to the correct size so that it does not wrinkle when glued.

Now use a flat brush to prime the object you want to work on with light acrylic paint. The surface should be as smooth and light as possible, this is the only way the rice paper motif will really come into its own later.

Allow the brushed item to dry thoroughly.

Now you can stick the motif on the dried object. To do this, brush napkin glue onto the surface to be decorated and let it dry briefly.

You place the motif on the adhesive layer and carefully press it smooth with a flat brush. If bubbles appear, use the brush to carefully spread them out to the edge.

Now let your most creative work of art dry.

Paint your artwork with the glued fiber paper completely using napkin glue. The bristle brush is best suited for this.

Now you can place decorative elements as desired on the still damp fiber paper.

Finally, let everything dry thoroughly.

I hope you have a lot of fun with your new work of art.
