Chromacryl Texture Paste Medium
White Glue
Non-Bleeding Tissue Paper
Plastic Modeling Tools
White Railroad Board
Paint Brush
Use texture paste and tissue paper to create a collage!
Steps
- Step 1Cut the railroad board to desired size (6x8” used in examples).
- Step 2Make an interesting design with the modeling tools and texture medium. Let the paste dry overnight.
- Step 3Cut or rip shapes out of the tissue to match all of the patterns created by the texture paste in your design.
- Step 4Using glue in a decoupage-like manner, paste the tissue paper to the design. Use firm pressure to push the tissue into all of the grooves of the paste so the design stands out.
- Optional Tip 1The more the texture paste stands off of the railroad board, the more your design will show once covered with tissue paper.
- Optional Tip 2Leave blank areas on the railroad board, which will create a more dramatic design (don't cover the entire board with texture paste).
- Optional Tip 3Try adding embellishments, such as glitter or sand.
- Optional Tip 4Mix different types of tissues, such as bleeding tissue, for a varied effect.
