Attach a paper motif and finish it with the same product using Pentart Silky Shine. This water-based combination of decoupage glue and varnish dries to a soft semi-gloss finish.
For napkins, rice paper and regular paper
Use the product underneath and over a napkin or rice-paper motif to attach the decoration and add a varnish layer. For regular paper, soak the paper in water before gluing it. With your own prints, try an offcut first to check how the ink responds to moisture.
Choose the volume for your project
Choose 20, 50, 100, 230 or 1000 ml. A small container is handy for trying the technique; a larger one for several or larger paper decorations. All five are the Silky Shine version. You receive one container of the chosen volume, not a set of five.
Apply from the centre outwards
Spread the glue evenly where you want the motif and place the paper on it. Then apply an even layer over the top, working from the centre towards the edges to remove air bubbles. Let the work dry before further finishing or use.
Finish and tools
Silky Shine gives a soft semi-gloss finish, so choose the container by quantity rather than a different sheen. Clean tools with soap and water and protect the product from frost. Paper, a brush and the item to decorate are needed separately. The range photo shows different containers. Explore glue, mixed media and decoration.
