Vintage Adds is a Roycycled Treasures tissue paper design created for furniture decoupage, decorative art, collage, mixed media and home-décor projects. Use the complete 21 × 29-inch composition as a statement image or cut selected areas to fit drawer fronts, trays, signs and smaller surfaces.
Why You’ll Love It
You’ll love the built-in layers of typography, labels and aged paper detail. The complete sheet creates instant collected character, while individual fragments can be cut apart for journals, collage, signs, drawer fronts and mixed-media work.
More Info
Printed on 18 lb tissue paper that is substantial enough to position and smooth while remaining thin enough to visually settle into a properly adhered and sealed surface. A light-colored prepared background gives the printed colors and fine details their clearest appearance.
Size
21 × 29 inches; 18 lb tissue paper.
How to Use
Prepare a clean surface with light-colored paint or stain-blocking primer and allow it to dry. Apply an even coat of water-based varnish or decoupage medium, place the dry tissue paper in manageable sections and smooth gently from the center outward. Allow the application to dry, trim excess paper with a 220-grit sanding block using downward strokes, and protect the finished surface with one or more compatible topcoats.
