What Makes Rice Paper Special?

Rice paper is a thin, translucent paper that's perfect for decoupage, mixed media, and layering techniques. Unlike regular paper, rice paper becomes almost transparent when adhered with medium or glue, allowing underlying colours and textures to show through beautifully. The fibrous texture adds depth and interest to your projects, while the delicate nature of the paper creates soft, organic edges when torn. It's ideal for creating vintage, shabby chic, and coastal-themed artwork.

How to Use Rice Paper

Apply rice paper using decoupage medium, gel medium, or diluted PVA glue. Brush a thin layer of medium onto your surface, position the rice paper, then gently brush more medium over the top, working from the centre outward to smooth out any bubbles. The paper will become translucent as it dries, revealing the surface beneath. You can tear the edges for a soft, organic look or cut precise shapes with scissors or a craft knife.
