🧠  What is rice paper

Rice paper is an ultra-thin yet durable art paper with natural fibers, specially designed for decoupage, mixed media and artistic crafts. It blends seamlessly into surfaces, creating a hand-painted look once applied.

Unlike standard decorative papers, rice paper:

  • adapts easily to curved or textured surfaces
  • blends smoothly without visible edges
  • creates a natural, professional finish



🛠️ Where it’s used

Rice paper is perfect for:

  • Decoupage on wood, MDF, canvas, glass, ceramic and metal
  • Mixed media layering
  • Art journaling & collage
  • Home décor & decorative crafts
  • Scrapbooking as focal elements



✂️ How to use it (step-by-step)

  1. Prepare the surface
    Clean the surface and apply primer or base paint if needed.
  2. Cut or tear
    Cut with scissors or tear by hand for a softer, organic edge.
  3. Apply glue
    Use decoupage glue or gel medium. Apply a thin layer to the surface.
  4. Place the paper
    Gently position the rice paper and smooth from the center outward.
  5. Seal it
    Apply another thin layer of glue on top to secure it.
  6. Finish (optional)
    Once dry, add acrylics, waxes, patinas or varnish.



💡 Why choose rice paper

  • Blends better than scrapbooking paper
  • Reduces wrinkles
  • Ideal for layering and vintage effects
  • Creates a refined, artistic result



Pro Tip:
Soften the edges with a bit of water or gel medium before fully drying to help the design blend into the background.
