Paper Casting

For this swap you will be making 2 ATC's for your partner with at least one embellishment made using the paper casting technique. I have left a fairly long time until due date to allow for trial and error and drying

To make a paper cast embellishment you need:

• rubber stamp

• tissue paper (napkins or toilet tissue)

• 50/50 water and PVA glue mix

Optional

• inks, paints

• polymer clay

There are 2 methods for this. Either stamp into some conditioned polymer clay (a nice deep impression) and bake prior to making cast or cast directly onto the rubber stamp. Either using clay or direct to stamp, the process is the same.

Place a sheet of tissue on stamp or mould and coat with pva/ water mix, press down firmly (making sure you get into att the details) Repeat with about 8-10 sheets (if you feel it needs more or less go with it)

Use some kitchen towel wadded up to press down firmly and mop up any excess glue/water mix

Leave to dry overnight at least.

Remove from mould/stamp and colour as desired

Ok that is clear as mud right?
