Everything Papercraft - Texture Paste

Borrowed from the world of decorative painting, texture paste is a substance that is usually mixed with acrylic paint to stiffen its consistency allowing it to hold a shape or form. In papercraft, it’s widely applied to surfaces through a stencil, which leaves a raised pattern that is further decorated or coloured once dry.

Here is a recipe for making your own texture paste at home:

2 parts acrylic paint

2 parts talc (or cornflour)

1 part PVA glue

Mix together thoroughly and store in an air-tight container.
