Cushion

1 Using the fabric, sew a cushion panel of 27cm square and turn right sides out.

2 Print the following USB designs onto rice paper: 1x Victorian 01, 2x Floral 01. Use a flat paintbrush with water to wet, then tear the patterned edge off one side of each of the Floral 01 rice paper sheets. This will allow them to seamlessly meet in the middle and the florals will border the design

3

Cut or tear the framed sewing bust motif from the Victorian 01 rice paper.

4 Apply the fabric découpage glue with a flat brush to the reverse of the floral rice paper; gluing one at a time will give time to position the paper on the fabric. Once in place, glue the second down, mirroring the florals.

5 Apply the fabric découpage glue to the reverse of the rice paper frame, and position in the centre of the cushion. Once all paper is in place, use a light coat of the fabric découpage glue to seal the design.

6Leave the project to dry for 30 minutes at room temperature, alternatively dry with a hairdryer for 2-3 minutes. Once dry, heat set the fabric on the wrong side with an iron, to the temperature the fabric will take. Your project is now machine washable at 30°C.

Glass plate

1 Print the following USB designs onto rice paper: 1x Victorian 02, 1x Floral 05. Use scissors to cut out the overlayed notes and script from the Victorian 02 paper. Cut multiple ones from the top and the bottom to be positioned at both ends of the plate.

2 Fussy cut the flowers, leaves and buds from the Floral 05 paper.

3 A pply the matt découpage glue with a flat paintbrush to the surface of the print on the Victorian 02 paper elements. Position these on the reverse of the glass plate, to allow the print to show through the glass.

4 B egin to apply the matt découpage glue to the floral elements, again on the surface of the print. Position these coming in from both opposite corners of the plate (rice paper overhanging the plate is fine).

5 Leave glue to dry for 30 minutes, or use a heat gun for 1-2 minutes. Once totally dry, use a sanding block on the overhanging rice paper to yield a clean edge to the plate.

6 S patter the rice papered side of the glass with metallic gold paint for a mottled look. Use a heat gun for 1-2 minutes to set the paint.

7 U sing the Champagne acrylic paint, sponge over the rice paper and glass. Pouncing the paint with the sponge will give full coverage, making the colours pop. Heat seat with a heat gun for 1-3 minutes.

Candle

1 Print the following designs from the USB onto rice paper: 1x Victorian 03. Cut the rice paper so it wraps around the candle. Cover the reverse of the rice paper with a light mist of stencil spray, and place it over the candle in the desired position, ensuring it lays flat and smooth. The spray will allow the paper to cling to the candle during the heating process.

2 Cut a section of greaseproof paper to wrap around the candle over the rice paper, and hold in place. S lowly move a heat gun around the surface of the greaseproof paper so the wax candle begins to melt. As soon as the wax softens, move the heat to the next area until all the rice paper is adhered.

3 Remove the greaseproof paper and allow the candle to cool. If any areas haven’t stuck, re-cover with the greaseproof paper and repeat the heating process.

4 W hen cooled, decorate the candle with ribbons or hessian strips wrapped around at both ends. The candle is for decorative purposes and is not suitable for lighting.
