Craft Ark Project - Scrap Booking - Making Your Own Backing Papers – Chalk Dusting
We’ve raided our cupboards again and come up with yet another idea for you to create your own backing paper.

Project Shopping List

  • Craft Chalks
  • Sponges or cotton wool
  • Spray fixer (hair spray is a good substitute)
  • Paper to decorate

  • Instructions
    Step Two - Simply pick up a little chalk onto one of your sponges and wipe gently over the paper.
    Step Three - To add interest, use three or more colours building up your design.
    Step Four - When you are happy with your design, seal the chalk by lightly spraying with a spray fixative.
    Step One - To stop the paper from buckling stretch the paper (see tricks of trade below).
