Houston is by far the hardest working elf in the Portberry Crafts household and as such is on a special trip today and tomorrow but not before he opened box number 5.

He’s particularly excited about a nice big box, and this one has not one but two goodies, a bottle of EasyCoat Mat and EasyCoat Glossy.

And they are almost as big as him.

Designed as a varnish and decoupage glue, its perfect for adding rice paper to your projects. Rice Paper adds additional depth to your projects and are perfect for adding elements to canvas projects.

With this project,  I started with a coat of blue and white Powertex before fixing the Rice Paper with EasyCoat Glossy. To help blend the paper in, I added EasyStructure before finishing with cloth and embellishments.

If you are not sure where to start with Rice Papers, check out the Free Tutorial on Powertex UK website and share your work on our Facebook group.
