If your tissue paper has a shiny side, it’s often ideal to place that facing down. But you can try printing on both sides to see what looks best with your printer. Gently roll the tissue paper onto the backing paper using a brayer, acrylic roller, or glass jar.
Additionally, can I use normal paper for decoupage?
You can use pretty much any kind of paper, that you want. You can use Magazine Paper, Newspaper, Wrapping paper, Wallpaper, Paper Napkins, playing cards, crafting paper and even fabric. As long, as the Decoupage glue, that you are using, can glue it to the surface of your project, then you can use it for Decoupage.
If decoupaging a large surface, a thicker paper can be better as it will not wrinkle as easily. To make sure your paper will be able to fold easily, let your paper soak in water until it is malleable. Make sure to keep your hands wet so the paper does not tear.
Similarly one may ask, how do you decoupage with inkjet paper?
You can decoupage images printed with an ink jet printer by lightly coating the image with a base coat of white glue mixed with water, and letting it dry before proceeding. Using a water-based varnish will further eliminate any risk of theink bleeding.
