scrapbook tip
Tear paper for a layout and then carefully wet the torn edges with a q-tip. Gently "roll" the torn edges toward you with your thumb and forefinger. When the paper dries, it will stay rolled or curled, and gives a neat effect. This works especially well with two-sided papers, as the pattern from the opposite side will show when the paper edges are rolled up.

Mock Mulberry Paper
Contributed By Joyce
Due to necessity I came upon this idea when I needed mulberry paper and was out. I used a cloth softener sheet that had been used. First, I dampened it then rolled it with the needed color using my brayer. The texture was great. I went one step farther and crumpled up celophane wrap and used this to lightly sponge the colored sheet with gold ink. It turned out very pretty and brought abooout many comments in my little group. You do need to wet the edges to fray. It doesn't tear as easily as mulberry paper.
