Torn Edges for Paper Crafts

by Domestik Goddess on October 27, 2009

It’s easy to create a professional-looking torn-edge effect to use when you’re scrapbooking or making greeting cards, gift tags, or other torn paper crafts — even some amazing art:

  • Start with a fairly good quality paper — off-white is great for gift tags when layered over a patterned or dark-coloured piece of paper.
  • Set it in lukewarm water. You want it to be completely moist but not soaked.
  • Pat off any extra water and gently tear out the shape you need.

It’s just that easy to get a great effect with torn paper edges for all of your paper craft projects!
