Torn Edges for Paper Crafts

by domestika on October 17, 2005

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 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 — and 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.
