TIPS

The paper will become supple and bendable after applying PIR. The more wrinkles you create, the finer lined your paper will become.

To create luminous leather, lightly brush Perfect Pearls over one side of the crumpled paper.

This process can be done on light or dark colored papers. If using light colored paper, you can use chalk or ink to highlight the paper, along with Perfect Pearls

After ironing, the paper will be soft for a while and can be used to cover boxes and book covers. The paper will miter without breaking
