GUMMED PAPER

This page contains some more ideas for easy designs to apply to objects using brightly coloured paper shapes.

It is possible to buy some shapes that have already been cut-out. Alternatively it is possible to buy sheets of paper and cut out the shapes yourself either freehand or using a template.

One idea would be to create a picture, like the scene on the fire screen. To give it a dramatic 'art deco' look, outline the shapes with a dark colour. The edges of pictures and articles like the blotter would be neatened and sealed together with a binding called 'passe-partout',  It is also used here to mark straight lines on the objects.
