✨ Texture Tools for Gel Printing ✨

Want to take your gel prints from flat to fabulous? In this video, I’ll show you how to use scraps and discarded packaging to make texture to add depth, pattern, and interest to your gel plate prints. There are so many fun ways to create unique textures on the plate.

Gel printing is all about play—so grab a brayer, your gel plate, and some paint, and let’s experiment with textures together!
