In today’s video I’m creating incredible gel plate textures using wallpaper and simple paper packaging. My best friend Alison brought a roll of wallpaper to the studio, and we quickly discovered it makes an amazing texture tool for gel printing.
This beginner-friendly tutorial is part of my Cheap & Easy Gel Printing series, where I explore creative ways to make beautiful gelli prints and collage papers without expensive supplies. The raised patterns in the wallpaper create rich organic textures that add depth and movement to your prints.
If you love gel plate printing, mixed media art, monoprinting, and creating your own collage papers, this simple technique will open up a whole new world of texture.
Grab your gel plate, acrylic paint, and a few textured materials — and let’s start printing. Let’s celebrate creative freedom — without breaking the budget.
