I made these tissue paper prints sheets for when I was doing my decoupage boxes project! I couldn't find any good ideas or vintage templates so I did my own. Please free to use any collage sheet for your personal projects, just do not resell in whole or as a finished project. All rights reserved.

Using Decoupage Tissue Paper
When I decided to do a HUGE project to make storage boxes for my office, I thought I would like to use all kinds of eclectic and cool paper to make it really fun and interesting.
I trotted out and got a whole bunch of scrapbook paper and tried to decoupage with it.. wah, wah, wah. It was WAY too heavy to stick on there and made for some really weird, bunpy boxes.
Then I decided to do napkins and went looking, but I really didn't like the idea of a repeating pattern on each box, I really wanted something cooler than that!
Something like this!
I was super lucky to find a cool old bookcase that an artist had done up in bright Chinese red paint and they look super neat all hanging out together on the shelves.
I store my vintage Etsy and Ebay stock in some of them and then have an amazing little shelving unit that I found which holds three of them perfectly one on top of another for my photography props garlands (I will for sure show you them in another post about storage!)
The key to making these is that I designed the collage sheets to cover one whole side of a box from Michaels (love me some Michaels). Then I use more generic patterns for the sides rather than having so many different patterns.
I used public domain images from Graphics Fairy to make all the designs! (if you like this kind of vintage retro look, you will love the things they have for graphic design)
Funny story, years ago I spent 6 months preparing to do a bottle decoupage project. I researched it, bought all kinds of supplies, collected bottles, then sat down to do it and found out I HATE tearing apart little pieces of paper and I would for sure never have something like that in my house!
I hate the look of “normal” decoupage that is either way to choppy and messy or the kind where you do shabby white paint and stick a picture on it.
I like my decoupage to be way more sophisticated and clean than that!
Then I figured out I could use some smaller pieces to make blocks for my product photography… YAY!
I love that I can add pops of color in my pictures without taking away too much from the look of my products.
I also did some smaller “side” pieces that you might want to use in your crafting!
How To Order Tissue Paper From Zazzle
I almost gave up on my boxes project before I found out that I could print sheets of tissue paper at Zazzle.
The prices are super affordable and they have sales often enough that I just keep my peepers open and get a good discount.
They come in a flat package with all the sheets ready to use…
To use my files, simply right click them to download and them upload them Zazzle (I put the size and weight of paper by each file download)
How To Use The Free Downloadable Printable Files
Super important before you start >> You will need to download the files that say “Right Click Here” to get the large printable files to use when printing or when you upload to Zazzle for printing!
The pictures of the files on this page are small so that they will show up on the web…they are NOT big enough to use for printing!
I made these files for my personal use in my wood blocks and decoupage storage boxes for my home office. They are made from images that are in the public domain, but the designs of the files are mine. Feel free to use them in your craft projects, but not to resell or to make items for sale!
