Creating unique collage papers using 7 types of rolling pins
In this video, I’m going to show you how to use seven types of rolling pins to create the most fabulous and unusual collage papers.
There are so many rolling pins that work with this technique, starting with a traditional rolling pin, as well as those created for cake decorating that are embossed with different patterns. Other great options are lint brushes and condiment bottles where you stick self-adhesive foam shapes onto, transforming them into unique rollers.
As far as papers, anything goes, from plain copy paper, tissue paper, the envelopes from bills, and my favorite, collage papers that you don’t like so much. This magical technique is as easy as pouring paint, rolling paint onto your roller, and rolling the paint on paper!

Cat has simply THE best collage techniques ever! I really love how she explains the process so you feel like a superhero when creating your collage.
What a loving thing to say Tess. Thanks so much for being part of my art journey, and allowing me into yours!
I love all those colours! Thanks for the inspiration to return to the papers I put to one side!
Yes this is amazing to revive old papers!
Cath, a great idea to reuse those papers that just need more layers to make them, “O’yes!”
I was wondering if stamping rollers would work with a thin layer of paint, I’ll have to experiment and play. Thanks for all inspiration.
Absolutely, stamping rollers would work great for this technique! Enjoy playing!
