    Two other inexpensive tools that work well with paste painting are plastic
    bottle caps (turn them as you push them and you will get marks that look like
    giant noodles) and one inch strips of cardboard which you can use as you
    would a style C ink pen to get thick and thin zig-zag lines.

    We also make our own eraser stamps or foam stamps and use them.

    Plastic letters (such as H) from alphabet sets (toy department at Odd Lots)
    also make interesting patterns. Hold the letter upright as you move it
    through the paste.

    Wal-mart has rubber graining tools (grouting tools) in two sizes in their
    crafts department. There are four different edges on these. They work great!

    A workshop instructor liked to let one color dry with marks on it. She would
    then put on a different color and make marks, which allowed the first layer
    to show through in parts.

    When I make paste papers for myself, I will sprinkle glitter on some of
    them--in small amounts--while they are wet. The glitter adheres to the paste
    as it dries with pretty results.
