Cut the paper you want to print on to the desired size. Use a ruler and utility knife to make your cuts as even as possible.
Squeeze several teaspoons of acrylic paint into a shallow plastic container and use a spoon to mix in a teaspoon of glycerin. Repeat this step for each color you want to print, using a different plastic container for each shade.
Cut a piece of freezer paper with sides that measure at least 1 inch smaller than your printing paper. Once you tear a piece of paper off the roll, use a ruler and utility knife to make even cuts.
Tape the freezer paper to your work surface with the waxy side facing upward.
Create your design. You can apply the paint to the freezer paper with a variety of paintbrushes and sponges.
Add texture with wood grain tools, pick combs or rubber stamps.

Gently press on the paper to transfer your design and slowly pick it up.
Allow the print to dry.
Print multiple layers onto your paper to create rich, textured monoprints. Use the method described above to design and print each layer.
