CREPE PAPER USES
USES FOR CREPE PAPER
What can you use crepe paper for? There are many things you can make with crepe paper such as paper flowers, dolls, costumes, piñatas, and many more items to decorate with etc.
You can find all types of books, e-books, articles, and instructions for many of these things on the Internet or some of them even in bookstores.
Crepe paper is easier to work with than other types of paper since it is stretchable and this makes it easy to form into the shapes that you might need for your projects.
When your crepe paper may get wet or when you are using markers or other coloring materials and they have a tendency to run you may want to use a bleed resistant crepe paper.
Some crepe paper is fade resistant that usually means that over a time period that the colors will stay as bright colored as when they were made and will not fade as easy as the other type of crepe paper. The sun also will not fade them as easily.
A lot of the crepe paper today are flame resistant that means if they are too close to a flame they will not catch on fire as quick as if they were not flame resistant and if they do come in contact with a fire it may even go out on its own. Don’t put it to the test it may be a little safer but do not take it for granted that it won’t burn.
The crepe papers we like the best are the ones that are bleed, fade, and flame resistant. Don’t get me wrong we do use the other types too; we just like the other ones the best.
Sometimes we need the crepe paper that does bleed to make some of our paper flower designs to look like the real thing so we use the crepe paper that does bleed. You may need for some of your decorations that you make to bleed so you will find out the same thing.
Have a fun time using crepe paper for whatever project that you may want to do, but remember crepe paper makes beautiful paper flowers.
