USES FOR CREPE PAPER
What can you use crepe paper for? Paper flowers, costumes, dolls, and pinatas are only some of tje things you might make using crepe paper to decorate with.
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.
You can find crepe paper that is bleed resistant, which means that your colored crepe paper will not run if it gets wet, and when you are using markers or other coloring materials they will not run into the other parts of your 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.
Most of the crepe papers any more are flame resistant which means that if they do get close to flames they will not catch on fire as quick as they would if they were not flame resistant and when not in direct contact with the flames it will extinguish on its own. Flame resistant may be a little safer but if put to the test do not take it for granted that it won’t.
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.
When we make some of our paper flowers we sometimes need the paper that does bleed for some of the flower designs to look like the real thing. You will probably find out the same thing when you make the different decorations that may need to bleed a little.
Have a fun time using crepe paper for whatever project that you may want to do, but remember crepe paper makes beautiful paper flowers.
