Paper rope has been around for centuries and in some culture plays an important role in daily activities. Koreans has perfected paper making from mulberry tree and a bride is presented with paper jar made by twisting paper into a rope and is made strong and water proofed by combining a mixture of unripened persimmon juice, rice glue and perilla oil. Ann, of All Things Paper talks about this on her blog. My sister will be participating in upcoming CHA Winter Show and one of the products that will be showcased is the paper rope. She sent me a few samples which will be going in my Etsy Shop.
Paper making is just a fascinating craft, one that I would surely like to explore some more
The choices for color combination is almost endless….
I couldn’t wait to try and make something with it; crocheted coasters, earrings, baskets ……
Small round paper beads were incorporated into the paper rope.
The thought of just recycling paper and cut less trees is appealing, I just love the idea of recycling paper into handmade paper. Hmmm…….so many craft ideas, so little time 🙂
