kite paper
Durable transparent coloured glassen paper is traditionally used for kite making. This semi-transparent paper is ideal for making window stars, transparencies, lanterns and many other creative projects; and it is food safe!
Glassen paper has a 'waxy' feeling and is often mistakenly referred to as Wax paper. It is also known as Kite Paper, due to its strength and versatility. Interestingly, it is made without wax, and the paper properties are quite different to wax paper.
Glassen paper is made from paper pulp that undergoes a special 'making' process. It is not coated with anything nor does it have anything 'extra' added to the pulp. The process itself creates the qualities in the paper - durability, transparency, shine, and the waxy feeling.
Glassen paper can be used to wrap foodstuffs as it is water-repellant (not water-proof). Our Glassen paper is certified as safe to wrap foodstuffs. This means everything in it is non-toxic and yes it will indeed biodegrade, and is vegan-safe!
