Wondering about Kite Paper?


Kite Paper is a semi-transparent paper ideal for making window stars, transparencies, lanterns and many other creative projects; and it is food-safe!

Kite paper's official name is Glassen Paper. With a 'waxy' feeling and is often mistakenly referred to as Wax or Waxey paper.

Interestingly,  it is made without wax, the paper properties are quite different to wax paper, and the waxy feeling is an intentional result of the way the paper is made.

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.

Our Kite paper is certified as safe to wrap foodstuffs and is water-repellant (not water-proof). This means everything in it is non-toxic and yes it will indeed biodegrade, and is vegan-safe!

Almost 5 stars.

Really nice paper. A little more like tissue paper more tender (slightly more prone to tearing) than the kite paper we've used before. But the colour selection is nice and the larger size is also awesome, allowing for all different sized stars for our windows.
