FAQs
What are the dimensions of each tissue paper sheet?
Each sheet measures 50 x 70 cm.
How many sheets are in a pack?
There are 10 sheets of tissue paper in each pack.
What is the weight of the tissue paper?
The tissue paper is 17gsm (grams per square meter), making it very lightweight and thin.
Can I use regular white glue to adhere the tissue paper?
While possible, it is recommended to use lacquer glue or decoupage lacquer for best results to avoid wrinkling and ensure even adhesion. Regular glue can cause tearing if applied too heavily.
What kind of projects is this tissue paper best suited for?
It's ideal for decoupage, paper art, gift wrapping, DIY decorations (like pom poms), collage, mixed media, and children's crafts.
Are the colours opaque or transparent?
The tissue paper sheets are transparent and coloured, which allows for beautiful layered and light-catching effects.
Does the paper have any smell?
The product description mentions it may have a slight smell that decreases after unpacking. It is recommended to air the sheets out before use.
Troubleshooting
Paper tears easily during manipulation.
Handle with care, especially when folding or stretching. Use gentle pressure and consider using longer, smoother strokes when cutting or tearing.
Adhesive causes wrinkling or shows through unevenly.
Apply a thin, even layer of lacquer glue or decoupage lacquer. Ensure the adhesive is spread uniformly before placing the tissue paper. Avoid oversaturation.
Colour appears dull after application.
Ensure you are layering colours to enhance vibrancy or that the underlying surface is light-coloured, as the transparency can affect the final hue.
Slight odour present.
The odour is temporary and will dissipate after unpacking and airing the sheets for a short period in a well-ventilated area.
