FAQs

What is the 180% stretch ratio?

The 180% stretch ratio means the paper can be stretched to 180% of its original length without tearing, making it ideal for shaping and molding.

What kind of glue should I use?

For glitter and stem coverings, use Multi Glue. For larger leaves or when quick drying is necessary, a low-temperature glue gun is recommended.

Can I use this paper for outdoor decorations?

The paper is not water-resistant and is best suited for indoor decorations. Exposure to moisture may damage the paper.

How do I cut the paper for intricate shapes?

Use sharp scissors and take your time. For detailed work, consider using a craft knife or template to ensure accuracy.

How should I store the crepe paper?

Store the paper flat in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to prevent damage.

What age group is this paper suitable for?

This paper is suitable for both young people and adults, making it great for a wide range of crafters.

Troubleshooting

Paper tears easily during shaping.

Ensure you are using the correct stretching technique and avoid pulling the paper too hard. Consider using thinner strips for more delicate areas.

Glue bleeds through the paper.

Use Multi Glue for precise application and avoid applying too much glue. For larger areas, a low-temperature glue gun is recommended.

Paper loses its shape over time.

Make sure that you have allowed sufficient drying time, and store your creations in a cool, dry place.
