USES FOR CREPE PAPER 

What can you use crepe paper for? There are many things you can make with crepe paper such as paper flowers, dolls, costumes, piñatas, and many more items to decorate with etc.

For many of these things such as books, e-books, articles, and instructions you can find them on the Internet or some even in bookstores.

Crepe paper is easier to work with than other types of paper since it is stretchable and this makes it easy to form into the shapes that you might need for your projects.

You can get the crepe papers that are bleed resistant, that is the color of your paper will not run on your other paper designs if it gets wet, and markers or other coloring materials will not run when used on this paper.

 Also some the crepe papers are fade resistant and that means over time the colors will not fade as easily as the ones that don’t emphasize this point. Also they will not fade in the sun as easily.

A lot of the crepe paper today are flame resistant that means if they are too close to a flame they will not catch on fire as quick as if they were not flame resistant and if they do come in contact with a fire it may even go out on its own. This makes it a little safer but do not take for granted that it won’t burn if put to the test.

The crepe papers we like the best are the ones that are bleed, fade, and flame resistant. We like the bleed, fade, and flame the best, but don’t get me wrong we use the other types too.

Sometimes we need the crepe paper that does bleed to make some of our paper flower designs to look like the real thing so we use the crepe paper that does bleed. You may need for some of your decorations that you make to bleed so you will find out the same thing.

Have a fun time using crepe paper for whatever project that you may want to do, but remember crepe paper makes beautiful paper flowers.
