Penword mulberry paper is a pack of five delicate sheets sized 25×38 cm with a grammage of 100 g/m². This thin, textured paper has a visible fiber structure typical of mulberry paper, making it suitable for a variety of decorative and creative techniques. Its light weight and flexibility allow for easy layering, gluing and folding while retaining a natural, handcrafted appearance.
Advantages
The paper’s fibrous texture provides strong adhesion for common craft glues and varnishes, while its low grammage makes it easy to manipulate without adding bulk. Sheets can be torn or cut cleanly to create natural edges, and the material accepts water-based inks, paints and stains with subtle diffusion. Because it is thin and translucent, it works well for overlays, backlighting effects and delicate finishes.
Suitable for
- Decoupage and collage
- Gift wrapping and decorative packaging
- Scrapbooking and card making
- Mixed media artwork and layering
- Paper crafts, folding and small models
Key specifications
- Material: mulberry-style fibrous paper
- Sheet size: 25 × 38 cm
- Weight: 100 g/m²
- Quantity: 5 sheets per pack
- Surface: textured, slightly translucent
How to use
Use scissors or a craft knife to cut the sheets to the required shape, or tear them by hand to expose natural fiber edges. For decoupage and collage, apply a thin layer of PVA or decoupage glue to the substrate, position the mulberry sheet, then smooth gently to remove air pockets. When using water-based paints or inks, apply lightly to avoid oversaturation; the paper will absorb media and create soft, diffused effects. To create layered effects, overlap edges and secure with a suitable adhesive, allowing drying time between layers.
Usage recommendations
Store sheets flat in a dry environment to prevent warping. Test adhesives, varnishes and pigments on a scrap piece first to check absorption and colour outcome. For delicate projects, handle sheets with clean, dry hands and use a light touch when smoothing to preserve the fiber texture.
