Crepe paper opens up a colourful world of possibilities when it comes to creative decorating with beautiful flowers, pompoms or pennants in every colour of the rainbow. The thin, light and wrinkled paper is available in all colours and can be used to create various creative and not least beautiful creations.
You can choose between packs of smaller pieces or whole rolls of crepe paper, for example, if you're decorating for a big party. Let your imagination run wild and choose your favourite colours here.
What is crepe paper?
The paper itself is similar to tissue paper, but instead of being thin and fragile, crepe paper has been treated so that it contracts, creating the unique texture that characterises the material. It is easily recognised by the crepe or wrinkled surface and the great elasticity that comes from the wrinkles in the paper.
The paper itself is a lot stronger than tissue paper and can also be stretched and shaped in many ways if you choose to take advantage of the wrinkled surface. When using crepe paper, it's important to remember that the paper is very colour-saturated and can therefore rub off - especially if it gets wet or damp. Therefore, be sure to keep it dry or let it dry on a surface that will not absorb any excess colour.
How to use crepe paper
There are lots of great crepe paper ideas online, and you can find inspiration to make everything from beautiful, lifelike flowers to beautiful pom-poms and garlands of all kinds. You'll find all the equipment you need to make these beautiful creations. The most popular types of decorations with crepe paper rolls are:
Flowers made of crepe paper
You can make the most beautiful flowers using crepe paper, and it doesn't necessarily have to be difficult. Because the paper has a natural wrinkled surface, very similar to the natural leaves of flowers. Make individual flowers or give a whole bouquet to someone you love.
Crepe paper pompoms
Just like flowers, you can also make both large and small pompoms using several layers of crepe paper, which are placed on top of each other and clipped or sewn together and then folded out to create a nice 'mille feuille' effect that looks really pretty as a decoration for festive occasions.
Crepe paper garlands
You can also make colourful garlands with crepe paper. There are many possibilities to combine colours and shapes if you choose to make garlands with the paper. Cut fringes and roll the paper into long tassels, make several small pompoms, or come up with something completely different, the only limit is your imagination.
