Handmade Lokta Wrapping Paper

Elevate your gift-giving with the timeless tradition of handmade Lokta wrapping paper from the Himalayas of Nepal. Crafted from the sustainable Lokta bush, this tree-free wrapping paper is created through a meticulous process: Lokta cuttings are cooked into a fibrous pulp, then hand-spread over boxed screens and dried in the Himalayan sunshine. This method preserves the paper's unique, natural texture.

Lokta Paper by The Bodhi Press features handmade quality papers made from  Daphne Cannabina or Daphne Papyracea – a small woody plant of Laurel family. A bush that grows at high altitudes in the Himalayas. The renewable bush regenerates after being harvested, and the handmade process utilized by the paper crafting families of Nepal promotes Earth-friendly and sustainable production. These natural papers contain four deckled edges, beautiful fiber texture, and vibrant colors. Lokta Paper brings a unique touch to paper crafts, invitations, scrapbooking, bookbinding, and mixed media projects. Sheets measure 20 in. x 30 in. with a paperweight of 24 grams. Sold as a pack of 10 sheets.
