Making a new wrapping paper

by aeondax » Aug 2nd, '11, 12:44

I have some naked sheng bricks and tuos, and would like to wrap them in something other than paper bags. I may even attempt calligraphy on some of them. Has anyone any experience in making their own wraps which they would share? Is pH-neutral paper a good choice, paper porosity, and how do papers interact with tea. I'd like suggestions, considerations, sources, etc for attractive, strong, flexible, reasonably priced paper. Thanks.

Hi,
calligraphy paper is the best.The are a few qualities.Get the good one as the cheaper ones intend to tear when you wrap the beeng or when it touch a rough edge.In fact I bought a 50pcs of the calligraphy paper as I use them to cover my urns and also use them to wrap my current drinking tea and place the tea in a tin.Big round tin.So the paper is quite useful.
