Kite paper is thin yet firm with a translucent gloss. Because it allows light to pass through like stained glass, it makes a beautiful window craft decoration. There are many variations of color combinations, folding, and cutting used to create unique and stunning stars. In Europe, it is also used for making kites. Kite paper can be used for many kinds of creative artwork: to watermark pictures, decorate lanterns, make stars, snowflakes, pinwheels, and your own creations!
