Today's video is dedicated to a very interesting material. It is called differently: washable kraft paper or sewing kraft.
This material has recently appeared on the handmade market and few people know about it. The material is fascinating and multifunctional. This is the material from which it is possible (and even necessary) to sew. It is made of pure cellulose, environmentally safe and completely decomposes, unlike cellophane, for example.
It can be washed and ironed. Products made from this material can have buttons, zipper, labels, and rivets.
The word "paper" in the title is not quite accurate, it is misleading. It is not paper, but a material. Do not be afraid that over time the product from this material will tear or get worn out. On the contrary, over time they will look better and more interesting. After long use, the material becomes softer. Its texture resembles leather texture.
To make a basket, you need a piece of 45×50 cm if you want to make a high basket, and to make a basket of medium size (as in the photo), a piece of 25×45 cm will be enough.
Making a basket will take only 10 minutes and I will sew kraft with an ordinary sewing machine, no additional equipment is needed.
Don't be afraid of the new! Experiment! Do it with pleasure :-)
