Handmade Lokta Paper Garland- Bird
We love the Handmade Lokta Paper Bird Garland because it is made using sustainable processes and supports a Nepelese women's cooperative! Plus, the garland is made entirely by hand. The bark from the Daphne plant is sustainability harvested while the plant remains alive. The paper is formed from the bark using traditional papermaking techniques. The Lokta paper is decorated by hand. A women's cooperative hand cuts and assembles the birds. Then the birds are sewn into a garland that measures approximately 5 1/2 feet in length. Use the Handmade Lokta Paper Bird Garland to decorate a nursery or sunroom.

Read more about Lokta papers in our blog post:
"Lokta paper is made from the bark of a Daphne bush, which grows exclusively at the foot of the Himalayan mountains. The inner bark provides extremely long fibers to create paper, which gives Lokta paper a very durable quality. To create the Lokta paper, the bark is striped from a living bush which not only helps the bush to grow, but the bark completely regenerates in six to seven years. (A truly eco-friendly paper!) The inner bark is cooked, beaten down into a wet pulp, and scooped up into paper molds. Color is added to the paper through natural bark and flower based dyes, and this paper never touches chemicals or bleaches. Not only is Lokta paper hand pulled, it is also hand-dyed, hand screen printed, and batiked (stamped with wax) making every sheet unique in color and weight."
