Wet strength tissue paper is an art tissue paper like no other! Designed not to fall apart when wet is perfect for model making and other art activities. Once wet is can be draped over structures made with wire, willow sticks etc and then it dries to a tight hard layer of tissue paper. Traditionally it has been used to make large structures such as willow lanterns and models. Lay a sheet of the wet strength tissue paper down and wet with a a diluted PVA mix. Then place the wet strength tissue paper over the skeleton of your structure. Leave to dry and you it dries hard with whilst remaining like tissue. Put a candle in your lantern for an amazing effect. A great alternative to deli paper – once you have tried you will not go back. This tissue paper is stronger and more versatile. Each wet strength tissue paper sheet is approx. 70 by 60 cm or 27 inches by 19 inches and is 17gsm thick. Bigger and thicker sheets than standard deli paper. Like deli paper our wet strength tissue paper can be used for gelli printing. Its strength when wet will give you fantastic results and make your art work look superb. It is also great for model aircraft making. Layer the tissue over the craft skeleton and it will add strength but not weight. Also great for painting on – it will take most paints and inks without falling apart of bleeding through. Once your structure is made you can overlap with coloured tissue paper to get many effects.
